Rubbernecker Stamps

These are two tags that I made with my new Rubbernecker Stamps. They both use Tim Holtz Distress inks and Crackle paint on the tag. Then they were stamped with the baby poem with Distress Ink. I stamped the little teddy bear and put distress inks on then used a Emobossing marker to add the colored Distress powder to the feet, ears and tummys. The saying on the pink one should have been moved down further but it was my first try. :)

I will be demoing some tags using Rubberneckers stamps and Tim Holtz Distress products at the Rubber Stamp Expo this weekend. Here are some details about it.

Mother's Day card

This is the card I made for my mom for Mother's Day this year. Of course it looks much better in person. The white craft ink on the borders is sort of shimmery and I have little dabs of glitter in the centers of the flowers. I didn't have a Happy Mother's Day stamp that would fit so I printed this one out on the computer using the SU font CD.

Stamps: Blossoms Abound
Paper: Not Quite Navy, Kraft, Always Artichoke,
Ink: White Craft, Not Quite Navy Craft, Always Artichoke
Accessories: SU font, Ribbon, Corner punch

Great new bag

I just recieved a new bag from a new company. You can see their website here . I picked the 8 Days a Week bag (see picture). It is very nice. I have my mini catalog in the clear space on the front but you can put pictures or any kind of artwork there as well. Please check them out if you like bags. They have backpacks, bible holders and other things as well.

NSD make and take

Here is the two page 12 X 12 layout that my NSD guests will be making. My husband took the picture and didn't get the importance of showing the whole layout! I have to teach him better... :)

Anyway, I used the stamp set Bloomin' Beautiful and stamped on watercolor paper. Then I colored in the flower and the bee using ink and a Auquapainter.

First Papertrey stamp set

I bought this stamp set from Papertrey Ink to use for thank you cards for my sons baptism. Well, I totally forgot and didn't make the cards. Shame on me. I did try out the set the other day though. I stamped the cross and the saying in Close to Cocoa craft ink and then embossed with clear. The background paper is a discontinued one from Stampin' Up!. I can't remember the name of it.

I will never give up my rubber stamps that are wood mounted but this set was very easy to use. I did really like being able to see exactly where I was stamping. :)

Recipe: Stamps: Everyday Blessings (Papertrey Ink), Ink: Close to Cocoa Craft, CS: Vanilla, Creamy Caramel, Other: Clear Embossing Powder, Ribbon, Tiny crystal.
