Life of the Party Tag

     Inspiration can come in many ways, and mine for this tag was a peacock feather, featuring the Life of the Party Unmounted Rubber Stamp from Red Rubber Designs!


     I used Distress Spray Stains to color the background of this manila tag, and to color the Life of the Party Stamp embossed with glitter onto white cardstock. After adding sequins I popped it up for dimension.


     Then I added a border along the bottom with the Fanciful Vintage Unmounted Stamp Set, also embossed with glitter onto a strip of teal cardstock.


     To really make the colors pop, I finished all of the edges with black embossed glitter.


   
     Thanks for your visit, and be sure to visit Red Rubber Designs for these stamp sets and more!

Be Fabulous



Hello there!  Today I am featuring the Be Fabulous stamp set from Red Rubber Designs.  This set has such pretty images along with six sentiments. 


I used Memento - Peanut Brittle ink to stamp the image which caused the collage elements to recede slightly allowing the flowers to be the focal point.  


That is it for me today!  

I hope you have had a chance to shop in the newly remodeled Red Rubber Stamps online store!  You can find the Be Fabulous  set in the store along with many more collage style stamps and flower stamps.

Everyday Eclectic Card

     Have you seen the new Red Rubber Designs store yet? It looks fabulous, is easy to navigate, and really showcases each and every product with larger detailed photos! So I'm back with an everyday card that can be used for almost any occasion. I started by painting an ombré background onto white cardstock with Dylusions Paints, cut about 1/2" larger than the Here I am stamp I used to emboss with.


     Then I embossed the pears with the Everyday Eclectic stamp, colored with Distress Inks, and mounted it onto black cardstock after distressing the edges.


     Finally, I placed a strip of sheer ribbon before machine stitching around the image and background.


     Thanks for looking, and if you haven't already, take a look at the new Red Rubber Designs Store!

Every Road


Hello!!!  First off, thanks for waiting while we remodeled the new store!  It's now open and I think you are going to love it!  The Red Rubber Designs store is clean, crisp and easy to use! You can check it out HERE!

This time of year is always crazy busy at our house.  Teacher appreciation days, awards nights, and graduations keep us moving at a steady pace and finds me very busy in the art room!

The kids had two graduation parties to attend so I pulled out the fabulous Every Road stamp set and had fun creating!  

As you can see Every Road isn't necessarily a graduation stamp set but the sentiments and images are awesome for celebrating an ending and a new beginning!!!


I used my favorite "go to" background technique of stamping distress ink pads onto a kraft sheet, spritzing with water and swishing mixed media paper through the ink.  I swished the papers through Mustard Seed watery ink first, dried with a heat gun then swished the paper through Peacock Feathers watery ink. 



I had great fun stamping just a bit of the background stamp randomly on the tag.  I love this scripture for encouraging grads to stay on the right path as they strike out into a world of amazing possibilities! 


For this card, I changed the orientation and used the generation stamping technique on the bicycle.  Another great sentiment for the grad!  May every road you travel take you to God!


Thanks so much for stopping by today, I hope you are inspired to check out the new Red Rubber Designs store!  :)
