Welcome to Rubbernecker Stamps Tuesday’s with the Team. This is the “other” Charlene, aka cookiebaker. Today, my card for you is Clean and Simple.
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month (don’t forget to do your self-check, ladies!) Sadly, we have several friends who’ve been recently diagnosed with breast cancer so I needed a few quick cards. Thankfully, Rubbernecker Stamps has so many beautiful sentiments that make creating meaningful cards easy.
My card for you today is super CAS. I was inspired by the Week 38 challenge on the Less is More blog to use Polka Dots.
I chose the beautiful sentiment from Rubbernecker called “Sorrow Looks at Yesterday” 582-17 as my main image.
Here are your supplies:
Card base: 8 /12 x 5 ½ inches scored
Stamps: Rubbernecker Stamps 582-17
Ink : Tsukineko Versafine black
Designer Paper: Making Memories
Ribbon: May Arts 1 /14 inch Pink Silk Ribbon
Other: tape runner, Glue Dots, SU scalloped edge punch, Quickie Glue Pen, Stamp-a-ma-jig (optional)
1. After scoring your card, trim 1/8 inch from the bottom edge of the card front.
2. Cut Designer Paper 5 ½ x 1 ½ inches. Punch one end with the scalloped edge punch.
3. Attach the scalloped paper to the bottom edge of the card front using tape runner. Attach the leftover strip of designer paper to the bottom edge of the inside edge of the card using the Quickie Glue Pen.
4. Lay ribbon across the card front to see how far up you need to place your sentiment. Remove the ribbon, stamp sentiment. Tie ribbon around the card using Glue Dot, if needed to hold the bow in place.
That’s it! Quick, easy and elegant thanks to the beautiful Rubbernecker Stamps sentiments.
Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to stop in tomorrow for Wednesday’s Work Table with Charlene Merrick.





I so love your style, "Other Charlene!" LOL! This is simply elegant and beautiful with the polkadots and pink! Great bow, too! Thanks for sharing the details on how you designed the bottom of your card.
