Rubbernecker Stamps

Wacky Wednesday #24

Hello everyone and welcome to Wacky Wednesday!!!!! I am excited to be your hostess today because we are going to take a walk down memory lane!!! My challenge to you and the Red Hot Mommas is to make a card using a favorite memory in your past as inspiration. It can be a favorite moment, event, trip, article of clothing...anything that brings a smile or a giggle. Oh, one more thing....you must tell us the story behind the memory!!!

My first sample features Rubbernecker's Brush Gown With Large Bow #235-05

 

My senior prom dress was long and slender like this dress (minus the bow)  and the most beautiful color of  emerald green. I felt sooo glamorous that night....I even had an emerald green satin purse and long white gloves...Whoohoo!!!

The dress was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored with copics. The edges were sponged before it was removed from the Spellbinders die to create the white border. The crystal flourish and ribbon finish it off.

Recipe:

Stamps: Rubbernecker Brush Gown With Large Bow

Paper: Prism Simply Smooth White, Black, 7 Gypsies dp

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, So Saffron, More Mustard

Accessories: Black Crystal Flourish, Black Silk Ribbon, Sewing Machine, Nestabilities, Foam Tape

My second sample used Rubbernecker's Poodle Skirt

 

I know you can hardly believe this (since I'm not a day over 35) but I had a poodle skirt when I was 10 years old!!! It wasn't this pretty but I was such a hit at the roller skating rink!!!!

This long card was such a fun card to make....the image is on the Glitz dp...I just added the poodle skirt over the one she had on and cutout her arm so it fell over the skirt. The skirt was stamped on a scrap piece of Basic Grey paper and the tiny poodle was colored with a copic. Black pearls were added to the skirt and pink rhinestones were added to the earring. The Rubberencker Diva sentiment was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black and a large eyelet and ribbon finish it off.

Recipe:

Stamps: Rubbernecker's Poodle Skirt and sentiment from Rubbernecker's Diva Inchies set #422

Paper: Prism Simply Smooth White, Black, Glitz dp

Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black

Accessories: Black Pearls, Pink Rhinestones, Large Eyelet, Ribbon, Foam Tape

Blogger Challenge #13

Good morning!  It's my turn once again to host this week's Blogger Challenge.  I've challenged the Design Team and you, to make a card in any shape other than the standard 4.25x5.5.  It can be a long or tall card, or any other shape you want it to be.  Your card must also include snowflakes!

To participate, all you have to do is upload your card to either your blog and/or online gallery and comment on this post, including the link to your card.

Here's my sample and you can find all the details at Walkin' on the BAD Side!

Blogger’s Challenge - RNBC12 * Nix the Ribbon! *

Good morning, everyone!  I’m delighted to present our Rubbernecker Bloggers’ Challenge #8  ( RNBC12 ) !     In previous challenges we have been treated to a splendid sketch, paper-piecing, and lots more!   Today, I’m challenging everyone to “nix” the ribbon, and instead, use some other type  of fiber!  Ideas include twine, hemp, threads, eyelash fiber, embroidery floss, cording,  … you name it!  I’ve chosen to unravel some metallic cord for my project.   The overall design simply needs to include a fiber “other than” ribbon!    (Please do not give my hubby the satisfaction of saying that stampers cannot work without ribbon!)  hahaha 

You might be thinking, “How do I play along?”  It’s so easy!  All you have to do is use the challenge requirement and upload your project to your blog and/or your online gallery.  We love to showcase your projects on the Rubbernecker blog, and ask that you please come backto the Rubbernecker Blog post, and add a link to your project in the comment section.  In other words, we love looking at new eye-candy just like you!

 

My project is not a card, but rather a ‘pin‘ to be worn on a jacket, coat, or sweater during the holiday season!   Please feel free to create a card or a non-card project .. it’s all up to you!    The base of my pin is actually a laminate sample from our nearby home improvement store.   I merely melted some distress embossing powder in my melting pot, and dipped/coated a laminate sample into the melted goody!  (I’ll admit that I am so thankful to have the Melt Art tools to accompany my melting pot!)    I used my heat tool to even out any ‘warped’ waves, and as long the work is done atop the non-stick Craft Sheet, all surfaces are safe.    By the way … you MUST check out the Rubbernecker Clearance SALE going on right now!

 

This time, I’ve created my first ‘paper toile’ project.  The main image was stamped, colored, & cut out 4 times.  Each layer is stacked below the next.  The top layer is the only one to receive the glossy accents, although all layers are colored with Copic Markers.  This is a first for me, inspired by a recent card I’ve received from an International Cyber-friend, Meda.  Thank you , Meda, for your gift as well as for the inspiration to “stretch“, Meda!   I’ve attached a simple pin attachment to the back, with my trusty cool-temp heated glue.  You could substitute with E-6000 glue if you prefer.  My fiber is actually a red metallic cording that I have ‘untwined’!   I wanted something a little different than the usual cord or hemp.  You might be surprised at what happens when you “unwind” ribbons or cords in your stash! 

 Project Recipe:  STAMPS –  I Love Santa

INKS–  Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers

PAPERS – PaperTrey Ink White

ACCESSORIES –  Melting Pot, Ranger Antiquities Embossing Powder Chinese Red, Melt Art Ultra Thick Embossing Enamel, heat tool, Embossing Tinsel - Red, Quick-Dry glue, Ranger Glossy Accents, foam tape, pin-attachment (JoAnn), liquid applique, Vintage Glass Glitter, Ranger Craft Sheet.

RBC11 - Think Food!

Today, challenge seekers, your challenge (should you choose to accept it)  is to create a card or project about or using food items.  Come on, you know you're hungry and just waiting for that big Thanksgiving feast!  So use those thoughts and that hunger to inspire you to create.

My card uses the Cornucopia stamp from the Rubbernecker Fall section. I colored it with my Copic markers, and no the orange is not really that florescent looking in real life!

Please play along with us, and leave a comment here linking us directly to your card.  We'd love to see your food inspired creation!

We wish you a very Happy Thanksgiving!

RNBC10 Sparkle, Glimmer, Shine!

It's beginning to look alot like Christmas in Michigan with our first snow of the season on the ground.  In keeping with the festive spirit, today's challenge is to add some sparkle glimmer or shine to your project.  How about some glitter, pearlized paint, perfect pearls, rhinestones, metallic ribbon etc...

Be sure to leave a comment on this post with the link to your project and use the key words RNBC10

Today's card uses Stamp Oasis snowflake background stamped using Adirondack Paint Dabber in pearl on the white layer and the tag.  The tag and frame were cut using my new Electronic Die cut machine SLICE by Making Memories.  After the pearl paint was dry on the tag, it was sprayed with pearlized distress mists in Weathered Wood and Faded Jeans.  Perfect Pearls/pearl was added to the mist for extra shimmer.  The snowflake was stamped in Faded jeans and the vertical text in Versafine onyx black.  The brushed silver frame was inked with Versamagic Dazzle watermark pad/champagne and embossed with holographic embossing powder.  A packing tape window was added with dazzling diamonds glitter.  The snowflake square is stamped in Faded Jeans on white CS.  A snowflake brad, rhinestone and ribbon finish off the card.  We can't wait to see what you come up with!

Rubbernecker Blogger Challenge #9

It’s my week to host the Rubbernecker challenge and I’ve chosen to present you with an inspiration piece to get your creative juices flowing! 

As I was browsing the web, searching art sites, I came across this great print by Dee Ott on Art.com.  I love the vivid colors and the abstract style.

So here’s your challenge.  Create a card or other paper crafting project using this print as your starting point.  You can use just the colors, the fern image, the abstract style or anything about it that inspires you.  Generally what I do for with an inspiration piece is to sit and look at it for a while, trying to grasp the feeling of it.  Then I walk away.  When I come back to my craft table whatever has stuck in my mind about the piece is what I go with.

There’s no right or wrong to it.  That’s what inspiration is all about.  Everyone interprets it differently.

So in order to participate, you simply need to create your project using this picture as your inspiration and upload it to your blog or any other online photo gallery.  Please come back here and leave us a comment, providing a direct link to your finished piece.  It will be really interesting to see all the different interpretations!

This is what I came up with:

You can find all the card details here on my blog Splashes of Watercolor.

Blogger Challenge 6 -Paper Piecing with Kittie

Happy Wednesday morning to you.  I am happy to be hosting this weeks Rubbernecker Blogger Challenge.  I thought Paper Piecing would be a fun challenge.  I really enjoy paper piecing and love the dimension that can be created by using different patterns together.

This week Splitcoaststampers is honoring Breast Cancer Awareness Month by focusing on the use of pink for each daily challenge.

Blogger Challenge #5

Good morning!  This week's Blogger Challenge is a Color Challenge - green, blue and brown.  When I first thought of these colors, I was envisioning snowmen, trees and skies!   Needless to say, my sample didn't even come close to that -- I got a little sidetracked! 

You are free to use any brand of paper and any shade of these colors.  You may also combine this challenge with any other challenge.  We don't want to leave anyone out because you don't have the specific colors of paper.  To participate, all you have to do is use the challenge requirement and upload your project to your blog and/or your online gallery.  We want to showcase your projects on our blog and ask that you please come back to this post, and add a link to your project in the comment section.
