Holiday Collage Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     The holiday season is here, and my card featuring the Holiday Collages Cling Mounted Stamp from Red Rubber Designs is all ready to be mailed out!

   After coloring the background with Lindy's Gang (Cathedral Pines Green) and Distress Spray Stain (Candied Apple), I embossed the stars with the Build-A-Background Stamp. 

     All of the stamping was embossed with Emerald Creek Embossing Powder (Mirror Gold), and the sentiment done with the Vintage Christmas Cling Mounted Stamp.

   

     The Holiday Collages Stamp was fussy cut and colored with Lindy's Gang Spray (Cathedral Pines Green). Then I tied it all together with the plaid ribbon. 

     Thanks for looking, and get these stamps and other Winter & Christmas Stamps at Red Rubber Designs.

Vintage Santa Card Set ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Hello! I'm back to share a set of Christmas cards featuring the Vintage Santa Unmounted Rubber Stamp Set from Red Rubber Designs!

     My design inspiration came from the December Card Sketch Challenge @ Scrapbook.com using Sketch #2.

     The colors were inspired by the festive December Color Challenge @ Lindy's Stamp Gang!

     I started by coloring a sheet of 12 X 12 cream cardstock with Magicals (Rizzo's Rowdy Red, Greased Lightnin' Green, and Drop Dead Gorgeous Green) and some water, which produced a beautiful effect. Once dry I stamped the Vintage Santa image all over it, in order to make multiple cards with unique color effects.

     I cut a strip of black cardstock to mimic Santa's belt, with a letter tucked into it, stamped with Vintage Script, and colored with different Lindy's sprays (Brushed Nickel, Black Orchid Silver,  Pineapple Paradise, Golden Doubloons, Cathedral Pines Green, and Ponderosa Pines Olive). For some more variation, I added different striped ribbons and colors of bling.

   
     The sentiment was embossed with Lindy's Purely White Embossing Powder, and also comes in the cling mounted Vintage Christmas stamp set, which also includes the snowflakes that I stamped onto my Scarlet card base.

     The green one is my fave! Thanks for looking!

Vintage Santa Card Set Preview ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     Happy Thursday! Today I'm featuring the Vintage Santa Unmounted Rubber Stamp Set for Red Rubber Designs! I was able to make quite a few Christmas cards from this set using the same design, but keeping each one unique in the coloring. I also used different ribbons and colors of bling to achieve different looks. Please visit the Red Rubber Designs Blog to see all of my versions, including my favorite one.

Train Collage Christmas Card ~ Red Rubber Designs DT

     My mother-in-law just LOVES vintage trains, so of course I had to make her this Christmas card featuring the Train Collage stamp from Red Rubber Designs!

     I was inspired by this November Week 1 Sketch at Viva la Verve Sketches!

     For the background I blended various Distress Inks onto some white cardstock to give it a vintage look. Then I used Palette Inks (L'Amore Red and Giverney Green) with the Vintage Script stamp, and tore and distressed the edges. I used the same Distress Ink colors on some more white cardstock for the background where I stamped the train with black ink twice, so that I could make a frame with it for this months Stamped and Cut Window Technique at House of Cards. I also cut out the windows in the train and backed it with some yellow glitter paper. 

     To color the train and leaves, I used Distress Inks again, and a gold pen, with touches of Stickles for some sparkle. After adding the ribbons, I popped up my frame with some Pop Dots. The sentiment was stamped and embossed using the Vintage Christmas stamp.

Inspirational #151 ~ Merry Christmas Card

    Even though Christmas is right around the corner, there's still time to make some last minute cards, like the one I made here for Inspirational #151. I'm hosting this week at Red Rubber Inspirationals with the stamping theme "Christmas Cheer", and would love to see your projects!

     I started this card by blending some Distress Inks (Broken China, Tumbled Glass, and Shaded Lilac) onto some white cardstock, flicking an old toothbrush with water onto it. Then I used some white embossing powder to create snow with the Speckle Background stamp. After cutting 2" strips I embossed the edges to look like snowy windows. The trees were stamped with Palette Inks (Jardin Moss and Burnt Umber) using the Oh Christmas Tree stamp, and then embossed with white again, to create snowy trees. I also used white embossing powder to the hills, which I hand cut, along with the sentiment and snowflakes using Vintage Christmas, all from Red Rubber Designs, which carries a wonderful selection of Christmas stamps at great prices.

      This is my entry for Sketch #5 used in the December Card Sketch Challenge @ Scrapbook.com.

     Thanks for your visit, and have a wonderful holiday!!
