Flower Bet by Red Rubber Designs

Today I am showing a project I made with the Flower Bet alphabet stamp set by Red Rubber Designs.  This is a beautiful alphabet set with lots of possibilities.  My project is a framed piece of home decor.  The background paper is Genevieve.  Each letter was stamped separately on white cardstock with purple pigment ink, embossed with clear embossing powder and a heat tool.  Then I used the Spellbinders Nestabilities Big Scalloped Squares to cut them out.  I intended to leave the letters separate, but they did not fit my frame so I had to slightly overlap them.  This could be stood on an easle, as shown, or hung on the wall.  Hope you like it.  Maybe it gives you an idea of something to do with alpha stamps.

Thanks for looking at my blog today.  Blessings to you!

Little Miss Muffet Challenge - Tags or Gifts

Welcome to another Little Miss Muffet challenge.  This one is for tags or gifts.  I've combined the two to make a gift with a tag from one of the new releases called Snowballs.  He's a cute little winter boy.  Colored blue like the snowball candy, he makes a fun tag.  

Here's a close up of the image.  The sentiment is computer generated.

 

Supplies:

Copics (BG01, BG05, BG07, BG09, YG03, YG07, YG09, E00, E01, E13, E15, C2, C3, C5, C7)

White Liquid Applique for snowballs

Two blue ribbons

Two blue cardstocks

hole punch

jar and candy 

Please join us for the tags or gifts challenge.  You may use any stamp, but if you use a Little Miss Muffet stamp, anything goes and you don't have to follow the challenge.  See details of the challenge and enter on the LMM Blog.

This is my last post as a Guest Designer for Little Miss Muffet for the months of October and November.  They have very cute stamps - both rubber and digis, a great design team, and a fabulous owner.  It has been a joy to be a part of their team during these months.

 

 

Hung on a Tree

One more Christmas card for this month.  This stamp set, one of the RRD featured stamps, is called Hung on a Tree.  There is a pretty Christmas tree also in this set.  I chose to use the poinsettias.  The background is Spellbinders Fancy Lattice die cut.  I've used green and red Bazzil cardstock, and white cardstock for the sentiment.  The image and sentiment are stamped with Tuxedo Black Memento ink.  The poinsettias are colored with Copics:  R24, R27, R59, YR23, YR24.

Christmas Fun Tumbled Marble Tiles gift

Christmas Fun is the stamp set I used to make these tumbled marble coasters.  I've shown coasters before, and they are one of my favorite things to make for gifts.  I stamped the images with Stazon Black ink, colored them in with Fabrico Markers and then heat set them with a Heat Tool.  The white on Santa and the stocking is Stazon white re-inker.  The tiles are sprayed lightly with a Krylon Clear Mat Finish.  A cork coaster is glued to the back of each coaster.

Little Miss Muffet Challenge - Textiles

The Little Miss Muffet challenge this week is Textiles.  That means using any kind of fabric on the project - material, ribbon, twine, felt, etc.  I had a crinkly wide ribbon that I thought would fit nicely as a background and also as a bow.  I've used the LMM rubber stamp  Cinnamon as my focal image and a sentiment Gift With Purchase stamp from TAC.

 The stamped image is cut with Spellbinders Labels Twenty.  The background cardstock is from a pad of Authentique Essentials Collection.  And the bow is wrapped with Tawny Scrappers Spool.  I added three turquoise jewels.  The image is colored with Copics (BG01, BG07, BG18, BG57, BG75, YR23, E35, E37, E21, E00, E01, E13, BV02, RV23, E71, E74, C1, C3)

With His Glory

 

With His Glory is another Featured Stamp this month at Red Rubber Designs.

It's November and we have a month of "Holidays in Winter" stamps at Red Rubber Designs.  Twinkle in the Eye is our Spotlight Stamp,  and you can get it for 40% off this month.  I love this vintage collage stamp.

The background paper is Catelyn Patterned Cardstock.  And I've used black cardstock for matting of both the stamp and the sentiment.  The sentiment is from the RRD stamp set, Joy and Peace.

 

The white scalloped edge is cut with with a Creative Memories Scallop edger and then embossed with a Cuttlebug Snowflake Embossing Folder.  

Copics used:  R89, R85, E01, E11, E13, E15, G46, B00, B37, N4

Little Miss Muffet- "Inspired By" Challenge

 

This Little Miss Muffet Challenge is inspired by these fireworks photos.  

I chose to use a Sizzix Embossing Folder to give a "feel" for fireworks.  After embossing the pink cardstock, I sprayed it with Sparkle Shimmer Spritz, painted the rays with Sparkle Smooch and then added Pink Stickles - all to give it sparkle.

I have used Pollycraft Swings and Slides Butterflies, one of the new LMM releases last month, as my image.  With an inside saying, I'm making this a birthday card.  She is colored with Copic Markers and cut out with Spellbinders Labels Ten Nestablities.  The cardstock is pink PaperTrey Ink and Bazill aqua and Copic XPress white.  I added a white organza ribbon that I colored with Copic BG13.   

Here's a close-up view.

As always, we invite you to join the challenge and upload your card at the LMM Blog.  All the details are there.  You could be a random winner, so come participate in the fun.
