Happy Birthday, Red Rubber Designs

Today is the one-year birthday for Red Rubber Designs, and we are having a celebration.  Each of the Design Team Members is featuring their "favorites" from this past year.  We'll show you our personal favorite Red Rubber Designs creation, and also our favorites from the other DT members.

 I have two favorites that I posted during the past year.  The first one is keychains made with my grandchildren's pictures.  On the reverse of each picture is a quote from the Red Rubber Designs stamp set, Be Happiness.  You can read more about the project here.

Another favorite of mine is the September 2012 Spotlight stamp set, Sew Thankful.  I made a tri-fold slant card with this set.  Check out the details here.

Now let me show you some of my favorite creations from the Design Team.

Sarah

Sarah is the tag queen.  She makes the loveliest vintage tags.  I like this Gerbera Daisy tag she created.   Check out Sarah's blog post.

 

Louise

Louise had the prettiest card and matching envelope using Red Rubber Designs' Lovely Peony stamp set.  This was in the October 2012 Blog Hop.  Look here to see the details.

Diana

Diana's Furry Friends card is one of the cutiest she had all year, although I liked many others of hers also.  Here it is, and you can find her blog post here. 

 

Kate

Kate does the most unique collages and vintage work.  Here is her Sunflowers creation. I really like this one.  Here's the link to her blog.

I hope you enjoyed this short memory trip from this first year of Red Rubber Designs.

Red Rubber Designs - Words of Wisdom Keychain Album

 

 All month we are featuring projects with stamps that can be used with scrapbooking or similar album ideas.  My project this week is a keychain album using photos and stamps.

My idea came from a link on Pinterest, where an old gift card, credit card or other plastic card is cut into smaller pieces with holes punched to fit a keychain.  I cut several cards in three pieces and rounded the corners.  I used the RRD Lilly Anna patterned cardstock collection for the background papers on the fronts and backs of each piece.  I printed small photos of my grandchildren to put on the fronts of the small tags.  On the backs I stamped words of wisdom for each child from the Be Happiness stamp set from Red Rubber Designs.  I inked the edges of each piece and punched holes in the top using the Crop-a-Dile tool.  Each piece was then decoupaged with Mod Podge Mat to seal them.    A chain was added to tie them together into a photo album.  I thought this little album could be used on a keychain, a tote bag, or a purse.  It is sort of like a brag album for mom.  I made one for each of my daughter-in-laws to give them for Mother's Day.

Thank you for visiting my blog and looking at my project.
