Red Rubber Inspirational #115 - Masculine Birthday

Today it is Masculine Birthday cards at the Red Rubber Inspirational challenge blog.  Lynda leads us in this week's challenge.  My first card uses the Eyes to See and Masterpiece rubber stamp sets.  I've stamped some of the images as background on Kraft cardstock. The focal image is stamped on cream cardstock and colored with Copic makers.  Twill ribbon and brads are added for accent.

Red Rubber Designs - Father's Day

Today I'm featuring a card idea for Father's Day.  My card uses the Red Rubber Designs stamp sets Hey Life and Distressed Typewriter Bet.  Premium White card  stock is used for the base card and Just Like Dad paper for the background.

The image and sayings are stamped with Palette Ink Starry Night.  Then the edges are sponged with Palette Ink Cote d"Azure. I colored three white buttons with a Copic Marker and added blue and white twine.

Since Hey Life is the Spotlight Stamp this month with Red Rubber Designs, you can get this set for 25% off.

Red Rubber Designs Blog Hop - Hey Life

 

It is time for another RRD Blog Hop.  For the month of May each designer is using the bicycle lady from the Hey Life stamp set.  I also used the Ancient Map Background stamp for my background, which was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on Amberley Grace patterned cardstock.  I made the words "go girl" from the Distressed Typewriter Bet stamp set.  The bicycle lady and the sayings are stamped in Beaux Arts Blue Palette ink. 

 

This card uses a spinner die from Paper Trey Ink which allows the bicycle lady to spin and move across the card.  The base card is Premium White cardstock and the solid blue cardstock is from the Amberley Grace cardstock collection.  I used a Crop-a-dile to attach the eyelets from the Amberely Grace hardware collection.  Then I added a small ribbon to the back of the saying and popped it up with foam tape.  The edges of the card and saying are sponged with Beaux Arts Ink.

 Blog Hop Prize Details:

The Bicycle Lady needs a name - and we need your help to find it! Each blog on the hop (except the Red Rubber Designs Blog) has one of the letters of the Bicycle Lady's name somewhere in their blog hop post. Once you find all seven letters (that's a hint!) put them together to form her name. You may have to rearrange them a little bit!

Note: The letter you need from each blog will be obvious if you read carefully.... it looks just a little different from the rest of the letters!

Once you figure it out, email the name to contest@RedRubberDesigns.com and be sure to put your name and email address in the email with the Bicycle Lady's name. Every correct answer will be entered into a drawing for the featured stamp set - "Hey Life" - and one winner will be chosen at random. Good luck!

Contest ends Sunday, May 6th at Midnight (US-CT).
