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.

A Stitch in Time by Pattie's Creations - cdacpc22a, PC

A Stitch in Time by Pattie's Creations is one of the featured freebie digi stamps this week on the CDAC Progressive Freebie Digi Challenges.  My card uses the Spellbinders Mega Classic Scalloped Ovals Lg die cut for the image which is colored with Copic Markers.  The sentiment stamp from Red Rubber Designs is Sew Thankful, which I stamped on green cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I added stitch lines on the sentiment strip and also around the scalloped edges of the die with Memento Duel Marker Bamboo Leaves.  The background cardstock is Beach Stripe by Chatterbox, Inc.

Sew Thankful Blog Hop

September at Red Rubber Designs is Vintage month.  Our Featured Stamp set is Sew Thankful, which we as the Design Team are all using for our September Blog Hop.  You will see a variety of ways to use this stamp set as you hop from blog to blog. 

For my project I have made a tri-fold slant card using only background stamps (instead of printed papers) for the panels.  Each of the images from Sew Thankful are embossed with  pigment ink and a heat tool.  I colored the images with a few Copic markers.  The background cardstock is black and the images are mounted on red and black cardstock.  I used Spellbinders Lacy Circles die for the sewing machine and backed it with a circle cut with a circle cutter.

 

Here is the card opened up so you can see both sides of the card.  The accent flower is Red Homemade Crocheted Flowers with a button in the middle and red Scrappers Floss.

Suppies:
Stamps:    Sew Thankful, Background Stripes, Background Soup,  Gingham Background
Inks:  Black pigment ink, L'Amore Palette Ink,  Memento Tuxedo Black
Cardstock:  White, black, red
Other:  Clear Embossing powder, heat tool, button, Red Scrapper's Floss, Spellbinder's Lacy Circles die, circle cutter
