Red Rubber Designs Blog Hop - Flowers & Holly

 

Welcome to the Red Rubber Design Blog Hop.  The Spotlight stamp this month is Flowers and Holly.  I chose the holly stamp to make a Christmas card.  The background patterned cardstock is Reece.  The sentiment I've used on the card is from the RRD stamp set,

 Joy and Peace.

Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Copics (YG93, YG95, YG97, R24, R29, R59)

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.

Hope you have enjoyed Red Rubber Designs Christmas creations this month.  Be sure to check out the blog posts of the other designers to see them all.  (They are listed on the right side-bar).

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)

Hopefully you will join us for our Textiles challenge on the Little Miss Muffet blog.  The challenge is open to any images, but if you use a LMM image, anything goes.  You don't even have to follow the challenge of Textiles.  Barbara, the owner, is out of town for a few days.  So please note the following:

1. As Digi orders will be slightly delayed, all digi orders will receive a new unrevealed, winter themed digi image

2. Rubber and Diecut orders will be shipped out on 27th November, and will receive a free sentiment stamp. Choose from Royal Decree or Sugar & Spice Sentiment. Please e-mail Barbara with your choice of free stamp at the time of ordering
