Happy Thanksgiving and a Challenge

Today, challenge seekers, your challenge (should you choose to accept it)  is to create a card or project about or using food items.  Come on, you know you're hungry and just waiting for that big Thanksgiving feast!  So use those thoughts and that hunger to inspire you to create.

Please play along with us, and leave a comment HERE linking us directly to your card. We’d love to see your food inspired creation!

Here is my card:

Happy Thanksgiving-RBC11

Since we are heading out  to go "Over the river and through the woods to Grandmother's house", I decided to keep this one simple.

The dp is by Melissa Frances; all of the cardstock but the main image is Bazzill; the vanilla cardstock is by SU!;  the punch is a Martha Stewart punch,;

I used the Cornucopia stamp from the Rubbernecker Fall section.

I hope you have a joyful Thanksgiving.

100% Genuine

CHOCOLATE!

This is for today’s Limited Supply Challenge #195.  Hosted by my talented friend, Judy!


The theme is Charlie and the Chocolate factory and we were to incorporate a chocolate theme. I used Chocolate Chip cardstock, Rich Cocoa ink (Memento), and actual chocolates. YUMMO!!

Genuine Chocolate
The container is the box in a bag: Diana’s tutorial.  It is easy and fun.  The window is from a Spellbinder's die (Label #1).  The window is from some light bulb packaging (I had to remove it to recycle the box anyway).


The stamps are Yapples from the DoodleFactory and the Plaque Set. All from Starving Artistamps.

Thanks for stopping by my blog--I hope you can get some choco-mojo going and play, too!

Shimmer and Sparkle

It is time for a new Rubbernecker Stamp Company Blog Challenge.

This week is hosted by none other than the queen of collage: Shelly Kuck!!  You can get all the details (and see Shelly's cool card by going: HERE.

Now you know you have bling, or shimmer, or glitter--somewhere in your stash....so lets get a holiday card done and play!!

Here is my "play":

rbc10-Shimmery Silent Night

(note: the oval is not off kilter--I am just a bad photographer)

I got the technique used on this card from Colleen Schaan, on her Technique Tuesday segment of her blog.  She calls it Painting Pearls.  It is super easy.  On dark paper, stamp with VersaMark (or other watermark/embossing pad), clear emboss, and then paint with water and perfect pearls.  You end up with a resist.    I think this technique was made for this stamp!!!

Materials used:

Check out what the rest of the design team has done:
