Retro Rubber Challenge Blog Challenge #78 - White Out

Happy New Year!

I am so happy to be back with Retro Rubber Challenge Blog Team!  I hope that you all are ready to get creative again for the new year.  Dust those stamps off that you haven't used in a while or have never used and join the challenges!  The challenge is "White Out", your card should be mainly white with an accent of one of the colors on the inspirational photo below.

Today I am sharing a "Happy New Year" card.  The sentiment I am using is from a Hero Arts Stamp and Cut stamp set called Merry.  I believe this set was released sometime in October 2016.

Here is my card, I started out by die cutting the background with the Hero Arts background Party Confetti Fancy Die.  I used some gold glitter paper on the back of the die cut.  I cut the champagne glasses with my silhouette, I then stamped my sentiment with versamark and used some gold embossing powder.

Are you ready to play along?  The rules to play along with Retro Rubber are very simple, make sure the stamp you use on your project is at least one year or older.   For more details on the rules, you can find them over on Retro Rubber Challenge blog.  Be sure to stop over on the Retro Rubber Challenge blog to get more inspiration, the design team has some wonderful creations!

Thank you for stopping by, you have until January 26 to join the fun!

A Blog Named Hero - Merry Christmas

Hello everyone,

I am here with A Blog Named Hero and we have been collaborating all Month with Neat & Tangled.  The challenge this month is to "copy a designer".   I was inspired by my Design Team buddy Lisa Stein from her post on January 13, 2017.  I loved Lisa's card with the coffee cups.  If you want to see how she created her card, here is the link.

Here is my card:

On my card I used the Hero Arts Merry Stamp & Cut stamp set for the sentiment and the stars.   I stamped the stars with Hero Arts Inks Forever Green and Raspberry Jam.  The coffee mugs are from the stamp set from Neat & Tangled "Perfect Blend".  The sequins are Hero Arts Ombre Sequins Blush and the green ones are from Neat and Tangled.  I loved creating this card.....thank you Lisa for the inspiration.  The coffee mugs I used copics to color.  The green is Y03, 17 and 67, the red is R24, 29 and 59.

I hope you get a chance to play along with this month’s challenge! All you need to do is use at least one Hero Arts product on your project and follow this month’s theme, ‘Copy A Designer’. Link up your card for a chance to win a great prize from Neat & Tangled! Can’t wait to see what you create!!
