CELEBRATORY SIPS SWAP CARD!

Recently I participated in a Rubber Room Rambler team swap. I love all the creative ideas shared when swapping, and was excited to share my card.

I used products from the Celebratory Sips Suite. The drinks were stamped, then I covered them with postal tape to make them shiny like a glass. Then I die cut the glass with the coordinating dies and used the Glass and Gardens Embossing Folder to add even more texture to the glasses. The Celebratory Sips 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper added lots of color. I also shared this really fun fold, which is one of my favorites.

FUN CHARMING DAY CLASS CARDS!

One of my favorite ways to treat myself is to take a class from another demonstrator, and before I left for vacation I got to do a class offered by Tracey Gillies. Tracey is part of our Rubber Room Rambler team, and I love her creations.

These are the five cards she designed and offered as her Charming Day Class.

We used the Charming Day Bundle, some Designer Series Paper from the Floral Charm Suite Collection and some Charming Shimmer Faceted Gems, as well as a little Gold Striped 3/8" ribbon.

RUBBER ROOM AUGUST CLASS!

The RR August class will be a Halloween class. I believe that by the time September rolls around, some of the Halloween items may be unavailable, so I am going to go ahead and do Halloween in August.

This is a great opportunity for those of you who "don't do Halloween" to make a few cards for neighbors, grand kids, etc... AND to make a few treats too.

As always, the RR monthly class can be customized to fit your needs. You pick whether you attend the class from 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. or from 6:00-8:00 p.m. You can also pick a regular class or a "boosted class".

During class we will be using the Spooky Halloween Suite and Fright Night Bundle to make three cards. You will also make one treat box from the Sweet and Spooky Kit. If you would like to "boost" your class and make 6 cards (2 each of all 3 designs) and 2 treat boxes, you can stamp and assemble your first cards and boxes during class, and stamp and prep your second cards and boxes, assembling them at home at your leisure. Cost for a "boosted class" is $23.

The class fee is payable with your RSVP.

ADVENTURE AWAITS!

This is another card I designer using the RRR Mystery Card Mania Zoom dimensions.

There was no stamping at all with this card, or die cutting. I simply used the Adventure Awaits DSP and Sticker Sheet.

This card pattern is a great way to use up some of that Designer Series Paper, Sticker Sheets and/or Ephemera Packs that we are hoarding.

QUICK AND EASY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Here is one more card made during our July RRR Mystery Card Mania Zoom.

This card uses some Turtle-y Cute Designer Series Paper, the Layered Thoughts Stamp Set, some of the punch outs from the Wildflower Birthday 12" x 12" Specialty Designer Series Paper, and some Party Dots.

THE LAST INTERLOCKING CARD!

This is the fourth Interlocking Panel Card we made during our Fun Fold Frenzy Class.  

I love the Turtle-y Cute Suite, and this made the perfect Father's Day card, especially considering we did a Father's Day barbeque! 

For this card, we did a little twist on the pattern, and switched the orientation from vertical to horizontal.

AUGUST IS ALMOST HERE!

FLORAL WASHI TAPE IS GORGEOUS!

Remember the Interlocking Panel Card from the RR Fun Fold Frenzy Class that I shared a few days ago? Here is another card we made in the class.

For this card we added a little twist by using the Everyday Arches Dies for the panel on the right. We also used the amazing new Extraordinary Floral Washi Tape. It pairs so nicely with the Thoughtful Journey 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper. This DSP is on the Last Chance List, so be sure to grab yours before it disappears.

KINTSUGI INTERLOCKING PANEL CARD!

Here is another one of the Interlocking Panel Cards we made at the Fun Fold Frenzy Class. 

For this card, instead of centering our interlocking panels (like on the Celebratory Sips Card), we placed one towards the top left corner and one towards the bottom right corner. This added a fun little 'twist' on our fun fold pattern. For this card we used the Kintsugi Inspirations Suite.

NEW GALLERY BLOOMS STAMP SET!

Here is a quick and easy card I recently made for our Rubber Room Rambler team swap. I used the new Strawberry Slush In Color to create this monochromatic card. The Gallery Blooms Stamp Set, Beautiful Motifs Dies and Damask Designs Embossing Folder are all part of the Beautiful Gallery Suite Collection, which is absolutely beautiful. The Strawberry Slush and Pretty in Pink Gems are part of the Floral Impressions Suite, which is a gorgeous suite!

CELBRATORY SIPS MYSTERY CARD!

Last week I hosted our July Rubber Room Rambler Mystery Card Mania Zoom.  We used this fun pattern, which can double as a gift card holder.

This card uses the Celebratory Sips 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper, the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls, the Glass and Garden Embossing Folder and some White 1/4" Ribbon.

This is one of my favorite suites in the new catalog. I featured this stamp set for our July Rubber Room class. I will be sharing those cards with you later this week, so stay tuned!

CELEBRATORY SIPS SUITE!

I had a great time making this Interlocking Panel Card fold. This was the pattern I used for four cards I made during a fun fold class.

This card uses the new 2025-2027 In Colors, Timid Tiger, which is bright and cheery. I paired it with products from the Celebratory Sips Suite. I think this card is so bright cheery!

BOTANICAL TEXTURES BEAUTY!

This is a card I made for a monthly swap I do. It's such a cute little fun fold card.

For this card, I used parts of the Botanical Textures Suite. I used the Textured Notes Stamp Set, along with the Botanical Textures 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper. I also use the Neutral Matte Dots, and some White 1/4" Ribbon, that I colored it with my Black Stampin' Blends.

Big Rubber Hugs, Chris

GALLERY BLOOMS AND TIMID TIGER!

I love the new Gallery Blooms Stamp Set/Super Suite. For this card I paired it with the 2025-2027 In Color, Timid Tiger. I really like how fun these flowers are in orange. The Exposed Brick 3D Embossing Folder is one of my favorites, because I think it's a little vintage and pairs well with floral stamps.

This is such an adorable card and perfect for someone going through a tough time.

SUPER FUN NOTES AND TOTES CARD!

One of my favorite "self care" things to do is to treat myself to a stamping class or event. Recently I took a class from one of the demonstrators in our RRR group, and I LOVED it. Here is one of the cards we made. For this card Tricia Campau Schaden used the Notes and Totes stamp set and dies. The color combination is showcasing some of our new In Colors (Cloud Cover and Secret Sea). We even stamped the inside too.

As I have been up north vacationing this past week and a half, this card will be the perfect "thank you" note to tuck a gift card inside and send to my amazing hosts.

WOOD BURNING TECHNIQUE!

I am always looking for a fun new technique, and this one was lots of fun. It's called the wood burning technique or the faux wood technique. I shared it at our July team meeting, and we all had fun making it our own.

For this first card I inked the debossed side of the cardstock.

For the second card I inked the debossed scored line and embossed sunflower image side of the cardstock.

For both cards I used Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Early Espresso and Coastal Cabana ink.
