I DID A LIVE!

It has been a very long time since I did a FaceBook Live sharing a card/creative inspiration.  BUT I am back!  Well, sort of.  I did my Live sideways today, but figured out how to download, switch the orientation and upload it to my YouTube Channel, where you can view it.  Just use this link.

In this video I share a fun Iridescent Bag Shake Card, that is adorable!  I have four kits available, and they could be yours.  You can pay $10 for the Kit delivered to your door, or you can place a minimum $50 order on my website at RubberRoom.Stampinup.net

If you want to send me $10, please Venmo it to Chris Kolly
OR PayPal it to ckolly@stampingismybusiness.com

THESE CARDS ARE SO CUTE!


Aren't these cards too cute!  I love them both.  AND they are super quick and easy to make.

These were two cards we made during the Rubber Room September Holiday Stamp-a-Stack. For these cards we kept it simple by using the Christmas Greetings Mix & Match Specialty Cards with matching envelopes. The cards and envelopes are a great deal at only $12.00 for ten card bases with coordinating envelopes. There are five Crumb Cake cards and envelopes and five Garden Green cards and envelopes.
The rest of the card is made with the North Pole Delivery 12" x 12" Designer Series Paper and the Jolly Delivery Stamp Set. The DSP and stamp set are a part of the North Pole Delivery Suite Collection. The suite collection (in addition to these two items) includes a coordinating die set that has an envelope die that is adorable, as well as some accessories that are adhesive-backed and called Dear Dots and some of the fluffiest ribbon ever, called White 3/8" Fluffy Trim. This suite is so cute!!
When you take advantage of the current Starter Kit sale, you can add the entire North Pole Delivery Suite Collection to your Starter Kit for FREE!
The Rubber Room October Holiday Stamp-a-Stack happens on October 28th, 2025. You can visit my blog calendar here https://rubberroomramblings-calendar.blogspot.com/ for all class details.
If you are interested in grabbing a Starter Kit and getting $90 in product FREE, please message me or visit my website at https://rubberroom.stampinup.net

WORLD CARD MAKING DAY ALTERNATIVE FUN!

During World Card Making Day I hosted an event in the Rubber Room, and we had so much fun.  I designed alternative cards that were adorable (even if I do say so myself--and I do).

Stampin' Up! used the Handmade and Heartfelt Kit for their virtual event, and this is one of  the cards they made.



I saw all these little circles, I knew this adorable little gingerbread guy would fit perfectly inside them.  Here is the card I came up with using the Homemade Treats Bundle and the 1" Circle Punch.

THE RUBBER ROOM MONTHLY CARD CLASS DETAILS ARE HERE!

Good morning, Rubber Room Stamping Friends. It's time to share the October RR monthly class. I am really excited about this one, because this is one of my favorite new bundles. I resisted it for a while, but broke down and had to treat myself. Now, I get to treat you too.
October 23rd, 2025 is the RR Monthly Card class, and this month we will be focusing on the Beautiful Pumpkin Bundle. In class you will make four cards that are timely for the end of Fall and for Thanksgiving, and they will definitely put a smile on the recipients' faces.
If you would like to "boost" your class and make 8 cards (2 each of all 4 designs), you can stamp and assemble your first cards during class, and stamp and prep your second cards, assembling them at home at your leisure. Cost for a "boosted class" is $23.

The class fee is payable with your RSVP.

Please RSVP by October 13th, 2025 before midnight via email: Ckolly@stampingismybusiness.com

HANDMADE AND HEARTFELT ALTERNATIVE!

The Handmade and Heartfelt Kit was so much fun to make cards and a great desk organizer with.  I am an organizer junkie, so this was a must-have kit for me.  AND just for fun, I decided to offer some kit card alternatives to "spice up" WCMD.  Here is my favorite alternative card.
This is my favorite card because I love this suite of products so much!  The entire suite is only $88, which means you can easily add it to your Starter Kit during October for FREE.  Need to know how, just email me:  ckolly@stampingismybusiness.com and I will show you how.

BEFORE THE RUBBER ROOM WORLD CARD MAKING DAY EVENT!

I love hosting Rubber Room events and sharing crafting time with my friends!  Yesterday was World Card Making Day, and it was so much fun to share it in the Rubber Room.  Here is a quick video of the "before the event" studio.

My next big event will be November 15th, 2025 from 1-5.  It's going to be a fun crafternoon called That's a Wrap.  We'll be making boxes, bags and tags for all of those great holiday gifts that will need a gorgeous presentation.

In the meantime, throughout October I will have my usual classes, and I hope you can join me.  Use the "Class Schedule" tab at the top of this page to get full details for everything happening in the Rubber Room.
