REASON FOR THE SEASON!

Here is another sneak peek from the Holiday Catalog.  For this card I used the new Boughs and Berries Embossing Folder (my new favorite embossing folder), the Reason for the Season stamp set and the Christmas Greeting Thinlits Dies.  I made the "peace" with the sparkling diamonds paper, and it is so beautiful in real life!

You can order from the Holiday Catalog beginning September 1st.  Need Holiday Catalog goodies before  then, consider becoming a Rubber Room Rambler and enjoy the perk of pre ordering!  Your Starter Kit can be products from the Holiday Catalog!!

SNEAK PEEK TIME!

I love flowers, and I believe they are like black shoes~~there is no such thing as too many!  This will be one of my favorites from the new catalog.  If you don't have your new catalog yet, contact me, and I will get one to you!

HOW ABOUT SOME SNEAK PEEKS?

As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator you get to enjoy lots of perks, but one of my favorites is the sneak peek you get at all the new products before they are available to our customers.  Sneak Peek day was earlier this week, and here is a little Sneak Peek for you.

These are the new In Colors!  I think they are very yummy looking, AND they have very "yummy" names too.

The 2015-2017 In Colors are:

  Mint Macaron

Tip Top Taupe

 Watermelon Wonder

 Cucumber Crush

 and Delightful Dijon!

Which one will be your favorite?

LOVE IS KINDNESS SNEAK PEEK!

I have been doing a little "rubber sitting" in the Rubber Room. My demo friend and down line, Janet, has been out of town and needed someplace safe and warm to leave her pre-ordered Occasion and SAB items. Being the kind and generous friend I am, I eagerly volunteered to help her out.  I am happy to say her stamps have been very well behaved and have also been receiving their share of ink and card stock (and, of course, accessories).

Here are two cards I made using the Love is Kindness stamp set from the Occasions Catalog, which you can order from beginning January 6, 2015. I used my Blendabilities to color this image, and it turned out so beautiful.

Which one of these layouts do you like best?  The angled image or the centered image?  There is a contact going on over on my Face Book Rubber Room Stamping Friends Group Page.  Join the FB group and have some fun with us.  Cast your vote HERE, and you could be the big winner!

HOLIDAY STAMP-A-STACK SNEAK PEEK!

This is one of the cards we will be making during the Rubber Room Holiday Stamp-A-Stack on September 26th.

I love the vintage look of this card.  Still debating whether or not I should do a little distressing?  For the little bow at the top of the ornament, I used the 1 1/4" Burlap Ribbon (available in the Holiday Mini Catalog) and just cut the finished edge off and pulled one of the strands out, then tied it into a bow.  For the Very Vanilla background, I embossed it and then sponged some Crumb Cake ink on top of the embossed image.  I used the Enfrancais Background Stamp and the Ornament Keepsakes Stamp Set with coordinating Framelits. The base of the card is Soft Suede.

Ornament Keepsakes Wood-Mount Stamp Set 128048
Price: $34.95

Ornament Keepsakes Clear-Mount Stamp Set 128051
Price: $25.95

IMPORTANT DECISION TO MAKE!

I am going to a Mini Convention next week, and I have joined a shoebox swap the first evening of the convention.  I am trying to decide which card to use for my shoebox swap.  Below are the two cards I am deciding between (these are also cards we will be making at the Rubber Room Holiday Stamp-A-Stack next week~so it may be a little sneak peek for some of you).

This first card is from the Calm Christmas stamp set in the Holiday Mini Catalog.



This second card is from the Joyful Christmas stamp set, also available in the Holiday Mini Catalog.

The picture is sort of dark, but the sentiment is embossed in gold and says "Peace On Earth). 



Please leave me a comment and let me know which one you think I should use for my shoebox swap.

OH WHALE!

Time for ordering from the Stampin' Up! Spring Mini Catalog is running out.  Thursday, May 23, 2013 is my
Spring Mini Stamp-A-Stack, and this is one of the cards we will be making.

This is always a very bitter-sweet time of year for me.  I hate saying goodbye to so many stamp sets and colors... but I get excited for all the new things.  I guess that old saying is true "I want my rubber and my ink".  This is one of my favorite color combinations (Razzleberry, Midnight Muse and More Mustard).  I am saying goodbye to More Mustard, and it is very difficult for me!  I am going to have to find another favorite color combination.  The Oh, Whale stamp set and Oh, Wave wheel are gone on May 31st, with the Spring Mini Catalog, as well as the Happy Whale Clearlits Die.

ORDER THESE ITEMS BEFORE THEY'RE GONE!

 

MOSAIC SNEAK PEEK!

ARTISAN LABEL PUNCH SNEAK PEEK!

This is a card Nancy shared with us at our demonstrator get together.  She uses a few Sneak Peek items from the new catalog for this awesome creation!

Nancy used the Label Love stamp set with the matching Artisan Label Punch, both in the new Stampin' Up! 2013-2014 Annual Catalog.  I think this is one of Stampin' Up's! best catalogs with lots of matching stamps and accessories; and the colors and techniques....  you definitely need to check this catalog out!!
