Rubbernecker Birthday Celebration Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to the Rubbernecker Blog Hop celebrating their 29th birthday with a new release and prizes!

Comment on each post in the blog hop for a chance to win the four sets shown below, worth over $60. One winner will be chosen on 2/6.

For the celebratory blog hop, I am sharing two mini-slimline, birthday-themed cards created with just-released Rubbernecker stamp sets. A full list of blog hop participants appears at the end of my post.

My first card features bright, die-cut balloons and a fun script sentiment.

I stamped the pattern image in the Happy Birthday #1 stamp set on to colored paper with coordinating inks for a tone-on-tone look.
I die-cut the stamped paper with the Balloons Die. I die-cut the strings from white cardstock and assembled the balloons.
I stamped the sentiment in the Birthday Vase set in VersaFine ink on a mini-slimline sized light-blue cardstock panel.

I created a mini-slimline frame by cutting patterned paper using the two largest dies in the Mini Slimline Nested with Stich set.
I attached the sentiment panel to a card base and adhered the frame.
After assembly everything, I embellished the card with circles cut from glitter cardstock using dies in the Lifeguard Tower and Fishing Boat die sets.

My second card showcases the fun-to-color Birthday Vase stamp set.

I created a mini-slimline frame by cutting patterned paper using the two largest dies in the Mini Slimline Nested with Stich set.
I stamped the sentiment in the Birthday Vase set in VersaFine ink on a mini-slimline sized white cardstock panel.
Using vellum as a mask, I applied Distress Oxide inks above and below the horizon line.
I attached the sentiment panel to a card base and adhered the frame.
I stamped the vase and flowers in Memento black ink on white cardstock, colored the image with Copic markers and colored pencils, and fussy-cut it.
I assembled the card, adding the flowers and vase with foam adhesive.
I embellished with Silver Mix Gems.

Rubbernecker Die-cut Snowmen Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a winter-themed, friendship card featuring Rubbernecker die-cut snowmen. Just because the holidays are over, it doesn’t mean that winter-themed craft dies and stamps have to be stored away with the decorations. Use them to brighten up someone’s day! Of course, you can use these same supplies to create a Christmas card with a red-and-green color scheme.

Create card background from patterned paper cut with the largest die in the Mini Slimline Nested with Stitch set, measuring 6 by 3 ½ inches.
Create a 6 by 3 inches rectangle from colored paper or cardstock. Cut with the Circles Stitch die in the center, using washi tape to secure the die to the paper. Trim ¼ inch from both sides (the larger original size provides more wiggle room).
Die-cut snowmen from various colors of paper and cardstock with the Winter Snowmen set and assemble.

•With white powder, heat-emboss the Snowmen with Presents sentiment on dark blue paper. Trim heat-embossed panel to a size slightly larger than the die-cut circles.
From the back of the paper rectangle with the die-cut circles, attach the sentiment to show in the center circle.
Create a 6 inch by 2 ½ inches strip from pink paper and attach to the back of the die-cut circle strip.
To highlight the circle frame, attach white cardstock strip measuring 6 by 2 3/4 inches to the back of the die-cut circle assembly. Adhere to card background ¼ inch from the left edge. The asymmetry creates visual interest.
Position the die-cut Winter Snowmen in the top and bottom circles and adhere. (Photo below shows the die-cut pieces before final assembly.)

Rubbernecker Mini Slimline Dies

Hello! Today I am sharing a CAS die-cut card to introduce the new mini slimline dies at Rubbernecker. You can see read more about the release here.

I die-cut the dogs using the Set of Dogs die set from a variety of cardstocks.
I die-cut the card background using the largest die in the Mini Slimline Nested with Stitch set from patterned paper in the Playful Pets collection.

I die-cut the frame using the second largest die in the Mini Slimline Nested with Stitch set with the MSLI Circles Stitch die.
After assembling the card, I added the sentiments cut from the Playful Pets patterned paper.

Rubbernecker Santa in a Boat

Ho ho ho! Today I am sharing a last-minute holiday card featuring several Rubbernecker die sets. I previously used the Santa die here and here. One of the first times we took our sons to see Santa was in Mystic, Connecticut, where Santa arrived by boat.

I stenciled embossing paste through the Large Falling Snow stencil on to blue cardstock for the background.
While the snow dried, I die-cut and assembled the Santa and Fishing Boat (cut from holiday colors).
I used the Lawn Fawn Waves to complete the scene, which I framed with the Deckle Frame.

Thanks for visiting. I do not plan to post any more cards until Christmas Day, so before you go, I want to mention that Scrapbook.com is currently offering 5% off your entire order with the code JINGLE (through Saturday, December 25 at midnight, MST).

Rubbernecker Santa in the Window

Hello! Today, I am sharing a Christmas card combining several Rubbernecker die sets and one of their stencils. I previously used the Santa die on this card.

I heat-embossed the Simple Sayings sentiment on to dark red cardstock.
I stenciled the card base with the Repeating Bricks stencil in dark red ink.
I die-cut the pieces for the window, Santa, the presents, and the tree, and ornaments (with a circle die in the Fishing Boat die set) and assembled them. (I actually made this card twice. The first time, I had no tree and I showed the card to my eldest son who asked, “Where’s the tree?”)
I added Santa, the tree, and the presents to a light-blue cardstock panel.
I attached the window with foam adhesive and added the assembly to the card base.
