Be Yourself Kid's Encouragement Card featuring Rubbernecker and Technique Junkies stamps

I'm back today with a unique envelope card in one of my fav color combos. It's a kid's/children's encouragement Card featuring Rubbernecker and Technique Junkies stamps.

The cute girl is a stamp by Rubbernecker. The image is stamped on Copic X-Press It Blending Card and colored with Copics. The sentiments are both from Technique Junkies.

The cardstock is from my stash and the bling is from Recollections. I hope you enjoyed this quick post. Thanks for your kind comments and for sharing this post.

A Best Friend... Rubbernecker and Impression Obsession Stamps

Do you make friendship cards? How do you successfully use up patterned paper you don't like? Well, I have found that making cards for friends is so enjoyable.  It's been a way to express the sassy, funny side of crafting - a real way for my personality to come in. These corresponding stamps by Rubbernecker really fit the bill. And, I was able to use paper I didn't prefer by using a distressed Impression Obsession background stamp on top. My favorite technique these days is coloring with Copic Markers.

A  seemingly innocent image becomes sinister once the sentiment is expressed. I love it! 

Supplies:

• Recollections 110 lb white cardstock 
• Stampin' Up! patterned cardstock
• Copic X-press It Blending Card
• Rubbernecker - sentiment ( a best friend) and main image (best friend)
• Impression Obsession - sunburst background stamp
• Stash - enamel dots
• Copic Markers
• Memento - Tuxedo Black ink
• Colorbox - chalk ink

A  seemingly innocent image becomes sinister once the sentiment is expressed. I love it! 

Thanks for stopping by!

On to today's project ....

Last month at Scrapbook Expo I was shopping for African and African-American stamps at one of my fav booths - Rubbernecker Stamps, and came across this cute friends stamp. All I saw were two girls waiting to be colored and it made me think of my daughter and her girlfriends. At the register, the owner let me know there was a matching sentiment. I LOVE great customer service. Lo and behold after reading it (and belly laughing for a min) I then noticed the looks on the girls faces and the baseball bat!! Everyone needs a friend like this... I know I have 'em... don't you?

LOL!!! LOL!!! I'd love to know what you think...

I stamped the image in Perfect Little Black Dress Hybrid ink by Clear and Simple Stamps. It's perfect for coloring with Alcohol markers. Then I colored with Copics - E09, E33, E37, B02, 100, Y06, Y26, YR07, RV09.

CKC Lancaster Haul! Post 2

Here's my 2nd post debuting my haul from CKC Lancaster.  My next stop was Dollar Scrapbooking. They had the cutest fabric brads, crochet flowers, stickers, polka dotted felt and my fav find - Luminarte Radiant Rain Color Concentrate. It's a dauber of twinkling H2O's. I got several colors.

At Heartfelt Creations I found these unmounted stamp storage sheets. They are ridgid and can hold the weight of my unmounted stamp collection. I had a coupon for a free stamp so I chose the one they used for the project they taught at the crop.

This is my favorite company for African and African-American stamps. Rubbernecker has @ 25 stamps with images of color. I have bought several before but here are my new ones!! I also got the 3-pk summer colors of Distress Ink at their booth.

Creek Bank Creations had some really cool items that my crafty friend who attended the convention with me introduced me to. I always have way too many great pics to add to a layout. They have photo fold out books in several sizes that allow you to add a mini book on a scrapbook page. They close with magnets!! I fell in love at first sight. The mini rulers and thread spools from maya road were too cute to leave behind! And I am finally going to try action wobbles so I can get caught wobblin and receive a prize from the action wobble blog!

I have a lot of plans for this colored sand called mud puddles. I bought a brown and a blue colored container with the spatula for spreading it onto my projects. Can't wait to share the projects I make with these cool tools! 

If you have used any of these items, please give me your thoughts and advice in the comments sections of this post. Thanks in advance!
