IB4S "Christmas Collage" ~ Merry Blackbird" Card

Tweet

Hello All!

This is my second post for the day so when you are finished checking out this card, please scroll down to see what else I have been up to. :)

Della, from I Brake For Stamps, sent me an extra sheet of rubber to play with besides the ones I got to pick out this month. I am sooooo glad she did!

You all know that I do lots of cutsie cutsie stuff but I mixed it up a bit on this card.

The stamps set is IB4S "Christmas Collage" rubber sheet and it is amazing!

If you would like to buy this set or any other stamps from I Brake For Stamps, please remember to use the coupon code SAVE10TRUE to get a 10% off discount on your entire order!

For this card, I used The Paper Studio's "Wrinkled Red Leather" and I distressed it with Staz-On Jet Black ink. The "Solid Pearl Gold" paper is also by The Paper Studio. The cardstocks are Bazzill.

That beautiful ribbon is Really Reasonable Ribbon's ~ Gold Swirls and their Totally Twill Moss Green.

The other elements I used are: dew drops from The Robin's Nest, a gold marker, watercolors, and Scor-Tape.

My Post-it Note Pad Cover for the Really Reasonable Ribbon/Scor-Pal Challenege!

Tweet

Hi Everyone!

Hope you all survived all of the ghosties and goblins that were on the loose last night!

 Really Reasonable Ribbon's Ramblings newest challenge is being co-sponsored by Scor-Pal so I hope you will join in on the fun and a chance to win some nice prizes form Really Reasonable Ribbon or Scor-Pal. The Challenge is to do a winter project and use blues, silver and whites...with ribbon or trim.

I did a little Post-it note pad cover and pen set.

 The beautiful ribbon I chose to play with is White Satin Diamonds from this month's Ribbon of the Month Club over @ Really Reasonable Ribbon.. It is drop dead gorgeous!

If you are not a Ribbon of The Month Club member, you should seriously think about joining. You get 10-15 yards of beautiful assorted ribbon for just $9.00 (including shipping) every month!

I used the "Snow Tweet" clear stamp set that I illustrated for Clear Dollar Stamps.

It is so fun and easy to color. You can just change the color of his hat and scarf to match and designer paper or cardstock! I used The Paper Temptress's ~ Heavenly White, Silver Sizzle Glossy, and Lapis Lazuli. 

I used Scor-Tape (now available at Really Reasonable Ribbon) to make the pad holder and attach all of the elements. I have started using it under all of my ribbons and they always stay right where I put them! Love love love the stuff!

I almost forgot to mention how nice it is using my Scor-Pal when doing multiple scores on these little pad covers! ;)

Thanks for dropping by!

If you have a few minutes to spare, you really should head on over to our blog and see what inspiration the other girls have whipped up for you.

It would be AWESOME if you played along in our challenge too!  ;)
You can get all of the details HERE.

Hugs,

True :D
