Loves Rubberstamps Challenge – Anything Goes


Hello Blogging Friends,

First, I want to wish everyone a Happy New Years and I hope that your New Year is filled with much success and that all your wishes and desires come true.  I have some more fun news for you today!  For the month of December, I was a guest designer for Loves Rubberstamps.  Laura, the owner, asked me to join the team and I have gladly accepted!  You should stop by the store and see all the gorgeous stamps, papers and embellishments she carries.

So this is my first official post as a member of the Loves Rubberstamps Design Team!  The challenge for this week is Anything Goes!  These are always a lot of fun.  We are also sponsored by The Cutting Cafe this week.

I colored up the Heidi image by Wee Stamps on cryogen paper with my copics.  The background papers are all My Mind’s Eye, Lost and Found .  Since Heidi is all bundled up, I decided to shake up the image a bit and make it a shaker card.  This is actually very simple to do.  I used the Spellbinders Labels 18 dies and cut out a border.  I then cut another die cut using the large label die out of clear envelope packaging.  I glued the clear die cut to the border and set it aside to dry.  After I colored the image, I used 3M double sided tape and put it around the edges of the image which I also cut out with the large Spellbinders Labels 18 die.  After putting the 3M tape around the image, I decided it needed a little more height, so I added another layer of double sided tape.  (Be sure to seal the image completely with the tape or the flakes will fall out. After I added the double sided tape, I added the snow.)  Then I removed the backing of the double sided tape and put the border with the clear packaging tape over the image.  Whala! You have a shaker card with snow around the image!





Copics used:
Hair:  E29, E35, E39
Skin:  E000, E00, E11, E13
Jacket:  E51, E53, E55, R24, R27, R89

Boots/Muff:  E51, E53, E55
Bow:  R24, R27, R89, W3, W5, W7, W10

I just simply cut out this pretty image from the My Minds Eye Lost & Found paper stack.  It matched perfectly.
