Coming To Fruition!

Well....  This past week I submitted my application for a business licence!   My signs for the front of the building will be done this week as well.  I can hardly wait for i all to take shape!

The store name will be   The Rubber Room Stamps.  I have been searching the net for items I would like to carry but once I have access to the wholesale section of each site I will know what my budget can buy!

I have been working on Christmas cards using different styles. 

The Distressed Christmas cards look fantastic!  Yes, I have been doing different versions of the Pointsettia Die from Tim Holtz.  The different colour combinations look wonderful together.  This year I have been colouring them to match the papers I am using.

Some of the cards are done using the hilarious Art Impressions stamps!  My collection of them has been growing and bringing them out again to do samples for the store has been fun!  There are some from the Girlfriends collection and other funny ones for Christmas! 

Then, there are the Memory Box Dies!   These dies are so much fun to work with.  The ornament dies look beautiful when mixed with mirror paper and then a frosty paper version to compliment!

My favourite Hero Arts and Stampendous Christmas stamps have been played with and I like what I am coming up with!  I will post photos of them once the shop is up and running!

Have a wonderful evening and I will post more updates this week!  :D

Hugz,

Gold and More Gold

Good Evening! Just a quick post tonight.   I had some leftover backgrounds done with Distress Oxide Sprays, splatters done with Jacquard Metallic Paint and Distress Picket Fence paint. Matting with gold really brought the gold out of the background.  I am the worst photographer on the planet and it's hard to make out the layered background! The stamps are from Stamperia and stamped with Versamark and Ranger Detail Gold embossing powder. Thanks for stopping by! Stay safe and stay healthy! Sheree

Voice Of The Sea

Hi there! With this Covid-19 virus, and isolation, I have been doing things around the house as well as having more time to play with paper and inks! This card is stamped with a set by Crafter's Companion 'Sea Shells' stamps and coloured with Copics and Spectrum Noir markers.  I love using both marker brands!  My favourite ink to use for colouring with alcohol and water based markers is the new Nuvo Hybrid. Once the colouring was finished the stamped image was accented with a Signo white pen, (in stock), Nuvo Crystal Drops for bubbles, (in stock) and finally with 'Dirty Sand' embossing powder, (in stock), from Emerald Creek out of Alberta.  All of their specialized embossing powders are must haves!   Thanks for checking in!  Stay safe and stay healthy!

Pretty In Pink

Are you stuck indoors, isolating because of Covid19?  Getting bored yet?  The first few days were driving me nuts because I'm not used to having time off!  For the past couple of days I have been posting projects on facebook and remembered... hey!  I should start blogging again! Today's post is using the gorgeous P13 papers !   They are a heavyweight paper with beautiful watercolour images.  These papers make you want to fussy cut everything!  Everyone that has purchased some of this line has come back for more.  Love, love, Love Today's card has a background using Distress Oxide Sprays in Spun Sugar and Tattered Rose.  It still needed something so I added Antique Linen here and there.  To add some interest I used a fine liner brush and Jaquard Lumiere paint in Metallic Gold to add some lines like marble.  It still needed something more so did some splatter with Distress Picket Fence paint and once again with Jacquard Metallic Gold.  Another new project I used was
