January Card Class

First Classes Of 2019! This first set of classes will include a candy box/card as well as two masculine cards - 1-Fishing related and 1-Outdoors.  We will also use the envelope maker tool to make a square envelope for the fishing card.   Students will need a good paper trimmer as well as a score board for making the candy box card.  Using a ruler and pencil for cutting won't work for this class. It's been a while since I've been able to have classes and I'm really looking forward to seeing everyone again! Cost:  $23 Supplies: Paper cutter Score board Tape Glossy Accents  Pop dots Dates: Wednesday, January 16 - 1 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.  Thursday, January 17 - 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. To save a spot.... You can call or text the store at 250-830-8740 or Message the store on facebook or Email to rubberroomstamps@gmail.com Have a great day! Sheree

3D Embossing Folders & Mirror Paper Have you tried putting mirror paper through your die cutting machine using those gorgeous 3D embossing folders?  Did your beautiful paper have cracks from the extreme highs and lows? Tip of the day.... Mist the back of your cardstock and wait 15 seconds and then put it through your Big Shot or die cutting machine!  Works like a charm!! Have a wonderful day crafting! Sheree

We have a large sampler pack in stock right now and have some  singles of the metallic and pearl paints in the 2.25 oz size coming on the next order.  These paints can be applied to metal, wood, fabric, leather and more!  On fabric these paints stay subtle and wash well.  I can hardly wait to play with these paints... the possibilities are endless! See you soon! Sheree p.s.  I've been playing with some outdoors papers today and will be posting them after the next set of classes!

New For 2019

  It's New Year's Eve and am looking forward to new goodies arriving in January and February! One item that I can hardly wait for is the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil machine, and another for those with the Gemini electric die cutting machine, the Gemini Foil Press! These machines will take crafting and card making to a whole new level.  You will be able to use some of your thinlet dies you already own and there's also a whole new selection of stamp / die and stamp combos put out by Spellbinders and Crafter's Companion.  I have the Glimmer systems on order and can bring in the Gemini systems as well by special order. Please note that the Spellbinders Glimmer will work in the Big Shot, Spellbinders Grand Caliber and many other name brands except for the Cuttlebug.  The Gemini states it would probably work with other name brands except for the Cuttlebug.  And now the question is... which one do you choose?  -The Spellbinders Glimmer ...

BoBunny Bella Rosa Winter Layout

Good Afternoon! I completed this layout this afternoon and am very happy with how it turned out!  Please excuse my photography skills as there's so much texture and 3d aspects that don't show well. When the BoBunny Bella Rosa papers arrived last week my eye gravitated to the one showing old wood gates.  I immediately thought of my mother's photo from 1943 and how this would frame it perfectly!  I started off by sponging on Prima Alchemy paint in Gold Rush to highlight the middle of the paper.  I received some really neat Colorbox stencils last week and the one called 'swirl dot' reminded me of the winter winds whipping around.  I used texture paste here and there around the gold focal point.  The berries on the branches were accented with glossy accents and I used a snowflake stencil with Inka Gold as well. The old jalopy was painted with Viva Decor 3D paints in rust and dark brown.  They have such a nice sandy, rusty look to them!...
