Holiday ATC's - RubberMoon & Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko Product Swap

IMAGINE Crafts and RubberMoon Art Stamps are excited to share with you the amazing projects that our design teams have created to kick off the Holiday Season! Over the next few days, we'll be sharing with you inspiration and techniques using IMAGINE Crafts' line of ink products featuring rubber stamps from RubberMoon. Be sure to visit the IMAGINE Crafts and RubberMoon blogs daily for more projects and ideas!

Hello friends, this is Carmen, and I'm sharing with you today some ATC cards with a Holiday theme. I started off with some cards from Inchies Arts squares, they are so easy to work with and take all kinds of mediums.

I painted a layer of acrylic paint first then used a texture sheet from Gina's Designs as a stencil with Imagine Crafts Fireworks spray in Summer sky. It's a very soft look.

The Peace on Earth stamp was used with the Delicata pigment ink pad in Silvery Shimmer.

I cut part of the texture sheet and embossed it with black powder using the Versamark embossing pad

The embossed texture sheet was adhered with some Creative Gel Medium.

A final spritz of Shimmer spray in Frost and it's done.

The second card I started with a layer of acrylic paint and adhered some book page strips for a more vintage look.

I gave it some more color by adding StazOn midi pad in Emerald City with Ink Blushers sponges.

I had a couple of pieces of wood embellishments and enhanced them with some Fireworks spray in Lady bug.

For this card I used the lovely Ornaments Border stamp with Delicata in Gold.

I painted in the ornaments with the Fireworks in Lady Bug.

And the finished card...

I made one last one completely different from the Holiday theme. This steampunk card of gears is made with the Gears stamp, irRESIStible texture sprays, and texture sheet in gears.

I love how all of them came out, each one of them unique, colorful and full of texture. All of these products worked great together. The only problem I had was trying to decide which ones to use! Which I guess is a good problem.

Thanks so much for visiting with us today! Please browse around and check out the other great projects by our team.

Happy Holidays!

Magical Moonlight

Magical Moonlight 2014

I am just back from Stampaway and one thought that went around in my head was that I need to make use of my older supplies and somehow make them new again. I went around my studio choosing RubberMoon stamps and then saw this wonderful Inchie Arts black ATC size mat board rectangle just begging to be used. Then my mind skipped to the drawer full of Tsukeneko Opalite pads. A primer for those who don't know......They are interference pads (that show on dark surfaces) and are still in existence. I got a few out and surveyed my stamps for the project. Clearly I was going to do a night scene. That's all I knew as I began.

Masking is a great technique to use on your surface or even on a stamp as you'll see below. I began by masking the outside perimeter with low tack painter's tape because I already decided a border would be fun. I then stamped the star spiral using the silver frost Opalite pad. I knew I wanted a series of "mod" flowers near the bottom. But I only wanted to use part of the stamp, so I partially inked the catch a falling star stamp, and then taped the areas where I had overinked and didn't want it.

I also used Opalite colors Glacier Blue, Golden Mist, and Crystal Blush to stamp star spiral and spiraling to represent the flowers themselves along with the masked "catch a falling star stamp".

I used my favorite gel pen to add gold stems/leaves to the flowers and detail in other places. Once a phrase was chosen, I applied the same masking concept to the phrase I wanted to use. It wouldn't fit spatially so I had to break it up.
