Ink on Rubber

Our granddaughter spent an afternoon with me in my stamping about a month ago, and she wanted to try this technique - among other things. So, I found this Rubber Stampede wood-mounted rubber stamp and used markers directly on it and spritzed with water. The sentiments are both from My Favorite Things.

Simple Thanks

Gosh, I had SO many cards made earlier and had blog posts for over a month scheduled. They are all done already!  I just haven't had time to play in my stamping room much at all. Here is a very simple thank you card that I made a couple days ago. I was sorting through my dies a little bit and came across this little die/embossing plate from Stampin' Up! I'm not even sure where I got it. But, I cut it out about four times and layered them, then dragged a blue ink pad across it to highlight the embossing. I found some patterned paper that worked and matted it. Done!

We got back a couple weeks ago from a river boat trip in The Netherlands and Belgium. It was supposed to be on the Rhine and mostly in Germany, but low water levels forced that trip to be canceled. It was a great trip, though, and we traveled with ten other friends. I still hope to do the Rhine River trip some time soon.

September Calendar Page

And it's already time for the September calendar - can you believe it??? I'm not sure that I can. The background stencil is from Gina K, as are the leaf stamps. I embossed them in silver. I didn't make a note of it, but I'm pretty sure that the sentiment stamp is from Gina K, also.
