Good morning! 
I just know you have been holding your breath waiting for my big surprise! Well you can exhale now, cause I’m about to tell you. Actually there have been little clues dropped the last couple of days. You just needed to look closely!
It’s been a year in the making. Last June, Jeanne, Kittie and I sat around Kittie’s pool talking about her stamping style. It was before Kittie’s stint with design teams and even before the Dirty Dozen. To be exact – it was a year ago to the very week. We brain stormed the idea of Kittie making little kits with images and tools to help others learn her techniques to create the scenes she is so famous for.
I am so happy to announce that the day has finally arrived – INTRODUCING (a little drum roll please)
Kittie Kits by Kittie Caracciolo – CAUSE A SCENE exclusively from Rubbernecker Stamp Company
Kittie has designed two Master Kits, one for Landscape Scenes, Master #1
and one for Beach Scenes, Master #2
Along with these two Master Kits, Kittie has also handpicked her favorite Rubbernecker images to be incorporated into accessory kits to accompany the Masters. The images have been resized and reworked for the exclusive kits.
The ones below accompany the Landscape Master #1
and then these accompany the Beach Master #2.
If you paid close attention over the last few days, you would have seen that Kittie has been uploading cards made with the images, dropping hints along the way about the new images.
It was my pleasure to make a sample with the Landscape Master #1 and the accessory set with the cabin.
I started the image by painting water on the top half of the watercolor paper, and applying a wash of Broken China Distress Ink. Once that dried, I painted the bottom half of the watercolor paper with water and applied a light wash of Shabby Shutters. Once that dried, I stamped the trees, masked them and stamped the cabin. Leaving the mask on the cabin, I stamped a few evergreen trees in the background. The cabin and tree trunks were water colored and the grass was given another layer of green. While the grass was still wet, I stamped the grass sprigs on the grass and let them run to add some dimension to the ground. The leaves were stamped with various images from the Kit, and then the flowers were added. To finish the card, I used Soft Sky which I sponged the edges with Weathered Wood and Old Olive.

I just wanted to cry for some reason when I read your article.I am so thrilled to know you, girlie! It has taken me three hours this morning to do my blog article since I am no dial up and in hell.
I forgot to tell you how much I love your scene.
Sherry, gorgeous card, and what fab news! How amazing that we can all do Kittie cards now…because I sure couldn’t before! What a fabulous idea to translate to stamps! Love it…I think these will be must haves! Congrats to Kittie!

Sherry this is brilliant – I just was on Kittie’s blog and saw the news and I already bought a master and garden scene!! I remember Kittie asking us out here in blogland if we would be interested in anything like this – well duh! – YES! You and Jeanne should be commended for this as well as Kittie!!! You girls rock! Bug hugs, Harriet
Now…..my first reaction was to be surprised…then immediately, I thought “AHA!! Of course!! How PERFECT is this?!!” (great card btw….but the news is better BWHAHAAAA!! luv ya! smiles!)
What a cool idea! I love the name–Cause a Scene–how clever! I especially love the garden scenes, of course, and the cabins and moose. Oh, dear! So many choices. Your card is great! Love it!
I sorta caught on to Kittie’s clues in her blog but wasn’t quite sure. Then saw late last night that Kittie Kits were on Rubbernecker’s side bar. Got the Master Set 1 and 2 ordered now and can’t wait for them to get here! Way to go. You gals celebrate and have some fun ya hear! LOL
What a wonderful idea. I look forward to enjoying many cards made with these great kits.

GET OUT!!!!! This is FABULOUS! Oh Kittie congrats! I love your scene, Sherrie!
Awesome Card!! Cool Stamps…………………………Love em!!!!
Congrat’s to Kitty and her new venture of “Kitty Kits”, via RubberNecker !!! I think it’s absolutely brilliant, especially how it’s been co-ordinated with Kitty’s Accessory Kits 🙂
You ladies certainly have your finger on all the current elements that we “Rubber & Ink Addicts” need and must have. I’m pleased that you got together last year around Kittie’s pool and brain stormed this wonderful idea. Do you think it was a mixture of the sun and water, or perhaps it was the company present and the sun, or just maybe it was the mixture of sun, water, estrogen, and some alcohol? heheheheee Whatever it was that initiated this exceptional concept, please ensure you do it again 😉
**~~Congratulations~~**
HOORAYYYYYYYYYYY for Kittie!!!!! Awesome news!! I know these wil be very successful!!! 😀 Congrats!!!!!!

How cool and you made it look so easy, even though I know alot of work still went into it!
