4/23/09: EDITED TO ADD: The link on Shelly’s blog to me is wrong today . . . . here’s my correct blog entry: BLOG STROLL KITTIE KITS
EDITED TO ADD: The Blog Stroll is now closed. Thanks to all who h.ave participated, your responses have been overwhelming and made the stroll exciting for us. Once I have gathered all the info from the Red-Hot Mommas’ Blogs, I’ll be back to post the winners on the RN Blog.
Good morning and welcome to the very first Rubbernecker Blog Stroll! Today Rubbernecker Stamps releases their first new images (excluding Kittie Kits) in 10 years. There’s a big difference in the way the images are packaged now. The new releases are sets . . . yes you heard correctly, sets!
To celebrate this release, we invite you to Blog Stroll along with the Rubbernecker Red-Hot Mommas. The Stroll begins at the Rubbernecker Stamps Blog where you will find the guidelines on how to win one of the sets being revealed or even possibly the GRAND PRIZE. If you haven’t started at the Rubbernecker Blog, you should go there as soon as possible. That’s where you’ll find the first clue to begin your Stroll. I know you won’t want to miss a thing!
I’m using 427 Flower Silhouettes my card today and Oh Yeah I’m back to the grungy distressing vintage type of thing! I’m positive you’ve seen this set on other blogs today, but hopefully you’ll see another image, get a different take on using the stamp, and be inspired in a different way.
I started with the tag first, coloring the background with that Inky Thing I Do (hehe . . . Beate called it that one day and I just can’t get it out of my head). Once I had the desired background colors, French Script Background was stamped lightly in Vintage Photo. The silhouette was first stamped in Walnut Stain and then stamped again with Black Soot. I was going for the double stamping silhouette look, but I think I was a little far apart with my stamping. Yes, I have a stamp-a-majig, and no I don’t know where it is. The background paper was sanded and then sewn to the panels. The border was die cut, embossed and then sponged using the Spellbinders Grand 12” Classic Lace Borderabilities and the sentiment was cut with Spellbinders Deckle Edged Rectangles Nestabilities.
- Stamps: Rubbernecker New Releases Backgrounds – French Script Background SKU:448 and New Releases Florals – Flower Silhouettes SKU:427 from Rubbernecker Stamps
- Paper: Manila Shipping Tag; 7Gypsies Gypsy Market; and Prism Black and Spring Willow
- Ink: Ranger Archival Jet Black, and Spiced Marmalade, Peeled Paint, Vintage Photo, Black Soot and Walnut Stain Distress
- Accessories: Spellbinders Grand 12” Classic Lace Borderabilities and Deckle Edged Rectangle Nestabilities; Ranger Non-Stick Craft Mat and Mini Mister; Tonic Tim Holtz Scissors (for distressing); Tsukineko Sponge Dauber; Venture Foam Tape; May Arts Ribbon (available at Rubbernecker Stamps by the roll now; by the yard available April 21); Heat Tool; Button; Sanding Tools
The Blog Stroll ends with me! I hope you’ve visited all the other blogs, left comments, and have found all the phrase clues.
To win the set that I’ve used today, all you have to do is leave me a comment. The Blog Stroll will end at 12:00 Noon on Friday, April 10, and the individual winners and GRAND PRIZE Winner will be announced on the Rubbernecker Blog Friday afternoon!
I hope you enjoyed the stroll and thanks for coming to the BAD Side for awhile.

Love this vintage card. The colors are just beautiful and love how you used the stamps. Thanks for a chance.
Another stunner! Boy am I pooped from strolling. lol
Beautiful creation, AS ALWAYS, Miss Badness 🙂 Your “grungy distressing” certainly makes a statement…. *Gorgeous* 🙂 Wish I had a bit of your knack with that, as it would take me hours upon hours to try and re-create this background artwork 🙂
Wow! That lacy edge is gorgeous! All of these colors give such a warm, vintage feel to this beautiful card! I love the ribbon all heated and scrunched up. Thanks so much for the chance to win some stamps!
I love the vintage look of this card and the great new stamps. Thanks for the chance to win.
I am so glad that Rubberneckers did the blog stroll. I am so inspired by all of the creative work I have seen. I also got bow tutorials via utube–first time ever for me. I think blogging and searching for other utube tutorials on papercrafts will be new obsessions for me. Hopefully I will win something…after seeing all the beautiful, creative cards this evening, there are quite a few products I am going to “have” to buy–lol. Thanks for all your beautiful work!
gorgeous card!! love the tag!!
I think this is my favorite set of the new stamps. Love your work. I had a great time going from blog to blog.
This is a gorgeous card. Thanks so much for sharing your talent. I really have to have this stamp set.
Wow, what a wonderful, versatile set. This was a great stroll, met some wonderful new blogs and found some great new sets that I’d love to get my hands on!!
This has been so exciting and inspiring :o) What a wonderful idea to create a “stroll” for us…with tons of prizes, no less! I feel lucky to have had a chance to see all these fresh, new images. Thank you all and Best Wishes! ~Wendy

Getting confused…no new card yet!!! and word clue???
Sherry, this is the old post for the first stroll! This is our second stroll and we’re all sitting on your doorstep waiting for our coffee — hurry and get dressed! We’re not giving up! If I had those cute little guys you have there’d be one banging on your door — or maybe on one of Kittie’s doors — I know, you’re out back stuck in the outhouse aren’t you!!!?? LOL Luv ya lady! Mary
