I'm moving.... I've decided to move my little blog to a new home.
I hope you'll pop over to my new nest here. It's still called Wordbird's Nest but the url is different.

I just needed a fresh start. I hope you'll stop by and subscribe to my feed or follow me on networked blogs. Thanks so much!

Red Rubber Designs has a floral theme this month. So I'll be playing with some beautiful floral stamps the next couple weeks.
Today I have a card made from the Rosa rubber stamp set.
The beautiful patterned paper you see here is from the Catelynne Patterned Card stock Collection.
Hope to get some more crafty time in tomorrow. Thank goodness my Christmas list is almost completed. Time to relax and enjoy the season!

PaperTemptress Card Stock Glimmers!
And here are a few Christmas stocking stuffers to prove it. ;D
Reindeer Food
My Reindeer Food is made of uncooked oatmeal and colored sugar. Just mix whatever amounts you like. Simple to make and safe in case your little one decides to take a taste test!
My kids like to sprinkle this on the lawn before going to bed Christmas Eve.
I pulled my Glimmer Card Stock package and chose pearl glimmer and copper ore for this project. The Cha Cha patterned paper is from Red Rubber Designs store.
I googled reindeer food and this poem popped up about a billion times. I just typed it up and die cut it into a circle. (If you click on the picture you may be able to read the poem easier.) Then added my reindeer stamp on top.
Rudolph's Spares
Rudolph's Spares are made from tiny round tin containers filled with Red Hots candy. I found these containers in the bridal department at Michaels.I found the Rudolph image in an online coloring page.
My Glimmer Card Stock package from The PaperTemptress store came in handy for this little project as well. I printed my Rudolph image on pearl glimmer using my computer printer and it came out great!
Hope your holidays Glimmer!

It's time for another wonderful Red Rubber Designs New Release and Contest!
Today I'm sharing a card made from the Flowers and Holly stamp set. I chose to focus on the holly today because I'm really starting to feel the Christmas spirit this week! ;D
I felt like a clean, crisp design would show off this pretty sprig of holly. Because I'm a color junkie I added a pop of purple behind my sentiment.
It's so nice to be able to go to the Red Rubber Designs store to purchase your stamps... and pick pick up your card stock and other crafty supplies as well! One stop shopping is what I like. My sentiment is from the Peace on Earth stamp set.

Woo hoo... my computer is home today! I took it to be repaired and it took over 2 weeks to get it back. (not going there for repairs again!) I had no idea I would miss my computer so much! ;D
Today I'm sharing an ornament I made using the lovely Joy stamp from the Red Rubber Designs store.
This is one of the snowflake buttons I've hoarded for awhile. Hope I can find more have been in my stash for a couple years.
I simply stamped and embossed the word Joy. I then used my circle die to cut it out. Then I rolled it and inserted it into the clear ornament I found at Michaels. It can be a bit of a challenge to unroll once inside the ornament but after a little effort I think it turned out ok.
I'm thinking I'll try a transparency or vellum in the next one I make. But overall it was a fun and fairly quick project!

Ack!!! My computer crashed a few days ago... no fun at all.
But I'm finally back using a borrowed one. Too bad all the pictures of my projects were on the sick computer all edited and everything! But I finally got a pretty one re-edited and uploaded for today's post.
This lovely Joy stamp is from the Red Rubber Designs store. It makes a nice big statement on your project with the beautiful font and elegant swirls. I just added a little purple to match my ribbon and purple card stock.
These snowflake buttons have been in my stash for a couple years. Pretty sure they were a Michaels find. I hope they have more...I loved the pretty seasonal bling they added to my card!
I have a pretty ornament to match this card. I'll share it soon. ;D

I'm still thinking pink for Breast cancer awareness month and so is Red Rubber designs. Don't forget to go play in the 3rd annual Hope You Can Cling To event at SplitCoastStampers!
To help celebrate Awareness, Red Rubber Designs has some special things going on through Oct 31.I have two sweet little CAS projects to share. Perfect to brighten someone's day and to say I'm thinking of you.
The first is a post-it note holder:
This darling birdie and sentiment is from the Singing Praises stamp set by Red Rubber Designs.
The next little project is a tiny candle. I made a "belly band" to dress it up, so fast and easy but the result is sweet. This scripture is from the same stamp set.
I just love these little candles. They're only a $1 at most discount stores and they dress up so cute!
