RBC05 It’s Your Day (for Blog Candy!)
Are you ready for this week’s
Rubbernecker Blogger Challenge (RBC05)?
This weeks colors: Yellow, Red and Green
I also have some blog candy to give away! You don’t have to play in the blogger challenge to enter. All you need to do is leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite tool in your stamp room. I will be choosing a randomly selected winner Tuesday April 15th at 3:00 CT.
The winner will receive a $10 Rubber Bucks certificate!
Here’s my card for today’s challenge. The image was colored with Copic markers. I cut out the circle with Nestabilities and before popping the image from the die I sponged with Ranger Distress Vintage Photo ink.
The background was made by inking the stamp with Ranger Distress Scattered Straw ink. On some of the flourishes I inked and then stamped off on scratch paper to lighten.
Here are the products I used:

Paper: Georgia Pacific White, Prism Classic Red

My favorite tool in my stamp room is all of my paper punches. I just can’t make a card without them–whether it’s just a simple corner rounder punch, a word window punch, or my layered scalloped punches, you can always see the work of a paper punch on each of my cards!
Favorite tool…hmmm….
Well, the one that I use the most and could not make a card without is my CM Personal Cutter…it always cuts straight and smooth, couldn’t layer without it!
Wonder if you can consider “glue” a tool??? That’s got to be my favorite tool. Especially Scotch Quick-Dry Adhesive. You could say it holds my life together. Easy to use, no muss no fuss.
Gorgeous use of the colors Jeanne, I love the sunflowers.
OMG, I love that card, Jeanne - it’s just fabulous!
Now, as to choosing a tool . . . that’s a hard one, but I’d have to say the cuttlebug - I love the bgs it makes and use it soo much! No, wait, maybe it’s my guillotine paper cutter? I dunno for sure. Have a great day.
Whatever tool I am using at the moment is my favorite tool. Right now I am using my big shot with Cuttlebug folders. I consider my stamping room my playroom. I can spend hours in here just having fun. thanks for sharing your creations. You are one of my favorite stampers ever since I discovered Splitcoast.

Beautiful card, Jeanne! I really need to try masking with the nesties. It looks soooo good!!
Beautiful Jeanne!!
My favorite tool? Hmmm…my Scor-Pal! Before this, my cards were folded in half and did not leave a nice seam. I love that thing for all projects! I use it for decorative embossing also. It’s just a wonderful little invention! Your card is beautiful and so are all of them!
Beautiful card.
My favorite tool??? I guess I would have to say my punches.
Will play latter today but wow some blog candy too…
Beautiful card!
hmmmm……….when I saw today’s colors I immediately thought of my daisy stamp from RN! YIKES….might be a tad too similar to yours!! hehe….
favorite tool….my stampamajig. I use it for layout ideas (has cut down on my trash pile) in addition to just lining up images. LOVE that thing!!
Limiting it to just one…. well that is hard, I have three new toys that I am really excited about -
I got my nestibilities this past month lovin them!
I got my ATG gun, wow saving tons of $ on adhesive, so more towards stamps now! LOL
And I just got my Scor-pal, and it seems I should have broke down and got it much sooner!
But I still love my cuttlebug and my embossing folders a whole lot!
Love the card BTW!
My fave tool is my tape gun…how did I live without it.
Gorgeous card!!!
My fav tool is definitely my cuttlebug. Best crafting investment ever!
My favorite tool would probably be my cuttlebug. So fun!! Thanks so much for the chance to win.
Super pretty card! - Favorite Tool…Hmmm I think I love my paper piercing tool the most lately as I seem to want to use it on almost every card I make lately.
Jeanne, I love this flower. It is gorgeous. I’m not entering the blog candy but wanted to say I could not live without my paint brushes. Watercolor paper comes in second!
I was going to say my favorite tool was my crop-a-dile until I scrolled down and saw the nesties! So it has to be a tie between my nesties and my crop-a-dile!
There is a tool that I use more often than any other. It is a piercing tool. I have had it for a few years. Possibly sold seperately by Making Memories? I call it my 3rd hand. Everyone in my household knows what to run and get for me when I ask for my third hand. I use it pick off glue dots and place them in tight places. I use it for placing little seed beads into glue for flower centers. I use it to tuck ribbon through holes that are too small. It is great for tucking in edges that decide to stick out at the last moment. And yes, I even use it to pierce and we know how popular that has gotten lately! Can’t be without it!
Ooooo, I love this card. I always forget that I can do other things with my nesties beside cut. Favorite tool? Do I have to have just one? Love my cuttlebug, nesties, and my newest toy, my scor-pal.
Hmmm, my favorite tool is…my Stamp-a-ma-jig. I can’t get along with out this, besides using it for two-step stamping, I use it all the time to help “preview” a sentiment placement or that extra corner stamp. I even use it with my clear stamps.
Thanks for the chance to win some ‘blog candy’ !
My favorite tool is my stampin a ma jig. it allows for precision stamping, and when I use it for my two step stamping sets it allows for ease of stamping! thanks for all you do you are such an inspiration.
Gorgeous card Jeanne! My favorite tools is my Cuttlebug, but right behind it are my Nesties and Scor-pal. Can’t use the Nesties with out the CB so that is why I put that one first!!
My favorite tool!! I don’t hav just one….I just love all my stamps!!! A few weeks ago I discovered, by accident, the beautiful stamps from Rubbernecker and since then I’ve already ordered there twice. Perhaps next week for the third time lol!!
By the way, I love your card, it’s fabulous!!
Love this card! I’ll be glad when I can achieve that type of beauty w/my copics. My favorite tool would have to be my Big Shot to use those awesome nestibilities!
Oh, Beautiful card!!! Thanks for the chance to win some RN bucks!
wow one tool i have so many i love my crimper i just got it and iam having so much fun with it thank you michelle
My favorite tool (at this moment) is my paper-piercing template from the SU Mat Pack. I just got it and wish I would have gotten it years ago! I can finally have straight brads and stitches for faux stitching…
Right now I would have to say that my favorite tool is my Wizard and my nestibilities. It seems that I use it on almost every card these days. Once I get the focal image stamped I figure out what shape I want and I Wizard away. Before the nesties, I rarely used my Wizard. I have a cuttlebug also, but for cutting I really like the Wizard. The ‘bug is great for embossing and small cuts with ‘bug dies.
What a difficult question. I have several, my ATG gun, my big shot with nesties and folders, my prismas with gamasol, and so on….
I am having fun with my new ATG gun. I’m just looking for things to glue down.
Love the card you made with the color challenge. I sat looking at all of the tools I have on my stamp desk trying to think which one was my favorite. I guess I will pick the one thing I use on every single thing I make; my Scotch ATG tape gun. I just love it! Thanks for the chance to win some blog candy.

I think my fave tool right now is my duck brand double sided adhesive- I use them all of the time! and I love my amuse stamps
Hmmm, I must admit that my favorite tool right now is my paper piercer and mat pack! I love the added touch they add!
my scor it board and my purple cows trimmer are my favs love the card
I don’t know if I can pick just one favorite tool. I definitely have a few favorites that I use over and over, like my exacto knife, cuttlebug and aquapen.
My favorites tend to change. For today my favorite item is my Scor-pal. I don’t know how I lived without it!
I seem to pull out my paper piercing template from the mat pack a lot, so I guess that’s my favorite tool at the moment. I just got a Scor-Pal so I expect it will by my new favorite.
Like the way you sponged around the edges, before removing the template.
My favorite tool…my Spellbinders Wizard…no wait, my tape gun…no wait, my Tonic cutter…no wait, my Crop-a-dile…no wait, my mini Scor-It board…no wait…I am so confused; what was the question?!!!
I don’t think I can pick just one. I’m new to the paper crafting world and every time I use one of my new toys, I just smile because I’m glad I spent the extra money for something that works so well… my guillotine cutter (Tonic), my Scor Pal, my Stamp a ma jig, Cropodile Big Bite, and on and on. They are all so new to me, I love them all! My most used tool is my laptop! I love the blogs!
My favorite tool would have to be my watercolor brush. I am not extremely skilled with it, but I do get a certain joy out of using it. My most used and most essential tool would be my paper cutter–but though he is a good work horse he is not my fav. (Sorry big Guy!)
My favorite tool is my Spellbinder Nestabilities! I also recently got a Crop A Dile and am having fun using rivets and eyelets with NO pounding! Woo-hoo!

My stamp-a-ma-jig is awesome. Thanks Kathy Hering…
I had my cuttlebug 5 months before using it, but it is used almost daily now.. love it..thanks for a chance to win something.
Great idea with the nestabilities! Pounce before removing, cool! Like the look alot! Let’s see, hmmm favorite tool? I use to have a really hard time gluing everything together, I got glue every where. Then I found the AMG tape thingy, I think that’s what it is called and now ….. no problem. I thought I would never use up all that tape, but surprise, I’m on my third roll! LOL! Fun Fun Fun. Thanks for all your inspiration and really great cards. Keep them coming! :0)
Gorgeous card as always…. I’d say I think I use my awesome teflon bone folder on every card (along my Scor Pal).

I would have to say my favorite stamping tool is my Stamp-a-ma-jig. I use it constantly!
I’d have to say that my favorite tool is my heat gun… I emboss on everything!
Beautiful colors and flower! I love the background too! And you are tempting us with pictures of those Nesties!! My favorite tool would have to be my Stamp-A-Ma-Jig. I have a lot of other tools I perhaps use more often, but this is one I wouldn’t want to be without!
Without question my favorite tool is my ATG…love that thing!
Well I got my card done.. Way out of my normal box on this one, but fun I think! It was so perfect timing as I got my new Rubbernecker stamps yesterday! YEA!
Here is my Card:
Stamps, Paper, Scissors and Donkey Smiles: You might need your shades for this one!
ooops I just realized I missed the green…. I may have to go back and add it - darn shouldn’t read these challenges in the middle of the night!
ok….I decided to link a card that I did a couple of weeks ago….it fits the bill and I REALLy wanted to play but not sure if I’ll get a current color challenge done…

Thanks for the fun!
I don’t have a fav tool yet but I am waiting for what I hope will be my fav tool in the mail! I got it at HSN on clearance (I looked last night and they are all gone) and it is the Karen Foster Scraparatus Eyelet and Die-Cutter Starter Crafts Kit, I can not get my eyelets right so I am hoping this does the trick for me!
My Nestabilities! Of course I have others I can’t live without, but these are my to-die-for tools right now!
Thanks for the chance to win!
I’d have to say I love my cuttlebug embossing folders. They come in second to my stamps. Not suree stamps are considered a tool though. HUMMMMMMM.
Favorite tool…that’s hard, but I guess it would be my markers. I have SU markers and I love to color!!!
Second place would go to my Aquabrush for sure!
Gretchen
My favorite tool right now is my watercolor brush — and it’s all your fault! lol
Favorite tool? I guess I’ll go with my paper cutter since I couldn’t function without it!
p.s. Here’s a link to my card for this week’s blogger challenge.

My favorite tool would be my paper cutter since I can’t cut a straight line any other way (and at times not even that way LOL)
Great challenge! Hope to get to play this week.
Well lets see— There is my stamps, inks, sponge daubers, tape runner, paper cutter, crop-a-dile, and the Big-Bite Crop-a-dile II. I couldn’t live without any of them.
Beautiful cards. Right now my favorite tool is my waterbrush.
This is my first time playing the blog challenge. It’s fun! Here’s my card: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo/884983?cat=500&ppuser=133522
