Vintage Layout with Netra

 Hello everyone. 

I hope today has been going wonderful for you all. 

I am sharing a vintage style layout with you. 

I am still working on my layouts, they are not my best work. 

I do better with cards and things. 

So, I hope you like it and can find some inspiration from it. 

I used lots of Tim Holtz Ephemera. I just love them.

Hi it's Jennifer here and I am using the new 

LF Magic Color Slider kit and it is Awesome

and so easy to use ! I can see this being used an

Awful lot here! 

So to start with I made a card base with white Card Stock

layered with blue I then used LF Peacock Card Stock and

Coloured it with a mix of Oxide Inks Faded Jeans and

 Broken China splattered it with water and blotted to give a 

water look. I dont have the new LF Ocean Wave Borders yet

so I improvised and used LF Puffy Cloud Borders which

I think worked well. The Stamp sets I have used are

LF So Jelly, LF Duh-nuh, LF Snow Cool and LF Ahoy Matey.

I had some googley eyes in my stash that just added.

I coloured them all up in a mix of copic colours. 

Don't you love how it reveals the colour picture.

Magic!

'anthing is possible' using Simple Stories Carpe Diem collection

Hi ... Bev here today. I am using lots of layers, shapes, stickers and accents on this base for this photo of ....yes....myself. As crafters and the main taker of photos we don't get enough memories and photos of us alone or in groups. I have been trying to hand my camera over more often and get more photos with me in them.

Supply List: 

The Rubber Buggy Products:

Paper: Simple Stories Carpe Diem collection

Accents: Simple Stories Carpe Diem Sn@p Pack

Sequins: 28 Lilac Lane Sunflower Sky

Ink: Tim Holtz ranger Vintage Photo

Blending Tool: Ranger Ink Blending tool

Glue: Beacon 3-in-1

Other: cardstock

I start most of my pages with a rough draft layout and take a photo for reference. I will change things up however as I go along.

Using a card section from the collection I hand cut it to make my title.

I start by gluing from the back to the front.

For this page I wanted lots of layers, lots of accents all from the collection. I then decided to use my newest purchase... the 28 Lilac Lane sequins which I scattered in areas of the page.

I inked the edges of some of the accents to give them dimension and depth.

My photo is still front and centre with all the trims and accents around it. This colouring in this collection is perfect with my photo.

Hope to see you again soon when I have another project sharing amazing products.

Creating Backgrounds with Gel Press

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today working with a bunch of products from the Rubber Buggy Store.  Have you checked out the store lately?  It has so many wonderful new products.

Have you tried monoprinting yet?  If not, you are in for a surprise.  It's so much fun to create your own backgrounds using the Gel Press and assorted acrylic paints from Prima Marketing. The Gel Press comes in assorted sizes so you have lots of possibilities.

 

Once I placed paint on the Gel Press, I used a Gel Press Brayer to smooth the paint on the plate.

Next, I placed a Tim Holtz Stencil on top of the plate and placed a sheet of paper on top and pulled a print.  This process is addicting so I continued pulling prints using a variety of stencils from Prima Marketing and The Crafter's Workshop until I had no paint left on the plate.  You can continue adding stencil upon stencil to get some fun effects.

 

 

Once I had the backgrounds ready, I created cards and added stamped images/sentiments from Heartfelt Creations Coffee Talk stamp set.

I hope I've inspired you to give this technique a try.

Thank you for visiting.

Bunny, Butterfly and Flowers

Hi it's Jennifer  with Tuesday's post. I am still waiting

on the Postie with all my new goodies to create with I 

will keep my fingers crossed and hopefully they will be

here before next week to share with you all.

So this week I used this really Cute Stamp

 Wild Rose Studio Bunny and Butterfly.  I have

created this background by wiping Distress Ink Pads on a
Tim Holtz Mat.I used Picked Raspberry, Dusty Concord and
Wilted Violet inks on a mat and spraying 2 squirts of water on
 each colour. I then smoosh my papers in them  drying inbetween
each layer and building up until its the right depth. I did it quiet

dark. I then sprayed it using Tim Holtz Perfect Pearls

As you can see by the Memory Box Distressed Addington Die

I only needed one corner with colour. I then diecut it from 

White Card Stock and used 3D Foam Tape around the edges and a

 couple of strips down the center for support and taped it too the 

coloured piece. You could use any of the Memory Box Dies with

an open pattern to do this with.

I then stamped the Butterfly only making sure I didn't get ink on

 the rabbit. I coloured it roughly. I then stamped another two

butterflies and fussy cut the butterfly wings one altogether and 

the other with only the top wing. I coloured them and then  covered

them in Wink of Stella Clear. I then layered each

one using 3D foam squares.

I then sprinkled a few clear sequin around. I then stamped

and fussycut the Rabbit and used 3D Tape to pop him on.

I also layered it on a white card base with an aqua layer.

All these products and more are available at the

The Rubber Buggy Shop and don't forget to visit us on Facebook
