Thinking of You Mixed Media Cards

6:00 AM

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with lots of products from the store. Please visit the store for all the fun products I've used today.

I've used a Stamperia Texture Mold with Prima Icing Paste, but you can also use Stamperia Modeling Paste to achieve the same effect.. As you can see the design failed to come out of the mold complete, so I chose to cut it apart.

I cut the mold apart, finding elements I wanted to use on several cards.

Creating a card from Bazzill Licorice Twist Cardstock, I scored it with the Scor-Pal Scoring Tool to create a top fold card. I die cut 2 layers with Lawn Fawn Outside In Rectangle Dies, then used Lawn Fawn Stitched Windy Backdrop on the top layers.

I used Ranger Distress Ink in Vintage Photo to ink the portions of the mold I was using.

Using Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Adhesive, I adhere the mold elements to each card.

The Prima Doll stamps were colored with Copic Markers then fussy cut for each of the cards.

Placing each stamp off center, I adhered her to the card with Scrapbook Adhesives for dimension. Then I added other elements from 7Gypsies Archtextures Trinkets - Ink Pens and Mason Jars to add visual interest.

Finally I stamped a phrase from 49 and Market's Gabi's Hibiscus stamp set and used a mini clothes pin which can be found in the ArtC Ephemera Collage Kit, to adhere them to the cards.

Thank you for visiting

Time for Home Shaker Card

12:00 AM

Hello friends! Debbie here today sharing a frosty winter shaker card featuring Ciao Bella Time for Home Collection. This new release is just so gorgeous and has so many beautiful embellishments to coordinate with it. On this card set I used one of the Papers from the Collection. I also added Nuvo Crystal Drops to the border to finish it off.
Perfect for layouts and card making!

I stamped a sentiment from a stamp in my stash and then embossed it with fine silver embossing powder. The sequins, ribbon and flowers are also from my stash.

Thanks for stopping by the Rubber Buggy blog today.

Christmas Scene

8:00 PM

Hi Everyone it's Jennifer here with a layered Scene Christmas Card.

So I cut a card base 12 x 24 cm. I then diecut the largest Small Stitched Square

3 times and out of each one I die Cut a Scene Layer. I also cut a piece of

Acetate the same size. On the front panel I glued the Acetate and Snowflake Circle.

In between each Layer I used 3D Tape. The bottom layer in Spearmint is cut out

using the Stitched Scallop Die. Before I taped it all together I stencilled

Snow with texter paste in the sky and then sprinkled Glitter all over it.

I then glued a couple of sequins in it and also on the outside. 3D tape it together

Stamperia Christmas Vintage Easel Card

12:00 AM

Welcome and I am soooo excited to share my easel card tutorial which the technique was created by Maggi Harding. After making my first card following her tutorial, I was so inspired and fell in love with this easel card so I had to share this with you. I made this first card using the gorgeous Stamperia Christmas Vintage paper collection from The Rubber Buggy on-line store. I will be showing you three additional easel cards this coming Saturday posted on The Rubber Buggy Blog. This paper is so beautiful and any card made with this paper would turn out gorgeous.

When folded, the easel card measures 4" x 6" so it will be easy to mail this Christmas. It is an easel card and also open on the bottom to a basic card as photos shown below.

I always love to add additional embellishments which is optional and will cost a little bit more to mail. I handmade the poinsettias from a die such as Memory Box Blooming Poinsettia die. I glued 3 gold pearls in the center of the poinsettia.

On the back side of the easel platform, the card opens up. I added a sentiment stamped on the Stamperia Christmas Vintage paper. On the other side, I cut out a tag in this collection along with the border to add to the inside of the card.

This photo shows a 3D of what the card looks like on the side.

When the easel is folded down, the card fits into a 4" x 6" envelope.

Instructions for the cut out and measurements of the easel card.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Photo above shows that I cut out two 4 " x 6" for the the easel part of the card along with two additional 4" x 6" for the inside of the card. You don't have to use the same patterned paper for the easel but highly recommended for the inside.

Step 5

Above photo: I took the cut out section of the 8" x 12" and adhered the tag on the frame.

Step 6

Above photo: I was running out of thick pop dots so I cut out this part and used it on the back of this tag which will be adhered to cardstock as shown below. The reason for a thick foam is to hold the top part of the card (see photo below).

I stamped a sentiment before adding the pop dots and adhering to the card.

This is a side view again of what the card looks like when sitting down with the easel up.

Step 7

Add you two cut out sheets of the patterned paper for the inside. I cut out a tag for the left side as well as borders from the Stamperia Christmas Vintage paper. On the right side, I used a stamp tool to stamp the sentiment inside the card.

Technique for stamping: First, I put down my paper in the stamp tool and put a clear acrylic sheet on top of the paper. I added my stamp to the stamp tool and inked and press the stamp tool down. If I didn't like the location or not align correction, I would wipe the ink off of the acrylic sheet and move the stamp around and repeat inking and pressing down until I got the desired alignment of the stamp to paper. Then I would take the acrylic off and then stamp. If you are into stamping, I would highly recommend a stamp tool like Tim Holtz or a Misti My Petunia Stamp tool. Don't go small but a 6" x 8" or 12" x 12" stamp tool would be the size you will like. I gave away my mini stamp tool since my paper wasn't fitting well in the stamp tool.

I hope I have inspired you try out these products available at The Rubber Buggy on-line store. My cards and projects are always posted on Saturday. Keep watching and thank you so much for those wonderful comments as well as suggestions.

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!

Lawn Fawn Christmas Cards

6:00 AM

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with lots of fun products from the store. Please visit the store for all the fun products I've used today.

I used the Lawn Fawn Stitched Windy Backdrop to create the background of my cards using Bazzill cardstock in Robin's Egg and Jelly Bean.

The Lawn Fawn Ho Ho Holidays stamp set and coordinating Lawn Cuts. Each item was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Lawn Fawn White Cardstock.

I colored all the images with Copic Markers and once all the stamped images were die cut, I simply had to arrange them on my cards.

My first card has Rudy flying about, waiting for Santa to get ready. Ranger Ice Stickles were added to Santa's fur. The sentiment is part of the stamp set.

My second card incorporates both sizes of Lawn Fawn Stitched Mountain Borders, along with some extra snow. The mountains were lightly inked with Tim Holtz Walnut Stain Ink, then added to the card.

Thank you for visiting

Old Fashioned Christmas

2:23 PM

Hello friends! Debbie with you today sharing a card set featuring UKH Gallery Old Fashioned Christmas. This collection comes with tags, word strips and card cut outs and you can create many projects from this amazing paper pack. I really love that the colors are neutral and you can add that pop of color without taking away from the patterned papers and details. I embellished these cards using White and Wild Orchid Crafts Gypsophila Flowers - Deep Ivory These products are available in the Rubber Buggy store, simply hit the link and it will take directly there.

I also added a few items from my stash. I added a gold ribbon bow and eyelash yarn as well as the poinsettia flower. The glitter cards stock and gold foil card stock is also from my stash.

I made a small envelope from a scrap out of the patterned paper using the WRMK envelope maker.
