Steampuck card with Craft O'Clock Age of Technology
Masculine-themed paper with grungy gears, light bulbs, top hats and classic cars are for the special male cards so start with the Craft O'Clock Age of Technology paper collection.
Age of Technology Extras to Cut II
I cut out a few images from the Age of Technology Extras to Cut I
I always love to add these gorgeous cardstock papers from each collection to the back of my cards and use a stamp to add my name to it.
Prima Marketing Waxes
Metal or paper die cut gears
Frame of card measures 6 1/2" square.
I used Prima Marketing Finnabair Mechanicals Set Hardware Accent hardware and Prima Marketing black gesso with the Prima Marketing Art Alchemy Metallique waxes or Prima Marketing acrylic paints to cover the gears. I used a paint brush for the gesso and paint and rubbered the wax on the gears with my fingers. I used a hot glue gun to adhere the metal embellishments on the card. Otherwise, I used the Beacon 3-n-1 Advanced glue to adhere the layers of paper. Some of the gears are Prima Marketing - Mechanical Gears. Also added were embellishments from the Tim Holtz Idea-ology Chipboard Alphabet dies and Graphic 45 Clock and Tag sets. In the card below, the beautiful amber stone is from the Prima Marketing Finnabair Art Ingredient Melange - Vintage Art Pebbles which I use often for my steampuck cards.
Age of Technology Extras to Cut II and added these to the front and inside of the card. On the left of the inside of my card, I adhered two cardstocks. I tore one of the edges and distress it as well as sponged on Ranger Distress Ground Espresso ink. I used the same ink to sponge around the sentiment on the right side and fussy cut some gears from the Extras To Cut - Age of Technology cardstock and added it to the sentiment. I always type a personal each sentiment and print it out for the inside of my cards.
Have a fabulous crafting day and thanks for visiting.

Masculine Card with Tutti Designs Dies
Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a masculine card. Masculine cards are a bit more challenging to create as you don't want all the flowers and frills, but you still want a nice card.
Using Tutti Designs Dotted Rectangle slimline dies, I die cut one layer from Bazzill Jawbreaker Cardstock and the next size down from pattern paper.
I needed a masculine card and this older Prima Marketing stamp was perfect. I colored him with Copic Markers and then fussy cut him.
Before placing him atop the card with EK Success 3D Dots for dimension, I inked him with Distress Oxide Ink - Ground Espresso.
I used a stamp from Art Impressions Watercolor Cling stamp set using Lawn Fawn Licorice Ink. I wanted a smaller sized sentiment so I die cut black cardstock with the smaller Tutti die, then moved it 1/2" along the die and recut that end.
The sentiment was then placed along side of the image.
Thank you for visiting

Gift Box with Craft O'Clock Vintage Treasure
Welcome back and Nancy, here. The new arrival of the Craft O' Clock Vintage Treasure papers are a gorgeous with the vintage colors and beautiful pink roses that made for my shabby chic Valentine's gift box. I have the 8" pads of this paper collection for this box but available in 6" and 12" as well.
I used the Sizzix - 3D Impresslits Embossing Folder By Tim Holtz - Trellis to frame the picture
I cut out four pieces of paper and sprayed each one with water before putting each one separately in the Trellis 3D Impresslits Embossing Folder. I had to change my Sizzix die cutting machine layers to fit the die/embossing folder in the machine. NOTE: Insert the folded part of this die through the die machine first. I have broken a few embossing folders in the past by not doing this. You may need to run this die through your machine 2 or 3 times but make sure your cardstock is slightly damp to get the embossing to
go through this thick die.
Let dry for about 10 minutes before coating the pieces.
I cut a rectangle size from the paper and sponged some Ranger Black Soot ink to the right size to blend more with the left side of the patterned paper.
Now, I will fill this box full of chocolate for a Valentine's gift.
I had so much fun making these gift boxes with these gorgeous paper collections available at
The Rubber Buggy. So have fun crafting this weekend with these products and keep watching and buy early when new arrivals are available since it won't be long before it is sold out. 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!

Thank You Daisies
Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with a fun, different shaped card today. I love creating different shaped cards and this was an easy one to make.
Using Bazzill Licorice Twist Cardstock, cut to 6 1/2" x 10". Place the longer size on Scor-Pal, and score at 5" and 7 1/2"
Fold on the scored lines creating a Z-fold.
Cut blue pattern paper to fit each panel of the card. Each panel was cut slightly smaller than the card so the black cardstock would peek out. 5 panels will be needed to finish the card. Ink the edges with Distress Oxide Ink in Speckled Egg.
Adhere each panel to the card.
Cut Maja Designs Flourishing pattern paper slightly smaller for the next layer. Then stamp images from 49 and Market - Gabi's Daisies using Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Ink. The pattern is subtle, but I wanted it to show through the images. Also ink the edges with Speckled Egg Ink, then adhere to the panels to the card.
Finish the inside by adding 2 sentiments from 49 and Market - Gabi's Hibiscus. I could have added some color to the daisies, but I liked the dramatic effect.
Thank you for visiting

Craft O'Clock Vintage Treasure Birthday Cards
My shabby chic cards always have pearls, laces and ribbons. I had a lot of fun sewing around the edges of the card and distress the sides with sand paper and sponged some with Ranger Distress Antique Linen ink and Ranger Distress Ripe Persimmon ink. The gorgeous butterflies were cut out from the Craft O'Clock Vintage Treasure - A Sheet of Extra and once adhered to the card, I used the NUVO Crystal Clear Gloss on the butterfly and let dry. I love how it brings out the butterfly with a little gloss on the wings.
I added a Lawn Fawn Simple Banner die and stamped with the Lawn Fawn Wavy Saying on this card.
So have fun making your gorgeous shabby chic cards with the gorgeous collection from Craft O-Clock Vintage Treasure.
Have a fabulous crafting day and thanks for visiting.

Lawn Fawn Birdhouse Card
Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here with a sweet birdhouse card today.
Lawn Fawn's Magic Iris Birdhouse add on is part of their Iris series but it can be used alone, which is the beauty of the Lawn Fawn dies. You aren't forced to purchase something you might not want to use.
Since many of the dies are small, I tend to keep them linked together so I don't lose them. I die cut all the pieces from a variety of colors so I would be ready to assemble the card. I wanted a wood grain effect to the birdhouse so I used Lawn Fawn's Dark Brown Woodgrain Cardstock.
Once I had all the pieces die cut, I created the card from brown cardstock and Authentique's Romance pattern paper. I created a stake for the birdhouse, placed it on the card, then placed the birdhouse on top. The phrase was stamped with Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Ink on the left over circle which was die cut from the center of another birdhouse.
Leaves and flowers were added to the flower box along with the blue bird. Then I added several small pearls for dimension.
To finish I added two leafy vines below the birdhouse as well as 2 more leafy vines and a small pink heart to the top of the birdhouse.

You will love the gorgeous flowers and microcosmos in the beauty of the gardens in the Ciao Bella MicroCosmos collection. Nancy, here, and excited to share three thank you cards made with this incredible and beautiful paper collection with gorgeous colors and details in the flowers, blades of grass and living creatures in our gardens.
You
I added doilies and die cut frames behind each frame and added a thank you sentiment to each card. My favorite frame is the Graphic 45 Staples Policy and Decorative die that was die cut in white cardstock and I cut out a gold metallic rectangle to add to this frame. I added a Wild Orchid Craft daisy flower to the center of the handmade bow.
The cards were adhered with the Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Glue.

Special Card and Matching Gift Bag
Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here using the Memory Box Die - Woodgrain Heart.
The die creates the perfect heart shape with a wood grain effect so it can be used on all types of papers. I die cut Bazzill Lollipop Cardstock and Bazzill Sour Lemon Cardstock.
The card was created from Dress My Crafts Whispering Love Collection and Bazzill Licorice Twist Cardstock. Before adding the panel to the card, I placed the 2 hearts on the panel, punched holes through the layers and slipped ribbon through the holes, tying it atop the hearts.
A phrase from an Art Impressions stamp set was stamped with Lawn Fawn Black Licorice Ink and added to the corner of the card.
As I was giving this to a sweet friend with a small gift, I created a coordinating gift bag.
