Enjoy the Little Things
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.
Heartfelt Creations has some wonderful dies and this Fleur Borders and Pocket Dies is no exception. This die set has 3 delicate dies and 3 background dies. Let me show you how I've used two of these dies today.
Starting with a sheet from Lawn Fawn's Knock on Wood paper pad, I selected the orange panel, cutting it to size. Next, I used Lawn Fawn's Vanilla Malt cardstock to die cut the filigree design, gluing it directly to the card with Tombow Mono Aqua Liquid Glue. I love the orange peeking out from behind the die.
The panel was added to a blue panel from the Lawn Fawn pack and brads were added to the die cut flowers. Several flowers from Prima Marketing's Capri Flowers were added to the corner. The stamp was inked with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on Lawn Fawn's Vanilla Malt cardstock. I used Lawn Fawn Stitched Circle dies to die cut the phrase.
My next card uses the same die, plus the coordinating background die on another sheet of Lawn Fawn's Knock on Wood paper pad. Using a premade card, I cut a woodgrain panel from LemonCraft's House of Roses collection to fit, then used the die cut element as a pocket, adhering just the edges. Ranger Liquid Pearls were added to the die cut flower centers.
Thank you for visiting.

Tiffany Loves to Text
Hi everyone! Nancy, here. Are you missing seeing your friends or family members right now during this shutdown and have been texting them with messages throughout the day? I would image this would definitely put a smile on their face when they open up this this special card from you.
Stamping Bella - Uptown Girl - Tiffany Loves to Text is so cute with three text sentiments for you to use on your card. I love that the bag is filled with spring time flowers which is perfect for this time of year. Also, Stamping Bella.com has many coloring tutorials called Stamping Bella Marker Geek U-Tubes for coloring their stamp images. I just google Stamping Bella Marker Geek, then the name of the stamp set and most of the time, I get a video on how they colored their stamp set. I view these U-Tubes videos often to learn very valuable techniques and color guides for coloring my Stamping Bella stamps.

The card above is a shaker card with the 28 Lilac Lane Shaker Sunrise Mix inside of the frame behind a sheet protector that was cut out and glued behind the white frame. I cut out five white frames for thickness for the shaker mix and adhered a cut out sheet protector behind one front white frame using Scor-Tape double-sided tape and the rest of the white frames adhered with Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced glue. I try to make my frames thick enough to move the shaker mix around. I just love the variety of colors of the 28 Lilac Lane Shaker Mixes.
I colored the background with Distress Oxide Inks: Tumbled Glass Spun Sugar, and Shaded Lilac using the Picket Fence Studio brushes and then stamped the sentiments from the Tiffany stamp set. I strongly recommend the Picket Fence Studio brushes for sponging. I just tap the ink on the brush, tap it on scrap paper first to get the heavy ink off, and then brush it on the paper. What I especially like about these brushes is that most of the ink comes off the brush and I can apply the next color of ink when blending the two colors side by side. When done, I just use a little soap and water and let dry to use again. These brushes don't wear out.
Tiffany was first stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, let dry for a few minutes and then colored with Copic makers and cut out with scissors. I adhered Tiffany with glue. I used a hot glue gun to adhere the 6mm flat back string pearls, handmade bow and 10mm Wild Orchid Craft flowers.
I tried using other black ink for stamping and coloring but always prefer Memento Tuxedo Black ink since it doesn't bleed black ink while coloring with my Copic Markers.
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!

Get Whale Soon
Have a fast recovery with this cute whale, cloud and little fishes card. Welcome and Nancy, here, to share another Get Well card during this pandemic and flu season. The Lawn Fawn Get Well Soon stamp set along with other Lawn Fawn stamps and die sets are perfect for wishing someone a speedy recovery or for simply offering some “feel better” support when times are tough.
I created a U-Tube on how I did my clouds with the beautiful Ranger Distress Ink pads and Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Border die which could be substituted for the Lawn Fawn Cloud Stencil.. I just love using the Picket Fence Studio brushes for sponging now.
I added the Lawn Fawn Pivot Popup Die Set for the inside of the card. This set includes everything you need to create a four-panel pop-up scene that twists open inside your card! Use the included hills, trees, and clouds to decorate your scene with the panels as a starting point to create your own pop-up masterpiece! This panel can be used on a portrait or landscape side of the card. You will need to watch the video on assembling the pivot before you begin. Lawn Fawn made a video that goes through the steps. Click on Here to take you to this video. I adhered the card using the Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced glue.

Need a Hug? Card
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.
Thank you for visiting
I stamped Stamping Bella's Gilbert and Maisy Under the Toadstool with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, then colored the image with Copic Markers. Using Lawn Fawn Stitched Rectangle Dies, the image was die cut. Leaving the image in place, I added Ranger Distress Inks around the image using a Ranger Ink Blending Tool.
Removing the die, you can see a nice white edge around the image.
Creating a card from Bazzill Gumdrop cardstock, I added a panel from Lawn Fawn's Knock on Wood paper pad, then wrapped the card with Cotton Ribbon.
Matting the image with Bazzill Gumdrop cardstock, I added it to the card with Scrapbook Adhesives 3D Foam Squares for dimension. The sentiment was added to the corner.
To finish, Ranger Liquid Pearls in Merlot were added to the flower centers and the sentiment.
Thank you for visiting

Lawn Fawn Flying High Five
Welcome back and Nancy, here. I am excited to share new arrivals of Lawn Fawn die, stamp and paper available at The Rubber Buggy on-line and retail stores. Make sure to check out all of the new arrivals coming to The Rubber Buggy during the week and get your orders in while these wonderful products and supplies are still available.
Wheeeee! Create your next cards with the Lawn Fawn Flying High Five stamp and die set. From flying balloons to trampolines, this stamp set gives lots of ways to create a fun party! I made two cards for you with the Lawn Fawn Flying High Five and Lawn Fawn Oliver Stitched Alphabet die set.
I cut out the adorable critters using the Lawn Fawn Flying High Five stamp and Lawn Fawn High Five die set and colored with Copic Markers. I cut out another Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Border using white glitter cardstock and adhered the entire card with Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Glue.
If you have trouble figuring out how to glue this to the card, take another look at my card or view the Lawn Fawn tutorial where to glue the part of the pop up to the card. Also, I would highly recommend doing a quick sample card with the pop up glued to the inside to have with your die for future reference. I store my sample with these dies. I am referring back to my sample for every card that I make with this pop up die.
I cut out the Happy Birthday rainbow patterned paper with the Lawn Fawn Hello Sunshine Remix and also used this paper pad for the rest of the inside of the card.

Happy Easter Cards
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.
Have you seen the new Lindy's Stamp Gang products available in the store? They are absolutely stunning and such a wide variety of products.
I've used Shimmer Magicals - Drop Dead Diva pigment powders. I began by spritzing a sheet of Strathmore Watercolor Paper with water then dropped the powders on the paper.
Once the powders were dropped on the paper, I used a paint brush to move them about the paper. Then I spritzed additional water and moved the paper so the colors would run.
Once I liked the effect, I heat set the paper.
I created 2 cards from Bazzill Licorice cardstock then cut the spritzed panel to fit each card. Each card was then wrapped with May Arts Sheer Ribbon.
Stamping Bella's Bunny and Her Daffodil was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then colored with Copic Markers. Each image was then die cut with Lawn Fawn's Stitched Rectangle dies. While the die remained in place, I colored around the first image with Weathered Wood Distress Ink using the Ranger Ink Blending Tool.
The second image was inked as the first image, but this time I used Milled Lavender Distress Ink. I love the white edge of the cardstock that shows.
The sentiment, Just for You, is from the Wild Rose Studio Antique Roses stamp set, was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, matted with Licorice cardstock and added to the card.
Thank you for visiting.
