Bunny Baby Cards with Clear Scraps

Hi everyone, I'm on the Clear Scraps blog with a set of baby cards.

I love creating baby cards, don't you?  There are so many different elements you can use.

I used the Bunnies Chipboard Embellishments, inking and embossing them.  Putting them aside, I created my cards.

I had this great baby paper that had both a boy and girl design so I could create similar cards.

Creating a card from pink cardstock, I matted the checked panel with the same cardstock and wrapped it with ribbon.  The baby panels were also matted with cardstock and added to the card with foam adhesives for dimension.  The pink bunny was adhered just below the Baby Girl tag.

Creating a 2nd card from blue cardstock, I matted the checked panel with the same cardstock and wrapped it with ribbon.  The baby panels were also matted with cardstock and added to the card with foam adhesives for dimension.  The blue bunny was adhered just below the Baby Boy tag.

So just remember that bunnies are not just for Easter!

Sweet Slimline Cards

 Hi everyone, I've got a set of Slimline cards to share.

I started by adhering Lawn Fawn Knock on Wood papers to Sizzix Mat Board, then running it through my Big Shot with Tim Holtz Alterations Cage Bird Die by Sizzix.

 

Since I die cut 3 sets, I moved the birds around till I liked how they looked on the cages.  I then glued them to the cages using Art Institute Glue.  

I inked the cages with Tim Holtz Distress Oxide Ink in Ground Espresso using a Ranger Ink Blending Tool.  Add some twine  to the bird cages.

I used Lawn Fawn Large Slimline Dies and Lawn Fawn Small Slimline Dies to create my layers from Maja Design papers - Vintage Summer Basics 1936, Vintage Summer Basics 1943 and Vintage Summer Basics 1903.

Using Penny Black Stamps - Special Thoughts - I chose the phrases I wanted to use, inked them with Lawn Fawn Black Licorice ink and stamped them on scraps of the same papers.

Creating cards from Bazzill cardstock, I used a Scor-Pal Scoring Board to create the creases in the cardstock, so the cards folded easily.  Then I assembled the cards, mixing the layers.  Using Mat Board elevates the bird cages to a 3 dimensional look on your cards.

This card could be sent to someone who is not feeling quite well.

This card could be sent to someone you are missing.

This card could be sent to someone to cheer them up.

There are lots of possibilities when you mix and match your stamps, dies and papers.

Lavinia World Challenge #13

Hi everyone, it's time for the next challenge at Lavinia World Challenges.  Please check it out and join in the fun.

This is Josie - isn't she pretty?

I just wanted a black and white theme this week so I stamped her in black ink on a off white panel of cardstock.  I cut apart the sentiment - Once upon a dream - so it fit better on my card.

Winter Purse and Notecard set

Hi everyone, my newest project for the Rubber Buggy is this cute winter purse and note card set.   Please visit the Rubber Buggy Store for all the fun products I've used today.

This project is not as difficult as you might think.  It consists of 4 main pieces that, when assembled, create this fun gift purse.

Cut 2 pieces of Lawn Fawn white cardstock 5 1/2" x 7".  Taper the panels by cutting 1/2" off both edges gradually ending in a point.

Cut pattern paper 5 1/4" x 6 3/4".  I used Maja Designs - Wrapped in Old Newspaper and Vintage Summer Basics 1903.  Create the same angle.

Ink all edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Cut a 3rd panel 5" x 6 1/2".  I used Maja Design - On Christmas Morning.  Create the same angle, then adhere to the outside panels.

To create the pockets, cut 2 pieces of cardstock 3 1/2" x 8".

Score the short edge at 1/2" and 1".

Score the long edge at 1/2", 1", 7", and 7 1/2".

Cut along the score lines as shown.  Ink edges with Vintage Photo Distress Ink.  Fold to create the pockets.  The pockets will have a 3d effect so you can slide cards in each one.

Add a strip of pattern paper across each pocket.  I used scraps of Maja Design papers.

To assemble the purse, cut a strip of white cardstock 1" x 6" and score in half lengthwise.

Add Scor-Tape to each side of the score line and fold in half.

Place the pockets on the 1" strip, on each side of the score line.

Add score tape along the edges of the pockets and adhere to the purse panels.

Create cards from the left over scraps of Maja papers.  Use Lawn Fawn Rectangle Dies to die cut panels for one of the card.  Use Lawn Fawn Marry Christmas die for the other card.  Add Raspberry Liquid Pearls to create berries on the first card.

Slip the cards into each pocket.

To finish the purse, cut 2 strips, each 1/2" x 12" for the handles.  

Cut 4 flaps, each 1" x 1 1/4".
Adhere the handles approximately 1/2" from each edge and add the flaps on top. 
Add brads for a finished look.
For the flap, cut cardstock 2" x 6" and score at 2 1/2" and 3 1/2".
Adhere to the back of the purse, and place a Velcro dot on the front.

A look at the back side of the purse.

This is definitely a fun project to create.  I can see creating them in a variety of styles for lots of occasions, such as birthdays, Christmas, teacher gifts, etc.

Thanks for stopping by.

Sweet Gift Bags

Hi everyone, I've been creating some some cute gift bags and you only need one sheet of double sided paper.

Double sided pattern papers such as those from Maja Designs are perfect for these gift bags because the papers are sturdy and will hold up to scoring, cutting and folding.

Step 1

Cut pattern paper 8" x 12".

Place the long edge along the Scor-Pal, score at  5", 6", 7".

This creates the base of the bag.

Step 2
Rotate and score at 1" and 7" creating the sides of the bag.
Cut in 1" along the scored lines at the bottom and remove this piece on both sides.
Accordian fold along the scored lines for the base.

Step 3

Fold along the 1" and 7" scored lines

Step 4
Place Scor-Tape along the sides and assemble the bag.

Step 5

Create a tag from the left over pattern paper.

Add a stamped sentiment on top and tie to the handles with May Arts Sheer White Ribbon.  I used Stamping Bella's Paulie has a Prezzie.

This paper is from the Vintage Baby collection.

 Next, I've created a more rounded bag.

To create the more rounded bag, follow steps 1 and 2.

Step 3

Add Scor-Tape along the edges of the sides.

Gently roll the paper to align the sides creating the rounded effect

Step 4

Create a tag from the left over pattern paper.

Add a stamped sentiment on top and tie to the handles with May Arts Sheer white Ribbon.

This paper is from Maja Design's Summer Crush collection - Meet her at the dance.

Think of all the fun bags you can create with your double sided papers.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Altered Notebook with Maja Designs

Hi everyone, today I've created an altered notebook using some amazing papers from Maja Design.

The Summer Crush collection from Maja Design is full of color and gorgeous designs.  I've used 4 different papers to create this notebook, tearing and inking each layer before adhering to the notebook.

 

I've used an awesome Indigoblu stamp from the Enjoy Life Red Rubber Stamp set which was inked with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  Spellbinders dies are always on hand to add interest to any project.  Scrapbook Adhesives from 3L added some dimension behind the stamp.

 

Along the edge, I used the cut off strip from one of the papers then used Beacon's Fabri-Tac to add a strip of lace and pearls where the papers meet.

Thanks for stopping by today.
