Merry Christmas with Lawn Fawn

Hi everyone, I've got a set of cards on the Rubber Buggy blog using 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.

Using Scor-Pal Scoring Tool, I scored cardstock to 5 1/2" x 11".

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.

Mixed Media Altered Jar

Hi everyone, I've got a new altered jar to share using lots of  fun products from the Rubber Buggy store.  Please visit the store for all the fun products I've used today.

I chose to alter a bell jar, but any size or shape of jar can be altered.  See what you have in your stash and let your creativity shine!

Use a spackle knife to cover the Stamperia Mould - Butterfly and Manuscripts, with Prima Marketing Old Silver Icing Paste.  Place a light even layer to cover the entire mould.

Allow the Icing Paste to dry and gently pull away from the Stamperia Mould.  I let it dry overnight, but simply test the mould to see when it's dry enough to remove from the mold.

Paint the jar with Prima Marketing Art Alchemy in Royal Blue and Ice Queen.

Allow the jar to dry then use Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Craft Glue to adhere the mould around the jar.  Depending on the size of your jar, the mould may not fit it completely, but I was fine with that.

Allow to dry completely, then add color using assorted Prima Marketing Art Alchemy Metallique Paints.  I used Gold Amber, Golden Moss, Fairy Wings, Dragon's Eye, painting the jar randomly.

Next, I used some of the same paints to paint some clay elements.  Then I used Prima Marketing Art Alchemy Magic Wax to add color to  Tim Holtz Ideaology mini gears and the clay elements.

Next, I assembled all items on the jar with Beacon 3-in-1Adhesive.  Then, I added some  Prima Marketing Art Stones about the jar.

Finally, I wrapped twine around the top of the jar and added  a Tim Holtz Ideaology Metal Quote Token.

Thank you for visiting.

Miss You Lots in purple

I'm on the Rubber Buggy blog today using the Tutti Designs - Rose Branch Frame.  Using white cardstock, I die cut it and adhered it to lavender cardstock using a Nuvo Glue Pen.

I used the Wplus9 - Miss you lots stamp and coordinating Miss you lots die with white cardstock. Then I colored the image with Copic Markers. 

She was added to the die cut opening on the card front with foam adhesives and the sentiment was slipped behind her.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hello Autumn Girl

Hi everyone, I'm on the Rubbery Buggy blog today with this fun Fall card. Have you checked out the store lately?  It has so many wonderful new products.

The base of my card is Bazzill Circus Peanuts.  The next layer is Bazzill Candy Bar.  The body of my card uses papers from the Prima Marketing Amber Bloom 6" x 6" paper pad.  I added a large Spellbinders oval on the card to hold the Stamping Bella image - Sunny is Stylish.

I colored Sunny is Stylish with assorted Copic Markers and fussy cut her before adding her to the oval with Scrapbook Adhesives foam squares for dimension.  Finally I cut a strip of Amber Bloom, matted it with cardstock and added it across the card.

Thank you for stopping by today.

Prima Gift Bags

Hi everyone, I love decorating bags to give as little gift packages.

I used Ranger Distress Ink to ink the bags.  Layers of pattern paper from Prima Marketing's Julie Nutting's 6" x 6" paper pad were added to the front.

Using some of the papers in the collection, I cut them to a variety of sizes, inked them and matted with Bazzill Peanut Cluster Cardstock.

The sentiment is from WPlus9 and was die cut and tied to each bag with Baker's Twine.

These are such fun projects to make whether you need something for a small gift or even a gift card to make it more personal.

Thanks for stopping by.

Merry Fairy with Lemon Craft

Hi everyone, I have a fun card to share with you today using lots of products from the Rubber Buggy store.

Using my Scor-Pal, I created a card from Bazzill  cardstock.  The next layers are from the Lemon Craft Christmas Carols 6x6 pad.  Each layer of Lemon Craft was angled and matted with cardstock.

On top of these layers, I added a Decorative Oval from Heartfelt Creations, then wrapped the panel with White Lace May Arts ribbon.  This panel was added to the card with 3D foam adhesives.

I stamped the Penny Black image - Fairy Holly - on Neenah White cardstock, then colored her with Copic Markers.  I wanted her to be free so I fussy cut her before adding her with foam adhesives.

Merry is a Spellbinders die which was die cut from red and brown cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by.
