Heart Tree

This is the new September Tutti Designs released die called Heart Tree.  Isn't this just a beautiful die.  

This die is easy to cut out and could be used for several occasions.  I cut this die using red metallic card stock and sprayed the back some adhesive spray like the Elmer's Adhesive spray to stick to the embossed white/gold shimmer card stock.  If you use tweezers to hold the die cut while spraying it with the spray adhesive, the adhesive doesn't get on the fingers which isn't easy to get off. 

I added 4mm flat back pearls to the flowers in the die cut and 5mm flat back pearls around the gold frame.   I added white ribbon with a rhinestone heart slider buckle and glued it with adhesive tape.  I thought of adding the Love that was cut out with gold and white card stock to go with this gorgeous Tutti Designs Heart Tree die cut.  Lately, I have been gluing two sentiments together to give it some definition. 

To explore more ways of using this die as well as other Tutti Designs dies, visit our Tutti Designs designers on  the Tutti Designs Pinterest or Tutti Designs Facebook .

You'll want to be sure to pop over to the Tutti Designs Store and check out all the beautiful dies. You can order these gorgeous dies from Tutti Designs on-line store or the wonderful stores and companies that carries Tutti Designs dies.

Thank You card

I am back every Saturday and excited to show you cards that I made this month with the Tattered Lace Essential Pop Up Card die set that was purchased from The Rubber Buggy on-line store.  If you ever made a pop us card without this die set, there is a lot of measuring and scoring which takes time before you begin decorating the inside.  Well, Tattered Lace Design did all of this work for you and leaves you the fun of decorating it.  

These wonderful supplies were purchased at The Rubber Buggy on-line store.

Tattered Lace Essential Pop Up Box Set
NUVO-Glitter Drops White Blizzard
HeartFelt Creations-Arianna Blooms Collection

It is loads of fun decorating the Tattered Lace Pop Up Box with Wild Orchid Craft flowers, the gorgeous HeartFelt Creation Arianna Blooms Collection and using for the first time, the NUVO Glitter Drops.  

I love the NUVO Glitter Drops and plan to buy more colors.  Also, The Rubber Buggy has the new NUVO Glitter paste.  I used the NUVO Glitter Drops-White Blizzard.  I just love how the drops set up so nicely like a flat back pearl and the drops dry quickly.  I even used the same glitter on the leaves and butterflies.  

I have used the beautiful "Many Thanks" stamp in the Graphic 45- Time To Flourish Stamp Set #2.

I love the gorgeous flowers and sentiments in this stamp set.  

Graphic 45-Time To Flourish Stamp Set #2

The corners have the gorgeous NUVO Glitter Drops - White Blizzard and also some of the same glitter on the butterflies.  

This is the outside of the card when it is folded.  

Since I will be giving this card to my friend in person, I just tied a ribbon around it.  When she opens it up, it will look like the photo below.

 Now it is your turn to try these products out from The Rubber Buggy and see what you create! 

Remember to visit The Rubber Buggy store to shop for those gorgeous dies, stamp supplies and other supplies for all of your projects, scrap booking and card making.  You will be excited to hop on over to  The Rubber Buggy Blog and The Rubber Buggy Facebook each day to see what the talented and creative designers have made with products from The Rubber Buggy store.  

Thank you again for visiting me today.  I will be sharing with you next Saturday another exciting project or card made using the wonderful Rubber Buggy supplies.  

I am entering this card in the following challenge:

Christmas Card with the Kitty Window

This is the new September release called Kitty Window from Tutti Designs.  Isn't this die beautiful and you are probably thinking of all of the possibilities of how you would use it.  

Since Christmas is around the corner, I decided to cut this Kitty Window die with gold metallic card stock.  I added a scene behind the die and cut out a couple branches from the die cut to show more of the scene.  On the windowsill where the cats are sitting, I glued 

red roses, green pine twigs and a white bow.  

I embossed the shimmer paper with a brick embossing folder and added gold, red and white frames behind it.  Now, this Christmas card is ready to send to a friend or relative.  

To explore more ways of using this die as well as other Tutti Designs dies, visit our Tutti Designs designers on  the Tutti Designs Pinterest or Tutti Designs Facebook .

Male Birthday Tattered Lace Pop Up Card

I am back every Saturday and excited to show you cards that I made this month with the Tattered Lace Essential Pop Up Card die set that was purchased from The Rubber Buggy on-line store.  If you ever made a pop us card without this die set, there is a lot of measuring and scoring which takes time before you begin decorating the inside.  Well, Tattered Lace Design did all of this work for you and leaves you the fun of decorating it.  

 Last week, I showed you a birthday card for a female made with this wonderful Tattered Lace Pop Up die set.  I mentioned this last week but for those first time seeing a pop up card, I recommend viewing  instructions from  Lolli Lulu U-Tube video on how to make a pop up box card using the Tattered Lace Pop Up Box die set.  Additionally, she shows you how to use the square die with an X  in this set to make a gorgeous fan to add to the inside of the box in this card.

Tattered Lace Essential Pop Up Box die set

This is the front view of the card using the gorgeous Pion Design Mister Tom Treasure card stock.  The Rubber Buggy on-line store carries the full line of Pion Design Mister Tom Treasure card stock collection.  I cut this out using the squares from the tattered Lace Pop Up die set and distressed the edges with the Tim Holtz Distress Brush Corduroy Ink.  I cut out the gears using a Tim Holtz gear die and distressed it with a variety of Tim Holtz Distress ink and Prima Marketing-Art Alchemey-Metallique Steampunk Copper paint. 

I used the 1/4 " width Scor-Tape to tape all of the squares and embellishments inside the pop up box.  The Scor-Tape comes in different widths and it is worth having this top quality 

two-sided adhesive tape for many of my projects especially to tape a box, bows or flowers. The tape stays sticky when I remove the flowers and bow and rearrange these embellishments around the card or project. 

This is the top view of the card.  I used the antique license from the Pion Design Mister Tom Memory Notes.  I could image of using these antique licenses on this card stock for a variety of male cards. Isn't this paper just gorgeous!

The antique car die used on this card is from Tattered Lace and could be pre ordered through The Rubber Buggy on-line store. 

Now it is your turn to try these products out from The Rubber Buggy and see what you create!  Remember to visit The Rubber Buggy store to shop for those gorgeous dies, stamp supplies and other supplies for all of your projects, scrap booking and card making.  

You will be excited to hop on over to  The Rubber Buggy Blog and The Rubber Buggy Facebook each day to see what the talented and creative designers have made with products from The Rubber Buggy store.

Halloween Step Card

Welcome back to the Let's Craft and Create Challenge #118 Halloween/Fall or Autumn.  I love making Halloween projects and cards.  I have some old supplies mixed with new to share with you but these supplies can still be purchased at most places.  

 The little witch is from digital The Paper Shelters and I love using her for many of my Halloween cards for my grand daughters and nieces each year.  I colored this little witch with Copic markers and colored pencils and added some glitter glue.  The orange frame is the Sue Wilson Designs Ornate Pierced Rectangle die set.

I made the moon by cutting out a circle and using it as a stencil behind the little witch.  I colored the moon with an orange Copic marker and used orange glitter glue from Sparkles N Sprinkles. The bats inside the moon are from the Impression Obsession Halloween Hill die.  The spider webs were punched with a Martha Stewart spider punch as well as the edges of the inside of the card seen below.

I used the Cheery Lynn Step Card die to cut the shape of the card.  It is worth having since it also has dies in this set to cut out the sides, front and inside pieces.  I used the Cheery Lynn banner die for my Stampin Up Halloween sentiment stamp FaBOOlous and the Cheery Lynn Spider Doily Web die for the inside of the card. 

I really enjoy using each year using the Halloween words from the Frantic Stamper-Scary Words die set well as the crazy ghost from the Impression Obsession Ghostie die set.  

This gorgeous ribbon is called Orange Plaid Ribbon with Black Stitching from Really Reasonable Ribbon.com and the bow was made using the Zutter Bow Maker.  If you have any trouble making bows, the Zutter Bow Maker from Really Reasonable Ribbon is worth having.  

Hope our wonderful design team inspired you to make your Halloween projects and cards this year.  Stay tune for the next month for another wonderful challenge from Let's Craft and Create.  

I am entering this card in the following challenges:
Dies R Us Challenge #59 - Halloween /Fall

Lily of The Valley Frame

This is one of the new releases of the September Tutti Designs dies called 

Lily of the Valley Frame.  What a gorgeous die and easy to cut out.  This die could be used for many occasions.  

I cut this die out with white shimmer card stock and colored the leaves and stems with a soft green marker.  I cut out the center with an oval die and stamped the sentiment.  Before gluing the die cut on this card, I used a large 6mm ball stylus and paper molding pad and pressed down and rolled the stylus around in the center of each lily and leaf until it cups up. 

I cut out additional leaves from the die and colored these leaves with the same soft green marker and used 3D foam under each leaf and stuck them on top of the leaves to give it dimension.  

I added two square frames on top of the printed card stock.  I made my angel from a mold and made this bow using a bow maker.  Now this card is ready to send to a special person.

Also, Tutti Designs has another gorgeous lily die called  Lily of the Valley Bunch die that would be used on this card.

To explore more ways of using this die as well as other Tutti Designs dies, visit our Tutti Designs designers on  the Tutti Designs Pinterest or Tutti Designs Facebook .

You'll want to be sure to pop over to the Tutti Designs Store and check out all the beautiful dies. You can order these gorgeous dies from Tutti Designs on-line store or the wonderful stores and companies that carries Tutti Designs dies.

Birthday Pop Up Card with Tattered Lace Pop Up die set

For every Saturday this month, I will be sharing with you  Pop Up Box cards using the Tattered Lace Essentials-Pop Up Box die set from The Rubber Buggy on line store.   Just look at how many dies are in the set and no more figuring out the measurements and scoring of every layer in a pop up box card.  Lots of fun to make using this die set.  

I recommend viewing these thorough instruction from  Lolli Lulu U-Tube video on how to make a pop up box card using the Tattered Lace Pop Up Box die set.  Additionally, she shows you how to use the square die with an X  in this set to make a gorgeous fan to add inside the box of this card.

When you fold this box, it will set inside a envelope for mailing. I will be folding it and tying a  ribbon around the card this time since it will be given to her in person.  

This is the top view of the card.  I am using the stunning Heartfelt Creation Arianna Bloom paper collection and used the 1/4 " width Scor-Tape to tape all of the squares and also the flowers.  The Scor-Tape comes in different widths and it is worth having this top quality 

two-sided adhesive tape for many of my projects especially to tape a box or some of these flowers.  The tape stays sticky when I move the flowers and bow around the card or project.  

This is the back of the card.  The label, border and beautiful paper all came from the Heartfelt Creation Arianna Bloom paper collection.

Congratulations on Engagement

 Welcome back and I am so excited to share with you this gorgeous Tutti Designs Flowery Heart die.  Isn't it beautiful and you are probably imaging all of the gorgeous cards and projects that you will be create with this die.

This is a card that I made using this beautiful and intricate Flowery Heart die.  

I cut out one Flowery Heart die in shimmer white card stock and another one in lavender pink since I wanted some contrast.  I glued the pink heart on top of the white.  I added flowers, a white feather and a bow with a rhinestone heart ribbon buckle slider and glued all of this onto this patterned paper.

I love cupids and made my cupid out of a mold for this heart.

I cut out  white and pink square frames and glued it behind the patterned paper.  Now, I need to add a sentiment inside the card and this card is ready to send to a lovely couple.    

Reminder to visit the Tutti Designs Blog, Tutti Designs Pinterest and Tutti Designs Facebook to see what gorgeous cards that our talented designers have created for you using these gorgeous Tutti Designs dies each day.

Lily of the Valley

Hi- I am Nancy from Idaho and every Saturday, I am excited to share with you wonderful products and supplies from The Rubber Buggy on-line Store.

 The Rubber Buggy on-line store just got in the new September released Tutti Design dies and I am excited to share with you this gorgeous Tutti Designs die - Lily of The Valley Frame.  Can you image using this on your card for the perfect touch. 

I checked on-line and Lily of the Valley flower has beautiful biblical meanings.  Also, Lily of The Valley flowers are the May birth flowers and it means 'return of happiness'.  

I stamped the sentiment with the Misti Stamper and then glued the Lily die around it after coloring the leaves with a soft green Copic marker.  I wouldn't have used this stamp if I didn't have the Misti Stamper.  I pulled the rubber stamp off of the wood and taped it on the Misti Stamper.  I had to re ink this stamp several times to get it to come out but without the Misti Stamper, this stamp would be a throw away stamp since it never inked well on the wood.

I am using the stunning Heartfelt Creation Arianna Bloom paper collection.  This is the  6" x 6" from one of the papers in this collection.  On the bottom of the oval, I cut out a few more flowers and a butterfly from this paper collection and used 3D foam tape  to give it dimension.  

I added the Poppy Stamp Theo Butterfly die on top. I cut out another butterfly and colored it with pink and yellow Copic Markers and glued it behind the Theo Butterfly.  

I added two square frame cut with the top quality Bazzill card stock and glued a pink ribbon on the bottom of the Lily frame.  The Rubber Buggy has a variety of Bazzill card stock paper in their store.  You would be amazed of the quality of this card stock.  

Also, there is the newly September arrival  Tutti Designs Lily Of the Valley Bunch (shown below) that would be a wonderful addition to the other Tutti Designs Lily die.

These wonderful supplies were purchased at The Rubber Buggy on-line store.  Now it is your turn to try these products out from The Rubber Buggy and see what you create! 

Remember to visit The Rubber Buggy store to shop for those gorgeous dies, stamp supplies and other supplies for all of your projects, scrap booking and card making.  You will be excited to hop on over to  The Rubber Buggy Blog and The Rubber Buggy Facebook each day to see what the talented and creative designers have made with products from The Rubber Buggy store.
