Happy Easter and Scrolly Bunny

Hi, I am Nancy, Design Team for Tutti Designs.  I am amazed of all of the beautiful dies from Tutti Designs and excited to share with you one of the Easter dies in the Tutti Designs' January release called Scrolly Bunny.   




Supplies:
Tutti Designs Scrolly Bunny
Egg template
Patterned Paper
1/2" wide lace
1/8" wide ribbon
Ghostline Poster Board
Flowers
Leaves
Elastic ribbon
1/8" and 1/2" Scor-Tape




INSTRUCTIONS:  
I found this template on the web and used a photo editing software to enlarge it to 5" to 6 1/2".  I copied the template on computer paper and cut it out.  I traced the template twice on the back of the pattern paper and cut the two egg-shaped die cuts out.  



Since I make larger cards, I like using the Ghostline Poster Board.  Since it is a heavy weight paper, it does not warp and I find it best for making larger cards. 

On the Ghostline poster board paper, the lines show only on one side of the poster board.  I used the Ghostline side for the front and back of my card since it will be entirely covered when the card is completed.  Since the inside card of the poster board doesn't show the lines, it is perfect for using as the inside of my card for stamping the sentiment and signing the card.  


I traced the template and overlapped it in the center to fold the card.  Cut this out and score down the center and fold.  

First:  I glued the one pattern paper on the back and cut the remaining pattern paper that over laps to part of the front of the card.  

Second:  I used  1/8" wide Scor-Tape to tape the elastic ribbon on the back of the egg-shape pattern paper and glue this on the poster board that will be the front of the card (see below).    

Back and Front of card

Front of Card

I cut a 2 1/2" x 5" white shimmer card stock and used my template to cut around the ends of this white card stock to fit on the egg. I embossed the bottom of the white strip with a embossing folder and stamped the "Happy Easter" and glued it on the card.

I used 1/8" wide Scor-Tape across the top and bottom of the white strip and taped the lace and ribbon across the egg.  I used 1/2" Scor-Tape to tape my bow before adding the flowers and leaves.   I glued the Tutti Designs Scrolly bunny on the card.  

Last:  I used NUVO Crystal Drops - Ivory Seashell for the embossed flowers and top of the sentiment.  Now, this card is ready to be sent around Easter Time.

Wonderful You

The Rubber Buggy carries some of the most beautiful supplies like this Heartfelt Creations Blushing Rose Swirls stamp and Heartfelt Creations Blushing Swirls die set as well as the gorgeous 
Blue Fern Studio-Courtship-Lover's Lane paper.  I used Copic markers to color the roses and leaves.  I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using the Heartfelt Creations Blushing Swirls banner from this set.   

The NUVO-Crystal Drops-Gloss-Dandelion Yellow was used around the frame and the corners to finish this card.  I love how the NUVO drops form flat-back pearl-like shapes.  I am starting to have a nice collection of NUVO colors and would highly recommend NUVO Crystal Drops to you.  It looks like you need to cut the tip off when you first open the NUVO bottle but don't do that since it is ready to pour out.  (I made that mistake for awhile)

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.  

The Rubber Buggy Design Team has something new to share here.   Pop in often and see for yourself what is being shared by this talented group of inspiring designers!!

I'll be back again next Saturday with a new card or project.

In the meantime, here are all The Rubber Buggy quick links you will need:

Sympathy

Welcome back and have you seen the gorgeous Tutti Designs Word sets in the Tutti Designs December release.  Check HERE to see all 20 Word die sets.
Each word comes in two sizes and I have cut out both of the sizes to show you up close what each one would look like on my card.  




I used the larger Sympathy die on the my card.  The word dies are easy to cut out. I glued Sympathy on a gorgeous patterned card stock and added a ribbon.  I used NUVO Crystal Raspberry Pink drops to the corner and below the sentiment.  


Click HERE to see the  Tutti Designs dies but also watch for the January new released dies coming soon.

Happy Birthday Card to my Daughter

Welcome back and hope you are having a great 2017.  I need a few birthday cards this month and excited to share with you a birthday card to my daughter.  The Rubber Buggy on-line store carries the Heartfelt Creations collections of papers, dies and stamps that you will love to have for your next cards.  The Rubber Buggy has fast delivery and great customer service while carrying the top name brand craft and card making products.  


I made this card using the gorgeous Heartfelt Creations Blushing Rose, Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose and beautiful Heartfelt Creations Botanical Orchid Wishes Stamp set.  The gorgeous card stock is the Blue Fern Studio, Courtship-Lover's Lane.  I was able to make two cards with this one card stock.

I colored the Heartfelt Creations Classic Roses and Blushing Roses stamps with Copic markers and the hummingbirds with colored pencils and cut the roses out with the Heartfelt Creation Classic Rose and Blushing Rose die sets.  I dotted around the oval Spellbinder/Heartfelt die with NUVO Crystal Drops - Oyster Gray which isn't gray but a beautiful white pearl.  

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

My Daughter

 Let's Craft and Create has another exciting challenge #121 
"Things With Wings".  I hope you join us this month.  We enjoy seeing all of the wonderful cards and crafts posted each month.  


I made a book card with the Tattered Lace Essential Book die set which I was able to find at The Rubber Buggy Store.  I used the Cheery Lynn Lace Flourish Butterfly die.

I just love the Maja Design Vintage Romance Engagement card stock.  I used lavender card stock behind the front frame and used self adhesive strip borders around each book die frame.   

I always have flowers and ribbons on my card.  This is a rose colored seam binding ribbon with a Wild Orchid Craft rose in the center. I added  the Sue Wilson Designs Lace Edge Leaves around the bow.  

I typed and printed the sentiment on card stock and cut it out with the Sue Wilson Design California Decorative Frame B.

I cut out additional flowers and butterflies in this Pampered Pooch Collection paper to add a 3-D dimension on top of the flowers that were already on the paper.  Fun! Fun!

Love Tree

Welcome back and I am excited to share with you another gorgeous Tutti Designs die.  I hope to inspire you to make your next card using this gorgeous 
Tutti Designs Whimsical Love Tree die.   While visiting Tutti Designs.com to see this gorgeous new die, check out the other gorgeous November releases of Tutti Designs new Love and Heart dies by clicking HERE.



I couldn't wait to get started using this gorgeous die.  



Using the Tutti Designs - Whimsical Love Tree die and shimmer card stock, I cut out two die cuts using the smaller one for cutting out the butterfly. 

I added pink NUVO Crystal Glitter Drops to each heart and on the butterfly to give it more of a 3D effect and it brings out the hearts.  

I added Copic Markers BG31 that matches the blue green in the patterned paper.  I photograph this on navy blue paper to show more of the colors in this tree.  

When I add butterflies to my cards, I bend the center of the butterfly and curl the edges of the wings.  I only add glue to the center of the butterfly. 


I embossed the white frame, cut out four strips of pink card stock to add to the inside of the frame and used the same pink card stock to die cut the lacy trim on the outside edges of the frame.  Now, it is your turn to create a beautiful card or project using the Tutti Designs Whimsical Love Tree die.

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

After Christmas Thank You Card


Every Saturday, I am posting a card to share with you made with gorgeous dies, stamps and supplies from The Rubber Buggy.  The Rubber Buggy has fast delivery, wonderful customer service and great deals.  Check out all of the new arrivals every day.  

I am excited to share with you a Thank You card for the wonderful presents that we received for Christmas.  The Tutti Designs Swirling Thanks makes it easy to make those after Christmas Thank You cards along with the stunning Maja Designs Vintage Romance Engagement card stock and Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose stamp and Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose die set.  

I used dark pink ink to stamp the flower on white card stock and sponged it lightly with pink ink. 

Don't forget the gorgeous pearls that were made by the 
NUVO Crystal Drops Oyster Gray.   If you don't have this NUVO Crystal Drops Oyster Gray bottle, hurry up and order it right away since you will want this for your next card.  I really don't know why it is called Gray since the color is a gorgeous pearl white.

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