Steampunk Stamperia

Graduation is upon us and I am excited to share two steam puck graduation cards that I made for males with the Stamperia 12 x 12 Voyages Fantastiques paper collection.

Stamperia 12 x 12 Voyages Fantastiques paper collection

 The Rubber Buggy carries these major name-brand craft supplies with fast delivery and wonderful customer services.

I love working with Stamperia paper collections.  I used Prima Marketing Finnabair Mechanicals Set Harware Accent hardware and Prima Marketing black gesso with the Prima Marketing Art Alchemy Metallique wax Rose Gold and Prima Marketing Acrylic paints such as Rush Gold cans to cover the gears. I used a paint brush for the gesso and paint and rubbered the wax on the gears with my fingers.  I used a hot glue gun to adhere the metal embellishments on the card.  Otherwise, I used the Beacon 3-n-1 Advanced glue to adhere the layers of paper.   Some of the gears were cut out with a die such as the Memory Box Deluxe Gear set die and Memory Box Gear Assembly die set.  Also added were embellishments which are discontinued but very similar to Tim Holtz Idea-ology Metal Adornments collections.  In the card below, the beautiful amber stone is from the Prima Marketing Finnabair Art Ingredient Melange - Vintage Art Pebbles.

Below is the paper that I used in the Stamperia 12 x 12 Voyages Fantastiques paper pad to make my cards.

Congratulations on Your Graduation

Welcome back and I am excited to share a shabby chic Graduation card.  Hard to believe that graduation is here already.  The Rubber Buggy has all of those name brand products with wonderful customer service for your next project.

Pion Design Sweet Baby Forget Me Not

I love the quality and patterned papers of the Pion Design collections.  The Rubber Buggy just received the newest arrivals of the Pion Design.  Also, I cut out the lace paper and butterfly from the the Pion Design Linneaus Botanical Journal paper.   I used my sewing machine to stitched the edges.

The scroll was made using the Prima Marketing Vintage Art Decor-Louis mould with the Prima Marketing Paper Clay and another one with the Stamperia Soft Paper clay to try out the brands.  So far, I prefer the Stamperia Extra Light Soft Paper clay but will need more practice with the Prima Marketing Paper Clay.   

Make sure to sprinkle baby powder or regular corn starch in any mould before using inserting the  paper clay in the mold.  Otherwise, you most likely will have problems with breaking the scrolls when getting the scrolls out of the mould.  Also, I use just Beacon 3 n 1 Advanced glue when my scroll breaks getting it out of the mould.  I used a paint brush and applied white gesso from the Prima Marketing Finnabiar Art Basic collection to the scrolls.  When dried, I sprayed some water on my coral ink pad and applied the ink on the scrolls along with some Prima Marketing Gold Rush colored metallic paste.  I used the Beacon 3 n 1 Advanced glue to adhere the scrolls on the card. 

I typed and printed the sentiment and die cut it with an oval die.  I sponged the sentiment along with the edges of the card with the Tim Holtz Distress Antique Linen ink and framed with a chipboard that was coated with Prima Marketing Art Alchemy Rose Gold  paint.

I used my fingers to apply Prima Marketing white gesso from the Prima Marketing Finnabiar Art Basic collection and then Prima Marketing Art Alchemy Rose Gold wax to the metal corner embellishments and used a hot glue gun to adhere the metal to the corner of the card.  I used my fingers and applied the same wax along with the Prima Marketing Gold Rush on top of the wax to the chipboard.  I end up with a lot of gold fingers that washes off with soap and water.

Miss Stampin Bella Uptown Girl Party Time

Time to Party!!!  Welcome back and I am excited to share a birthday card for my grand daughter's birthday.  I just love this little Stamping Bella - Uptown Girls - Eva Loves to Celebrate along with the gorgeous Lemon Craft Sense and Sensibility paper collection.   I colored Eva with Copic Markers and cut out with a Sue Wilson Designs - Noble Dies - Double Pierced Rectangle
stitched frame die. I glued on some lace with Beacon 3 n 1 Advanced clear glue around her skirt.  I added 3mm flat back pearls around the outside frame.  I made the LeCrea Design foam flowers and paper flowers with various Heartfelt Creation flower dies and added a handmade bow behind the flowers.  I sewed on one layer of the blue paper and used my fingers to distress the edges of the paper.  I used 1/2" wide Scor-Tape to adhere the scallop lace to the edge of the horizontal cut out paper that also had the edges distressed with my finger nails.  For the finish touch, I adhered 6 mm flatback pearls such as the Attic Pearl to the top and bottom of the card.

Baby Easel Card

I had so much fun making this easel card for a baby shower.  I used the Tattered Lace stroller die with the Cheery Lynn French Pastry Doily die which is my favorite doily die due to the perfect size for most of my cards.  I had made the baby using a mold and paper clay.  I colored the baby is Copic Markers since I wanted soft and pastel colors.  The gorgeous paper is Graphic 45 Baby to Bride.  I added some Wild Rose Studio roses next to the baby.

Birthday Card

Welcome back and Nancy, here.  I am excited to share a birthday card made for my granddaughter made with the beautiful Lemon Craft Sense and Sensibility paper collection.  

  I cut out the front of the card with a rectangle frame die and sprinted some water on the edges on the back of the paper for that tattered worn out appearance.  Again, I  used my finger nails on the edges to wear out more of the edges to give it the tattered look before lightly sponging on some Tim Holtz Distress Tattered Rose ink colored cream on the edges for the old vintage appearance.  I used my sewing machine and sewed the top layer to the cut out Lemon Craft patterned paper that was cut out with a larger rectangle frame die.  I used my finger to smear the chipboard with Prima Marketing Vintage Silk Metallique Wax.

 I copied the sentiment on Word and printed it out and cut it out with a circle die.  I used the
Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced glue to adhere the chipboard and sentiment onto the card. Before I added the flowers, I cut out some cheese cloth and glued on the card before adding the handmade flowers.

I handmade the flowers using foamiran and Cheery Lynn Design, Lady E Design and Elizabeth Craft flower dies  and adhered the flowers on the card with a hot glue gun and added a handmade coral colored bow.     I cut out the leaves using the Heartfelt Creations Leafy Accent die set and edged the leaves with a darker green before molding and shaping the leaves and gluing behind the flowers.

Samples of this gorgeous two-sided paper in the Lemon Craft Sense and Sensibility paper collection.  I used the left top corner below for this card.
