Graphic 45 Fairy Wishes Gift Box

Welcome back and Nancy, here. Come find the magic of creating with the Graphic 45 Fairy Wishes collection!  It is just the prettiest collection with vivid colors and lots of pretty flowers, and fairies of course!  

I am excited to share with you my gift box for my granddaughter's birthday that will be filled with gifts that was made with the new Graphic 45 Fairy Wishes collection.  This beautiful collection is filled with images of fairies, florals, and yellow butterflies that flutter about with backgrounds of soft pink and purple violets galore.  

I purchased on-line the Darice Unfinished Wooden Box, 12” x 9.125” x 3.25 and painted the inside with green Chalk paint.  I used Scor-Tape and Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Glue to adhere the Graphic 45 Fairy Wings paper to the top and around the wooden box.

 I typed and printed the name with a laser printer and then used a laminator to foil the name.  The frame is a sticker included in this collection.  I traced this sticker on heavy cardstock three times and cut it out and adhered it together to form the height to give a 3D appearance.  I added Tim Holtz brads to the sticker frame and 3mm flat back pearls around her name.  I added the hearts from the Dress My Crafts-Sequins-Pink Celebration. 

I hand crafted my flowers with foamiran and handmade a coral ribbon and adhered all with  hot glue gun.  I adhered a metal butterfly and metal covers after covering it with Prima Marketing Art Alchemey Ginger Sparks paint.  I added NUVO glitter pen through the front of the box.
Throughout the card, I adhered the Dress My Crafts-Sequins-Pink Celebration to parts of the card. I love the tiny hearts and stars in this jar along with the clear shimmering sequins that add sparkle to this fairy project.

Venice lace was added around the box using Scor-Tape and Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Glue.

I painted the inside of my box with green Chalk paint and let dry. I cut out the different frames from the collection and used the glue to adhere to the Graphic 45 Fairy Wishes paper for the top and bottom.  I cut out the doilies and added it behind some of the fairy frames.

Thanks for your visit today!  I have so much fun making these gift boxes and hope you will too.  So have fun crafting this weekend with these products.   My cards and projects are always posted on Saturday.  Keep watching and thank you so much for those wonderful comments as well as suggestions. 

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!

Lavinia Reindeer Deer Trio

I am excited to share my Lavinia Stamp - Small Reindeer stamped with Versafine Clair black ink with the Memory Box Deer Trio die that was cut out with black cardstock.

First I created the background sponging on Distress Black Soot, Sapphire Blue, and Blueprint Sketch inks.  The trees are from the Heartfelt Creations Woodsy stamp with Distress Sapphire Blue.

I created the moon by punching out a circle and coloring the inside with Distress Black Soot and Sapphire Blue.  I used the tip of my sponge and sponged on some of the blue on the moon.  I used white pen for the snow.

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!

Graphic 45 Fairy Wishes

Welcome back and Nancy, here. Come find the magic of creating with the Graphic 45 Fairy Wishes collection!  I am excited to share with you my cards made with the new Graphic 45 Fairy Wishes collection.  This beautiful collection is filled with images of fairies, florals, and yellow butterflies that flutter about with backgrounds of soft pink and purple violets galore.  

The Graphic 45 Fairy Wishes collection 12" x 12" paper pad includes two pages of stickers.  Make sure to check out The Rubber Buggy site for the additional Graphic 45 Fairy Wishes papers and embellishments that you will want to purchase that coordinate with the collection as well.  

Throughout the card, I adhered the Dress My Crafts-Sequins-Pink Celebration to parts of the card. I love the tiny hearts and stars in this jar along with the clear shimmering sequins that add sparkle to my fairy cards.  I stamped the sentiment on the sticker included in this collection.  I traced the sticker on heavy cardstock five times and cut it out and adhered it together to form the height for my easel card to lay against.  I added the Wild Orchid Craft flowers with a hot glue gun and fussy cut the butterflies in this collection to add to parts of the easel card.

I made this easel card with additional card attached to the bottom of the easel. I printed out the sentiment with my laser printer  to get the toner ink and used rainbow transfer foil and laminator to get the foil on the sentiment.   I fussy cut the fairy and attached this to the  inside of the card.  

I cut out the sentiment from this paper on the left and fussy cut the fairies and flowers from the other paper in this pad and adhered to the card using the Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced glue.  To frame the sentiment, I cut another sentiment and adhered in the center around the purple and dark blue frame.

Lawn Fawn Magic Iris Tutorial Final

Welcome back and hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  Nancy, here, and I created my own tutorial for you to print out and follow if you are doing the Lawn Fawn Magic Iris for the first time.  The Rubber Buggy has all of the supplies and products you will need for crafting this card. 

 I would highly recommend you to view the Lawn Fawn tutorial, click here, as well.  I still had problems with assembling the Magic Iris after watching the Lawn Fawn tutorial so I thought I would do a written tutorial for you with lots of photographics and also go over some of the tips and technique that helped me since I had a few throw-aways and this can become very frustrating when the Magic Iris can't open up after hard work assembling all three layers.  

There will be three layers to the Magic Iris and I will highly recommend that you have fairly new Mini Dots that aren't slightly dried out or fast adhesive tacky glue for adhering the green tabs only on the PLUS SIGN that is included in the die cut and possibly two-sided tape for the brown tabs.

Lawn Fawn Magic Iris Die Set

Lawn Fawn A Bug Deal Stamp

Lawn Fawn Magic Iris Circle Scalloped Add-On

Since I had the Lawn Fawn Scallop Circles die set, I used it for this card.

Additional supplies:  Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Glue, Lawn Fawn Grassy Border Die, 1/2" Wide Scor-Tape, Mini Glue Dots, Scrapbook Adhesive ED Foam 

Step #1:  Cut out 3 circles, 3 green tabs, 3 brown tabs, 1 orange tab and 1 red tab.  NOTE:  I have colored each section a different color to make it easier for you to follow the steps. Unfortunately, I have added other photos of my other Magic Iris since the photos came out clearer.   Normally, I would have cut all the die cuts in white 80lb cardstock but used different colored circles for better guiding you through this assembly.  I numbered each circle for each layer.

Stamping the tab tip:  Easier to take the  the green tabs and then put each tab into the cardstock and then into a stamp tool and stamp the leafs.

Step #2:  Take this die and align along the center of the circle and die cut.  

 Sample on the right of after the circle has been die cut with this die.

 Step #3:  Take each green die cut and insert in each tab but DO NOT Glue yet.

 Step #4:  Each green die cut has a plus that has been cut through each of the green cardstock.  Add small glue dots of just a small (tiny) drop of glue on each plus mark.  (NOTE:  Since I haven't used my glue dots for years, the dots were dried out and didn't adhere well.  Therefore, had to purchase new ones.  Sometimes glue works as well but only a dot). Might have to align the green tabs again perfectly on the inside and outside of the circle with your fingers since these tabs move around by holding them.

 Step #5:  Take the #2 Orange circle, align on top of the green tabs and press down which will adhere the two layers together.

 Step #6:  Turn over the circle over and use two-side adhesive tape on each die cutted stitched rectangle that was on the circle.  (See photo above for arrow where stitched rectangle).

Step #7:  Adhere the three brown tabs and bend over to the front of the orange circle.

Step #8:  Note the above and below photo. Using a different sample:  Adhere the printed tab with the arrow on the pink tab and then adhere this pink tab on the right side of the brown tabs that will be on the right side of the card.

Step #9:  Lay the white or blue circle on top of the orange circle.  Take each brown tab and adhere to the top the blue or white circle.  NOTE:  Make sure to not get glue or tape stuck on the inside of the layers as well as don't get the tabs wrapped tightly on the next circle.  

Step #10:  Now you should be able to move the orange tab with the arrow back and forth for the Magic Iris to open and close.  Again:  I ended up with dried up Mini Dots and used a slight amount of glue.  Let dry before trying to open the Magic Iris.  Also, don't stamp next to the Plus Sign for the glue since glue and especially the Mini Dots will not adhere and pop right off when opening the Magic Iris.  Note Blue Example when closed with the arrow next to the tab.

Step #11. You can stamp the image of the circle cut out of the Magic Iris and adhere in the center of the Magic Iris on the frame.  I did it different on my second card and traced the center of the Magic Iris on the frame of my card, stamped my sentiment and then glued the Magic Iris on top of the sentiment.  Optional:  I used foam adhesive tape to adhere the Magic Iris on the frame after gluing the Magic Iris Scalloped Circle on the Magic Iris.

I had so much fun making these cards and hope you will too.  So have fun crafting this weekend with these products.   My cards and projects are always posted on Saturday.  Keep watching and thank you so much for those wonderful comments as well as suggestions.

Ahoy Matey

Arrrrgh you ready for adventure? Nancy, here, to share a card made with the Lawn Fawn Ahoy, Matey stamp and Lawn Fawn Ahoy, Matey die set.  This adorable stamp set has adorable pirates with a treasure chest and a treasure map where X marks the spot!

I stamped with the Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.  I cut out the 

Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside dies with brown and blue cardstock.  I added some dark brown ink that was watered down with a little water and tapped it with a brush to get the brown sprinkles.  I stamped the dark blue waves using the waves in this Lawn Fawn Ahoy, Matey stamp set.  

I used an sharp blade to cut through the brown sandy cardstock for the treasure chest and one palm tree.

I did my clouds with the beautiful Ranger Distress Tumbled Glass Ink which I use for almost all of the sky scenes in my cards and Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Border die which could be substituted for the Lawn Fawn Cloud Stencil..  I just love using the Picket Fence Studio brushes for sponging now.  I created an U-Tube video on how I did my clouds.

Before adding the pivot die, I sponged on Distress Oxide ink pads to make the sky and Distress brown inks for the big map.  I just used a black ink pen for the stitching in the map.

I added the Lawn Fawn Pivot Popup Die Set for the inside of the card.  This set includes everything you need to create a four-panel pop-up scene that twists open inside your card! Use the included hills, trees, and clouds to decorate your scene with the panels as a starting point to create your own pop-up masterpiece!  This panel can be used on a portrait or landscape side of the card.  You will need to watch the video on assembling the pivot before you begin.  Lawn Fawn made a video that goes through the steps.  Click on Here to take you to this video.   

I adhered the card using the Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced glue.
