Lawn Fawn Ten Year Cactus Birthday Card

Welcome back and Nancy, here, to share a fun birthday card for my grandson who requested a cactus card for his birthday from all of the adorable Lawn Fawn stamps in my collection.  Easy peasy birthday card that was stamped and fussy cut with the Lawn Fawn Year Ten stamp collection for the cactus and flowers and first colored with Copic markers.  The hills were cut out with the Lawn Fawn Slimline Stitched Hillside border and sponged on the Ranger Crackling Campfire and Ranger Wild Honey ink for the hillside and sky.  I sprayed on the Lindy's Stamp Gang Shimmer Spray-Victorian Bouquet using the purple spray for the sky and green bottle for the hillsides.

I cut out a sun from my Brother's Scan and Cut and stamped on the Lawn Fawn Reveal Wheel Circle Sentiments that also has the sun glasses with this stamp set.  

  So get crafting and have a fabulous  day and thanks for visiting.

Prima Marketing Nocturnal Element mould and Stamperia Cosmos

 

 

Welcome back and Nancy, here to share a fun card made with the gorgeous Stamperia Cosmos along with the Prima Marketing mould-Nocturnal Elements.  In the evening and looking up at the night sky in wonder with beauty of the moon and stars and the animals and birds looking for their prey, the Stamperia Cosmos with the Prima Marketing mould-Nocturnal Elements are gorgeous together.

I created a U-Tube on my techniques to creating the casting from the Prima Marketing Nocturnal Element mould.  I am starting to get the hand of this and wanted to share what I have found successful so far working with these moulds using an epoxy resin which is much easier than working with clays, etc. for me. 

I used both a hot glue gun and Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced Glue. to adhere the casting on the card and prefer the glue. 

This time I used the Prima Marketing Clear Gesso on the castings and let dry before sponging and brushing on the waxes on the moon and stars.

I added two Prima Marketing Finnabair Melange Art Pebble to additional accent to the card.  I am really loving the Prima Marketing waxes and especially the Prima Marketing Redesign Wax-Brass that was added to the stars along with the Prima Marketing new wax Old White and some of the older Prima Marketing metallic waxes.  

 Have a fabulous crafting day and thanks for visiting.

Prima Marketing Pipeline Mould Video

Welcome back and Nancy, here. Father's Day is around the corner and there is still plenty of time to  to create a card like this one.

 I am getting so excited working with moulds lately.  I use an epoxy resin which is easy to use and comes out of the Prima Marketing moulds so well.  The epoxy resin set comes in two bottles and I mix two tablespoons of each in a cut and stir for two minutes and then pour in the moulds and set for about 12 hours depending on the depth of the mould.  I bend the moulds and the casting pops almost out.  I gently pull the casting out of the mould.  I cover each casting with a gesso which I used in the video the Prima Marketing Clear Gesso.  I let dry and then brush or sponge on the Prima Marketing metallic waxes.  Note, wear gloves with this along with covering the table with plastic garbage bags or something you can throw away since the resin gets all over the place.  Also, I used a clay knife to get the resin back in the casting in the mould as much as possible.  When it dries, there will be a little left over resin around the casting which will be removed with you fingers, therefore, less resin around the casting can be prevented with using a clay knife after pouring to get as much resin that is on top back into the casting.  Also, pour slowly but I used my clay knife and scrap it in the cup and let it dripped into the casting so that the resin don't over flow.  In a few months of working with these moulds, I will probably have a better technique in pouring the resin in these moulds.  

I used the Tim Holtz Sizzix gears dies for some of the gears.

After the gesso dries, I covered all of the pipeline casting with the The Prima Marketing Re-Design Decor Wax Brass and then brushed a little Prima Marketing Firebird was on the pipes.

The video explains the techniques that I used with both the Prima Marketing Rusty Pipeline and Prima Marketing Nocturnal Element moulds.  I will be doing another blog next week using the Prima Marketing Nocturnal Element mould which you will definitely want for numerous projects since the star, face and moon coordinates well with many cards and projects.

I had an ole Tim Holtz embossing folder that I ran through my machine with black paper.  I used a sponge as well as a crafting makeup brush which is similar to Picket Fence Studio Blender Brushes to adhere the Prima Marketing The Prima Marketing Re-Design Decor Wax Brass  and Prima Marketing Firebird wax on the paper.  I accidentally left one brush dry with the wax and thought it was a throw away.  To my surprise, I used warm water and soap and the wax and glue washed out.

I used the Beacon 3-n-1 Advanced glue to adhere the pipes to the card and a hot glue gun to adhere the one metal gears to the card.  I typed out the sentiment and printed it out on cream paper and then covered it with Tim Holtz Distress Collage Medium Vintage but possible the Distress Vintage Photo ink could also be applied to get the same results.

I am entering my card in the following challenges: 

TFJB Challenge:  Anything Goes

SanDee & Amelie's Steampunk May/June Challenge

Creative Artiste Mixed Media Challenge:  71

So get crafting and have a fabulous  day and thanks for visiting.

Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up Birthday Card

 Your cards will be out of this world by creating a scene with the entire solar system and these cute little aliens!  Nancy, here, and I am excited to share my fun to make birthday card with you.  This Lawn Fawn Out Of This World and Lawn Fawn Beam Me Up stamp and die sets are wonderful for special occasions like birthdays and graduations, and for science and space lovers!  The Rubber Buggy has the wonderful name-brand products you will want to create your next beautiful card and craft projects.  

I sponged the background with Distress Oxide inks:  Black Soot, Chipped Sapphire, Picked Raspberry, Fossilized Amber and Lawn Fawn White Ink.  I mixed a little water with white Perfect Pearl powder but white acrylic paint will do as well and used a toothbrush with my fingers to spray on the card for the galaxy for the front and inside of the card.  Before adhering the Lawn Fawn images and clouds to the card, I used a can of Gloss Spray found in a hardware on the card to have a touch of shimmer on the sky for the front and inside of the card.  I let dry for an hour due to my sensitivity to the smell of the spray before gluing the images.

I stamped the images with the Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.  I cut out two Lawn Fawn Puffy Cloud Border clouds for the front of the card with white cardstock and vellum.  I cut out the Lawn Fawn Pop Up Birthday die and sponged on the same Distress inks.  I adhered the card with the Beacon 3-in-1 Advanced glue.  Also, I added a touch of white Lawn Fawn Ink with a cotton swab to the stamped stars.

You

I handmade the foamiran flowers to this card.  

I fussy cut the butterfly from the Ciao Bella MicroCosmos and added NUVO Crystal Glaze that dried overnight before adhering it to the card.  I cut out Thanks from the Graphic 45 Folder and Sentiment die set using gold metallic cardstock.  

 I added doilies and die cut frames behind each frame and added a thank you sentiment to each card.  My favorite frame is the Graphic 45 Staples Policy and Decorative die that was die cut in white cardstock and I cut out a gold metallic rectangle to add to this frame.  I added a Wild Orchid Craft daisy flower to the center of the handmade bow.

Ciao Bella Microcosmos Pattern Paper

Stamperia Sweety Birthday card

Welcome and hope you are having a wonderful weekend.  Super cold and snowy  where we live today.  Therefore, a crafty weekend indoors for me.  Nancy, here, to share a fun Stamperia Sweety paper with the Lawn Fawn Happy Birthday Pop up die and Scrapiniec Happy Birthday chipboard for a birthday card for my grand daughter.  Since the Lawn Fawn Happy Birthday Pop Up die is 5 1/2" long, my card measures 5 1/2" across on the score line.  The coral flower is from a older Prima Marketing flower set but there are so many Prima Marketing flower packages available at the Rubber Buggy to coordinate with this gorgeous paper pad which is one of my favorites of Stamperia.  

Make sure to check out the new arrivals of chipboard especially from Scrapiniec and others for all of your crafting needs.
