Alice Tea Party Birthday Card Graphic 45

Grab a cup of tea and visit with me today as we create a bit of magic with the new Graphic 45 Alice in Wonderland Tea Party collection. Nancy, here, to share a very fun card with the new arrival of of Alice's favorite cast of characters especially the adorable Alice's bunny.  You will love the soft blues, grass greens, and precious corals and pinks.  The Rubber Buggy carries the entire collection and you won't want to miss out of having this in your crafting supply this year.  

My card measures 6" x 6" and I just added the stickers and fussy cut out some of the cups and characters to glue to my card.  Graphic 45 ribbon has also has ribbon that matches some of the colors in each paper collection. I fussy cut out the images from the paper pad but if I had it, I would have used the Graphic 45 journal cards and empirical die cuts with the stickers that comes inside the Graphic 45 paper pad deluxe collection but also each sold separately.  I added a die cut for the inside of the card that was cut out from an ole die and sponged on some Ranger Distress ink to blend in with the pinks in the card.  Then I rolled up the die strip and unfolded to give it that realistic look of lace before gluing to the top of the inside of the card.  

To get that beautiful gold sentiment on cardstock, I typed the sentiment and printed on cardstock on my toner ink printer and then ran the cardstock through my laminator with gold foil on top. If you don't have a toner ink printer, take you printed out cardstock to a printing shop that has a toner ink printer since most printer shops use toner.     

Also, Scrapiniec Wonderland has several chipboards of Alice In Wonderland that coordinates beautifully well with this story.

Alice In Wonderland Tea Party Gift Box

Welcome to the continuation of my projects of Alice's story with added characters and new items such as playing cards and Alice becoming Queen using the Graphic 45 Alice in Wonderland Tea Party collection, Stamperia Alice in Wonderland chipboards and Scrapiniec Wonderland chipboards for altering a wooden gift box for my sis.   Nancy, here, to share a very fun mixed media project with Alice's favorite Wonderland fantasy characters showcasing Alice's bunny throughout my project. Alice spots this white rabbit and tumbles down a hole after him which leads her to a magical place called Wonderland.  The Rubber Buggy carries these entire collections of Alice in Wonderland and you won't want to miss out of having these collections in your crafting supply to create your projects and cards.  





Box measures 6" square. I unscrewed the hard ware on the wooden box before covering it with Graphic 45 Alice's Tea Party paper.   I used Beacon 3-n-1 glue and a hot glue gun throughout my project.  I used Scrapbook 3D foam tape adhesive for under the characters that I fussy cut out like the bunny and tea pots.  I colored  the Scrapiniec chipboards with Copic markers but any colored ink or acrylic paint could be used. I sponged on Distress ink on the inside wood of the box to blend in with the paper.  I used many of the stickers from the collection and fussy cut many of the characters as well as the Stamperia Alice's In Wonderland chipboard.  I finished the project with the Graphic 45 pink flowers.

Southwestern Birthday Card Prima Marketing Golden Desert










 

Welcome back and Nancy, here, to share a tri-fold shutter card made with the beautiful Prima Marketing Golden Desert collection and Prima Marketing Desert Mold with acrylic paints and waxes available at The Rubber Buggy.

 I grew up in the Southwest and loved my desert adventures through the gorgeous flowering cactus, red rocks, and desert flowers.  I think of the colors of turquoise, coral and rich reddish brown, golden yellow colors so the Prima Marketing Golden Desert collection inspired me to make this tri-fold shutter card.  The Prima Marketing Golden Desert mold has the adorable desert cactus with the stars and beautiful cowboy boot which made me want to use this for a Southwestern card. 

Supplies:
Prima Marketing-Redesign-Element Wax
Epoxy Resin (non-toxic)
Tim Holtz Metal Arrow Adornment

  


GATHER YOUR EQUIPMENT

Epoxy resin comes in two bottles.  Make sure you get the non-toxic epoxy resin, otherwise, the entire house will smell like this resin

  • Disposable latex or reusable rubber gloves
  • Clean mixing cups 
  • Clean mixing sticks
  • Small plastic (measuring cup)
Ensure you are always starting with clean cups and brushes to avoid any dirt or debris from falling into the resin mixture. Next, dispense the resin and hardener into a clean plastic cup. An accurate ratio is essential for epoxy to fully cure and develop its physical properties. 

Wear rubber gloves and I like the reusable surgical or hospital gloves.  The epoxy is sticky and hard to get off the hands after a few washes.  If I get some on my hands, I use a farmer's soap to clean my hands as much as possible and then put lotion on to get rid of the left over stickiness. 

  1. After the two parts are poured at the correct ratio, mix them together thoroughly for a full 2 - 3 minutes with a mixing stick. Mix longer for larger quantities.
  2. Be sure to scrape the sides, corners, and bottom of the container several times during mixing. This will ensure that all the hardener is thoroughly mixed with the epoxy and should prevent the resin from having an improper cure.
  3. Make sure to scrape both sides of the mixing cup also. If the mixture doesn't have a single consistency (streaks remain), continue mixing until fully blended
  4.  I mixed about a teaspoon of mica powder in the resin and stir.  If you get bubbles in the resin while stirring, just tap the bottom of the cup before pouring and you can also use the scalping tool to pop the bubbles.
  5.  I lay my mold on a flat surface but I have an ole tile covered with a plastic store bag to throw away the next day if I get too much resin on it.  Try not to pour over the mold castings but this is when I get the expire credit card, or Mod Podge scrapper to get all of the excess resin on top of the mold.  Let dry over night but for larger deep mold, I let dry up to 18 hours.
  6. With a silicone mold, it is easy to pop out each mold/casting.  I still do it gently on moldings with fine detail.  Occasionally, you will have extra resin on the edges of the moldings.  I use scissors to cut the extra away.
The fun part begins by using your fingers or a Prima Marketing brush to apply the Prima Marketing waxes or acrylic paint to the resin.  I use a hot glue gun to adhere the castings on any card or project.

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