Magnolia Mother Mary and Jesus

Welcome back and time to gather those craft supplies to make your Christmas cards for this year with The Rubber Buggy on-line store that has all of the name-brand products and supplies for your cards and project.  Order these supplies soon before supplies are sold out.  

I just love making Christmas cards right now.  I made this card using the adorable Magnolia Stamp Tilda With Holy Baby stamp.  

I colored this and the scroll with Copic Markers and used the NUVO Glitter Gold paste for the top of their heads and let dry. I love the colors that come in the NUVO Glitter paste for my Christmas cards.  I dip my flower molding tool in the jar and apply it on my images and let dry.  I cut it out and used the Scrapbook Adhesive 3D Foam Squares on the back and to the Heartfelt Creations O Holy Night paper.  I used the Heartfelt Creations O Holy Night Scroll stamp and Heartfelt Creations O Holy Night Scroll die set to make the scroll.  I colored the rest of the scroll with Copic Markers and applies the NUVO Crystal Drops White Blizzard to the candle on the scroll and on the angles' wings behind Mother Mary.  

I stamped and die cut  two Heartfelt Creation O Holy Night Merry Christmas with the bow with gold and green cardstock.  I cut out Merry Christmas words from the gold cardstock and glued it on the green die cut out. I used a red Copic Marker for the bow.  I stamped two Heartfelt Creation O Holy Night Scroll pine cone stamps on light brown cardstock and die cut it out using the Heartfelt Creations O Holy Night Scroll die.  I colored the pine needles with a dark green Copic Marker.  I used a dark Copic Marker around the inside of the dark colored parts of the pine cone.  I used a flower molding tool on the back of the pine cone to give it a 3D appearance.  I used the Beacon 3 in 1 glue on the back of the Merry Christmas die cut to the edges of the pine cones and then adhered it to the card.  I used the NUVO Crystal Drops Rhubard Crumble  to the berries on the card.

Birthday Card for Sis

Welcome and Nancy Hill for The Rubber Buggy Design Team.  I am excited to share my card with you made with the gorgeous coordinating papers, dies and stamps sets from Heartfelt Creations that is sold at The Rubber Buggy.com online store..  This collection is call the Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower set.

Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower Paper

Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower Die Set

Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower Stamp Set

US Artquest Prills - Go-Man-Go

US Artquest Prills - Express  O Yourself

This card measures 5 3/4" x 8" on the outside.  I cut out the top left frame found in the Heartfelt Creations 12" x 12" paper pad.  Look at the many gorgeous frames just on this one page in this paper pad.

I added frames cut out with Bazzill Banana Split yellow, burnt orange and brown cardstock.  Orange frame measures 5 1/2" x 7 3/4".  Yellow frame measures 5 5/16"  x 7 1/4" and the brown frame is 5 3/4 x 8".

Stamp the Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower stamp with brown ink on cardstock.  You will need two sunflower sets.  Die cut and lightly sponge the center and tips of the petals with NUVO Embellishment Mousse Copper.   You will need to spray a little water often in the embellishment mousse after opening the jar to apply the cream with your fingers on the petals. 

NUVO Embellishment Mousse Copper

Use a flower shaping tool to shape each petal.  If you aren't familiar about shaping flowers, Heartfelt Creations has a tutorial on how to shape their sunflowers.  Click Here to see this tutorial. After gluing the layers of the sunflower together, I glued the US Artquest Espress Yourself Prills and Go-Man-Go Prills in the center of each sunflowers. 

I cut out one Heartfelt Creations Blushing Rose die shown on the bottom right for the swirls and leaves.  I use this Heartfelt Creations Blushing Rose die and the Heartfelt Creations Blushing Rose stamp set for various flowers and glue different flowers where the flowers are stamped.  The leaves and swirls are gorgeous with most flowers.

I used a hot glue gun to adhere the flowers and bow to the card. 

I can't wait to see the possibilities that you will create making an sunflower card using the Heartfelt Creations Classic Sunflower paper, dies and stamp sets. I really encourage you to purchase the entire coordinating Heartfelt Classic Sunflower collections from The Rubber Buggy.

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!

Heartfelt Creations Shoe Cards

I just had a birthday party from wonderful friends and family who gave me beautiful flowers. I choose each of my friends favorite flowers and made flowers and a card to symbolize our friendship and thanks using the Heartfelt Creations collections starting with the Heartfelt Creations All Glammed Up shoe die and stamp set from The Rubber Buggy on-line store.

With this beautiful stamp set, I used the corner border stamp for the inside of the card and colored it with Copic markers.  I will write  my thank you note inside the card.

Heartfelt Creations Classic Sun Flower Paper, Heartfelt Creations Arianna Blooms, Heartfelt Creations Classic Rose die set (leaves on the back), Heartfelt Creations Rose stamp set, Go-Man-Go and Express Yourself Prills

The finished shoe card measures 4 1/2" x 5 1/5" .  Inside of card, fold paper in half and die cut with part of the heel of the shoe about 1/4" off the fold line.  See next photo for sample.

I cut the front with Heartfelt Creations Blushing Rose paper collection and cut off the heel and glued to the first page of the purple shoe.  Since the purple paper is light weight, I cut out another cream colored shoe to glue on the back of the card and cut part of the back of the shoe to match the fold line of the purple shoe so that the front of the card will fold easily.  See photo below

I can't wait to see the possibilities that you will create making a shoe card.  I really encourage you to purchase the entire coordinating Heartfelt Creations collections from 
The Rubber Buggy.

Enjoy and Happy Crafting!

Flowering Dogwood Happy Birthday

The Rubber Buggy on-line store carries all of these supplies to make this card.  They offer great customer service and fast delivery on all of your orders. 

 I made this card using the Heartfelt Creations paper, dies and stamps besides the NUVO Crystal Drops and NUVO Mousse that comes in so many colors.  

Do you know that if you use a wonderful stamping tool like the MISTI that Rubber Buggy carries, you can do so many different techniques in stamping.

 I couldn't live without this very VERY important stamp tool.  I was able to stamp these flowers twice with the Ranger pink ink and then stamp it again twice with Ranger clear embossing powder or any clear or clear glitter embossing powder that you have on hand.  If you don't have a lot of colors of embossing powders, this is one technique that you can use with any type of ink besides pigment ink but only with a stamping tool like the MISTI.

I just love the prills for the center of my flowers.  I took my fingers and dipped it in the NUVO Aqua Mist Mousse and applied it to the center of the flowers and glued mini prills in the center.  I added NUVO Apple Green Crystal Drops to the pattern flowers and the small die cut flowers.  I colored the small die cut dogwoods with colored pencils and Copic markers.

I just love the Heartfelt Creations Decorative Oval.  I added 5mm flatback pearls.

 I stamped the roses and sponged the edges of each petal with the Ranger Distress Dusty Concord and shaped the flowers before gluing the petals. I used glued in the center of the one rose and added some prills for the stamen.  I colored the leaves and rose bulbs with colored pencils.

This is the inside of the card.  I just love this Heartfelt Creations Orchid Wishes sentiment stamp for my birthday cards.  I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Ink.    I normally use Copic markers but wanted the details on the orchids and birds to show more so I colored the orchid, leaves and birds with colored pencils.  

Hope to inspire you to make a card similar or just get out your wonderful supplies for The Rubber Buggy to start crafting this spring.

Happy Birthday Photo Doggie Album

I had a lot of fun making this photo album rather than a birthday card for my daughter-in-law this year.  Little Hudler, a Golden Retriever, is their new addition and this is a 

6-month time line of photos of their little doggie.  

The supplies from The Rubber Buggy were the Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pooch collection paper, dies and stamps along with the Heartfelt Creations Delightful Daisy stamp and die set.  

The size of each photo is 5" x 7".  The front (above) has the Heartfelt Creations Delightful Daisy stamp and HC Delightful Daisy die set.  The album has the Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pooch paper, Heartfelt Creations Pampered Pouch Paw-fect Pooches die and HC Pampered Pouch Paw-fect Pooches stamp set as well as the HC Pampered Pouch You're Paw-fect stamp set.  
I cut out the frames measuring 5 " x 7" using the Spellbinder Rectangle Nestabilities dies. 

Sponged the paw with Ranger Distress Antique Linen ink.

Embossed paws were with Ranger White Weather embossing powder

Other supplies:
Ranger Weathered White embossing powder, Ranger Brown embossing powder
 Blue, green, cream and yellow Bazzill card stock
Ranger Antique Linen Distress Ink,  Memento Tuxedo Black ink
