Silent Night - Holy Night Christmas card

Welcome back bloggers and I am sharing with you a Christmas card that I made with products sold at The Rubber Buggy.

The Rubber Buddy has many new products such as the Tutti Designs dies.  I used the gorgeous Tutti Designs Kitty Window and Tutti Designs Shining Candles dies to make the window.  I really love these two dies and will use the Tutti Design Kitty Window more this spring and summer.  I embossed the Kitty Window die with copper embossing powder such as the Ranger Copper embossing powder.

I am really loving the Heartfelt Creations Snow Kissed Collection paper for my Christmas cards along with the Heartfelt Creations Celebrate the Seasons Gift Wrapped Presents stamp set.  If you have been following my blog for The Rubber Buggy, you will see this stamp set has been used on many of my Christmas cards this year.  

I will be sharing with you two other Christmas cards the following Saturday using the gorgeous Heartfelt Creations Snow Kissed Collection and other stamps and dies sets that coordinate with this collection.  This collection also includes tags and sentiments.  The Heartfelt Creations collection is wonderful for making scrap book pages, cards and projects.

I also used the finest quality card stock called Bazzill. The Rubber Buggy carries a variety of Bazzill card stock which is the best on the market.

The Rubber Buggy is getting in new products such as the NUVO by Tonic Studio.  You will love all of the NUVO glitter, crystal drops, glitter, embossing power and now the jewel drops products.  

Reminder from my last week's blog for a technique, I use a small 1" wire and stick 1/2" in the bottle and the other 1/2" bent over the tip of the bottle.  This technique will keep the liquid flowing out of the bottle when you open it up and if you are finding the glitter becoming thick, I stick the wire back in the bottle to keep the glitter drops flowing. The lid will still screw back on with the wire bent over the tip.  I do this also with the Ranger Liquid Pearl Drops to help the flow.
NOVU products used on this card:
NUVO Glimmer Paste Emerald Green
NUVO Glitter Drops Ruby Slipper
NUVO Glitter Drops White Blizzard
NUVO Glitter Drops Golden Sunset
NUVO Glitter Drops Orange Soda 
The dripping candle wax was made using the Ranger Liquid Pearls White Opal.

Often, I use the different sizes of Scor-Tape to stick my ribbons and bows on my cards.  This tape is great and it stays sticky when I pull my ribbons off the tape or when I am rearranging my bow on the tape.  The Rubber Buggy sells a variety of adhesives such as glue, 3D foam adhesive, tapes, etc. along with this brand of adhesive tape.  If you don't have it, it is well worth it.

The Venise Lace comes in white and ivory.  This lace is always gorgeous on cards, projects and especially scrap book pages.  Check out the other laces and ribbons HERE on 
The Rubber Buggy on-line store.

Above is another card that I made with the Tutti Designs Kitty Window die.

 Now it is your turn to try these products out from The Rubber Buggy and see what you create!

Winter Pop Up card with Snowflakes

Welcome back to our new Let's Craft and Create Challenge #119 called 'Winter'.  Come join us and enter your card or project with us and share you information.  Also, you might become our next winner for a prize.

I love making cards or projects with the gorgeous blues and white colors for the winter theme.  This card wasn't easy to photo but the black background turned out the best so that the camera was fooled and the photos weren't over exposed.  It took me longer to finally take the right photos than to make this card since the photos were under exposed or over exposed.

I used the Tattered Lace Essential Pop Up die set to make the foundation for this card. Throughout the card, I used the fantastic NUVO by Tonic Studio - White Blizzard glitter drops to add glitter to the snowflakes, the snow on the ground (below photo) as well as to make snowflakes on the backgrounds such as the photo below and on the background of each deer scene.

I used the gorgeous Pion Design Greetings From The North Pole Mid Winter Night card stock for the scene in the back with the Memory Box Snowflake die on the back.  I had numerous miniature snowflakes that came out of a Martha Stewart Snowflake border punch so I glued two snow flakes on clear acetate so that it would looks like the snowflakes are in the air.  The village is a Cottage Cutz Winter Wonderland Border.  

This is the Impression Obsession Sled die with the Pion Design Greetings From The North Pole Mid Winter Night  card stock.   I used the same NUVO by Tonic Studio - White Blizzard glitter drops

I cut one of the deer out from the Memory Box Trio Deer set and used the other two deer on the other side of the pop up box.  Both "Let It Snow" and "Winter Wishes" are dies in a set of the Tattered Lace Christmas sentiment die set.  I used a Memory Box Scattered Snowflake stencil for the scene with the deer above and used the Sue Wilson Snowflake embossing folder the background below with the two deer.

The sentiments are from the Graphic 45 Twelve Days of Christmas and the blue paper is from the Maja Design Vintage Frost Basic.  

This is the pop up card folded and I put a small ribbon around the pop up card to send it in an envelope. The top snowflakes are from the Cheery Lynn Design and the bottom 

snowflake border is from Sue Wilson Designs.  

This is the back of the folded pop up card with the Cheery Lynn Designs snowflake die on top and the Sue Wilson Designs snowflake border on the bottom.

Hope our wonderful design team inspired you to make your winter projects and cards this year.  Stay tune for the next month for another wonderful challenge from

Snow Globe and Christmas Carol

Tis the Season to start on those Christmas Card!

What would be better than having a gorgeous set of 7 Christmas dies from the Tutti Designs Snow Globe Expression at a reasonable price!  

I used the snow globe and joy in the Tutti Designs Snow Globe Expression die set for this card but just look at the other words that I could have used for this card.  Just think of the possibilities for any of your Christmas cards with this die set!!!

I like using an adhesive spray on the back of any of these words or other Tutti Designs intricate die to adhere to cards.  I am new about using adhesive sprays and had a bottle of Elmer's Multi-Purpose Spray adhesive on hand to try this out about a month ago.   After spraying the back of the word, I just wait about 30 seconds for the adhesive to gel  and then stick the word onto the paper.  I like using a tweezer to hold the word for spraying over my trash can since it is a chore to get the adhesive off of your fingers.  

I used a small snowflake from a punch and glued it in the Joy.  I embossed using an embossing pen and applied the Stampendous Chunky White Deep Impression embossing enamel for the snow flakes on the Graphic 45 Christmas Carol back ground paper and inside the snow globe.  

Just add your favorite flower, ribbon and frame to this card and it is ready to send.

You'll want to be sure to pop over to the Tutti Designs Store and check out all the beautiful dies. You can order these gorgeous dies from Tutti Designs on-line store or the wonderful stores and companies that carries Tutti Designs dies.

Pion Design-Silent Night I

This is the gorgeous nativity scene from the Pion Design - Silent Night I collection.  I used the must-needed NUVO-Glitter Drops-White Blizzard on the background and on the nativity scene to bring out the snowflakes and glow on the nativity scene plus adding drops to the flowers.

I used the Noel from the gorgeous Tutti Designs Snow Globe Expression die set.  Check out the reasonable price of $14.99  for 7 dies of the Tutti Designs Snow Globe Expression die set at The Rubber Buggy on-line store.  Just look at all of the possibilities and uses of this die set.

Happy Anniversary

This is another gorgeous September release from Tutti Designs called Garden Arbour. 

I cut this die using white/gold shimmer card stock. After coloring the image with Copic Markers, I cut out the image of this couple using the Tutti Designs Garden Arbour and then used Elmer Multi Purpose Spray Adhesive to stick this to the embossed card stock.   I added flower rhinestones to each flower in the die.  

I always add a bow and ribbon to my cards.  I used two-side tape for the ribbon and bow and added a pearl brad to the bow.  I applied NUVO-White Blizzard glitter drops to the embossed folder and some to the flowers and the heart.  I added a frame around the card using a light pink and another frame with silver metallic card stock.  Now my card is ready to send.

Christmas Angels

Hi, I am back and excited to share with  the next three Saturdays cards made by me, Nancy Hill, using the four basic supplies shown below from The Rubber Buggy on-line store.

Tutti Designs- Snowglobe Expressions - Tutti-143
NUVO Glitter Drops - White Blizzard
Maja Vintage Autumn Basics 
Pion Designs - Silent Night I

There are six beautiful sentiments with the snowglobe in the gorgeous Tutti Designs-Snowglobe Expressions die.  Check out the reasonable price from The Rubber Buggy and all of the dies in ONE SET.   I could have used any of these sentiments from this die set.  Click HERE and you will see another example of a card that I made using the snowglobe die from this set.  

The Rubber Buggy on-line store is selling the NUVO brand.  If you are new to with NUVO, I would suggest the very gorgeous NUVO Glitter Drops - White Blizzard.  There are other beautiful colors to order and I plan to get most of them.  Also, NUVO Glitter also comes in a paste for other ways of using it.  

I uses this bottle for the perfect drop that looks like a clear glittery pearl on the snowflake or spread the glitter around like I did with the angle wings.  
When I am done with the drops, I put a small 1/2" thin wire into the tip of the bottle with a part of the wire bend on the outside of the tip when I screw the lid back onto the bottle.  When I am ready to use the NUVO bottle again, the glitter will easily flow out of the bottle.  If the glitter glue begins to not flow as well, I use the same thin wire and poke it down the tip to get the glitter glue to come out better.

The angels came from the Pion Design - Silent Night I collection and the background was from the Maja Designs - Autumn Vintage collection.  I added more snowflakes using an old stamp to the Maja Designs - Autumn Vintage paper and added NUVO Glitter Drops to each snowflake.  The frame was cut using the quality cardstock from Bazzill.  The Rubber Buggy sells many of the Bazzill colored card stock which I would highly recommend.  

Additional supplies used were the 4mm flat back pearl string, May Arts ribbon with a ribbon buckle slider. 

 Now it is your turn to try these products out from The Rubber Buggy and see what you create!

Heart Tree

This is the new September Tutti Designs released die called Heart Tree.  Isn't this just a beautiful die.  

This die is easy to cut out and could be used for several occasions.  I cut this die using red metallic card stock and sprayed the back some adhesive spray like the Elmer's Adhesive spray to stick to the embossed white/gold shimmer card stock.  If you use tweezers to hold the die cut while spraying it with the spray adhesive, the adhesive doesn't get on the fingers which isn't easy to get off. 

I added 4mm flat back pearls to the flowers in the die cut and 5mm flat back pearls around the gold frame.   I added white ribbon with a rhinestone heart slider buckle and glued it with adhesive tape.  I thought of adding the Love that was cut out with gold and white card stock to go with this gorgeous Tutti Designs Heart Tree die cut.  Lately, I have been gluing two sentiments together to give it some definition. 

To explore more ways of using this die as well as other Tutti Designs dies, visit our Tutti Designs designers on  the Tutti Designs Pinterest or Tutti Designs Facebook .

You'll want to be sure to pop over to the Tutti Designs Store and check out all the beautiful dies. You can order these gorgeous dies from Tutti Designs on-line store or the wonderful stores and companies that carries Tutti Designs dies.

Thank You card

I am back every Saturday and excited to show you cards that I made this month with the Tattered Lace Essential Pop Up Card die set that was purchased from The Rubber Buggy on-line store.  If you ever made a pop us card without this die set, there is a lot of measuring and scoring which takes time before you begin decorating the inside.  Well, Tattered Lace Design did all of this work for you and leaves you the fun of decorating it.  

These wonderful supplies were purchased at The Rubber Buggy on-line store.
Poppy Stamp Die-Theo Butterfly
Memory Box Die-Branching Out
Tattered Lace Essential Pop Up Box Set
NUVO-Glitter Drops White Blizzard
HeartFelt Creations-Arianna Blooms Collection

It is loads of fun decorating the Tattered Lace Pop Up Box with Wild Orchid Craft flowers, the gorgeous HeartFelt Creation Arianna Blooms Collection and using for the first time, the NUVO Glitter Drops.  

I love the NUVO Glitter Drops and plan to buy more colors.  Also, The Rubber Buggy has the new NUVO Glitter paste.  I used the NUVO Glitter Drops-White Blizzard.  I just love how the drops set up so nicely like a flat back pearl and the drops dry quickly.  I even used the same glitter on the leaves and butterflies.  

I have used the beautiful "Many Thanks" stamp in the Graphic 45- Time To Flourish Stamp Set #2.

I love the gorgeous flowers and sentiments in this stamp set.  

Graphic 45-Time To Flourish Stamp Set #2

The corners have the gorgeous NUVO Glitter Drops - White Blizzard and also some of the same glitter on the butterflies.  

This is the outside of the card when it is folded.  

Since I will be giving this card to my friend in person, I just tied a ribbon around it.  When she opens it up, it will look like the photo below.

 Now it is your turn to try these products out from The Rubber Buggy and see what you create!
