Welcome back! Nancy, here to share my card made with the adorable 
Wild Rose Studio Cats in Garden Stamp set.

Wild Rose Studio Cats in Garden Stamp 

I stamped the Wild Rose Studio stamp with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copic Markers.  I added the NUVO Aqua Shimmer Glitter Gloss pen to the water can and flowers.  The sentiment is from the adorable set of Wild Rose Studio Cats and Moon Greeting stamp set.  I used an 1" circle punch to cut out the circle and added a scallop circle behind it.  I adhere the Wild Orchid Craft Sweet Blossom flowers around the scallop circle.  I always use the Prima Marketing or Scor-Tape to adhere my bows and ribbons to my cards.  This time, I used the Prima Marketing Memory Hardware Artisan 1" Double-side Tape  to adhere my bow onto the card. 

I used the same stamp set on the inside of my card as well as the back of the card.

I always stamp my name on back of my cards and projects to personalize it as well as let the person know that I made it just for them.

Wild Rose Studio Llama Mum and Baby Cards

Welcome back and today this is my blog, Nancy Hill, for The Rubber Buggy. The Rubber Buggy on-line store carries all of the adorable Wild Rose Studio dies, stamps and paper pad and supplies to make those precious cards for your love ones that I am sharing with you today.   

 I am so excited to share with you my two cards, Christmas and Birthday, made with the adorable Wild Rose Studio, Llama Mum and Baby stamp. 

Wild Rose Studio Llama Mum and Baby

Both cards were stamped with the Wild Rose Studio Llama Mum and baby stamp and Memento Black Tuxedo ink and colored with Copic markers.  You will want to use the Memento inks if you are coloring your images with ink markers since other inks will cause the black ink to bleed into your image.  I like to give this ink a couple minutes to dry before using my ink pens or just dry a couple second with the hot embossing gun.  I sprinkled white embossing powder around the Llama and used a hot embossing gun to make a snowy scene.  I used the Beacon 3-1 Advance Glue to glue this onto the ole Spellbinder die frame.  The background patterned paper is from the beautiful  Wild Rose Studio Birds and Berries 6" x 6" paper pad along with the Wild Rose Studio Holly Vine Corner die.

 NUVO Glitter Drops - White Blizzard.

I added some beautiful Prima Marketing Melange Sugar Crystals and NUVO Glitter Drops - White Blizzard.  The NUVO White Blizzard glitter drops coordinates so well with the Prima Marketing Melange Sugar Crystals, both having the high glitter and texture of sugar.  You can see some drops of NUVO Glitter on the photo below on the tiny pine branches  between Christmas and Merry.   

Below, the Happy Birthday card was made with the beautiful Wild Rose Studio Poet's Kitchen paper pad and tthe Wild Rose Studio Vivianna Greetings stamp set. 

 I use this stamp set often with my Wild Rose Studio cards since there is two Happy Birthday stamps made in different waves which gives of more of a choice on how the sentiment will show on cards.  All of my cards will have embellishments with glitter and shine.  I finished this card off with the Prima Marketing Melange Sugar crystals, 4mm flatback pearls and the NUVO Shimmer Glitter Gloss Pen on the presents.

Both cards were stamped with the Memento Tuxedo Black ink  and Prima Marketing Artisan  Adhesive 1" double-sided tape was used to adhere the front of the card to the card frame.  The Beacon 3-In-1 glue was used to adhere the layers.

Lemon Craft Yesterday Birthday Card for Daughter-in-law

Welcome back and I am so excited to share a card that I made for our special daughter-in-law's birthday.

I am really loving the Lemon Craft Yesterday paper collection for my cards and projects.  Lemon Craft Yesterday comes in the 12" and 6" square paper collection pads.  Lemon Craft has a variety of other gorgeous papers that are available at The Rubber Buggy on-line store.  

This card measure 17mm square with the patterned paper measuring 16mm.  I used the 

Prima Marketing Memory Hardware Artisan 1" tape to adhere the front of the card to the card frame as well as adhere the bow to the card. I love using this tape to adhere any bow or ribbon to my cards because if I don't like how the bow is positioned on the card, I am easily able to take the bow off and reposition it on the card a few times until I am satisfied with how my bow is laying on the card and the tape remains sticky each time.

I used a Microsoft Word to type this sentiment.  I used a floral stamp with light brown ink and stamped it around the sentiment before gluing the chipboard frame on top of  the sentiment.  I colored the chipboard with Prima Marketing White Gesso and then with Prima Marketing Butterfly Spell and Prima Marketing Vintage White Gold wax.  I added the Wild Orchid Craft 15mm pink roses and these tiny Wild Orchid flowers on the frame.  

I added the Prima Marketing Melange Sugar Art Pebbles on the card and on the corner metal embellishments.  Prima Marketing has a variety of gorgeous crystals for your cards and projects that are available at The Rubber Buggy.  I took a photo of the new Prima Marketing Melange Sugar Art Pebbles so that you can see the different sizes and gorgeous colors.  I used the small pebbles and used the Beacon 3-1 glue to adhere the pebbles around the card.  I just love the glitter to these pebbles.  I plan on using this jar of Sugar Pebbles on the Christmas and winter birthday cards this fall.  

Prima Marketing Melange Sugar Art Pebbles

On the metal corner embellishments of the card, I used the Prima Marketing Clear Gesso and let dry for a few minutes.  I applied the Prima Marketing Butterfly Spell Sparks which add such a nice shimmer.  By the way, if you don't like what colors added after the Gesso, it is so easy to clean the metal embellishments off with warm water and a little rubbing it off with your fingers or a washcloth to start over again.  

Don't throw those little bits and pieces of paper that was left over.  Just glue these pieces to the back of the card using the Beacon 3-1 Advanced glue to make a collage and stamp your name on it.

Lemon Craft Yesterday Birthday Card

Welcome back and hope you are enjoying your summer.  Harvest is good this year despite all of the repairs.

I made this card using the gorgeous Lemon Craft Yesterday paper collection along with the 

Lemon Craft Vintage 021 Butterfly Collection paper.  Love the vintage pastel patterned papers in this paper collection.  The Rubber Buggy has the gorgeous collection of Lemon Craft paper collections for you.  

Also, I have used a variety of fast grab quick drying glues.  I bought the Beacon 3-1 Glue and this glue will  almost stick to anything very nicely on my craft projects at all times.  I highly recommend this.  Not only does it grab very well but it glues quickly and clearly and flows  out of the bottle so well.  

I love all of the variety of butterflies that is found with the variety of Lemon Craft Vintage butterfly papers.  I used the butterfly from the Lemon Craft Vintage 021.  I had a couple other Lemon Craft Vintage butterfly papers that I love for my cards and projects.  I cut out the pink butterfly, shaped the wings with a roundness of the pencil handle to give it a soft curve to make it look like it is flying and used a damp paper cloth and sponged on some soft pink inks around the wings. 

 I used the NUVO glitter pen on the butterfly and roses on the paper to bring out more of the colors.  Hopefully, you can see the gorgeous shimmer on the butterfly from the NUVO glitter pen.

I cut off white floral wire from a paper flower and twisted it to for the body of the butterfly.  I used a hot glue gun to glue the wire on the butterfly.  

I cut out this cone template for the fan by folding the paper and cutting it as shown below.  I align the template to the top of each Lemon Craft patterned paper squares (found in the paper pad) with the lace from the Lemon Craft Yesterday paper pad.  I edge each fan petal with pink from a sponge or paper town and glued the fans together.  I used Prima Marketing Artisan tape to adhere the lace and bow on the fan.  

I found this cameo jewelry charm and used Prima Marketing Clear Gesso.  After the gesso dried, I used my fingers to paint the cameo with Prima Marketing Butterfly Spells Spark paint.  I adhered it to the bow with a hot glue gun.  To see the difference the top charm and metal corner are painted with the gesso and sparks, the bottom charm and corner haven't been painted yet (photo below).  

To finish off most of my cards (see photo above), adhere the crystals found in the Prima Marketing Say It In Crystals sets.  The two SIIC sets are only a small sample of the other gorgeous Prima Marketing Say It in Crystal sets that are available at The Rubber Buggy.  Be sure to check out the new arrivals like Prima Marketing Santa Crystals.

Sympathy Easel Card for Cowboy

Making a personalized sympathy card is wonderful therapy.  It preserve memories of some of the things that we miss about that person as well as cope with their absence.  This card is for our cousin who loved being a cowboy in his spare times.  This picture is of him being honored as a Grand Marshal of the Lewiston Roundup Rodeo.  

The Rubber Buggy has all of the wonderful products and supplies to make gorgeous cards and craft projects for you.  I made this easel card using the Heartfelt Creations Dogwood paper and Dogwood Flower dies.  The flowers were made with the white LeCrea Flower sheet and I colored each petal with mint green Prima Marketing Oil Pastels before using an iron to curl the petals. I used the Beacon 3 In 1 Advanced Glue to apply US Artquest Mini Ribbit green Prills in the center of each flower.  The sentiment on the front is from the gorgeous Heartfelt Creations Courage and Strength stamp set. I stamped it with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and used a NUVO glue pen on "God" and applied NUVO gold glitter.

The metal frame with the Cowboy sentiment is  the Gorjuss Metal Frame.  I typed the Cowboy sentiment using Microsoft Word and cut it out to fit inside the frame.  I used part of a rope and used a glue gun to adhere this rope around the frame to give it that western appearance.  I used another Prima Marketing Vignette Metal Corner on the frame and Prima Marketing Crystals Havana around the front of the cover.

This photo above is when the easel card is folded.  It measures 6 1/2" x 6 1/2". I had this little resin angel and used it for this card.  I colored it with Copic Markers.

Make sure to use heavy cardstock for the easel frame before the patterned paper.  I found that if you don't do this and add flowers, the easel part of the card will droop due to the weight.  

Cut a 6" x 12" cardstock and score at 3" and 6" and fold the score lines.  This is what it may look like gluing or using Prima Marketing 1" double-sided adhesive tape to adhere the front of the card to the fold.  I have a tutorial on how to make this easel card  attached to a box:  https://hillfarmcards.blogspot.com/2017/10/tutorial-on-easel-card-with-drawer.html

Wild Rose Studio Birthday Card with Bella

The Rubby Buggy carries all of your favorite Wild Rose Studio stamps, papers and dies. Wonderful customer service and quickly deliver right to your doorstep.  

 I just love the Wild Rose Studio stamp sets like the Wild Rose Studio Bella Party #2.  This stamp set is also similar to the Wild Rose Studio Bella stamp set which could be used making this card.

I colored the image with Copic Markers and added glitter glue to the balloons.  I used a 1" punch to cut out the Wild Rose Studio Cat and Moon greeting and adhered it to another scallop circle punch.  I used an ole Spellbinder nestabilities rectangle die set for the frame and embossed it with an embossing folder.  

I added the 3mm flat back string pearls using the Beacon 3-1 glue.  I have always used another glue brand but I plan to stick with e Beacon 3-1 glue since it dries so well tacky and clear.  It comes out of the bottle so well and will stick to anything.   I added some ruffled ribbon using this same glue to the back of the frame.  I adhered another scallop border die behind the frame.  I adhered this using Prima Marketing Artisan double-sided self-adhesive tape to a heavy cardstock.

I highly recommend the Uni-Ball White Gel Pen  that comes in a set of 2.  I always had problems in the past with other name brand white pens with clogging and drying up quickly. I almost have given up buying any more white pens.  I gave this a try and absolutely love it.   I have this pen over a year and did it flows immediately upon using it. No more trying to get a white pen to unclog on the point.   I colored the white lines in the ballon over glitter with ease.   

Wild Rose Studio Bella's Party 2 Stamp Set

This stamp set is also similar to the Wild Rose Studio Bella which has the beautiful corner stamps that is also available at The Rubber Buggy on-line store.
