Impression Obsession Happy Haunting Halloween

Oct 18, 2018 | Die Cut, Halloween, Impression Obsession | 1 comment

Good Thursday morning. My projects today were made for the Impression Obsession Happy Haunting Halloween design team challenge. I sure hope you’ll come and play along with us. You can see all the challenge details and prize information on the Impression Obsession Blog.

I’m not fond of horror Halloween themes so I usually choose more cartoony dies and stamps to play with. My first project was made with the Spider Web Background, Spider Trio and All-in-One Frames Rectangles 2. I would not want to run into a spider web with these three scary spiders in it. LOL!

The Spider Web, Frame and Spiders

Cut the spider web background using white cardstock.
Cut the frame and spiders using black cardstock.
Apply double stick tape to the back of the frame and attach the spider web background.
Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and attach it to the orange card base.
Lightly form the spider bodies using a large stylus and molding pad and bend their legs a little with your fingers create the appearance of movement.
Apply double layered pieces of mounting tape to the back of the spiders and attach them to the orange card base.

My second card was made using the Halloween Cutout Circles and All-in-One Frames Rectangles 2. I think these small circle silhouettes are so fun used all together on one card but would be very cute used individually one small cards or tags. And again, these are all whimsical images that are full of Halloween fun and not yucky horror type images.

The Circle Cutouts and Frame

Line the circles up on the black cardstock and cut them. The circles come tabbed together but I never cut them apart so it would be easier to cut them so they were all lined up perfectly.
Cut the frame using orange cardstock.
Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame.
Attach the circle layer to the back of the frame.
Apply double stick tape to the back of the circle layer and frame and attach a piece of orange cardstock behind the openings. I wanted the circle images to lay flat against the orange background..
Attach the completed circle frame to the black card base using double stick tape.

I hope my fast and easy Impression Obsession Happy Haunting Halloween cards have inspired you to get out your dies and stamps. Halloween is just around the corner. I can’t believe how fast this year has gone by. Thanks for coming by and I hope you’ll hop over to the Impression Obsession blog to check out the challenge and the list of other team members who have projects to share.

Die Cut Alpine Window Scene

Oct 15, 2018 | Christmas, Die Cut, Essentials by Ellen, Snow | 5 comments

Good Monday morning. My project today is a die cut Alpine window scene made using the new Essentials by Ellen Alpine Window set. I was intrigued with this set when it was released in September and couldn’t wait to play with it. These cut-away windows can be used individually or combined to create fun dimensional scenes. Check out Julie’s great video tutorial on the Ellen Hutson store site.

The Window Layers

Cut the house layer using a 4″ square piece of white cardstock.
Cut the tree layer using white cardstock and cut off the trees. (the white trees will be replaced with green trees during the assembly process)
Cut several trees using green cardstock. I cut small squares of cardstock and laid directly over the trees portions of the die to cut out the individual trees.
Color the tree trunks with a brown Copic marker.
Color the house using a dark red Copic marker.
Cut an additional white house, cut off the roof section using scissors and attach to the red house using rolled up double stick tape.

Assemble the Die Cut Alpine Window Scene

Cut strips of mounting tape and attach to the back of the house window section.
Attach the tree layer to the back of the house window layer.
Create two rounded ground sections by cutting the negative leftover portion of the house layer. (I could have used the mountain layers that comes with the set but I wanted to have lots of snowy blue sky showing in my window.)
Attach the rounded ground sections to the back of the tree layer using double stick tape.
Cut a piece of light blue cardstock to fit behind the window.
Apply falling snow to the blue layer using a small tipped brush and undiluted white watercolor paint.
Attach the blue sky layer to the back of the scene using strip of mounting tape.
Apply double stick tape to the back of the blue layer and attach to a 4.25″ square piece of dark red cardstock.
Apply mounting tape to the back of the scene layer and attach to the card base.
Attach the green trees in the scene using glossy accents and rolled up glue dots.
Apply undiluted white watercolor paint to the tree tips and under the windows on the house.
Finish by applying a small amount of yellow Stickles to the windows of the house.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my die cut Alpine window scene project. I had so much fun making it and can’t wait to see how I can use it next. I’m not sure about you but I’m going to get out my Ellen Hutson die wish list and go shopping for new dies while they are on sale. Thanks so much for coming by and I hope you have a great week.

Clean and Simple Pine Christmas Cards

Oct 14, 2018 | Christmas, Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Window Cards, Wreath | 7 comments

Good Sunday morning. I have two clean and simple pine Christmas cards to share with you today made using the new Rubbernecker Twigs die. For my first card I used the twigs to create a small pine wreath and paired it with the Window 4 Pane die and embellished the wreath with a bright red multi loop bow..

The Window and Card Base

Cut a piece of green designer paper 4.25″ x 2.75″ and attach it to the top of the card base using ATG adhesive.
Cut a piece of white card stock 4.25″ x 3.00″, score it every .25″ across the paper using your Scor-Pal and attach to the card base using ATG adhesive.
Cut two windows using white cardstock.
Use the window as a template to draw cut lines on the card base.
Cut the opening on the card base using your craft knife. Cut about 1/8″ outside the drawn cut lines.
Apply mounting tape to the back of the window and attach over the front opening of the card base.
Apply ATG adhesive to the back f the second window and attach it to the inside opening of the card base.

The Wreath

Cut a circle wreath base using green cardstock.
Cut several sets of the Twigs.
Trim off the top half of the twigs to make small enough for this wreath size.
Attach the twigs to the wreath base using glossy accents. Alternate the the direction of the twigs, one left, one right and one center and continue all the way around the wreath.
Create a multi loop bow and attach it to the wreath using glue dots.
Attach the wreath to the lower window using glossy accents.
You can check out my wreath video and step by step tutorial on Splitcoaststampers.

My second card paired the Twigs with the Borders #3. I created a pine twig bough on the pretty white layer and embellished it with a red multi loop bow.

The Scalloped Layer

Cut the Borders #3 using white cardstock.
Attach the layer to the card base using strips of mounting tape.

The Pine Twigs Bough

Cut several sets of the Twigs die using green cardstock.
Begin attaching twigs in the center of the white layer using glossy accents, alternating the twigs left and right to create the the bough base.
Trim off the bottom third of several twigs and attach them to fill in over top of the base to create a full bough.
Create a multi loop red bow and attach to the bough with glue dots.

I had fun making these die cut pine Christmas cards. As much as I love creating detailed scene or floral projects with lots of part and pieces, it is always nice to make several clean and simple cards to have on hand for those last minute card needs. Today is the last day of the Rubbernecker sale. Be sure and check out all the new dies that I have used over the last several posts. Thanks so much for coming by.

Die Cut Window and Adirondack Chair Scene

Oct 13, 2018 | Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Scene, Window Cards | 3 comments

Good Saturday morning. I have a die cut window and Adirondack chair scene card to share with you today along with a simple framed Adirondack chair scene card. The first scene was made using the new Rubbernecker Window 4 Pane, Beach Chairs, Tree Panel #2, Leaf Group, Flower Buds, Tiny Flower Buds and Small Birds.

The Double Window and Base Card Opening

Cut two windows using white cardstock.
Cut off the left side of one window and the right side of the second window.
Turn the windows face down, line them up and attach them together using double stick tape.
Cut a thin strip of cardstock and cover the double stick to secure the attached windows.
Place the two attached windows on the card and use the inside of the windows as a template to draw cutting lines on the base.
Cut the opening on the card base using a craft knife.
Apply strips of mounting tape all the way around the back side of the window and set aside.

The Cloud Background and Tree Branch

Cut a piece of white cardstock 5.00″ x 3.75″.
Create a cloud background using a cloud stencil, Tumbled Glass ink and an ink blending tool.
Cut the tree panel using green cardstock, cut a main branch section off the panel and attach it to the inside opening of the card base using glossy accents.
Attach thin strips of mounting tape all the way around the front of the cloud base and attach it over the opening on the inside of the card base.
I believe the Papertrey designer paper I used on the card base is retired.

Complete the Die Cut Window and Adirondack Chair Scene

Cut a beach chair and small birds using blue cardstock.
Cut flower buds and tiny flower buds using pink cardstock.
Cut a section of the leaf group using green cardstock.
Form all the flowers using a tiny tipped stylus and molding pad.
Attach the tiny flowers to the tree branch using glossy accents.
Attach the chair to the blue card base using tiny strips of mounting tape.
Cut the leaf group sections apart and attach them on both sides of the3 chair and window opening using glossy accents.
Attach the larger flowers to the leaves using glossy accents.
Attach the birds to the scene using small pieces of mounting tape.
Finish the card by placing the window over the scene and attaching to the card base.
Hint: I kept placing the window over the opening as I attached the chair, foliage and birds to make sure they would be seen well when the window was attached.

My second card was made using the Rectangle Combo #2, Beach Chairs, Grass, Leaf Group, Flower Buds and Small Birds.

The Framed Adirondack Chair Scene

Cut the chair using white cardstock.
Cut the rectangle frames using white cardstock.
Attach the two frame sections together on the back using double stick tape.
Attach two sections of grass to the back of the frame using double stick tape.
Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and grass and attach it to the card base.
Tuck the chair in behind the grass and attach it with thin strips of mounting tape.
Cut the flower buds and birds using red cardstock.
Form the flowers using a tiny tipped stylus and molding pad.
Cut a leaf group using green cardstock and cut the leaf sections apart to create several branches.
Tuck the leaf sections in behind the grass and frame and attach using glossy accents.
Attach the flowers to the leaves using glossy accents.
Finish the scene by attaching the birds using small pieces of mounting tape.

I hope you have been inspired by my die cut window and Adirondack chair scene cards. I had lots of fun making them. Have you checked out the Rubbernecker sale yet? The sale ends tomorrow. I sure do appreciate you coming by and I hope you have a great weekend.

Die Cut Christmas Scene

Oct 12, 2018 | Christmas, Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Scene | 4 comments

Good Friday morning. I have two die cut Christmas scene cards to share with you today using newly released Rubbernecker Stamps die cut sets. The first card was made using the Lamp Post with Accessories, Borders #3, Berries Branch, Tiny Leaves, Knob Top Fence, Small Birds and 3 Pine Tree set.

The Card Base

Cut the borders die using white cardstock.
Secure the stamp and cardstock in the MISTI and stamp across the white layer using Peeled Paint ink.
Attach the layer to the red card base using double stick tape.

The Lamp Post and Fence

Cut two sections of the fence using black cardstock, attach them together to fit across the card front and attach main posts on both ends.
Cut a snow layer using deckle scissors and attach to the fence front using double stick tape.
Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the fence snow layer and attach to the card front.
Cut the lamp post sections using black cardstock.
Cut a yellow piece of cardstock to fit behind the lamp and attach it to the back using glossy accents.
Cut a section of tiny leaves to create holly leaf decorations for the fence and lamp.
Form the holly leaves using the leaf tool from the garden tool kit. and attach them to the berry branches to form small clusters.
Attach leaves to the lamp post, lamp and fence using glossy accents.
Use a 1/8″ punch to punch out red circles to use as berries and attach them to the leaf clusters.
Apply red stickles to the berries to add sparkle.
Finish the scene by attaching red birds using small pieces of mounting tape.

My second card was made using the Frame with Curves and Pierce, Pine Tree Forest, Small Birds and a tiny star from the Stars Die. I had a very hard time getting good photos of this card. It was made using white cardstock but the photos make it look like cream colored cardstock. I am regularly puzzled by how difficult it is to get pictures of projects.

The Curvy Snow Scene

Cut the pine tree forest using green cardstock.
Cut the frame with curves background using white cardstock.
Turn the frame face down and secure the pieces in place and attach using double stick tape.
Cut through the frame at the second section up from the bottom following the curve line.

Secure the lower frame section with trees to the top frame and attach together using double stick tape.

Die Cut Paper Flower Pots and Wreath

Oct 11, 2018 | Die Cut, Flowers, Rubbernecker, Wreath | 3 comments

Good Thursday morning. I have a couple die cut paper flower pots and wreath cards to share with you today using several newly released dies from Rubbernecker Stamps. The first card is showing off the new Rectangle Square Window Stitch and filling it with flower pots and a hanging basket. The hanging basket is from the new Lamp Post with Accessorie s set. I used the Tall Terracotta Pots and Wide Terracotta Pots and filled them with Small Ivy, Flower Buds and Tiny Flower Buds and embellished with Small Butterflies.

The Window Frame and Grass

Cut the window frame using aqua cardstock.
Cut grass sections using green cardstock.
Apply double stick tape to the lower and middle windows and attach grass sections.
Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the window frame and attach to the card base.

The Flower Pots and Basket

Cut the flower pots using yellow cardstock.
Apply Wild Honey ink to cover the flower pots.
Apply Rusty Hinge and Vintage Photo ink to shade and create the appearance of terracotta.
Cut several sections of the small ivy.
Cut the flowers using yellow and aqua cardstock.
Apply Wild Honey ink to the yellow flowers using a mini applicator.
Form the flowers using a small tipped stylus and molding pad.
Attach the ivy sections to the back of the pots and basket using glossy accents.
Attach the flowers to the ivy using glossy accents to fill in the arrangements.
Attach the flower pots and basket to the scene using pieces of mounting tape.
Attach butterflies in the scene using glossy accents.
Finish by attaching pre made yellow Nuvo Crystal Drops to the butterflies using glossy accents..

I love this clean and simple card base made using the new Borders #1 die. The wreath was made using Small Ivy and Flower Buds. The wreath base was cut using small dies from the Nested Circle set.

The Decorative Base

Cut the decorative layer using white card stock. Hint: I use waxed paper between the die and cardstock to keep the layer clean.
Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the white layer and attach it to the purple card base.

The Wreath

Cut a small green circle base for the wreath using two smaller dies from the circle die set.
Cut several sets of the small ivy using green cardstock.
Attach the ivy to fill in all the way around the base using glossy accents.
Cut a couple sets of flower buds using purple cardstock.
Form the flower buds using a small tipped stylus and molding pad.
Attach the flowers all the way around the ivy base using glossy accents.
Attach the wreath to the white card base using glossy accents.
Finish by attaching a white multi loop bow using glue dots. You can see my multi loop bow tying tutorial here.

Thanks for coming by today and I hope you have been inspired by my die cut paper flower pots and wreath cards. Be sure and check out the new Rubbernecker die release and the store wide sale.
