Sunny Beach Scene Card and Rubbernecker Design Team Blog Hop

Jun 24, 2019 | Beach, Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Scene | 2 comments

Today I’m sharing a sunny beach scene card to “celebrate summer” along with the Rubbernecker Stamps design team. Nothing represents summer to me more than going to the beach, relaxing under a beach umbrella and watching the waves roll in. My project was made using the new Beach Umbrella, Chaise Lounge, Deckle Hills, Waves, Sun Moon, Grass #2, Small Birds and the Rectangle Combo #4.

The Frame, Water, Sand and Cloud Background

Apply Tumbled Glass ink to the card base using an ink blending tool and cloud template.
Use Kraft cardstock to cut the sand layer and apply Antique Linen ink by swiping the ink pad directly to the cardstock.
Cut the wave layers using aqua cardstock and apply white embossing paste and clear glitter.
Apply the sand layer and wave layers to the frame using double stick tape.
Apply thin strips of mounting tape to the back of the frame and wave layers and attach to the card base.

The Lounge, Umbrella, Sun and Birds

Cut the lounge using red cardstock and the umbrella using red and white cardstock and attach it to the scene using thin pieces of mounting tape.
Create a towel by attaching thin strips of red cardstock to a small piece of white cardstock using glossy accents. Use snips to cut fringe along the bottom of the towel. Attach the towel over the arm the lounge using double stick tape.
Attach the white umbrella sections to the red umbrella base using glossy accents.
Attach the umbrella pole to the card base with double stick tape and the umbrella to the card base using mounting tape.
Cut the sun using bright yellow cardstock and attach to the card base using mounting tape. Apply shimmer to the sun using a shimmer pen.
Cut small birds and color the wings using a gray marker and attach the to the card base with small pieces of mounting tape.
Finish by attaching a few grass sprigs to the scene using glossy accents.

Vegetable Garden Cart Card

Jun 18, 2019 | Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Scene | 4 comments

Today I’m sharing a vegetable garden cart card using the Rubbernecker Stamps Cart and vegetable Cart Accessories #2 paired with the Deckle Hills, Small Birds, Grass #2, Leaf Group and framed using the Rectangle Combo #4. I had fun coloring all the individual vegetables and figuring out how I would use them in the scene. My favorite piece is the scale.

The Frame and Grass Layer

Cut the frame using white cardstock
Attach the two largest frame sections together using double stick tape.
Cut a single grass layer and attach it to the back of the frame.
Apply mounting tape all the way around the back of the frame and attach it to the card base.

The Cart

Use woodgrain cardstock to cut the cart sections.
Apply Vintage Photo ink to all the parts using a mini applicator.
Assemble the cart and attach all the pieces using glossy accents.
Cut the awning using red and white and attach the white layers to the red using glossy accents.
Tuck the cart in behind the grass layer and attach using mounting tape.
Apply single layer pieces of mounting tape to the top of the awning and triple layered pieces to the lower portion of the awning and attach to the card base.

The Vegetable Accessories

Cut the vegetable and pumpkin pieces using white cardstock.
Color the different vegetables using Distress Ink and mini applicators.
Cut the scale using red, gray and metallic silver cardstock and attach pieces using glossy accents. Use a fine tipped pen to apply tiny dots on the scale face for numbers.
Fill the crates with vegetables and attach using glossy accents.
Tuck the crates in behind the grass and one on the cart and attach with mounting tape.
Apply mounting tape to the scale and attach it to the card base.
Attach the pumpkins on the cart and the frame using pieces of mounting tape.
Finish the scene by attaching a few red birds to the card base using mounting tape and grass sprigs around the pumpkins and crates using glossy accents. Attach a single branch to the top corner of the awning to help offset all the weight in the bottom of the scene.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing my vegetable garden cart card. I think the next time I use the cart I will create a larger card that allows me to combine the vegetable with flowers for a complete farmer’s market scene. Here’s a Pinterest link with lots of cart inspiration. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great day.

Clean and Simple Bicycle Card

Jun 16, 2019 | Clean and Simple, Rubbernecker, Scene | 7 comments

Today I’m sharing a sweet clean and simple bicycle card using several Rubbernecker dies. I created the background scene using the mini fern stamp from the Kittie Kits Outdoor Master, Distress Inks and mini applicators. I thought the Bicycle was the perfect main image for the simple scene and I filled the basket with Small Ivy and Tiny Flower Buds. The card base was made using the Nested Deckle Rectangles and I finished the scene by adding two Small Butterflies. As much as I love creating projects with lots and lots of dimension with die cuts it’s fun to step back a little and create a more simple scene. Check out this Pinterest link to see more clean and simple bicycle card examples.

The Scene Background

Create the bike path using Antique Linen ink and a mini applicator.
Use the mini fern stamp and Shabby Shutters ink to stamp green along both sides of the path.
Use Spun Sugar, Faded Jeans and Squeezed Lemonade inks and the mini fern stamp to add touches color to the grassy path to create the appearance of tiny flowers. My intention was to create just the “impression” of a soft flower path to allow the bicycle to be the main focus.

The Bicycle and Basket of Flowers

Cut the bicycle pieces using blue, gray, black and white cardstock.
Assemble the bicycle parts using glossy accents and double stick tape.
Apply Vintage Photo ink to the basket using a mini applicator.
Cut the small ivy using green cardstock and the flowers using pink, blue and yellow cardstock.
Arrange and attach sections of the ivy to the back of the basket using glossy accents.
Form the tiny flowers using a small tipped stylus and molding pad and attach them to the ivy using glossy ivy.
Apply glossy accents to the back bottom and right side of the basket and attach it to the bicycle.
Apply pieces of mounting tape to the basket, wheels and seat of the bicycle and attach it to the card base.
Finish by attaching two pink butterflies to the card base using glossy accents.

I love the soft feel to this clean and simple bicycle card. It was fast and easy to make and will be the perfect card for my older sister who loves to ride her bike. Thanks so much for coming by and I hope you have a great Sunday.

How to Make a Flower Pop Up Box Card

Jun 14, 2019 | Die Cut, Flowers, Pop Up Box, Rubbernecker | 4 comments

Today I’m sharing a flower pop up box card made using dies by Rubbernecker Stamps. The main focus of the card is the new Cart and Cart Accessories #1 and are paired with several flower themed die sets listed below. I questioned whether I should post this card as I had a very difficult time getting good pictures. I took a few close up clear views to show off the different sections. I used the Square Pop Up Box Card Kit by The Paper Cut and Carta Bella Flower Market paper pad.

The Box Base and Layers

Use the bone folder to reinforce all the score lines .
Cut the designer paper layering pieces.
Apply double stick tape to the back of all the layering pieces and attach to the inside back cover and flaps and the outside sections of the box sections.
Apply double stick tape to the side insert flap, line the box sides up and attach the two ends together to form the box.
Cut deckle hill sections to fit the three flaps and attach with double stick tape.
Cut deckle hill insert sections using green cardstock. Cut and score both ends at 1/2″ in.
Fold the deckle hill insert tabs, apply double stick tape to each tab and insert the tabs to the inside of the box.
Note: The kit comes with three inserts for each box. I used five deckle hill strips instead of three to create a fuller looking grass are in the opening.

The Flower Cart

Cut the flower cart using woodgrain cardstock and the awning using pink and white cardstock.
Attach the white awning sections to the pink base using glossy accents.
Assemble the cart parts and attach using glossy accents. (the detail parts of the cart are hidden by the larger pots of flowers)
Apply mounting tape to the cart and awning and attach to the back layer of the pop up box card.
Apply Vintage Photo ink to the cart using a mini applicator.

The Flowers, Pots and Garden Cart

Cut the cart accessories parts and color using markers, distress inks and mini applicators.
Assemble the accessory parts and attach to the cart using glossy accents.
Cut and assemble the garden cart , attach using glossy accents and apply Vintage Photo ink with a mini applicator.
Use pink and yellow cardstock to cut the tulips.
Apply Wild Honey ink to the yellow tulips and Worn Lipstick ink to the pink tulips using mini applicators and attach the flowers to the stems using glossy accents.
Use gray cardstock to cut the bucket and color using Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge ink and mini applicators.
Cut flowers using light pink, bright pink and white cardstock.
Apply Worn Lipstick and Wild Honey ink to the center of the larger flowers using mini applicators.
Form the flowers using a stylus and molding pad.
Cut several small ivy and leaf group sections.

Assemble the Flower Pop Up Box Card

Arrange and attach the flowers in the bucket and flower pots using glossy accents.
Attach tulip bucket to the side flap using mounting tape and attach a few stems to the grass using glossy accents.

Attach flower pots to the garden cart using glossy accents and attach the cart to the front flap using mounting tape.
Attach the garden boots to the flap using mounting tape.
Tuck an ivy and flower section in behind the grass and attach using glossy accents.

Attach the tulip stems to the back of the flower pot using glossy accents.
Use mounting tape to attach the tulip pot to the side flap.
Tuck an ivy flower section behind the grass and attach using glossy accents.

Finish the card by attaching ivy and flower sections on both sides of the deckle hill sections in the box area to create the appearance of a path back to the garden cart.

I’m sorry the photos of my flower pop up box card aren’t more clear. I had a great time designing this card and putting all the pieces together and I’m a little disappointed that the photos don’t do the project justice. I’m sure it would help if I would go and take a photography class. LOL! If you would like more flower card inspiration you can check out my Pinterest Flower Card board. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great weekend.

Beach Truck and Surfboards

Jun 13, 2019 | Beach, Die Cut, Rubbernecker, Scene | 6 comments

Today I’m sharing a beach truck and surfboards card. I just can’t seem to stop making beach cards with the new Rubbernecker dies. This time I decided to create a flower power beach truck with a load of surfboards. I have been demonstrating at Scrapbook Expo shows with Rubbernecker and one of the questions I get asked most is where I get my card ideas. I use Google to search for photos of subjects and usually come up with great ideas. I was inspired by truck and surfboard photos found here and flower power truck photos found here. My project was made using the new Beach Umbrella, Palm Trees and surfboards from the Lifeguard Tower set. I paired them with the Truck, Sun Moon, Deckle Hills, Grass #2 and Small Birds.

The Water and Sky

Cut a piece of masking tape and attach it to the center of the card base.
Apply Tumbled Glass ink to the water portion of the base using an ink blending tool.
Remove the tape and apply Tumbled Glass to the sky area using an ink blending tool and a cloud template.
Lightly dab white embossing paste on to the water using your finger to create the sea foam.
Apply clear glitter to the paste while it is still wet to create sparkle.

The Die Cut Images

Cut the palm trees using Kraft and green cardstock.
Apply Antique Linen and Vintage Photo ink to the coconuts and trunk.
Attach the fronds and coconuts to the trunk using glossy accents.
Cut the sand layers using Kraft cardstock and apply Antique Linen ink directly to the paper using the ink pad.
Cut small grass sprigs using green cardstock.
Use bright yellow cardstock to cut the sun, attach the pieces together using double stick tape and apply shimmer.
Cut the truck designer paper and bright pink cardstock and assemble pieces using glossy accents and mounting tape.
Cut the umbrella using designer paper and bright pink cardstock and attach pieces together using glossy accents
Use bright colored cardstock to cut the surfboards, add details using contrasting colors and attach with glossy accents.
Use white cardstock to cut the birds and color the wings using a gray marker.

Assemble the Beach Truck and Surfboards Scene

Apply strips of mounting tape to the sand layers and attach to the card base.
Tuck the palm trees in behind the sand layers and attach using strips of mounting tape.
Use mounting tape to attach the sun in the sky area.
Apply mounting tape to the umbrella and attach to the card base. Tuck the pole in behind the sand layer and attach using glossy accents.
Tuck grass sprigs in behind the sand layers and attach using glossy accents.
Attach the surfboards to the back of the truck using glossy accents and one surfboard to the sand using mounting tape.
Use mounting tape to the attach the truck to the sand layers,
Finish by attaching the birds in the sky using mall pieces of mounting tape.

I hope you enjoyed seeing my truck and surfboards card. I know this is my third beach card in a row and I promise I will upload something totally differernt next time. Thanks for coming by and I hope you have a great day.
