You Make Me Smile

Happy Friday Everyone! I hope you have had a wonderful week and are ready for another creative Friday with me! For your viewing pleasure I have this bright and colorful Summer time card that just makes me smile "wink" "wink"! This card was created using some of my favorite stamps,-1141 Butterfly Set, G-718 Vine Border and J-1095 Fabulous Phrases all from The Rubber Cafe!

I colored the butterflies with B91 and Y18 Copic Markers and attached them to my card using Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry., I added a Silver Rhinestone Finesse Swirl from Want2Scrap™ to create a swirl from the butterflies. The pattern paper that I used is from the Abby Road collection from My Minds Eye (love it) and the green polka dot pattern paper is from Best Creations Basic Glitter Paper, I thought they went nicely together.

I added a little bit of twine to the bottom of my card and stamped the vine border in black ink to make the card pop.

I stamped my sentiment on the S5-030 Fancy Tags Two from Spellbinders™, using the Grand Calibur™ I cut and embossed the die cut and embellished the die cut using the Nestabling™ Fancy Tags Two Blue Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™, doesn't that bling sparkle just make the Fancy Phrases pop right off the card?

I hope you have enjoyed my little creations today and hope that you have been inspired to create your own little project that makes you smile. Until next Friday, I hope you have an amazing weekend. Keep Crafting, Terre

Using the Grand Calibur™,  die cut the S4-193 Peony die template from

Spellbinders™ with pink card stock,  attached the Nestabling™ Peony Back Rhinestones from 

Want2Scrap™. Stamped the PSA Rosetta's from PAS Essentials, die cut the stamped image using the S4-116 Standard Circles Small. Color the stamped image with Copic Markers and placed the Nestabling™ Petite Scalloped Circle Small Black Rhinestones on the stamped image and added a 72 count Hot Pink Pearls to the center of the stamped image.

                     

Using white card stock and black and white polka dot grosgrain ribbon, create a strip and attach the peony to the front of the card. To create the sentiment, use rub on letters on white card stock and pop them up with little foam squares.

Simply Sunday

It's Sunday and that means....Simply Sunday! Today  have a simple card to share with you, it was simple to make but looks like it took a lot of time because of all the detail...not true at all. I started with a 5 x 7 card base, covered the base with Graphic 45 Curtain Call pattern paper. I used my Grand Calibur™ from Spellbinders™ to die cut S4-290 Labels Fourteen from pattern paper. I added a Nestabling™ Labels Fourteen Black from Want2Scrap™ around the outer edge of the die cut and adhered it to the front to f my card with Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry. Did you know that if you don't have a die cut to match the Nestabling™ you can still use them and they look amazing either way? Just look at this close up.

You can see that the Nestabling™ Labels Fourteen Silver Rhinestone doesn't have a die cut, it is just simply placed around the other piece. I added some embellishments out of little cut out from the pattern paper along the side and using the S5-042 Fleur De Lis Doily Accent die cut and embossed out of black card stock as a border to the bottom of my card, added a couple of paper roses from JoAnn's and there you have my simple yet elegantly designed card. Thank you for stopping by my blog today and make sure to check out what the other two friends have created.

Girls Night Out

Girls Night Out gift set created using The Rubber Cafe, E-590 Fashionable Frames, J-1141 Butterfly Set and S-115 Floral Fancy. I found a set of three pink canvas bags on the dollar spot at Target so I took some Vintage Material a gift from my father-in-law's sister and using my GC-001 Grand Calibur™, S4-192 Blossom die template from Spellbinders™ and the wonderful Want2Scrap™ Heart Circles Pink Nestabling™ and Heart Circles Black Nestabling™ stamped my Fashionable Frame stamp and adhered it to the canvas bag using Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry.

I then decided to create a little invitation to invite the girls over for a Girls Night Out at the Spa.

Using Spellbinders™ LF-246 Grand Labels Eleven and S4-246 Labels Eleven, I created my card base. Stamped the S-115 Floral Fancy stamps from The Rubber Cafe using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, added  the 72 count Pink Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™,  colored the stamped image with my Copic markers and created a bow out of the vintage material.

Here is a close up so you can see the amazing J-1141 Butterfly set, I also added some pink rhinestones to the butterflies to give them some dimension. The pattern paper I chose to use was  Best Creations Basic Glitter Pink Polka Dots paper and White card stock.

I took a clear plastic recycled card box, added some pattern paper to the inside and attached the spa kit pieces to the pattern paper. Put the lid on the box and make a stamped belly band, colored the stamped images with Copic markers, added Heart Circles Black Nestabling™ and 72 count Baby Blue and Baby Pink Rhinestones from Want2Scrap™

See the custom belly band  created using the  Fashionable Frames, J-1141 Butterfly Set and S-115 Floral Fancy from The Rubber Cafe, I tied a bow using the same Vintage material and adhered it to the card box.

 I hope you enjoyed my creative gift set, I am sure my girl friends would love to come to s spa day and get a handmade gift set. Thanks for stopping by my blog post, I hope you are inspired to create your own gift set. Have a wonderful weekend,  Terre

Bonjour Nestabling

Bonjour and welcome to my blog post today on Want2Scrap™. My creative project is packed full of amazing Nestabling™ and other fabby bling items. I chose a color pallet of red, white, black and lime green, don’t ask it just came together. I used Want2scrap™ Labels Fourteen Green Nestabling™ on my stamped image of Penny Black Inc 4149H Bonjour Stamp, I die cut the stamped image using Spellbinders™ S4-190 Labels Fourteen die template, added the Nestabling™.

I also die cut black felt out of the Labels Fourteen die template it is easy to cut felt in the Grand Calibur™. I colored my stamped image using my Copic Markers, added a 72 Count Black Pearl to the flower on the hat and adhered my die cuts together using my Beacon Adhesive Zip Dry™. I cut the red and white polka dot pattern paper to fit the front of my card, approximately 5 x 6.5, adhered it to the front of my card. I die cut the S5-030 Fancy Tags Two out of white card stock and added the Fancy Tags Two Black Nestabling™, cut the tag in half to use on both sides of the stamped image. Add a 72 Count Red Rhinestone Bling on both

 sides of the tag.

 I embellished the card with a Want2Scrap™ Red and Black Butterfly, tied a bow using Want2Scrap™ Black and White Polka Dot grosgrain ribbon (found only at the consumer shows).

FREEDOM

Welcome to the Designer Connection Blog Hop! Today's theme was Patriotic....Go Red, White and Blue! For my creative card I used Spellbinders™ GC-001 Grand Calibur™, S4-092 Stars and S5-042 Fleur De Lis Accents, Want2Scrap™ 72 count Red Rhinestone Bling, My Minds Eye American Made pattern paper and accessories, Beacon Adhesives Zip Dry™, White card stock, foam squares and hand stitching.

Vintage Bliss - The Rubber Cafe

Happy Friday Everyone...Terre here bringing you a vintage creation to celebrate a wedding or anniversary you choose! Don't you just love how the Rubber Cafe's C-336 Swirled Bells look with a little chestnut roan fluid chalk to give them that antique feel. I stamped the Rubber Cafe's G-718 Vine Border stamp with black ink, crumpled the card stock up, inked the creases with the chestnut roan fluid chalk, hand trimmed the butterflies from the Graphic 45 Le Romantique paper collection. To give my stamped border just the right antique feel I added some Le Creme Baby Pearls from Want2Scrap™, added my swirled bells with a little bow

To create my card base I used the GC-001 Grand Calibur and LF-168 Grand Large Labels from Spellbinders™. I added a decorative border to the bottom of my card using S5-034 Parisian Accents, added a 2010 Pearl Swirl from Want2Scrap™ along with a decorative postage stamp hand trimmed from the pattern paper.

For the inside of my vintage card I stamped the Rubber Cafe's F-881 Love Words, die cut the Parisian Accent border and hand trimmed some roses from the pattern paper and adhered it all together using Beacon Adhesive. I hope you have enjoyed my first post for The Rubber Cafe and I look forward to creating many more amazing creations using their wonderful stamp. Thank you for stopping by and make sure to keep checking back to see what the other design team members have created. Happy Crafting, Terre
