Rubbernecker – Gnomes on the Beach

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card showcasing the Gnome Couple die set at Rubbernecker. I previously featured this die set on a card here.

Rubbernecker - Gnomes on the Beach

  • I die cut the Gnome Couple from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
  • I die-cut the Palm Trees from colored cardstock. Before assembling the trees, I added Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink to help blend the two cardstock colors.
  • I die-cut the Lifeguard Tower from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
  • I stamped the sentiment on to white cardstock and added inks for the sky and sand. This is my “go to” sentiment for gnome-themed cards.

Rubbernecker Dies – Gnomes on Vacation

Hello and Aloha! Today I am sharing a vacation-themed card created with Rubbernecker die sets. I purchased winter supplies from Rubbernecker at the end of last year, and I’ve recently added more dies to my collection.

Rubbernecker Dies - Gnomes on Vacation

  • I die cut the Gnome Couple from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
  • I die-cut the Palm Trees from colored cardstock. Before assembling the trees, I added Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink to help blend the two colors.
  • I die-cut the Beach Bag with accessories from colored cardstock and assembled the pieces.
  • I printed the sentiment on to white cardstock on my computer and cut it with the frame.
  • I blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide onto a rectangle. I blended Desert Sand ink on to cardstock and cut it with a die in the Deckle Hills set.
  • I adhered the Deckle Frame to the sky and sand with foam adhesive. I added the palm trees to the scene, followed by the gnome couple and the beach bag, which are popped up with foam and fall outside of the scene.
  • I added the framed assembly to an orange cardstock base.

Patriotic Fourth of July Card

Hello! Today, I am sharing a patriotic card for the Fourth of July.

Patriotic Fourth of July Card

  • I started with the Reverse Confetti Big Polkas Cover Panel, which I cut from Polar White cardstock. (You can see a Christmas-themed card featuring this cover plate here.)
  • I cut circles in red, two shades of blue, and Polar White with a circle die, sized slightly larger than the holes in the cover plate; I taped the circles to the frame on the back.
  • I used the Taylored Expressions Star Stacklets to cut stars out of navy and red cardstock. I attached the stars to the panel.
  • I used a now-retired set (TE Caps Lock – USA) to cut the letters from Polar White cardstock. (I cut the letters twice for additional depth.)
  • I created the smaller sentiment on my computer and cut it with a banner die.

Nautical-themed Die-cut Card

Hello (or should I say ahoy?)! I am always enthusiastic about crafting anything nautical-themed. I’ve been interested in all things nautical my entire life, even though I didn’t spend my childhood anywhere near the water.

Today’s card features the Memory Box Marina Sailboats. I chose a favorite color scheme of red, white, and blue for the boats.

Nautical-themed Die-cut Card

  • I cut the sailboats from red (SU Real Red), white, and navy (SU Night of Navy) cardstock. I trimmed pieces in order to change the color of the hulls.
  • To create the background, I applied white embossing paste to SU Daffodil Delight cardstock through the MFT Radiating Rays stencil. I used Dreamweaver white embossing paste, which I can no longer find online. I’m looking for a replacement and welcome any suggestions!
  • I created the sentiment by cutting the letters twice, once in white and once in red (SU Real Red), with the Cole’s ABCs dies. I offset the letters when I adhered them.
  • I used the Lawn Fawn Ocean Wave Borders to cut the ocean from Memory Box cardstock. The wave die set includes three wave patterns (three different sizes of the waves); I used all three.
