Rubbernecker – Stormy Weather

Hello! Today I am sharing a friendship card showcasing the Fishing Boat die at Rubbernecker.

I have been sharing a lot of nautical cards of late. For this one, I wanted to use a different sentiment than “Ahoy” (or similar). My idea for the different sentiment came about after I inked clouds in the sky with the MFT Cloud Stencil. The sky indicated a storm was moving in. If I found myself in rough sea, I’d certainly prefer to be in a fishing boat rather than a sailboat! Of course, the Fishing Boat can be used for a nautical card with an “Ahoy” sentiment.
I created the sentiment on my computer and cut it with the Rubbernecker Deckle Frame die. I did something similar on this card.
I used the Lawn Fawn Ocean Wave Borders to cut the waves from two shades of blue cardstock.

Penny Black Stamping with Scooter – Puptastic

Hello! Today I am sharing a card created with the latest release at Penny Black – Stamping with Scooter! Click HERE to view the catalog. Click HERE for a video presentation of the new products with card ideas.

To create the card, I used the 30-830 Puptastic stamp set along with Penny Black die sets from previous releases.

I die-cut the grass (51-549 Garden Edgers), fence (51-623 Pretty Picket), clouds (51-033 Silver Linings), butterfly (51-610 Hydrangea), and flowers (51-635 Buckets of Flowers) to which I added the stamped, colored, and fussy-cut pup and duck.

Rubbernecker Dies – Gnomes on Vacation

Hello and Aloha! Today I am sharing a vacation-themed card created with Rubbernecker die sets. (Note: Rubbernecker is now Bliss & Brass.)

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.
