Rubbernecker | Die-cut Mini Slimline Scene

Hello! Today, I am sharing a summer-themed, mini-slimline card created with Rubbernecker dies and stamp set. There are a number of occasions for which this card would work.

Create focal elements

Die-cut Beach Chairs and Macrame Planters from white and colored cardstock. (I am fond of Adirondack chairs and have used them as a focal element on many cards!)
Glue pots to rope hangers.

Create frame, sentiment, and background

Die-cut the Mini Slimline Tabbed Scallop Stitch frame from white cardstock.
Stamp and heat-emboss the Just Saying Hello Floral sentiment on green cardstock. Cut with the Slimline Grass Die.
Trim grass panel as necessary and secure to the back of the frame.
Cut Peak Fence #4 from white cardstock. Secure to the back of the frame.
Tape tops of Macrame Planters to back of the frame.
Attach patterned paper background to mini-slimline base. Add to frame assembly.

Assemble and Embellish

Add Beach Chairs with foam adhesive.
Cut flowers and foliage with Small Flowers #4, Tiny Flowers #2, and Leaves and Greenery dies.
Add Nuvo drops to flower centers. Set aside to dry.
Add flowers and foliage to Macrame Planters.
Add Small Butterflies in upper-left corner.

Spellbinders | Color Block Mini Shapes Collection

Hello! I was recently a guest on the Spellbinders blog showcasing the Color Block Mini Shapes Collection. These cards combine my love of die-cutting, color, and patterns.

My projects use the Hexagons, Squares, and Diamonds from the collection paired with a sentiment from the Be Bold Glimmer Sentiments set. I would be delighted if you would head on over and leave a comment.

Penny Black | Thank You Bouquet

Hello! Today I am sharing a card created combining Penny Black supplies – dies, background stamp, and clear stamp set. I previously created similar cards that can you see here and here.

I primarily used Bazzill Card Shoppe cardstock on this card. The specific colors are listed below. I have found starlitstudio.net to be a great resource for Bazzill Card Shoppe.

Stamp Enlightened background on Citrus Slice card base with Memento Cantaloupe ink for a tone-on-tone look.
Cut Creative Curves from Robin’s Egg cardstock; back with Jawbreaker panel.
Cut Daisy Delight from white and Caramel Apple cardstock. Trim off blooms and add to stems. Color centers of flowers with Copic markers Y 32 and Y 38.
Cut Penny Black Mason Jar (available on the Penny Black website) from Sea Glass cardstock. Cut a slit in the jar for the stems; color with Distress Oxide ink for dimension. Slip assembled flowers through the slit and tape on back. Tie natural twine around the top.
Stamp Flower Teddy sentiment on white cardstock in black ink. Trim with banner die.
Add Creative Curves assembly to card base. Add assembled jar and flowers. Add sentiment strip. Embellish with butterfly cut with die in the Penny Black Flights of Fancy set (available on the Penny Black website).

Supplies: Penny Black Daisy Delight, Creative Curves, Flights of Fancy and Mason Jar die sets; Penny Black Flower Teddy and Enlightened stamp sets
