Can't Thank You Enough

Hello Rubber Cafe' Fans!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mom's out there.

Today I made a card that would be a great card for your Mom using the April Creative Cafe KOTM - Petticoat Fashion.  I used both of the stamp sets for this card, the main stamp set Hello, World and the add-on stamp set,  The Greatest Gift of Life.

To make this card, start with a 4 1/4" x 11" piece of yellow cardstock.

Use your Scor-Pal to score the panel at 3 1/2", 4 1/2", 6 1/2" and 7 1/2".

Valley fold on the score lines so that it looks like this.

I used the Sizzix Regal Framelits die set.
I used the largest die to make this cut on the card base.

This is how it will look after it's been cut.

Use the next size down to cut a panel out of the patterned paper.

Cut this piece in half.

Adhere the panels to the side of the card base with Scrap Happy Glue

Use the next size down dies and trace around the outside on pink patterned paper from the paper pack that comes with this months kit.

Use the same die to die cut a white panel and adhere to the hand cut pink panel with Scrap Happy Glue.

Stamp on the panel with various Memento Dye inks.

Then adhere the completed panel to the card base with Scrap Happy Glue.

Here's the view from the front.

That's it!
It is pretty easy to make and looks great!
I hope you'll give it a try!

How Are You?

Hello Rubber Cafe' Fans!

Kristine here with my second card that I made using the April Creative Cafe KOTM - Petticoat Fashion.  I used both of the stamp sets for this card, the main stamp set Hello, World and the add-on stamp set,  The Greatest Gift of Life.

Here is the front of my card.

What?!?!  Not impressed?!?!

ohhhhh.....that's because you didn't open it yet!

When you open it?

BAM!

Look at that beauty!  Who wouldn't love to receive this fabulous fun fold card?

I was inspired to create this because of a tutorial I saw on Splitcoaststampers but I'll recreate what I did here for you.

Start with a 8" by 6" panel of cardstock.

Use your Scor-Pal to score the panel at 2", 2 1/8" and at 6 1/8.

Cut another piece of cardstock measuring 6" x 8".

Score at 3/8" on each side of the panel.

Then measure 1/2" from the scored edged and 1/2" from the long edge and cut to create a frame.

Add Scor-tape to the sides of the edge you scored.

Fold the edges of the frame on the score lines and adhere to the card as shown below.

Fold the frame inward so that the card will close.

Open it back up and pop the frame out.

Now it's time to decorate!

Cut panels of patterned paper slightly smaller that the back portions and adhere to the card with Scrap Happy Glue,

Stamp multiple flowers and leaves and the hello sentiment with Memento dye inks.

Cut out the images.

Adhere to the frame.

Stamp the sentiment and ladybug on a white die cut oval.

Back with more die cut layers and adhere to card with foam. 

Add flowers and leaves to back panel with foam.

Add paper panels to the front and tie on the ribbon.

Finally, create a banner panel and stamp the sentiment on it.

That's it...a beautiful, fun fold card that is sure to be cherished by the recipient!

I hope you will give it a try!

Happy Sunday Rubber Cafe' Fans!

I am so excited to share my second project that I made with the March Rubber Cafe' Creative Cafe' Kit of the month, Special Celebration.

At first glance, it looks like a regular card...but you know me...I've got a secret inside...

To create this card I started with an 8 1/4" x 4 1/4" panel of pink cardstock.

I used my Scor-Buddy to score the panel at 5 1/2".

I adhered a 4" x 5 1/4" panel of patterned paper to the inside of the pink panel with Scrap Happy Glue.

I folded the flap up and then adhered a 2 5/8" x 4 1/8" panel of patterned paper to the front with Scrap Happy Glue.

Then I cut a 8 1/2" x 3 1/2" panel of sand cardstock  and scored it in half.

to create a gift card pocket I cut a  3 1/2" x 4 1/4" piece of patterned paper and scoring it on 3 sides at the 1/2" mark.

I folded in the three sides of the patterned paper and punched a half circle in the top.

I added scor-tape to the back edges.

Adhere the patterned paper envelope to the inside of the sand cardstock.

Then adhere this piece to the inside of the card.

Stamp sentiments on the inside.

The envelope holds a gift card.

Fold the panel up to close the card and then add a panel with the cupcake on it.

Tie a bow around the card to keep it closed and it's done!

This card is a great way to give a gift card to someone special for their birthday.

I hope you give it a try!

Then I adhered a 3" x 2 1/2" panel of patterned owl paper to the card with Scrap Happy Glue.

I added Queen & Co. red and yellow pearls.

A simple card that has that "WOW factor!

Hello

 Hello Rubber Cafe' Fans!

I am back with another tutorial using stamps from the Rubber Cafe'.

I will be back next month with card samples from our monthly card kit but until the card kits start again the design team ladies are sharing cards that we created using stamps from past kits that are currently on sale at 50% off!

This image is from the Grand Adventure Clear Stamp Set.

This was a pretty simple card to create.

I started with a 4" x 5 1/4" panel of red cardstock.

I cut a piece of patterned paper from my stash to 2" x 3 3/4" and adhered it to the red panel with Scrap Happy Glue

Then I added a strip of Queen & Co. Washi Tape.

Then I adhered the entire panel to a top folding black A2 card (5 1/2" x 4 1/4")

I stamped the scooter image with Memento Black Tuxedo Ink  on white cardstock and trimmed closely around the image.  The image was colored with Tombow USA colored pencils.

I backed the panel with a slightly larger red panel and then a slightly larger black panel.

I added three heart embellishments from Queen & Co.

The final step was to adhere the entire panel to the card with Scrap Happy Glu.e
