Most Wonderful Time of the Year!



    I just love this truck from Rubbernecker stamps! I die-cut a bunch from different colors of cardstock and went with a two-tone red truck for my winter card. I die-cut the grass and sponged green Color Fuse Inks on the white cardstock. The trees are die-cut from decorative paper and gold glitter paper.

I have so many plans for this truck, for Valentine's Day I'll be loading it with hearts, shamrocks for St. Patrick's Day, eggs or bunnies for Easter, flags and or firworks for the 4th of July... the possibilities are endless!!

Here are the Rubbernecker products that I used to make my card. Click on the image to go to the Rubbernecker Stamps online shop.

  • Cut out and set aside.

  • Stamp tan cardstock with the Graduated Horizontal stamp using white pigment ink.
  • Stamp snowflakes from the Snowman with Presents stamp set over the stamped tan panel.
  • Die-cut the stamped tan panel twice using a tag from the Nested Tag Stich Die Set.

  • Cut a wave at the top of white glitter paper and use the same tag die to cut the glitter paper just tall enough for the bottom of the tag.
  • Glue the glitter paper to the bottom of the tags and layer and glue the tags, one on red and one on green cardstock that has been die-cut with the same tag die having them be a bit offset.

    Believe Santa Gnome Card


    Hey my crafty friends, have you started on your Christmas cards yet?  If not tic toc... now is the time, and if you're short on time here's a quick and easy festive card that you can whip out in no time.  The new William Winter Gnome from Rubbernecker Stamps is colored with Prisma Colored Pencils  and glitter was applied to the trim of the hat.

    He was cut out and popped up on a white panel.  The plaid paper edge was die cut using the Borders #2 die set, isn't that cute!!  Once the papers were glued to a red top folding card, the sentiment Magic of the Season was stamped in black and a twine bow was tied on the top.

    Gold Glitter Christmas Card

    I know this may seem early but it's Christmas in July, if you start now and make a few each month, you won't be in a rush to make Christmas cards in December.  My card is quick and easy so if you have a lot to make this might be for you.  

    Here's how my card was made-

    • Die-cut the Tree In Oval from gold glitter paper, I used the Crossover II Fabric & Paper Cutting System.


    • Apply 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L to the backside of the die-cut piece.

    • Place this piece on a 4" x 5 1/4" cream cardstock panel and lightly mark the inside of the oval with a pencil.
    • Before removing the die-cut piece stamp the sentiment from the Wintery Friends Set with gold ink and emboss with clear embossing powder.
    • Randomly stamp snowflakes from the Snowmen with Presents Set.
    • Adhere the cream panel to a kraft and gold polka dot card.

    • Now adhere the die-cut piece to the card.
