Ruby RockIt: Happy Days

Hello!!

Sharing some more card inspiration for Ruby Rock-It today.

Making an easel card is super fun and a great creative spin on a classic card  The base construction of them is similar, so try mixing them up by changing the shape. 

Ruby Rock-It!! Products:

Fundamentals Basic A6 Cards FL62 Black, Ruby Rock-It!! Happy Days - Bouquet ,Chit Chat & Patchwork, Distress Ink 

Other:

SpellBinder Die, Foam Tape

I have used a Fundamental Basics A6 card  and a spellbinders die  to create the base easel:

Place one edge of the die on the fold of the card and run through the die cutting machine to create the  hexagon shape.  

Die Cut a single hexagon shape from one side of another A6 card - Unfold the card and place the die in the middle of one side.  Run through the machine. 

**Tip - the window effect created creates a great peak a boo card for another creation** 

Fold one side of the folded card in half

Attach adhesive tape to the folded edge and place the single die cut shape  over the top.

 Cover the top and bottom of the card with pieces die cut from Happy Days Chit Chat.

Ink the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  

 Fussy cut flowers from Happy Days Bouquet and larger bloom from Patchwork

 Attach across the top right hand corner and bottom left base corner with foam tape.

 Fussy cut the branch and bird from Happy Days Chit Chat 

Attach over flowers - Add a sentiment also cut from the Chit Chat paper.

Ruby Rock-It!! Exploding Box Card

Hello Everyone!

Popping in today sharing a fun exploding box card creation. 

 With Mother's Day just around the corner, this would make a beautiful card from the heart for the one who is dearly loved and so very special.

Ruby Rock-It! Products:

Bella! Kraftastic KG43 Glittered Wigwam, Bella! Botanical CHE60 Montage

Other:

Felt Flowers, Toadstools, Miniature Fence, Stick On Lady Bug, Ribbon, Decorative Corner Punch, Sticker Sentiment 

The box was created from Bella! Kraftastic Glittered Wigwam.  The weight of the cardstock was perfect for creating a great structural base.

To create the box:

Trim the cardstock down to 7" x 12"

Remove 1.5" from one side (don't discard, this will be used to create inserts for the inside of the card)

Score at 2.5" intervals (score marks should be at 2.5", 5", 7.5 and 10")

There now should be 3 intervals measuring 2.5" and 1 that measure 1/2"

Cut along the 1/2" score line 3" down from the top.  Cut horizontally across the 1/2" distance to remove and create a tab.

Cut along the other score lines 3" down from the top.

Score along the cut edges and fold down 3 of the flaps.  The one that is not folded will create the back  support of the card.

Fold flat along all score lines, attach together with some adhesive tape along the created tab edge.

To create inserts:

Trim 1.5" x 7" piece in half.

Score 1/2" in at either end for each piece.

Fold at score lines and attach to the folded sides in the top of the card - these will be used to adhere embellishments to

Now the fun part!

Decorating!!

   I cut out floral and toad stool elements from Botantical Monatage paper.  I attached to the top of the card flaps and then punched the corners with a decorative corner punch.

 Add the larger felt flowers first with the miniature fence and toadstools.

I then attached some more fussy cut elements from the Montage paper the flowers, fence and toadstools to create a happy garden scene.

Ruby Rock-It: Believe In The Magic of Christmas

Hello Everyone!

I have been getting into the Christmas spirit with the gorgeous Christmas Dreams Collection.  I have coordinated some festive magic with some brand new colours from the Francheville card making range to create an easel card. 

 The new card range consists of Teal, Metallic Bronze, Metallic Pearl, Pink, Blue, Boysonberry and Ivory.

Ruby RockIt! Products:

Christmas Dreams 12x12 Paper Pad & 6x6 Paper Pad

Fundamentals Bitty Bows FTE17, Ruby Rock It Happy Days Droplets HYE18, Distress Ink Mermaid Lagoon

Other:

Scalloped and Plain Circle Cutting Dies, Roller Die Cutting Machine 

To create the easel card:

Position a scalloped circle die over the folder edge of the Francheville card. I have worked with one of the new colours - pink.

 Run the card through the die cutting machine.  Also die cut a single scalloped circle from another card (I used Ivory) or plain cardstock.

Fold over one have of the scalloped circles towards the fold  

Tip: Try and match the scalloped edges

Now attach the individual scalloped circle to the folded part 

This is what the reverse of my card looks like:

Decorate the card surfaces with coordinating patterned papers from the Christmas Dreams 6 x 6 Paper Pad. Ink the  paper edges with Mermaid Ink Distress Ink. 

I die cut scalloped circles and smaller plain edged circles.  I layered these, adding foam dots for a little dimension. 

I also fussy cut a larger 'fun' element from the 12 x 12 Paper Pad.  I added this to the front of card

**Tip - Unfold the card before rolling through the machine**

 From the white glitter paper die cut a decorative frame and attach around the outer edge of the circle window.

Die Cut some foliage elements from gold glitter paper and arrange around the decorative window frame.  Fussy cut elements from patterned papers and arrange over the bottom right corner.

Add a festive sentiment from one of the larger papers from the 12 x 12 New Traditions Paper Pad.

Sweet Sentiments

Hello Lovelies!

Today I something a little sweet and sentimental created with Graphic 45 'Sweet Sentiments' Collection. This just makes my heart swoon with it's pretty toning's, flowers, hearts and wee rabbits and is available in the Sassy Scrapper Store HERE 

Sweet Sentiments

The base is a more neutral toning from the Secret Garden and a shadow box effect was created with the outer frame trimmed from the 'Sweet Sentiments' Paper. To add a little depth, this was adhered around the outer edge of the base page with foam tape.

 A large floral frame element was die cut (with my cricut) from the reverse of the 'All My Love' paper and tucked in under the edges. Decorative punched edges were added to thinner strips trimmed from 'Perfect Petals' and tucked in over the top.

Fussy Cut elements from ' Sweet Sentiments', 'Perfect Petals,'Violet Bouquet'  and 'Easter Greetings' were arranged and layered to add embellishment.

Happy Easter and beautiful blessings to you all sweet friends
