The Rubber Buggy and smooching technique

Today at The Rubber Buggy I am sharing a fun technique I just learned.. call smooching.. and also highlighting products .... Maja Design A Gift for You Collection. 

However first I used Modeling Paste and a stencil cut with cricut.. Star shapes... and add a thin layer of paste over the background paper.

It's not over powering.. but definitely adds texture.

Next using a plastic bag over your fingers.. do one of two things your choice... 1. add paint to bowl, lid or tray and add small amount of water to thin it out. Take the plastic bag over your finger and dab into paint .. now pat and smooch over the page. OR 2. put the plastic bag over your fingers and add ink from the ink pad to the bag and spray with a small amount of water and dab and smooch over page. When done with the 1st colour you can wipe off and dry with a paper towel and now repeat with more colours. Above is the sample of my background smooching. I tried both ways and it worked great.

Above is my finished page starting with smooching and then fun layers, accents and photos to finish off my page.

Supply List:
The Rubber Buggy Products:
Paper: Maja Design A Gift for You
Ink: Tim Holtz ranger distress ink 
Other: Bella Creationz Twine, stickles, glossy accents
Cricut cut file: Scrapbook Stamps Society SVG cut files, 

Paint, color box, Liquitex modeling paste, Studio 71 gesso

In the close ups you can view some details better. This section shows the smooching, the fun cricut cut title and border ornaments along with the corner twine tied accent.

This section shows the fun twine tied slanted border and cute santa accent.

Really cute tags came as part of the paper.. cut them all apart and clustered them for a cute accent.

This close up shows that one photo was trimmed leaving some white border and the other photo was print paper matted.

I enjoyed sharing this project with you today.. and sure hope you'll try both ways of smooching using a plastic bag and watered down colours.

The Rubber Buggy celebrates a Graduation

My post today shares my only Grand Son's Graduation. I thought the car papers was a perfect touch for a guy masculine page even for graduation. So today at The Rubber Buggy I am using Maja Design Summer Crush.

Supply List:

The Rubber Buggy Products
Paper: Maja Design Summer Crush
Chipboard: Blue Fern Studios Flutter Page Dangles
Markers: copic
Ink: Tim Holtz ranger ink
Other: stitch, brads
Title: cricut cut files. SSS SVG film strip
Cardstock: misc

I matted the main sheet to add more layers and colours . The title is cricut cut... and I mated the photo twice.. one thin and one wide mat... used ink on the edges.

I  hand cut the pennants and inked the edges to make them pop and the colours are all so light and soft.

In this section I cut SSS SVG filmstrip and add very small photos .. some great ones of our school logo and one with  Jake and his parents. Also add the great chippie from the Blue Fern Studios Collection which is copic coloured.

  

Thanks for stopping by.. come again anytime.

SVG Saturday is always fun. It allows us to play with new and fabulous cut files from Scrapbook Stamp Society with Sherri Baldy. I used the  Snowflake border and the Christmas Trees.

AND today is your lucky day.. I have a 2nd project to share using an amazing SVG file.

Using this super fun layered and window box insert.. it's all SVG cut for layering. Makes a great card but I am all about using SVG and digi files on my layouts for a great accent.

It's really new.. called Fairy Fae Silhouette.. watch for her to be in store soon.

On this page I used Paper House Products... Nature Paper pix, 3D floral stickers, and some of the newest puffy stickers in the title.

Treasured Scrap Friends using The Rubber Buggy products and Blue Fern Studio monthly sketch

Today is The Rubber Buggy blog post using Blue Fern Studios Paisley & Vine collection along with the Blue Fern Studios sketch of the month.

Supply List:

The Rubber Buggy Products:
Paper: Blue Fern Studios Paisley & Vines
Doily:Unique
Stamp: Blue Fern Studios Deja Vu, Halftone
Chipboard: Blue Fern Studios Daisies Collage
Markers: copics
Ink: Tim Holtz Ranger
Sketch: Blue Fern Studios sketch
Other: Bella Creations timeless twine, signo white gel pen, micron 01 black pen, SVG cut files, cricut cut title, ranger stickles, ranger glossy accents

In this close up I used the matted doily to lighten up this section from the dark print background to place the copic coloured chipboard and finished with stickles for glitter.

In this section show case with the pop of red in the cricut cut title and the SSS SVG scalloped cut file and also added some red twine tied off in a bow. The title has glossy accents to give it a shiny finish.

A better view of the scalloped border with twine accent. And here is the closer look at using the Halftone stamp on the right side. 

So many of us have lots of stamps that we usually use on cards only.. well not any more. Think outside the box and use those that could be a perfect accent on our layouts too. Here is  one of the journal size tags from the paper collection and rather than writing on it I stamped it with Blue Fern Studios Deja Vu and also Halftone. It was a perfect accent.

  

Thanks for stopping by.. I love sharing with you. See you again soon.
