Nov/Dec Challenge

Hello again crafty friends - it's challenge time again here at Rubber Dance and we are feeling a bit festive! Christmas is just around the corner and so we have a wintry colour theme for our latest challenge and an (optional) theme of 'Tis the Season. Help us get in the Christmas spirit with those festive stamps!


We know that crafters get uber busy as the holiday season approaches so this challenge is a little more leisurely, running over two months instead of the usual one. BUT that means TWO prizes this time around! So double the chance of winning!


Nov/Dec Challenge:


You can find all the challenge info and rules on the challenge page - take a quick look
 before you create.

You could win this!!!
  • Our two randomly chosen WINNERS receive a voucher to spend in the Rubber Dance shop worth 35 euros!!!
  • The Design Team will choose our favourite entry - the DT Pick of the Month. No prize other than fame and glory ;-).
  • All entries using Rubber Dance stamps will get a special mention and our fave out of those will be our Honourable Mention for the month.
Winners will be announced on our blog on the 7th of the following month, so remember to check back to see if you won!

Here's some inspiration from the wonderful Design Team, of course using stamps from Rubber Dance, which you can find on our website: www.rubberdance.com

    I like this colour combination so much more than the usual red and green! Also a good idea to run the challenge for 2 months, as you say it's a busy period (especially for crafters..)

    3 great festive colours and some fab DT cards. Can I just check the rules....do your require all 3 colours to be used in entries? Or is it that you can use any of them...? Also can any other colours be used in addition to those of the challenge? Thanks for clarifying this and looking forward to joining in the fun. Merry Christmas! Hugs xx

    Hi Jane! As much as would love to see you using all three colours in your entry, our moodboard is merely meant as an inspiration and you can use any of the three - also in combination with other colours. Thanks for asking! :) Greetings from sunny Spain .... a few days left of my vacation here, not really in the Christmas mood just yet while it's so warm and summery .. ;-)
    Hugs back! xx

    I used the colours but for this first one I didn't use the theme and I think you won't mind that one. If it's a problem let me know. As always thank you for the challenge and for sharing your gorgeous inspirations with us. Bibi hope you enjoy the rest of your holiday huni Karen x

    Oh my goodness, I don't know what happened but my card appears multiple times! My computer froze while I was uploading and just tossed my card like confetti all over your blog! I hope you can remove the extra ones because I can't seem to find the delete option. I'm so sorry!

    Please try again, sweetie. The Linky tool had some sort of hick-up, no idea why it disappeared for some time but it's working again now.

    It just so happens that red, white and blue are my favorite color combos during the winter holidays. The blue and white are so fun for snowy days and red adds a pop of cheer!

    CASology Challenge Journey Card by Bibi

    Image
    If you are looking for DT Majo's post today, please click here. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with two CAS cards I've made for the current  CASology challenge , where the theme this week is JOURNEY: My tip: When using only a sentiment stamp on your card, you can add a bit of interest  by cutting out one of the words, frame it and adhere it with foam tape off to the side. For the third time this summer, Rubber Dance is sponsoring  CASology  -  a challenge blog that is all about  C lean  A nd  S imple (CAS).  Each week, we'll study  clean and simple design  using a cue word as our inspiration.  The design team will share their CAS creations and a little bit about their designs to inspire you to create a clean and simple card of your own!    Weekly challenges begin Tuesday mornings. Interpret the word on the weekly cue card however you'd like!  This is about creativi...

    A Day to Celebrate + GIVEAWAY!

    Image
    Hello, dear stamping friends all over the world!  Bibi here today with  THREE things to celebrate! Today is the Norwegian National Day , which is celebrated with childrens' parades and marching bands all over  the country. The proper way to greet a Norwegian on May 17th is to say, "Gratulerer med dagen!" (Literally:  Congratulations with the day ). This photo is from a parade in Oslo: May 17th is also my mum's birthday and today she's turning 75! After watching the parades, we're celebrating mum's big day with family and friends at her place. I have always made birthday cards for mum using the colours of our flag (red, white and blue), but this year I did something different and I know she likes these colours, too. Background paper made with spray inks. The flower stamps are from  Antique Botanicals .  The Happy Birthday is a die from Quietfire Design , and I put two die cuts on top of one another - white under blue for contrast ag...

    Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

    Image
    Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English...

    Altered Chipboard Butterfly + Giveaway

    Image
    Message in Norwegian : Hvis du foretrekker å lese dette innlegget på norsk, kan du gjøre det og samtidig bli med på giveawayen på den andre bloggen vår ved å klikke her. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with a fun project, using the Totem Monarch Poppet chipboard from EyeConnect Crafts . I had such a blast with this and I hope what I've made will inspire you to make something similar. The difference between the chipboards from EyeConnect Crafts and others ones I've seen out there, is that they are made to connect (hence the name). There are two categories, one called Lace-Ups which you bind together using ribbons, string, lace, etcetera and another category of chipboards with smaller holes so you can connect the pieces using tiny eyelets or brads. This is what it looks like. The pieces are laser cut, and you easily remove them from the base - save that part and use it as a stencil for another project. Notice there is also a chipboard of the butterfly's...
