Happy New Year and the January Challenge

Hello Rubber Dance Fans.  We hope you have had a wonderful christmas and we would like to wish you all the best for a happy, healthy and crafty 2019!!   Happy New Year everyone.

 Gail here today with the January news..... 

Rubber Dance Stamps has made a very swift and successful move to Germany and Susanne Rose, the new owner, has been busy pressing and sending stamps.  I hope you took advantage of the very generous re-start offer!!  Since Susanne has taken over the business I am moving into the design team leader spot and will be managing day to day blog things and also popping up regularly in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge.

Today see the start of the January challenge which is now based in the facebook group.


Oooh, gorgeous chilly colours this month and/or the option to use something new.   Did you get some new Rubber Dance stamps in the sale?  Or do you have some that haven't seen ink yet??  Or do you have some other new goodies you can combine with your Rubber Dance stamps??  Or you can use the colours of course.  I do like a bit of blue LOL.  Hope to see your makes in the Lounge soon. 

 The fun continues here on the blog with the team posting inspiration throughout the month and don't forget, if you have used Rubber Dance stamps on your makes, you can link them up to the Forever Challenge here on the blog for another chance to win!!!

Happiness is a state of mind - Art Journal Page

Image
Hello Everyone, Shilpa from the Design Team here. I am sharing with you a journal spread, for which I've used Rubber Dance Nostalgic Couples , Something Wonderful and few other stamp sets. Here's my procedure... To make the texture on the journal page, first I cut out this piece using a die. I adhered that die cut pieces on pages and applied embossing paste through stencil.  Let it dry completely.   To bring colours to the page I spritzed randomly with  Peacock Feather, Wilted Violet, Faded Jeans and Vintage Photo distress inks. To create one more layer I stamped circles and text on the page. In addition I applied colours from distress crayons to create depth. I stamped the Nostalgic Couple on another paper with black archival ink and coloured it with distress markers.   I adhered a few embellishments and ephemera and layered the lovely couple image onto it. On the other page, I added words fro

I Wish I Could Art Journal - by Bibi

Image
Hey everyone! I'm not sure whether what I've made for today can be called an art journal page or altered canvas, because it's really neither .. It's not a page in a journal and the "canvas" is a piece of cardboard, so... maybe it's a hybrid of sorts. No matter what it's called, here it is! And this is what it looks like with the guitar flap open: The reason why I made this .. "whatever it's called" .... is that I've had this bundle of guitar string-looking wire lying on the floor in my studio for some time. Yes, on the floor! (If you thought I'm a very neat and tidy person, I'm sorry to burst the illusion). I've no idea where that wire bundle came from, and I'm not sure why I hadn't bothered to pick it up... but I've looked down on it from time to time, thinking I could probably use it for something, some fine day... .... and then, a few weeks ago a friend of mine was visiting, he pic

Back from The Netherlands

Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today, typing to you from my new keyboard .... Isn't that speck-tacular?  But what does my "new" keyboard have to do with my trip to The Netherlands? Keep reading and you'll soon find out ... As our regular blog readers will know, I spent a week in The Netherlands earlier this month. The main reason I went there was so I could go to the ARTSpecially stamp show in Nijkerk to meet my Dutch retailer - Marian, who owns Hobbycompleet de Duif . But before that, my sweetheart and I spent some days in Amsterdam, one of my fave places in the world! The huge "I amsterdam" letters on the plaza behind Rijksmuseum (National Gallery). Any toursist with respect for herself will take 100's of photos of those letters.... It was colder in April than I had expected, and the spring was indeed late this year.   Even so, the famous Tulip Festival was on. Here I am by the pond (still at the Rijksmuseum plaza) where tho
