Mini-album Box by Guest Designer Lee Thompson


When I first heard about Rubber Dance back in May, I instantly fell in love with the company and I think Bibi's stamps are amazing!  I'm so exicted that she asked if I wanted to guest design for her.

I have been sitting on a project for almost a year, not quite sure where I wanted to go with it.   I had papered the box and tags and then the project stalled.  Once I was asked to guest design, I decided I wanted to use the Retro Beach stamps!  






The Retro Beach stamps are gorgeous.  The Sea Mesh background stamp is one of my favorites and I have been using it for all sorts of textures.  I used every stamp on the sheet in this project.









I stamped with Distress Ink, and then I sprayed the stamped images with water.  The water made the ink wick and I figured it was a great effect for a beachy project. This is why the stamps are a bit blurry.  



I used embossing powder on the edges and images to stand in for sand.  



I hope you have enjoyed my mini-album and box made with the Retro Beach stamps from Rubber Dance.

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between

Penguins Playing

Hi everyone, I hope you have enjoyed the Christmas and New Year season and are raring to go in 2018.  The best part of having stamps is just having fun with them! So my cards today are all about having fun. The  Playful Penguins  have been catching my eye for some time. After making one card, the penguins kept looking at me - so I made another one! I couldn't decide which one to post so I'm sharing BOTH cards with you today. The background for this was super easy - it was some scrap card from playing with my gelli plate.   Now it's fair to say that I really have no idea what I'm doing when I use my gelli plate, so everything is accidental.  I like it that way though, it's fun to just enjoy the process and to not over-think it. Then it was as simple as adding some stenciling, embossing and stamping.  The penguins were stamped onto some scrap card left over from playing with distress oxides, and cut out. The penguins were defined a little with
