A Leafy Hello


Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today and I have fallen in love with the leaf stamps from Rubber Dance.  This set - NP1-M: I Love Leaves - has a variety of leaves in all shapes and sizes. 



You can easily cut apart the stamps and use them independently, but I opted to keep the sheet of rubber whole and use it as a background stamp.  I wanted to stay with a fall theme, so I used greens and browns.  After inking the stamp with assorted colors of Clearsnap chalk ink, I stamped a panel of white cardstock. 


After inking the edges of the panel with brown ink, I matted it with 2 colors of brown cardstock, then  wrapped some coordinating ribbon around the panel before adding it to the green card.


Several leaves were fussy cut and scrunched to give them a more realistic look.  They were added to the card with foam adhesives under the ribbon.    The sentiment (JNEN-2E: Just a note) was tied to the ribbon with some twine.

To see more of the stamps available, visit the Rubber Dance store.


Supplies:
Stamps:  Rubber Dance
Ink:  Clearsnap
Cardstock:  Bazzill


Thanks for stopping by today.

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

Image
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
