Heat Embossing with Rubber Dance Stamps

Hi everyone,

I hope you are having a fun weekend.  Today I am sharing another Rubber Dance You Tube Tutorial.  I have had great fun thinking of card designs to make using one of Rubber Dances new stamp sheets.  There have been four launched this month and I hope that I can tempt you to pop over and check them out!

This card features a couple of stamps from the new Vintage Birds (B2-L), a couple of stamps from the Maple Leaves set (NP2-M) and last but not least a lovely sentiment stamp from the Think Again (SET2-M) stamp sheet!  So this tutorial definitely asks you to look at the stamps you have in your Rubber Dance and other stamp collections and to be daring and mix them up a bit!


Cutting Guide:

Green Card Base:  11 1/2" x 5 3/4" scored at 5 3/4" or 29cm x 14.5 cm scored at 14.5cm
Cream Card, Front and Inner (Cut 2): 5 1/2" squares or 14cm squares
Cream Quote Card: 2" x 2 1/2" or 5cm x 6.5cm
Green Quote Card: 2 1/4" x 2 3/4" or 5cm x 7cm

As usual I have created a matching inner for this card and used one of the lovely Think Again sentiments to finish it off.  I think it goes quite well with the inspiring quote I have used from the Vintage Bird set.  What do you think?


I really hope you enjoy the You Tube tutorial.  If you are new to or are struggling with using Embossing Powders this one contains lots of hints and tips to help you master this form of stamping!


I have spent a lovely Saturday designing with my Rubber Dance stamps and I know you are going to love working with them too.  Here is the link so you can pop over to check out these and all the other stamps over at rubberdance.com.  You can meet us on Facebook too so please come on over and say hi! 

 Sign up to the Rubber Dance Blog while you are here to be sure you don't miss a thing!  Don't forget to check out the new monthly Colour Challenge as we would love you to join in the fun!  Enjoy the tutorial  X

Thank you for yet another great project and video tutorial, Helen! I would never have thought of combining the humming bird and maple seed stamps - but what a great match they are! :-))) Thank you!

Helen, this is a lovely card. What type of gluestick did you use to attach the rubber stamp to the block? I would hate to have my stamps all permanently attached. Thank you!

Art Journal Page with Distress Ink Background and Crazy Flowers

Image
Hi everyone! It's Susanne writing today. I used Distress Inks together with some of our Crazy Flowers to create the page in this art journal. It's a watercolor journal from Kunst & Papier, it's one of my favourites to use with Ink and watercolors. I didn't use any gesso to prime my page. The flowers are embossed with white powder on watercolor paper. I coloured them in in complementary colours, by dipping them into the Distress Inks, to let them pop from the background. Scroll down for the video tutorial. Enjoy watching the video: Thanks for stopping by today! xx Susanne Rubber Dance Stamps:

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...

CASology Week #202: Masculine (card by Bibi)

Image
Hello everyone! Bibi here today to show you a card I've made for the challenge at CASology, where the theme this week is to make a masculine card. "Heeeelp!", was my first reaction when I saw what their theme was, as I think it's really difficult to make cards for men! In addition, it must of course be CAS (= Clean And Simple), so I really had to step outside of my comfort zone....., but that's the point of a good challenge, isn't it? :-) Anyway, it was a post by  DT Kristiina  (on our Scandinavian blog ) that came to my rescue! If you haven't seen her post , you really should! The text is in Swedish, but there are lots of awesome project photos that speak for themselves. Kristiina had used stamped letters as the only "images" on her cards and I was very impressed by what she made, so I took out my Alphabet Uno stamps  (same as Kristiina had used), and what do you know - they spoke to me right away! Thank you, Kristiina! :-D And here...
