Two for One!

Hi Everyone

Todays video tutorial shows you how to take a card design or element you like and use it to make another card……or more!!!


I used stamps from the brand new Da Vinci (DAV1-L) stamp set to create my cards today and you will see how I made this cute daisy panel in the video.  I knew I wanted to focus entirely on this lovely stamped image so I framed it to create this elegant card.

 Although on the video I show you how to make an inner using a quote stamp that comes with this set I thought at the time this design would make a great card for sending a note to someone to say thanks or just to let them know you are thinking about them.  Thinking ahead to Christmas you could make a set of these cards with different colour daisies and stamp a few matching envelopes, tie them up with a bow and you have a lovely gift for a friend or a stocking filler for your Mum!

I loved the little daisy tile so much I just had to take it one step further…….


Check out the tutorial to see how I expanded on the original idea to create this card.  I even coloured and stamped my ribbon to match!

I had to cut a mask for my entry in the challenge but it created too much of a halo, and it took me a while to get it right! Yours worked brilliantly first time, love the clean design of these cards. Thanks for the video.

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...

Rubber Dance meets StarTrish Design!

Image
Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today to show you some awesome stamps that are NOT from Rubber Dance! As a stamp manufacturer myself and the owner of Rubber Dance, it has been years since I went shopping for stamps anywhere else..... However! When I saw that Trish Latimer had launched the first stamps from her own designs, I nearly fell off my chair in excitement!!! Her stamps - which you can see here - are quite big: 12 cm tall (!) and I knew right away that they would be a perfect match with the big flower stamps on Rubber Dance's set  Textured Flowers . I contacted Trish and we decided to do a collaboration..... .... and I'm proud to show you one of the gorgeous artworks that Trish has made,  and y ou can also see her  blog post about it here . Below are the very first cards that I made with two of Trish's adorable WordGirl stamps and some Textured Flower stamps from my own company (designed for Rubber Dance by DT member Susanne Rose). I received...
