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.

Easel Card With Textured Flowers

Image
Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today with a project using the new Textured Flowers stamps.  I loved these the moment I saw them.  Big beautiful blooms.  And many small er stamps for adding leaves and texture.   I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card.  There are many tutorials available but I used this one by Lois.  So here's my card using Textured Flowers and of course, a giraffe .......... I was inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours which for June are: I stamped the large simple daisy, masked and stamped two more.  I added the giraffe from African Animals .  I think I'll call her Daisy. I thought it looked a bit empty so I stamped more daisies...... and coloured with distress and d y e inks.  I stamped and embossed three of the doodled flowers and the giraffe, fussy cut and added them to my panel.  I used brads and a Cheery Lynn die cut for the flower centers.  I also doodled a little faux stitching

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop:
