Rubber Dance Art Stamps - Blog

Hello everyone! It's Olga again here today and I will try to inspire you :-) I hope you all enjoy this new day and have some time for new creations ;-) I want to share with you my new winter card "Happy holidays". It's again a little vintage and very snowy :-) I love snow and I love to add gesso, texture paste and some glitter to make my winter cards more natural. I used some of the stamps from the set Pines Fir Yew stamped with green acryl paints, and StazOon for the phrase Happy holidays. You all know that I love to use stamps with paint and StazOn and then cut them from the paper and put on my card.  I really love how it looks a nd I hope you will like it too :-))) Notice how I put a dew drop over the 'o' in Holidays. I think it adds a cute detail. I didn't use a lot of decor for this card and I love how it came out. Let's create something sweet and cute for our friends and families!!! :-)  Wish you a wonderful day! B...

Hi everyone! It's me, Susanne, today and I've another Christmas decoration today to share with you. I loved loved loved how the awesome Pine Fir Yew stampes turned out when they were embossed on the cards in my previous post. This time I did nearly the same. The only difference is that I embossed them on white vellum! Awesome! What do you think? I used my Silhouette Studio Cutting file from my last lantern and added a new window style. I cut everything out of red cardstock and added some "snow" using white acrylic paint, some white texture paste and finally lots of Distress Glitter Clear Rock Candy! I cut my vellum and embossed the stamped images with white detail embossing powder. After I adhered them into my lantern I ripped some of the paper out to create the look of broken glass. I used this funny sentiment stamp from Rubber Dance. I love it!  It's so charming! I also used the fir branch in a more traditional way. I stamped it on white pap...

Hi everyone, Steph Ackerman here today with some lovely stamps from Rubber Dance.  I've used the stamp set Pines Fir Yew, and began by randomly stamping the white gift bag. I inked up the entire sheet of rubber stamps with shades of brown ink.  Leaving the rubber flat, I placed a sheet of beige cardstock on top and used a brayer to transfer the images to the cardstock.  I cut the panel to fit and matted it with kraft cardstock.  I also inked up some ribbon so it coordinated better with my project. A Spellbinders die was cut from beige cardstock and added just above the ribbon.  Stickers spelled out Fall.  Using the same stamps, inks and papers as the gift bag, I made a coordinating card. I totally love these stamps and hope you do, too. Thanks for stopping by today.

​ Hello everyone! It's guest designer Ashley here again, and today I am sharing two coordinating tags I made with the Travel stamp set and the Beach stamp set. These stamps remind me of vintage, muted, kind of messy things so I tried my hand at something not normally my style. For my first tag, I used a mask + misting on the background. The beautiful blue mist reminded me of the ocean. I stamped the sea shell stamps on the tag and heat embossed them with gold. Then I used a navy ink to stamp the sentiment a few times on a piece of patterned paper. I misted with gold and then cut it out in bits and pieces. Of course I heat embossed around the edges of my card with metallic blue embossing powder. For my next tag, I wanted it to coordinate with the vintage/travel theme but not be too matchy matchy. So for this one I blended distress ink for the background. I used walnut stain + antique linen distress inks which blend so beautifully and I think make the perfect ...

Hi everyone! It's me, Susanne, today and I'd like to show you a Christmas decoration piece. It's a star luminary. I love little lights all around the house when it's dark and cold outside. I stamped the lantern with the beautiful images from the "Pine Fire Yew" stamp set from Rubber Dance. I used craft cardstock for my lantern. After I cut my pieces I stamped my images with Versamark and embossed them with white detail embossing powder. I put some vellum on the inside of my luminary windows. The one on the side you see above is embossed with an embossing folder. After I glued everything together I painted the edges with some white acrylic paint. I inserted some LED fairy lights. The stamps I used come from this sets from Rubber Dance  (image is reduced - the stamps are much bigger!) Thanks for stopping by! Susanne
