Funny and Happy Birthday!

Hi Everyone

Today I am bringing you a tutorial using the latest stamps from Rubber Dance - Happy Birthday and Funny Birthday!  I love them both and they worked really well together for my card.


These were such fun to make - a great way to use up your patterned papers too!  Pick a patterned paper to suit your recipient match it with two plain colours of card - one dark and one light and off you go.  The tutorial below will show you how:


Cutting Guide:

Dark Base Card - 8" x 8" scored at 4" or 20 cm x 20 x cm scored at 10 cm
Patterned Paper (Cut 2) - 3 3/4" x 7 3/4" or 9 cm x 19 cm
Light Inner card - 3 1/2" x 7 3/4" or 8 cm x18 cm
Light Tags for stamping (Cut 4) - 3 14" x 1 1/4" or 8cm x 3cm
Dark Tag frames (Cut 4) - 8.5cm x 3.5cm
Patterned Tabs (Cut 2) - 2 3/4" x 1" or 6.5cm x 2.5cm
Dark Card Tabs (Cut 2) -2 7/8" x 1 1/8" or 7cm x 1 1/8" or 7cm x 3cm


As usual I have made the inside match the outside which was the perfect excuse to use the Happy Birthday set for a more traditional greeting but in fabulously on trend fonts!  I love both these sets and I know you will too!

Check out the new stamps by following this link.
Did you know that there's a SALE right now? Details are on the website!

Until next time I hope your Christmas preparations are on track and that you are still finding time to craft.  If you have a spare moment or two why not join in with our colour challenge this month.  Click on this link to play along.  There are stamps to be won!!!!

Sending you Seasons Greetings.

Klikk her for info på norsk (info in Norwegian) Hello, gorgeous! Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are! Our colour scheme and theme this month might not come as a big surprise. After all, fall/autumn is all around us (here in the north, anyway), and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our October Challenge: Did you know that "fall" is an Old English word? It replaced the word 'harvest' in the early 1600s as more people started moving into cities. City dwellers began to use the phrase 'fall of the leaf'' and, over time, the phrase was shortened to fall. Surprisingly, etymologists don’t know where the word "autumn" comes from. It was used as far back at the 1300s (by Chaucer), and Shakespeare often used the word, too. As English spread to the New World, the common season names split as well and today, American English uses the word fall while British English
