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.

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: ...

I want to fly!

I used one of the Aztec images from the set * Aztec Art Dolls *. To me it looked like it wanted to take off and fly :) The words come from the sets * Fly with me * and * Affirmations *.  I created my background using Distress Inks with different stencils on a Sizzix die *Postage Frame*.   You can find the stamps here at the shop:   http://www.rubberdance.com And as a special treat, please use "MAJO2016" to receive a 15% discount on your next order! Have a lot of fun crafting! Love Majo ♥

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...
