August Challenge

A very good day to you and a warm welcome to our new challenge for August.

We've chosen a bright colour scheme this month to make your feel summery and the optional theme is: In the Garden. You can interpret it any way you want - think of anything you might find in the garden - flowers, plants, bugs, a bird table, a deck chair, your pet, a child's playset... use your imagination.

Our colours for August are:


Please take a quick look at the rules below before you create. 



  • We'll draw an overall WINNER at random who receives an an amazing grab bag of unmounted Rubber Dance stamps worth 25 Euro (at least!)
  • The Design Team will choose our favourite entry - the DT Pick of the Month. No prize other than fame and glory ;-).
  • All entries using Rubber Dance stamps will get a special mention and our fave out of those will be our Honourable Mention for the month.

Our winners can grab badges to proudly display on their blogs. Winners will be announced on our blog on the 7th of the following month, so remember to check back to see if you won!

Need some inspiration? Check out these examples! We have of course used stamps from Rubber Dance, which you can find on our website: www.rubberdance.com

    Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

    Image
    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:

    Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

    Image
    Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but
