Thanks Sew Much - card tutorial


Hello my dear crafty friends! It's Irit from the Design Team here. Welcome to my Rubber Dance tutorial post.

Today I am going to show you how to make a stamped card with a lot of stamps, inks, cardstock  and some very small embellishments and to make it three dimensional, fancy and full of life without any patterned paper or special mediums.




So I used a bunch of stamps from Rubber Dance new released set called Sew Sweet.
First I made a stamped background with a mix of stamps from this set and  4 colors of permanent inks.



Then I stamped smaller pieces and hand cut them as they will be used for the front cluster over the card.


For the next step I inked all pieces and my background with 3 distress brown inks.


I added twine over the cut out small spools and the lace over the large spool and connected the lace with 2 pearled pins. You can add buttons, more ribbons or pins; I decided to stop as I wanted the stamps to be seen! And so they are! In all its GLORY!


I added a sentiments using the Rubber Dance "thank you" stamp from the set called Just a Note, plus a few letter stickers.

I think that I am in love with this set and with this card!



Thank you for visiting!

Beautiful card, Irit! Lovely idea to use the stamped images as embellishments, just adding a little bit of twine and lace.
Thank you so much!

I looove your card, Irit! It was a very good idea to use lace and thread. It gave the card a completely different dimensionide. And the stamps - beautiful!

Ok - I am totally blown away by your card Irit - it's just FABULOUS. What an amazing display of the lovely stamp set. You really "stitched together" up every aspect of the set perfectly. Absolutely a work of art. j.

Art Journal Page with Distress Ink Background and Crazy Flowers

Image
Hi everyone! It's Susanne writing today. I used Distress Inks together with some of our Crazy Flowers to create the page in this art journal. It's a watercolor journal from Kunst & Papier, it's one of my favourites to use with Ink and watercolors. I didn't use any gesso to prime my page. The flowers are embossed with white powder on watercolor paper. I coloured them in in complementary colours, by dipping them into the Distress Inks, to let them pop from the background. Scroll down for the video tutorial. Enjoy watching the video: Thanks for stopping by today! xx Susanne Rubber Dance Stamps:

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...

Rubber Dance meets StarTrish Design!

Image
Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today to show you some awesome stamps that are NOT from Rubber Dance! As a stamp manufacturer myself and the owner of Rubber Dance, it has been years since I went shopping for stamps anywhere else..... However! When I saw that Trish Latimer had launched the first stamps from her own designs, I nearly fell off my chair in excitement!!! Her stamps - which you can see here - are quite big: 12 cm tall (!) and I knew right away that they would be a perfect match with the big flower stamps on Rubber Dance's set  Textured Flowers . I contacted Trish and we decided to do a collaboration..... .... and I'm proud to show you one of the gorgeous artworks that Trish has made,  and y ou can also see her  blog post about it here . Below are the very first cards that I made with two of Trish's adorable WordGirl stamps and some Textured Flower stamps from my own company (designed for Rubber Dance by DT member Susanne Rose). I received...
