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.

Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - October

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
