Africa Pocket Letter by Susanne

It's me, Susanne today and it's my turn to give you some quick inspiration and I decided to show you a - guess what!? -

Pocket Letter!!!!


I know this is nothing new, BUT I used my very own Africa Stamps the first time in real rubber on this Pocket Letter. They are brand new in the Rubber Dance store. If you want to order some stamps in the Rubber Dance store you can use my special discount code "susanne2015" and you will save 15% on your order!

I used a gelli print as my letter basic and gave it some more color with gesso and Gelatos. To add a bit more interest I stamped the "Road Map" as well as the "Grunge Swirls" partial onto the background. The African images are all stamped on white cardstock. I cut them out and adhered them to the pocket cards. I picked Distress Inks to color the images and used the Silhouette Cameo and some Glitter Cardstock from DCWV for the "Africa" title.


I addition to the African Animals I stamped some hand carved images on the bottom.




I hope you like my newest Pocket Letter. See you soon, Susanne.

Love the background. It really unites the whole piece whilst allowing each pocket to also stand alone. The girafe looks fab against the darks and i like hiw the elephant crosses the two pieces. Lovely. Hugz

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:
