Christmas Card by Susanne.

Hi my dear Rubber Dance Friends!

This will definitely be my last Christmas Card to share! I used the Cozy Christmas Set and the Frosty Friends Set. I tried to work with non-traditional colors.

For the background I used Twinkling H2Os to stamp the cones. On my main image I used the big bow first, cut a mask from scrap paper and stamped the candle on top. So the result is the candle sits behind the bow. I colored the images with Distress Inks. To be true. This card is not my style. I was sure nobody likes it. But no. A friend of mine picked some of my Christmas cards and she also chose this one! (For her grandma - LOL).

I wish you some awesome holidays and a Happy New Year! Hugs, Susanne.

Always Sparkle - Envelope Book Tutorial by Sue

Image
Good afternoon and happy Saturday, welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my envelope book. Making your own books and journals is very popular at the moment, and I wanted to have a go. I also wanted to use supplies that I had already as it's just after Christmas and I'm already in 2022's craft budget. So I have quite a few of these -  Colour Craft lustre paints. Loads of these - rather posh DL pearlised envelopes. I bought a box full in a closing down sale, so have a box full less 3! And these, my favourite bright StazOn inks. So to work (well play really, I'm making it all up as I go along) I started by painting my envelopes with the paints, then added some stencilling in a contrasting colour. I've used totally different colours so that I've got a choice of colours for my toppers. I've used metallics on this one and they are really nice! For the 'in between

Penguins Playing

Hi everyone, I hope you have enjoyed the Christmas and New Year season and are raring to go in 2018.  The best part of having stamps is just having fun with them! So my cards today are all about having fun. The  Playful Penguins  have been catching my eye for some time. After making one card, the penguins kept looking at me - so I made another one! I couldn't decide which one to post so I'm sharing BOTH cards with you today. The background for this was super easy - it was some scrap card from playing with my gelli plate.   Now it's fair to say that I really have no idea what I'm doing when I use my gelli plate, so everything is accidental.  I like it that way though, it's fun to just enjoy the process and to not over-think it. Then it was as simple as adding some stenciling, embossing and stamping.  The penguins were stamped onto some scrap card left over from playing with distress oxides, and cut out. The penguins were defined a little with
