Make a Garden, card tutorial


Hello my dear crafty friends! It's Irit on the Design Team here today. Welcome to my December Rubber Dance tutorial. As always I try to show you my easy, but yet fancy designs.

I couple of months ago I made a card with the same grid technique and promised to make a tutorial. So finally I made it - another card, same tricks and tips. Here we go!

1. Cover the thick cardstock with a few strips of double sided tape and cut to the desired size.



 2. Use punches to make a few  1'' and 2'' squares (you can cut them by hand, I just have those punches and it's easier to make it this way). Peel the tape strips from the top and arrange the squares as shown. Sometime  you need to make strips of cardstock or to add very small squares; do it, but leave a small gaps in between the pieces.



3. Sprinkle green glitter over the squares- it will stay over the gaps as those are the  tape strips there.


4. Now grab you lovely Rubber Dance  Antique Botanicals stamps and make a random stamping with white pigmented ink- to see where it was stamped - and black embossing powder.


5. Color the stamped images with a mix of distress markers. 


6. Ink the card with a mix of distress inks.


7. Add the finished piece over the basic cardstock. Make a kind of a hand drawn frame with black pen.
Add a stamped sentiment using Rubber Dance sentiment set " Just a note" .

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...

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...
