Inspiration Kraft, White & Red



Craftyfield here with an inspiration piece for this month's challenge, which has a theme of Romance and the colour scheme shown here:

I can't resist photo realistic stamps so I couldn't wait to ink the Nostalgic Couples set from Rubber Dance. And one image wasn't enough... so how do you fit more than one image on a card?

I found the solution in the form of an Accordion die (Crafters Companion). I chose to have 3 panels but you can add as many as you want!


From left to right the 3 chosen images are organised in a chronological order (well sort of), young (courting), older and married, older still (retired?) but together! On the "cover" I used the quote stamp from the same set. 





Each of the image has been stamped with Versamark and I applied chalks (pastel) on top in red and black. Once finished I cleaned up some of the stray powder using blue tack..

I added a heart border (Docrafts die) and some white embossed words/motif from the same Nostalgic Couples plate,  just enough to make it look finished but not too fussy since this is for a man.

I hope you will like this project and find inspiration for the challenge.

Have a Krafting time!

Thank you, Craftyfield! I love your take on our challenge this month! What a super cool accordion card! Love how it opens and "flips" out like that. Such a good idea to stamp the couple from young to old - I never even thought of those stamps being of the same couple, but they very well could be! They are from now on :)
Thank you so much!

1st Year Anniversary Giveaway and Blog Hop

Hello everyone and welcome to this fun blog hop with many Rubber Dance stamps to win! Tjooohoo!  It's Bibi here (owner of Rubber Dance), and today it's been exactly one year since I blogged about something I  had made  using Rubber Dance stamps!  I cannot believe it's been a whole year already, but on the other hand - there has been a lot happening since then. Things really started moving after I had hired my very first Design Team in August last year, and with their help this blog rapidly changed from being a rather quiet place to quite a busy bee hive! My Design Team members have made so many beautiful things with my stamps, helped spread the word out there in blogland (and beyond), and they've been such a great support in more ways than I can count. I'd be way up creek without a paddle without them! ♥ Love you guys! ♥ From zero readers to nearly 40.000 hits in just one year - that's pretty awesome! And if you're curious where all tho...
