Altered Puzzle Piece and Tutorial

Hello everyone, it's Majo from the Design Team here at Rubber Dance Stamps, and today I want to show you an altered puzzle piece which I turned into a wall hanger. It always make a neat little present or give away.



I started with Gesso on my puzzle piece and colored it after drying with Gelatos:



I stamped my images and the sentiment on tissue paper and adhered it to the puzzle piece with napkin varnish.



I colored a piece of watercolor cardstock with the same Gelatos, added some shine with Perfect Pearls "Biscotti" and punched hydrangeas in different sizes.




I added some black dots with my Paper Pen:


I added the hemp cord with some brads and ready is my little gift :)



You can find the stamps here at the shop:

I used the following stamps:

Antique Botanicals   
Affirmations

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...

Tutorial Tuesday - A Mini Album by Sue

Image
Good morning and happy Tuesday, it's Sue here with my tutorial for my very easy to make mini album. Here's the front and here's the back.   I started by cutting the pages for my album. I've used the Eileen Hull passport die as I think this is a fab size. Plenty of room for your images but not so big as to be intimidating. I've used chipboard for my covers, and a mixture of black, white, and watercolour card for the pages.   I've used canvas for the binding as this is really tough and flexible. I've inked it up with Distress Inks just using the primary colours, that way where they meet they will make new colours and not mud. I know you probably know this but it took me years of mud before I really got it!   Just look at the size of this Music  stamp, it's a real whopper! I inked it up and laid my binding on top of it.   These were two practice pieces from a previous project. The stencilling was too intense for my card, but ...
