Time To ... Say Goodbye .....


Hello everyone. It's Bibi here today (the owner of Rubber Dance), and it's a sad day for me because some of the people on my Design Team are leaving. Well, there have been many sad days before today because we have known for some time...   It's nothing personal - I just have to keep a smaller team from now on. The rest of us will continue to blog at least twice a week, like before (here and on our Scandinavian blog). 

 This post is a tribute to the five awesome women who are leaving the Rubber Dance Design Team - Kristiina who has been here for past year (mostly posting on our Scandinavian blog), Majo and Irit who have been on the team since the very beginning in August 2014, and Katy and Gabriele, who were also on the team from the beginning - although on and off for the last few months, but always supportive and helpful behind the scenes.

 These five talented women will not stop creating and sharing their art! You will find a link to their own blogs below. Chances are we will see them again as Guest Designers here as well. 

 Here are just some of the makes these five fab women have created during their time on the Rubber Dance DT (except July - you can see those on the monthly recap tomorrow). It was VERY hard to pick just a few makes by each, as these ladies have made so many!!! I will miss them all very much and I will always be very grateful for all the work they have done for me and Rubber Dance.

A new 6 months' term for the remaining members on the Design Team begins on August 1st. I hope you will come back and get to know these women better - some of them have only posted on our Scandinavian blog till now, and some you will know from before. 



With love and immense gratitude,
Bibi

They all have contributed to make the Rubber Dance blog (and brand) what it is today, and this is something to celebrate! I wish them the best of luck in their future endeavours, and I guess we will still see them in blogland.

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...

I want to fly!

I used one of the Aztec images from the set * Aztec Art Dolls *.

Have a lot of fun crafting! Love Majo ♥

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 ...
