Interview with DT Member Susanne







Name: Susanne Rose
Location: Bayern, Germany
Blog: Susanne Rose Designs






How long have you been stamping and what made you start?
I've been stamping for 2-3 years now. I started because I wanted to create stamped polymer clay jewellry. This brought me to cardmaking and scrapbooking. After I became a guest designer for Rubber Dance my passion for stamps started growing fast.

How do you improve your skills and/or learn new techniques? 
 I learned lots of techniques on YouTube and by experimenting by myself.

How would you describe your style?
I'd say my style is totally mixed media and very colourful.

What do you make the most often? 
I LOVE to make tags and cards. I work in my art journal to find ideas for canvases. I also love creating mini albums to put in family photos. As I don't share private things on the internet I rarely show these.

Which materials/products do you frequently use?
Stamps, acrylic paints, ink, markers, my Gelli Plates, dies and stencils.

How often do you make something? 
I create nearly every day. Instead of watching TV I'm sitting at my craft table and play.

 Where do you buy the supplies you need?
I am from Germany and my favourite online shops are:
Rubber Dance (as the international shipping is free on orders over €35)
Stempelmühle
Bastel-Welt
Irishteddy
AFS-Trendshop
 
Are there any particular stampers you would like to meet? 
There are so many awesome artists, so this is too hard to decide.
But I'd really like to meet my Teamies as we share the same passion!

I've been a member on the Rubber Dance Design team since August 2014. First I started as a guest designer and became a full member in Feb. 2015. What I like the most about being part of the team is that it is a very friendly and uncomplicated team. I'm feeling like home at Rubber Dance because all my stamping skills grew in this group.


Wish you all a wonderful and creative day!

 Hugs, Susanne!
Here are some of the things I have made with stamps from Rubber Dance:

So nice to read about you, Susanne. It's hard to believe that you were quite new to stamping when we first met online two years ago, as your artwork already looked like that of a pro back then! I'm really happy and grateful that you are still on my DT and that you also continue designing new stamps for Rubber Dance ♥

Art Journal Page with Distress Ink Background and Crazy Flowers

Image
Hi everyone! It's Susanne writing today. I used Distress Inks together with some of our Crazy Flowers to create the page in this art journal. It's a watercolor journal from Kunst & Papier, it's one of my favourites to use with Ink and watercolors. I didn't use any gesso to prime my page. The flowers are embossed with white powder on watercolor paper. I coloured them in in complementary colours, by dipping them into the Distress Inks, to let them pop from the background. Scroll down for the video tutorial. Enjoy watching the video: Thanks for stopping by today! xx Susanne Rubber Dance Stamps:

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...

CASology Week #202: Masculine (card by Bibi)

Image
Hello everyone! Bibi here today to show you a card I've made for the challenge at CASology, where the theme this week is to make a masculine card. "Heeeelp!", was my first reaction when I saw what their theme was, as I think it's really difficult to make cards for men! In addition, it must of course be CAS (= Clean And Simple), so I really had to step outside of my comfort zone....., but that's the point of a good challenge, isn't it? :-) Anyway, it was a post by  DT Kristiina  (on our Scandinavian blog ) that came to my rescue! If you haven't seen her post , you really should! The text is in Swedish, but there are lots of awesome project photos that speak for themselves. Kristiina had used stamped letters as the only "images" on her cards and I was very impressed by what she made, so I took out my Alphabet Uno stamps  (same as Kristiina had used), and what do you know - they spoke to me right away! Thank you, Kristiina! :-D And here...
