Rubber Dance Stamp Challenge - January


Hello, gorgeous! First of all we want to wish all of you a Happy New Year! May all your crafty wishes come true ;-)

 Are you ready for another fun challenge? I guess you are!

Our colour scheme and theme this month goes with the season. We picked a winter theme this time and we do love its glorious colours! We hope you do, too, when you create an entry (or three) for our January Challenge:



*         Challenge Rules:          *

Stamping must be obvious on your project.  You do not have to use Rubber Dance stamps to participate.

ALL THREE challenge colours must be used, but you may add others. 

Max 3 entries per person.

You may combine with other challenges, as many as you like.

We reserve the right to remove entries that don't meet these simple requirements.

***************************

Winner will win five fab stamps from Rubber Dance!
PLUS five more stamps if the winner has used Rubber Dance stamps on her entry! 
(Please mention the stamps you've used from Rubber Dance in your Post) 
The owner of Rubber Dance will pick some nice ones out for you.


The winner:
is our DT Pick of the Month, selected among ALL entries.
You do not have to use our stamps to enter!

We also offer a Guest Designer spot to our DT Pick of the Month,
who will (if she wants) get her challenge card featured amongst the inspirational makes here on the Rubber Dance blog when we announce an upcoming challenge.

Honourable Mentions:
goes to some fave entries where our stamps have been used.
Fame, glory and braggin' badges awaits! ;-)

I've made my card and written my post but the Linky appears to be inactive - is it broken?

I tested it right now and it seems to be working fine again.
Please try again :)

It's still not working - I think you must be viewing it as an administrator rather than as an ordinary reader of the blog :( - try looking at it on somebody else's device so you can see what we're seeing.

Thanks Bibi, I don't know what the problem is but I've moved from my PC to my ipad now and I'm still just getting a message saying that the Link in widget is not allowed, so it can't be a browser problem. However I can see that you have visited my blog and commented on my entry so it MUST be working!

I have contacted InLinkz the tech support and asked them what the problem might be (it's the weekend so no answer yet). I tried on an older version of Internet Explorer, and I got the error message there, but it does work on my iPad (Safari browser), and it also works on Chrome and Firefox. I was not logged in as admin when I checked. Anyway, we do have 4 other entries so it seems to work for most people/browsers.

Update: Tech support looked into it and it should be working everywhere now.

I am very happy to find this challenge while "window shopping". The photo is so inspirational and I already know what I am about to make within the given color scheme -- now I just have to find time to make it (working gets your bills paid but it sure is a bump on the road when it comes to having time for crafting...)

Hugs from Finland,
Eemeli

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 ...
