By Judi Kauffman for Rubber Dance Thanks for inviting me back as a guest designer! I’ve got a confession to make. I sometimes like stamping envelopes more than making the cards that go inside of them. Envelopes are inexpensive and meant to be thrown away once they’re opened so there is zero stress if something isn’t quite perfect. I spread out a dozen or so at a time and whip up a batch that uses the same stamps and ink(s), each envelope one-of-a-kind within the series. Care to give it a try? Simply fill a table with your favorite stamps (a LOT of them in varying sizes), a few acrylic blocks (I use low-tack double sided tape on mine, and nothing on the back of the unmounted rubber), and an inkpad or two to get things rolling. Stop at a dozen or set aside the first batch and keep stamping! The more you make the more ideas will pop up. At about 3 cents each, why not! Go for a quirky, whimsical look or keep things serene and elegant. No rules, no planning needed other than...

Hello and welcome, Anita from the Design Team here today to teach you a lesson..... No, I'm just kidding, ha ha. What I really want to do is show you my art journal page. (I'm certainly in an art journal flow these days :-) ) And I want to give you some ideas and tips along the way. My first tips for you: use another stamp and stamp inside a bigger stamp, as I did inside the petals in the smallest flowers: The flowers are colored with Distress Ink. The word dream is embossed with blue embossing powder. My second tip for you my friends: Make your own washi tape by stamping image on Dina Wakley's Media Tape, as I did on the tape you see at the picture below: Here I used the star stamps from the Textured Flowers set and Distress Ink in various colors After I colored all the flowers I embossed them with clear embossing powder. The beautiful lady got some red cheeks. And I used blue and black Distress Ink around the edges. The bl...

Hello! It's Susanne writing today and I have a little reminder for to to enter our February Theme Challenge! Our theme this month is: Lots of Layers does not only mean many papers on your project. It also could be many layers of colour or embellishments. Just what you like the most .  I created a mixed media tag with different layers of colours and papers . I picked the Mona Lisa stamp as my focal point. I stamped her on tissue paper and adhered it with Gel Medium on top of my tag. Of course the title " ART " is perfect for her. I embossed it with WOW! Opaque Bright White powder. One of my favourite background stamps is the Vintage Postcard stamp . It adds a wonderful texture to nearly every piece.
