Wise Giraffe ATC's

Hello.  Gail from the design team here today with some inspiration for the current Rubber Dance colour challenge, Magenta, Yellow and Turquoise.  I decided to use one of my favourite Rubber Dance stamps, Giraffe, and play with some words.  

I've used a Stamplorations stencil and Dreamweavers yellow embossing paste for the background, with Rubber Dance stamps Giraffe, and words from Mail Art and Sarcastic Superpower.


I stamped and embossed the giraffe and words on self adhesive paper and fussy cut.  I added a black mat behind the words.  

I decapitated the giraffe, ouch! so I could add her head at a different angle.  Hmmmmm, she knows!!  You know!!  

Again I added the head at a different angle with words from Sarcastic Superpower.

  
Hope you enjoyed my little trio of giraffe wisdom.   Here's the challenge colour board

I hope you get time to create and join the fun.  Remember, the Rubber Dance challenges are two weekly now, so this challenge closes on the 14th and there will be a new theme challenge starting on the 15th.  

 All the stamps I used today are available in the bright and beautiful Rubber Dance shop.

My giraffe is gong to join the fun at

LoL You made my day, Gail! This is so funny :-)) It reminds me of the old Norwegian joke (or something): "Jai vet hvor postkassa di bor".. This was a very popular sentence when I was young for about 100 years ago.
I love the way you snapped the giraffe to get a different look.
Hugs, Anita ♥

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Image
Rubber Dance has gained a following of stampers that love our Sarcasm Superpowers sentiment stamps. These aren't exactly our best seller stamps (not very surprisingly), but if you love them, you'll LOVE them! And this particular group of followers certainly do - not very surprisingly at all with a group name like theirs .... namely the  Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers! (I know, right? Too darn cute!) These fine ladies have bullied me and some of my designers into a blog hop featuring our Sarcasm Superpower stamps. It didn't take much persuation, nor any bribes to speak of. Just mention  "challenge", and we'll be all over you like underfed fruitflies on a brown banana. And that's what the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers is all about - a challenge blog with new challenges every other week. Fasten your seat belts and enjoy the bumpy ride! Of course there will be a prize.... if you make it to the end. Here's what I've made for our hop: ...

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...

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...
