A book of dreams - and how to alter Glasssine bags with Rubber Dance stamps

Hello and welcome, Anita from the Design Team here today.

I want to show you my ongoing project that is huge! I make a book from scratch, a so-called digi junk journal. And inside the book I want a few pages of glassine bags that I can put tags etc. up in and behind. So I came up with the brilliant (?) idea to make my own glassine bags (Just because it is not possible to get these in Norway), and alter them with Rubber Dance stamps. And here they are, my homemade glassine bags:


Here is a picture of one of the bags inside my book:




You can easily make your own glassine bags. Only use baking paper and glue, pattern scissors and a round puncher. I also used some Archival ink and a few stencils on the background just to achieve some interest.

Stamped I've used is:


Think Again



Fly-fly flowers

I hope I gave you some inspiration today. Thank you for visiting.

Hugs, Anita

Marvellous idea! I'm not sure if we have glassine bags in the UK, but baking parchment we do have... The finished bags look gorgeous Anita!

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...

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

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: ...
