A grey hare birthday card

Hello and welcome, Anita from the Design Team here today to show you a birthday card. Birthday card!!?? Yep, I have made a birthday card with this ADORABLE new hare stamp.

Those who know me know that I'm not a typical card maker so I had to have a little humorous touch on it, so here is my version of the hare stamp, hope you like it!


It was very easy to make it. I used only a little white cardboard some black cardboard, embossing folder and Distress Oxide, as well as a paper doll from Tim Holtz and of course stamps from Rubber Dance.

I started by embossing white cardstock and colored it with Distress Oxide. I tore the edges to soften it slightly to coorporate with the white cardboard back. I glued it down on the white cardstock with double sided tape.

On the back of the card I glued white cardstock on the black one and then stamped "If age is just a number...how come you look so OLD" with black Archival Ink and "Happy Birthday" with grey Arhival ink.


I chopped the head of this little man


And stamped the hare head on tissue paper, tore it out and glued it to the top of the body


I also stamped the carot on tissue paper and glue it down in this hare mans hand.




Thank you for visiting. Please join the Rubber Dance Challenge this month, there is still a few days left.

Hugs, Anita

LOL, this is such a funny birthday card! Love it!!!
Thanks for sharing, Anita! I know you're usually not a card maker, but you certainly have knack for it! ♥ ♥ ♥
Let's hear it from our blog readers - do you want to see more cards from Anita, or should she stick to her colourful art journal pages?

A Day to Celebrate + GIVEAWAY!

Image
Hello, dear stamping friends all over the world!  Bibi here today with  THREE things to celebrate! Today is the Norwegian National Day , which is celebrated with childrens' parades and marching bands all over  the country. The proper way to greet a Norwegian on May 17th is to say, "Gratulerer med dagen!" (Literally:  Congratulations with the day ). This photo is from a parade in Oslo: May 17th is also my mum's birthday and today she's turning 75! After watching the parades, we're celebrating mum's big day with family and friends at her place. I have always made birthday cards for mum using the colours of our flag (red, white and blue), but this year I did something different and I know she likes these colours, too. Background paper made with spray inks. The flower stamps are from  Antique Botanicals .  The Happy Birthday is a die from Quietfire Design , and I put two die cuts on top of one another - white under blue for contrast ag...

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 Challenge Journey Card by Bibi

If you are looking for DT Majo's post today, please click here. Hello everyone! Bibi here today with two CAS cards I've made for the current  CASology challenge , where the theme this week is JOURNEY: My tip: When using only a sentiment stamp on your card, you can add a bit of interest  by cutting out one of the words, frame it and adhere it with foam tape off to the side. For the third time this summer, Rubber Dance is sponsoring  CASology  -  a challenge blog that is all about  C lean  A nd  S imple (CAS).  Each week, we'll study  clean and simple design  using a cue word as our inspiration.  The design team will share their CAS creations and a little bit about their designs to inspire you to create a clean and simple card of your own!    Weekly challenges begin Tuesday mornings. Interpret the word on the weekly cue card however you'd like!  This is about creativi...

Quick and Easy Christmas Cards

Image
How to make a pile of cards in less than an hour! Hey everyone! If you are in need of a bunch of cards, I'll show you how to make them real quick and easy. Most of my cards took between 5 to 10 minutes to make! Sometimes we might want to spend a whole day making just one elaborated card, but now that December is here for real, some of us are running out of time ... It's better to send a simple card than none at all, right? Most of my cards were made using stamps from the Rubber Dance set called Watercolour Xmas . If you don't have that one, look in your stash and see what you can find that would work for the easy technique I've used. I bet you have some stamps that will work! (Or order them here - you should have them within a week if you live in Europe, unless the postal service is really slow right now). You will need watercolour paper for this technique. It doesn't have to be an expensive brand. If you don't have any watercolour paper,...
