Mixed Media Monthly Challenge meets Rubber Dance!


Hi everyone!

This month we here at Rubber Dance are proud to sponsor the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge! They define 'mixed media' as artwork using more than one medium (easy enough, right?), and any kinds of projects are welcome.

Their challenge for October is to use these happy colours:



Being their sponsor this month, we have sent their team some Rubber Dance stamps for inspiration makes. The stamps they have used are: Funny Fungi, Handsome Hedgehog, Merry Magpie, and Snazzy Squirrel, and you can see their makes over at their challenge blog.

We decided to do the same,  so here's some inspiration from our own teamies. 

Let's start with Melina, who designed those four stamp sets for Rubber Dance:







Anita made this cool canvas:



Sue created these colourful cards:





Bibi's two cards:


Be careful with those funny fungi! LOL


Now it's your turn - join the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge here. The Winner and Honourable Mentions will be given a badge to display on their blog. The Random Winner will win a voucher of €25 (or US$30) to spend in the Rubber Dance web shop.  Everyone has a chance to win! Whoohooo!
And now, some info for our fans on the other side of the big pond:
Donna Bowman, the creator of the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge, is also the owner of Topflight Stamps - our retailer in USA. If you live in the US, Topflight Stamps is the place to go if you're looking for hard-to-find art stamps from around the world, all in one place at a reasonable shipping rate - including quite a few stamps from Rubber Dance on this page. Go check out the website - so many cool stamp companies! 


Need some Funny Fungi or perhaps a Snazzy Squirrel?
You'll find them in our own shop:

See you over at the Mixed Media Monthly Challenge :-)

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!

Image
I used one of the Aztec images from the set * Aztec Art Dolls *. To me it looked like it wanted to take off and fly :) The words come from the sets * Fly with me * and * Affirmations *.  I created my background using Distress Inks with different stencils on a Sizzix die *Postage Frame*.   You can find the stamps here at the shop:   http://www.rubberdance.com And as a special treat, please use "MAJO2016" to receive a 15% discount on your next order! 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 ...
