Simplicity Sunday - A Card by Dot

Hi everyone,
I've been wanting to play with the 3rd Row, Textured Houses stamps for some time. One of the first things that I noticed is how some of the houses are separated, and some are together. This means that you can use them in more ways. And for those of us that scrunch up our faces whenever we have to cut things out (it can't be just me) ... well, it doesn't get any easier than cutting triangles and rectangles.





 With a little masking I was able to bunch up some of the houses. By leaving everything in black & white, and adding a little yellow, I've even managed to fit this in with the colour part of our challenge this month.




I hope you have enjoyed my simple card of houses and that you remember to pop on over to the challenge, see the wonderful inspiration and maybe join in.


I wish you all a super Sunday.
Dot x

Beautiful!! The yellow really makes the houses pop, and I just LOVE how you've used that spiral from Round in Circles for a rising sun!! I also love your use of the checkered stamp from Merry Magpie, so clever!! Very pretty card. Thank you so much for sharing! ♥ ♥ ♥

Easel Card With Textured Flowers

Image
Hello.  Welcome.  Gail from the design team here today with a project using the new Textured Flowers stamps.  I loved these the moment I saw them.  Big beautiful blooms.  And many small er stamps for adding leaves and texture.   I decided to make a Twisted Easel Card.  There are many tutorials available but I used this one by Lois.  So here's my card using Textured Flowers and of course, a giraffe .......... I was inspired by the Rubber Dance challenge colours which for June are: I stamped the large simple daisy, masked and stamped two more.  I added the giraffe from African Animals .  I think I'll call her Daisy. I thought it looked a bit empty so I stamped more daisies...... and coloured with distress and d y e inks.  I stamped and embossed three of the doodled flowers and the giraffe, fussy cut and added them to my panel.  I used brads and a Cheery Lynn die cut for the flower centers.  I also doodled a little faux stitching

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:
