March Inspiration

Hello Rubber Dance fans.  Gail here today to start the new month here at the Rubber Dance blog.  March has rolled in.  This is our first inspiration post with the new team and we also have a guest designer joining us this month.   But first I would like to say a sad farewell to Sue who is leaving the team.  Sue has created many beautiful projects for Rubber Dance stamps and she will be missed, but I am sure we will still see her fabulous creations shared around the blogisphere.   Thanks for all your inspiration Sue and for being a fabulous team member.  Hugz


Our monthly challenges are now based in our FB fan group.  The colours for the March challenge are pink, light green and brown and/or you can go for the Anything Goes theme.  Link up your makes using the colours and/or theme using Rubber Dance stamps and you might be the lucky grab bag winner.


We are very pleased to welcome our guest designer for March..... Chantal.  


To start off our inspiration post Chantal made this sweet tag using stamps from Collage Elements.


Chantal will be back later in the month with more lovely projects. 


And here's some inspiration from the new team.


Cornelia made this beautiful CAS card using stamps from Mama Owl and Bonny Bunny.



Dot used Doodle Flowers, Grungy Borders, Grungy Stuff and Textured Flowers to make this gorgeous card.



Evelyn made this fun spring creation using stamps from Textured Spring.



Gerry made a beautiful card and mini album page using Grungy Borders and Grungy Stuff


She has also made a video!  You can view it HERE


Henriette  made this bright and beautiful tag using stamps from Crazy Flowers 1 and Textured Feathers.




Majo made this lovely mini-book cover using stamps from Textured Flowers.



Saadia made these wonderful journal pages using stamps from Dreamcatcher, Art Defined, and Think Again.



Wow.  What a beautiful start to the month.  I hope you feel inspired to get out your stamps and create something today.   Join the fun and link up your makes using Rubber Dance stamps in the Rubber Dance Stamping Lounge and also in the Forever Challenge here on the blog.  Looking forward to seeing your makes.  Hugz

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 ...
