Hello ... from me to you.

Hi everyone,
I recently got the Alphabet Uno set of stamps
from Rubber Dance and decided to have a play with the letters.

It is so liberating and fun to be able to make your own words!


The giraffe, from African Animals, has long been a favourite stamp
of mine.  This card uses the word HELLO, which is also part of the 
African Animals set.  So it was easy to use the word twice.  
Once in a small font and again as large letters.


The letters have been cut into strips so that they can be used easier.
Simply mask off the letters that you want, ink them up and stamp them out.
A little colour to match the theme this month 
and that part was done.


The background was heaps of fun too.
Simply scrape the paint in layers onto your card with a credit card.
It was fun to keep adding layer after layer.

I made a white painty area in the middle for the letters to go.
The background and the letters match.

The other stamp set that I've used is Textured Flowers.
The large flowers were a great background addition,
while the smaller stamps in this set were used by stamping with paint onto the background.
Again, using the same colours as the background.

The stamp sets used were:

     

Other products used were:
Paint
Water colours
Distress Ink


I hope you enjoyed this quick run through of how this card was made.
There is a friend of mine that I haven't seen for awhile,
so this will be on it's way to her soon.
She'll get a lovely surprise and put a smile on her face.

Just a quick reminder that our challenge over on facebook still has a few days to go.
If you haven't joined in yet then you are in luck! There is still time.
You can follow the colour theme (like I did today),
or you can choose Anything Goes.



Happy Stamping!

Blog Hoppin' Superpowers

Image
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: ...

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...

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 ...
