SEPTEMBER NEWS AND INSPIRATION

Hello Rubber Dance fans.  Gail here today to kick off the new month at the Rubber Dance blog. 

It's September and here in the Northern hemisphere we are still holding on to the summer vibe.  This month's challenge inspiration photo is floral with some very pretty colours!!!


 Our monthly challenges are now based in our FB fan group.  The colours for the September challenge are Pink, Orange and Sap Green 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 winner of a €15 voucher.


August saw the end of our current design team term, and although most of the team will be continuing on with us for the next 6 months, there is one team member leaving and a new one joining us.

Cornelia has decided to step down from the team at this time due to the pressures of life.  I am sure you will join me in wishing her all the best for the future.  We will miss her bright CAS creations but I am sure she will continue to join us in the fb group from time to time.  Thanks for all the inspiration Cornelia and good luck.

 Joining the team is the fabulous Mariken De Steenhuijsen-Piters


Mariken is from the Netherlands and I am sure some of you are already familiar with her lovely stamped mixed media projects.  Welcome to the team Mariken.
You will find her bio on the DT page.


We are also very pleased to welcome our guest designer for September..... Ellie Knol
Check her blog and Ellie will be joining us later in the month with her gorgeous projects using Rubber Dance stamps. 


Now here's some inspiration from the team.  
Let's start with Mariken, since it's her first official project as a member of the team.

Mariken made these beautiful bright cards using stamps from Grungy Stuff, Affirmations and Textured Flowers stamp sets


Dot made this lovely mushroom themed card using stamps from Textured Mushrooms, Doodle Borders #2, Old Book Page and Mix A Sentiment 



Evelyn made this lovely autumnal card using stamps from Funny Fungi, Textured Mushrooms and Twiggy Leaves stamp sets
 


Gerry made this beautiful art journal page using stamps from Crazy Flowers 1 and the Vintage Postcard stamp





Majo made this delightful card using stamps from Round In Circles,  
Mix A Sentiment and Solid Butterflies stamp
 


Saadia made this gorgeous tag using stamps from Butterfly girl 1, Think Again, and Art Defined 



Wow.  Another 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.  Looking forward to seeing your makes.  Hugz

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: ...

Have a lot of fun crafting! Love Majo ♥

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...
