OCTOBER NEWS AND INSPIRATION

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

It's October and here in the Northern hemisphere we are seeing definite signs that summer is over and Autumn is here.  This month's challenge inspiration photo is suitably seasonal and that hedgehog is just too cute!!!  Although you don't have to use either in your makes!  As long as they feature Rubber Dance stamps you are good!!


 Our monthly challenges are now based in our FB fan group.  The colours for the October challenge are Yellow, Dark Brown and Burnt Sienna 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.




We are very pleased to welcome our guest designer for October.....Astrid Galjaard


Astrid is from the Netherlands and lives on an island called Texel.  She says:
I am married to a great man, and we have 1 son, a daughter in law and a beautiful granddaughter.  I have been crafting many many years, first as a Parchment teacher, than making cards, and now I have fallen in love with art journaling and mixed media.
I see and learn a lot on youtube and facebook and I love it.
We don’t have any hobby shops on the island so I order everything on internet.


 To start off our inspiration this month Astrid made this beautiful autum card using Textured Mushrooms stamps

Check her blog and Astrid will be joining us later in the month with more gorgeous projects using Rubber Dance stamps. 


Now here's some inspiration from the team.

Dot made this gorgeous card using stamps from Antique Botanicals, Da Vinci Woman 1 and Something Wonderful 




Evelyn made these gorgeous journal pages using stamps from Da Vinic Old Man and Doodle Borders 1 stamp sets.



Gerry made these gorgeous alcohol lift cards using stamps from I Love Leaves and Mix A Sentiment stamp sets.



Majo made this beautiful card using stamps from Da Vinic Woman 3, Vintage Lace and Mix A Sentiment.
Saadia made these stunning art journal pages using stamps from Mix A Sentiment, Doodle Borders #2 and Textured Mushrooms.
Wow.  Another fabulous 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 and you could win a voucher to the shop!!  Hugz

Art Journal Page with Distress Ink Background and Crazy Flowers

Image
Hi everyone! It's Susanne writing today. I used Distress Inks together with some of our Crazy Flowers to create the page in this art journal. It's a watercolor journal from Kunst & Papier, it's one of my favourites to use with Ink and watercolors. I didn't use any gesso to prime my page. The flowers are embossed with white powder on watercolor paper. I coloured them in in complementary colours, by dipping them into the Distress Inks, to let them pop from the background. Scroll down for the video tutorial. Enjoy watching the video: Thanks for stopping by today! xx Susanne Rubber Dance Stamps:

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...

Rubber Dance meets StarTrish Design!

Image
Hello everyone! It's Bibi here today to show you some awesome stamps that are NOT from Rubber Dance! As a stamp manufacturer myself and the owner of Rubber Dance, it has been years since I went shopping for stamps anywhere else..... However! When I saw that Trish Latimer had launched the first stamps from her own designs, I nearly fell off my chair in excitement!!! Her stamps - which you can see here - are quite big: 12 cm tall (!) and I knew right away that they would be a perfect match with the big flower stamps on Rubber Dance's set  Textured Flowers . I contacted Trish and we decided to do a collaboration..... .... and I'm proud to show you one of the gorgeous artworks that Trish has made,  and y ou can also see her  blog post about it here . Below are the very first cards that I made with two of Trish's adorable WordGirl stamps and some Textured Flower stamps from my own company (designed for Rubber Dance by DT member Susanne Rose). I received...
