Lot's of Love Valentines Cards by Gerry van der Velden with video turorial


Hi lovely Rubber Dance friends, it's Gerry on the blog today with some love inspired cards, we have Valentines day coming up, right. And if you are not a Valentine's fan, anytime is a good time to send some love, after all love is all you need:-)


In the tutorial I show you the different techniques used on all three cards so make sure to watch the video to see all techniques at work.

If you haven't seen the Easy Mixed Media Cards With nuvo Shimmer powder video yet, I have some more Arty Hearty inspired cards for you there, so make sure to take a peek.


For the first card I stamped the Grungy Butterflies with Distress Oxide Wild Honey, I made splats with the same ink and with Abandoned coral. I doodle a bit along the side of the card.


I stamped and cut the Alphabet Uno letters and added the word love  on a black background to the card.


I stamped freehand with the Old Bookpage and Distress Oxide Abandoned Coral and Wild Honey. 

I stamped the Arty Hearty heart with black Versafine ink and embossing ink over it and added a layer of clear embossing powder.


I coloured the heart with the same ink and a waterbrush. I coloured the edge of the card with the Abandoned coral and an ink blending tool. 

I stamped some hearts and the sentiment and fussy cut them and matted them on black card and added them to the card.


For the last card I stamped the Alphabet Uno letters and heat embossed them in three takes with different colours, so one colour at a time. I stamped partly over the previous letters. 

I added some splats with Blendable Dye Ink Tea rose and coloured the edge with the same ink.


I coloured the letters with alcohol markers leaving the part where they overlap open. And I finished with a stamped sentiment from the Journal Words and some Nuvo jewel drops.

I hope you liked this post and make sure to keep on crafting!
Gerry van der Velden

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: ...

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...

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...
