Up, Up and Away

Hello Rubber Dance friends.  Gail here with a card I made the other day using Rubber Dance In The Air and Whimsical Summer stamps and a lot of colour. I started with a gold base card and found a black panel that had this circle aperture already cut.  I cut the edge with a postage stamp die and added a similarly cut hot pink layer.  I stamped, coloured and fussy cut the balloon and sun-flower cloud from the In The Air set.  The hill is from the Whimsical Summer set.  I stamped and coloured it and fussy cut so I could have the flowers spilling out onto the black frame.  I arranged the balloon and flower cloud so they also overlapped the frame and embossed a Norwegian Happy Birthday sentiment to finish. Thanks for dropping by.  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 .  See you there!!! ...

3D Hot Air Balloons by Melina

Image
Hello crafty friends! It´s Melina here today sharing these hot air ballons. I´ll take you through the process of making them step by step below. I stamp the balloon from the In the Air stamp set 8 times to make one balloon. I decided to make three balloons, but fortunately the balloon is really easy to cut out. When the 8 balloons are cut out, fold them in half. No, the balloon is not perfectly symetric - the design is hand drawn after all ;) Glue the pieces together back to back until you get a 3D balloon like this. Go over the edges with a matching ink, and you´ll never notice  it´s not perfect. Or, use a scissors and trim the edges so they get perfectly even. Stamp the basket - 2 times for each balloon. Cut the bottom and top straight and glue the 2 pieces together forming a little tube. To be able to hang the balloon, pass a double sewing thread through the middle space of the balloon and use a bead as a stop...

Journal Notes by Melina

Image
Hi! It´s Melina here today, and I´ve been playing with the awesome new stamp set Journal Notes along with the In The Air and Things With Wings stamp sets. Recently I was very lucky to find notebooks from IKEA on sale.  I bought 5 of them (blank pages) with the idea of starting to make my  own planner journals. No, I´m not a planner girl,  but I can become one right!? :) Here´s the first spread I made. On this spread I stamped the "lined box" directly into my book to create a square for each day of the week. I then decorated the page using the  balloon from the In The Air stamp set. Here´s my second spread. On this spread I stared to apply Archival Inks. I then used the small stamps from the Journal Notes stamp set to create patterns and interest to the background. I used the same colour  on the stamps that was already in the background. Then I stamped images from the Things With Wings stamp se...
