Tuesday at Rubber Dance Stamps

I created this little birdhouse with stamps from my favorite set "Da Vinci".

I inked the house with Ranger Distress Ink Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy. I stamped the sentiment from the set "Vintage Birds"  and added DREAM and a little birdie from the set "A little birdie" as well as the flowers on the side and the back. I embossed the roof with a Tim Holt z folder. Some hemp twine on the bottom, all set :)

This is the little cutie ♥

*STICKERS* at Use your Stuff Challenge!

Please visit our challenge blog to see what our talented designers have created using stickers :)

I created a tag using Ranger Distress Ink in 3 colours: Pine Needles, Wild Honey and Brushed Corduroy, spritzed&flicked with water and stamped a background with a "Netting" stamp. 

I added a sticker from PSX Design and added embellishments from my stash.

 The sentiment is from an unknown (to me) manufacturer!

Just in time ...


I am so, so, very unhappy with the outcome of my tag, that's the reason for my quote. 

I didn't have any texture paste, so the kind I used didn't really work the way I expected. Well, it's done.I used my Rubber Dance Stamp from the Da Vinci Set for the 42ufhu&§%t578 time and still love it!

Trash to Treasure

Tuesday at Rubber Dance Stamps ......

Since I missed the deadline for the challenge at Unruly Paper Art I post my creation here!

 I created a little shadow box made of a wooden tray I had left over from Prima Marketing. It once contained Wood Veneers.


 

I started with a paint coat and added some paper for the background. I used Tim Holtz Design paper for this. I applied Washi Tape all around the frame.

The stamps I used are the crayfish (Something Fishy), the bird (A little Birdie), the numbers (ATC Background) and the sentiment (Da Vinci) from Rubber Dance Stamps. I added some embellishments and a word strip from Darkroom Doors.

Some close ups .....





Have fun crafting ♥

Happy Spring ♥

I'd like to show you some home decor using the fabulous Flower Stamps *Bold & Beautiful* as well as the tiny heart from the set *Think again*.


I used this tray for my last years Christmas decoration and decided to just turn it around and make it ready for Spring :) We love to light candles even in Summer, so this will be a much used decoration around our house.

I cut the cubes from card stock and stamped the flowers randomly along with the little heart. I used Ranger Distress Inks *Bundles Sage*, *Victorian Velvet*, *Mustard Seed* and *Dried Marigold* along with a black Distress Marker using the spritzer.


I glued the little boxes together.

I had also cut some flowers to add on top, but somehow it didn't feel right, I wanted the beautiful stamped flowers to be the main design. I just added hemp twine with a little button.



Here are some close ups, I will add some chocolate eggs during Easter time.

 

Happy crafting!

You can find all the stamps I have used right here at the Rubber Dance shop!

Easter at SoSS ...

I was thrilled when Chris asked me to be guest designer at the Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers for this challenge. Well, I couldn't come up with any snark for Easter, but I think my tag is a bit funny after all.

Hop on over to join in the challenge, always so much fun there :)
