Full Deck Challenge 52/2025 – animal print

Hello! So this is it! I´ve finished the 2025 ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge with this deck card. The theme was “animal print”.

I interpreted the theme very loosely. See, the paper ribbon I used as a background paper, has animals on it and it is printed. Sooo…very loosely, it´s “animal print”. Ducks on paper, how cute is that?!

On top some Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays and my constant, a date stamp. My focal point is a big birdie, adding to the bird theme there. The stamped words are from a Rubber Dance stamp set. For finishing touches I added some hand drawn white circles. Drawn on the same blue paper I used on my previous deck card for the hearts. So also ticked off the carry over theme there, too.

Here is the final process video:

And this has been a fun year with the deck cards. I really enjoyed making them. The recording of the videos also did not get too stressfull, because it´s only one a week. There will, I think, be a new deck card challenge for 2026. Thinking if I should join again. Are you going to join?

Happy crafting and a fabulous end of 2025 and all the best for 2026!!!

Full Deck Challenge 51/2025 – queen of hearts

Hello! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt 2025 Full Deck Challenge number 51: queen of hearts.

On the background I again used the collage papers gifted to me by Yuna. Also my carry over item from the previous deck card. I combined them with old book papers I had stamped with Rubber Dance butterflies.

Next I added my constant – a date stamp. My queeon of hearts is a vintage image in a nice red dress. I added some hand drawn and fussy cut blue hearts around her -> queen of hearts.

Here is the process video:

Come back for the last deck card in a few days! Happy crafting!

Full Deck Challenge 50/2025 – wonky house

Hello! This is my take on the 2025 ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 50: wonky house.

On the background I´ve again used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna. On top some Neocolor II crayon and Dina Wakley Gloss Spray in white. The bottom paper is stenciled with a Rubber Dance stencil and modeling paste.

I hand drew the wonky house and fussy cut it. The title was a coincidence, because one of Yuna´s collage papers had it written on it. So I fussy cut that and used it as my title.

Here is the process video:

This was the hardest one for more of the deck challenges. I just could not figure out what to do with “wonky house”. So this is all I came up with.
Come back for the next one in a few days!

Hello! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 45/2025: lace.

I used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna as my carry-over item. To those I added some old book paper bits, stamped with Rubber Dance butterfly stamps. On top of that I added some Dina Wakley heavy body paint with a palette knife. On top of that my constant, a date stamp.

Next I added Midnight Dina Wakley Gloss Spray droplets and the DIY lace. I made it with lace cream and a silicone mold. On top of it I adhered a collage butterfly (Rubber Dance). For finishing touches I added word stickers by Tim Holtz.

Stenciled Xmas cards – Rubber Dance

Hello, here is a set of stenciled Xmas cards I created using Rubber Dance products: Dotted stencil, Kartengrüße stamp set and Xmas Trees 2 stencil.

I used Distress Oxide in two tones for the background with the Dotted stencil. I started by inking the whole background with the first ink layer. After that I placed the Dotted stencil on top and added the second blue tone thru the stencil.

Next I took some Gansai Tambi Starry Colors golden pigment and added droplets to the background. After that I grabbed some Graphic45 Christmas papers and drew along the stencil tree patterns of the Xmas Trees 2 stencil with a black pen. Then I fussy cut the images and adhered them to the card.

For the sentiment I used the Kartengrüße stamp set with black ink. Next I stamped some stars to the treetops (Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set) and colored the stars with golden pigment. For finishing touches I also added some golden dots to the blue toned, fussy cut, trees. The ink tones I used for the backgrounds are: peacock feathers, speckled egg and salvaged patina.

Here is the video step-by-step:

I hope you like the card idea and create some fun stenciled Xmas cards too! Happy crafting,

Xmas cards with collage paper

How about putting some of the collage paper piles we all have into good use and create some Christmas cards with them? Here are some I did:

I have a glitter paste stenciled background paper on these cards (made with Tonic Studios paste and Stars 1 Rubber Dance stencil). On top I´ve added some on collage paper stamped (Textured Xmas Trees 2) trees. Finished with Kartengrüße stamp set sentiments. The green tree was stamped on plain paper and then colored with Edding glitter brush pens.

For the second set I´ve used the Marks 3 and Marks 2 stencil with a Gelli Arts gel plate for the backgrounds. On top I´ve used the Xmas Trees 1 stencil with Tonic Studios glitter paste and the sentiment is again done with Kartengrüße stamp set. I really like these bright colors! Who says Xmas cards can´t be bold in color?!

And for the final set I´ve used the Organic 3 and Cross It stencil with a gel plate on the background. The trees (Textured Xmas Trees 2) got stamped onto another gelli printed collage paper and fussy cut. I´ve added some glitter pen details to the slimline card´s trees and the smaller card has some Tonic Studio Nuvo Drops as decor. Sentiments on both were stamped with the Kartengrüße stamp set.

Have fun creating some Xmas cards with collage papers, stamps and stencils!!!

Full Deck Challenge 44/2025 – window

Hi there! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 44: window.

I used an exacto knife to cut a window onto the deck card. I then placed a vintage photo behind the window. After that I added some of the collage papers that I also used on my previous deck card (carry-over-item) and added some additional ones. All gifted to me by Yuna from Australia.

After adhering the collage papers on place, I added my constant, a date stamp here and there. After that some white modeling paste thru a Rubber Dance stencil. After that some Dina Wakley Gloss Spray as detail.

For finishing touches I added Tim Holtz word stickers and two red buttons for the window.

Here is the start-to-finish-video:

See you again next week with another FDC take!
