Hello everyone, here is my take on the 21st Full Deck Challenge by ShanooukiArt. The theme was “puzzle”.
I used 3 different pink toned papers and a Elizabeth Craft Designs die cut die with puzzle elements to die cut puzzle parts. I then arranged them onto a piece of old book page (peeking thru on the background). After that I used my constant, the date stamp. I messed the month, so I had to do a quick fix by adding more puzzle pieces on top and stamping again.
I then added some Rubber Dance stamped fodder as a focal point, accompnied with a stamped sentiment. Which I also messed up. I then fixed it by cutting a part off and replacing it with a stamped letter. For additional detail I´ve added some Gloss Spray droplets. And here is the video:

See you next week with another FDC take. Happy crafting! xx, Sanna
Hello everyone! Today I am sharing a 8 x 6 inch card. I created this one for a work colleagues 50th birthday. She looooves all things pink, therefore the color choices.
I used all kinds of things from my own older stash for this card. I have a thing for polka dotted papers and have been “collecting” them for years. This paper was just perfect for the card. I used a pink cardstock as a base, folded it into size (8×6 inches). Next I cut the polka dot paper into size (slightly smaller than the base).
I then die cut with a Elizabeth Craft Designs circle die onto the polka dot paper, adhered it onto the base and started decorating. The flowers are from my older flower stash and added into a cluster. The numbers are Thickers in white.
The vellum butterfly is Jenni Bowlin Studio (very old stash) and the half pearls are by Kaisercraft. All older product from my stash. The stamped sentiment is by Klartext stamps. The recipient loved her card, so mission accoplished :).
Thanks for stopping my and taking a look! I will be sharing more new projects the next weeks, so make sure to come and take a look! Happy scrapping! xx, Sanna
Hello, it´s my turn again over at the Rubber Dance blog today and I am up sharing another take on residue gelli prints turned into card focal points. Like on my last post, I created another set of die cut focal points out of residue gelli printing papers. This time using different color combinations and stenciling the card backgrounds, instead of stamping.
I first die cut the residue gelli printing paper with die cut dies into different forms and sizes (banners, circles and squares). I then added some stamping with black stamp ink and some heat embossed details with red embossing ink and the Pencil Marks 8 stamp set.
After that I took the Ornament 1 stencil and added brown Distress Oxide Ink thru it onto the die cut pieces. Then I took the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and added some stamping with blue StazOn ink here and there onto the background.
Next I took out some premade Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil fodder and adhered them onto the die cut pieces. On top of those I added some yarn and a fodder butterfly, created with a gel plate and Butterflies and Moths stamp set.
I also wanted to add a stamped word onto the focal point elements and took out the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp set. I just used one word from each sentiment, instead of the whole quote.
Instead of adding a stamped background, I chose to stencil Distress Oxide Inks thru the Ornament 1, Dotted 1 and Organic 4 stencils onto the card bases and then adhered the die cut pieces with fodder onto the cards.
I also wanted to add a stamped sentiment to every card, so I used an older German birthday sentiment stamp set from my own stash for stamping them.
After finishing the cards, I added some Gloss Spray droplets to the butterflies wings here and there for additional color and interest.
Here is a video on how I created the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil fodder that I used on some of the focal point elements:
And here is a short video on the focal point elements and how I put the cards together:
I hope I could inspire you to play with your Rubber Dance stamps and stencils and create colorful cards.
Hello, I don´t know what it is with January, but I always get the urge to play and craft alot in January. Thus, today I am sharing something I created yesterday evening :). A set of sparkly birthday cards:
I created these using my Elizabeth Craft Designs stash – silk microfine glitter, stamps and die cut dies. Only the rhinestones are from another manufacturer (my very old stash).
I started with a piece of lace and golden and pink glitter, but since I hadn´t done this for a while, I forgot that a stronger contrast in color makes the pattern more visible, and ended up with a shiny, sparkly golden background with hardly any noticeable pattern. Thus, the second one in blue and white :).
As you can see here. Hardly any pattern to be seen. Oh well, I still kept the paper, because of this beautiful sparkle. There is very little going on else on the cards, just a die cut flower and a stamped sentiment.
I had originally planned on using the postcard paper as is, but ended up die cutting a circle in the center and going on from there. So I had leftover pieces which I then used for these two “residue” cards. I used up all the glitter bits and the patterned paper pieces left from die cutting the flowers for the first two cards.
I created a cluster around the leftover glitter circles from die cut leaves and flowers and adhered everything on lightly patterned papers. I then embellished with rhinestones again and stamped a sentiment.
I made a little start-to-finish video, too, while I was at it – hope you like it:
Thanks for stopping by!! It was fun to go back to this technique. I haven´t done it in a while and still have plenty of lovely glitter here, so I should probably do this more often :). Have a great Sunday and happy crafting! xxx, Sanna
Supplies (also added alternatives to my older die cut dies):
Hello, here is another “lost forever” post from my old blog that I re-created for the parts, that still exist. It makes me so sad that so much content with tutorials and post is forever gone. Thus, I will re-upload things I still have access to for your inspiration.
Here is a video of a love themed present set I created for Elizabeth Craft Designs a few years back. For inspiration, here is the video to watch:
I hope the video gives you some insight to the project and maybe also inspires you to create a love-themed project yourself!
