Hello and happy Sunday! Here is my take on the Full Deck Challenge with deck card 4. Theme for this one is “light green”.
I used a sheet of the Artist Almanac 2023 on the background with Rubber Dance stamp set “Pencil Marks 8”. I also again added a collage paper piece gifted to me by Yuna. My constant here again is a date stamp.
In addition to those products, I added a label sticker, some 49andMarket fabrick tape bits, a light green washi tape and a fussy cut image of a man. I finished the piece off with the word “live”. Also something I have added to each deck card so far (stamped with Rubber Dance stamps).

Thanks for stopping by! See you again in a week or so with another FDC challenge take! xxx, Sanna
Hello everyone! It´s again time for another Rubber Dance project share. I am up with a life quote themed art journal page share today. For this page I used the Wheels stencil, Loose Florals 2024, Mix It Up 6 and Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp sets.
I started by pressing misted Distress Ink (picked raspberry) with an acrylic block directly onto the background. Next I took the Wheels stencil and applied candied apple Distress Ink thru the stencil onto the background. I then grabbed the Mix It Up 6 stamp set script stamp and added stamping to the background with a light gray stamp ink.
After that I stamped the flowers with the Loose Florals 2024 stamp set onto white paper and colored them with alcohol markers and glitter pens. Then I stamped the leaves, using the same stamp set, onto blue paper and added some glitter pen details onto them. I also added some Gloss Spray splatters in turquoise onto the background for interest. I then adhered the leaves, the black and white stamped couple and the flowers onto the page.
After that I wanted to add a quote to the page and found a suitable one. I partly stamped the words – using the stamps from the Mix It Up 6 set – and wrote the rest by hand. I finished the quote with a stamped sentiment from Mixed Sentiments 1 set at the very bottom. I still felt like the page needed some more details, so I stamped the black splodges using the Grungy Butterflies stamp set and also added some stamped grey numbers here and there. This stamp is part of the Mix It Up 6 stamp set.
Do you use quotes in your art journals? I love adding them to my pages. I hope I could inspire you to play in your journal today! Have fun! xxx, Sanna
Hello! I decided to join the 2025 Full Deck Challenge. It´s been called to life by ShanoukiArt and this years theme is a collage on a deck of playing cards (or similar). A deck card a week with a different “theme”.
Here are some “rules”: one should do a continuous thing, like for example adding postal stamps (like she does) to every deck card to have something on them that binds them together. I choose to add a date stamp on every deck card. In addition one should take a bit of something from the previously done deck card material and use that on the next one too.
There is a Facebook group (look for Full Deck Challenge Group) to join for sharing one´s creations and also her YouTube channel to the weekly challenge.
It sounded so much fun that I decided to join. At least I´ll try. Here is my take for deck card 3 with the theme “YELLOW”:
Yellow is one of my favorite colors! I used the yellow parts from the gelli printed paper I used on the previous deck cards, then added again some paper bits gifted me by Yuna again. Some yellow washi tape, some Dina Wakley heavy body paint in yellow and velvet ribbon, a chipboard piece, a date stamp and a stamped butterfly (like on the previous deck card). And some glitter glue. Oh, and the Rubber Dance stamp stamped word again, too.
and here is the video:
So far I am really enjoying this! Happy crafting! xxx, Sanna

It sounded so much fun that I decided to join. At least I´ll try. Here is my take for deck card 2 with the theme “ORANGE”:
Here I again used the same gelli print piece, like on the first deck card. This time the more orange part of it. I also added a piece of paper gifted to me by Yuna again. Some washi tape in orange, some bits and bobs from my older stash, a date stamp, a Rubber Dance butterfly and stamped word. Also a paper doll by Tim Holz.
And here is the video about the making:
Orange is not my favorite of colors, so I really had to dig thru my stash to find suitable bits :).
For these cards I first created gelli printed background papers with Wheels and Leaves 2 stencils and acrylic paints. Next I took a more plaint gelli printed paper and stamped the Butterflies and Moths stamp images with black ink onto it and fussy cut the images. I then used these images as centerpiece on the cards. The sentiments on the cards are made with the Mixed Sentiments #1 stamp set.
For this card I used strips of the gelli printed paper with old book page strips.
This card has a full gelli printed Leaves 2 image as background and plenty of butterfly fodder as a centerpiece.
On this card I used a piece of a gelli print with a Wheels stencil image.
For the last card I used another piece of a Wheels gelli print image and added a longer sentiment to accompany the butterfly fodder.
Here is a video how I created the gelli prints and the on the end of the video you can see the piece I used for the butterfly fodder:
I hope you get inspired by this idea. I wanted to use bold colors on these prints, but if that is not your cup of tea, just change the paint colors to something else and have fun printing!!

It sounded so much fun that I decided to join. At least I´ll try. Here is my take for deck card 1 with the theme “RED”:
I used gelli print paper on the background (created with Rubber Dance stencil). Also I added some washi tape, a bird ephemera, some ribbon, old rub-ons, a number from my last years 100 day challenge, a Rubber Dance stamp word and finally, some papers gifted me by Yuna from Australia.
And here is a short video of the process. In the end of the video there is a link to ShanoukiArt´s original video, just in case you want to join too.
Wishing you all a wonderful day & happy crafting! xxx, Sanna
I first started by stamping brown Distress Oxide Ink with the Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set onto the kraft tags. Next I took black stamp ink and the leaves from the Loose Florals 2024 stamp set and stamped black leaf images onto the tags.
Then I colored the leaf images with glitter brush pens and added some gelli printed strips to the bottom of the tags with some old book page pieces. For the gelli print piece I used the same Loose Florals 2024 stamp set.
After that I added some white gel pen circles to the background for interest and adhered some butterfly fodder and ribbon to the tags.
For finishing touches I added some liquid pearls to the butterflies and attached sticker sentiments to each tag.
Here is also a quick step-by-step to how the butterfly fodder was done:
First create a colorful gelli print. I used three tones of paint and “drew” random scribbles to the paint. Next I stamped “Butterflies and Moths 2024” with black stamp ink onto the gelli print. After that I fussy cut all the images. This way I have plenty of fodder ready for my next projects.
Creating the fodder and tags was so much fun. I hope you give it a try! While at it, make sure to try out different color combinations and patterns. This way you have plenty of material to work with for future projects.
Hello, it´s Sanna here again. Here is a set of birthday cards I created using some of my older stash products. Can you guess what is the oldest product on these cards?
I still have plenty of Canvas Corp Brands products in my stash and while I was cleaning my craft area, I stumbled upon these papers. Here is card number one – everything else, except for the stamp and the paper flower “ribbon” ist by them.
Also the second card has the same materials on it. On the first one I colored the flowers with Edding glitter brush pens and some Nuvo alcohol markes in pink tones.
The stamps are by Klartext and the ribbon is (I believe) by American Crafts and it´s definitely the oldest of all product used here. I bought them at least 15 years ago (if not longer ago) and I still have some left. So I am happy to have found a place for them on these cards.
So, as a crafter, how much product do you have in your studio? I bet lots. We all hoard them, right? Well, I am trying to change that – one paper (or paper ribbon) at a time and use them. I mean, I bought them once, because I like them, so I should use them. If you have project ideas for me to older product, let me know in the comments!!!
Happy crafting, xxx, Sanna
Supplies (with alternative suggestions for similar product,too):
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
