STAMPlorations Spring Fling blog hop and linky party!!!

7 Comments

Hello everyone! Today is the day – we have a blog hop and linky party prepared for you at STAMPlorations!! Are you ready??

This is my take on a spring theme! I used the Onions in Raws stencil with a gelli plate to create a gelli printed collage paper background for my card. On top I added a ATC paper goods piece from the set called Color Me Spring ATC. I also added a few paper flowers to top and bottom of the ATC piece to create more texture. Some half pearls and the card was done. I didn´t add a sentiment this time.

Here are some details of the hop and linky party:

“You Are” Art Journal page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s Sanna here today with another Art Journal page share. For this project I used the Mix It Up 7 and the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp sets with the Mini Marks 1 and the Sketchy Leaves 7 stencils on this journal page.

I started by applying the ground espresso Distress Paint randomly with a palette knife onto the page. Next I took some leftover collage paper bits and adhered them around the edges to the page. After that I applied layers of Distress Paint in antique linen, spun sugar and tumbled glass to the background. Some parts of the residue collage papers got cover with paint, some didn´t. After that I added some stamping using the Mix It Up 7 stamp set and grey and brown stamp inks and the number stamps.

As my next layer I added some stamped “punchinella” pattern with a light grey stamp ink and the Mix It Up 7 stamp set here and there. As my next step I used the Mini Marks 1 stencil and Distress Paint picket fence to add some stenciling to the page. My paint is a bit older and thicker already, so it works great as texture paste here.

As my focal point I used a previosly made Brusho leaf collage fodder piece (see video here) and for the sentiment I stamped and fussy cut a sentiment from the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp set. For final touches and additional interest I also had to add a few droplets of Gloss Spray in cheddar.

Here is the process video for you to watch:

Hope I could inspire you to play with Rubber Dance products in your own journal!

Happy crafting,

Collage paper birthday cards – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! It´s Sanna here today with a set of gelli printed collage paper and fodder cards. For these cards I used the Wheels and Stars 1 stencils to create the background collage papers. For the focal points I used the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil and the Organic 4 stencil. The sentiments are stamped with the Kartengrüße stamp set.

For the first card I used a collage paper I had made with acrylic paints and the Stars 1 stencil with my gelli plate. I then added some white texture paste I had tinted pink with neon acrylic paint thru the Organic 4 stencil onto the surface. I cut the paper in size and adhered it onto place. I then took the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil and a piece of paint brayered paper and outlined the stencil image onto that paper. After fussy cutting I adhered it as my centerpiece to the card. I stamped the sentiment onto white paper which I had inked with pink ink to match the colors of the card. Some outlining with a black pen and some alcohol ink colored pearls for decor and the card was done.

For the second card I again used acrylic paints and a gel plate. This time with the Wheels stencil.

I created the leaf pattern the same way like on my first card, except I used another collage paper for this purpose. This time I added some rhinestones for sparkle and a fussy cut, on white paper stamped sentiment for detail.

I love using gelli printed collage papers! And I don´t mind if the prints don´t turn out perfect, but have just a hint of pattern on them. I find that makes them more artsy and interesting as a card background.

I hope I could inspire you to play with Rubber Dance stencils abit today!
Happy crafting,

Cards with bold backgrounds – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, today I have a card set share up that feature very bold backgrounds. They don´t need much on top as they really stand out on their own. For these cards I used the Loose Florals 2024 and the Doodle Flowers 2 stamp sets as well as the Kartengrüße set for stamped sentiments.

The background papers are from a gelli printing session where I made my own collage papers using strong colors and the Loose Florals 2024 stamp set. For this set I wripped the paper on one side to create an irregular border and adhered the paper onto a card base. On top I added something light – a lightly inked collage fodder flower in pink. To go with it, I added a few enamel hearts and a stamped sentiment along the cards edge.

On the second set I have a even more distressed look going on on the background. Thus I left the backgorunds full and didn´t wrip the paper. I love the peeled paint look of the paper. It makes it seem like vintage wallpaper in layers. For these cards I again used the same principle. A bold background paper paired with a single flower as a focal point.

Here I added some faux stitching around the edges with a white gel pen. Some glitter glue for detail onto the flowers and a stamped sentiment on a residue piece that has the same tone like some areas on the background piece.

And all these cards are flat and thus very easy to put into mail. Who else loves creating collage papers with stamps and a gelli plate?
