Collage fodder cards with stenciling

Hello everyone! Today I´m sharing a set of two cards, created using Rubber Dance products:: Organic #2, Sketchy Flowers #3, Scribbles #1, Mix It Up 6, Kartengrüße, Butterflies and Moths as well as Sketchy Leaves 5.

I started off with collage papers I had made using the Cross It stencil with my gelli plate and acrylic paints. I first cut the paper into a size to fit the card bases. After that I took Distress Oxide Inks in two grey tones as well as a turquoise tone and applied ink thru the Scribbles and Organic stencil patterns onto the collage papers. I didn´t fill the whole paper with these patterns, instead I applied bits here and there. That way the original pattern also still shows thru.

Next I stamped with grey VersaFine ink and the Mix It Up 6 text stamp some patterns to both pieces of paper. I then took the number stamp from the same set and stamped with dark brown ink (also VersaFine ink) next to the previous stamped areas. As the next layer I took the Sketchy Flowers #3 stamp set and stamped only the tiny leaf images with black stamp ink – again next to the previously stamped areas.

My next layer on the background was Gloss Spray droplets in “lemon” and “blushing”. At this point I let the paper dry a while until adding the focal point elements.

As a focal point I used some collage fodder I had made with the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil from gelli printed collage papers (see video here). I also added some butterflies (Butterflies and Moths set) that I had created the same way. Finally I stamped a sentiment for each card using the Kartengrüße stamp set. I stamped on white paper first and then wiped light blue ink onto the paper to have a matching color with the card backgrounds.

I also recorded a step-by-step video – hope it inspires you!

I like creating this type of layered cards – what about you? I hope this inspires you to play with your Rubber Dance products!!

AJ page with layered stenciling and Distress Oxide Inks – Rubber Dance

Hello, it´s Sanna here today with a layer stenciled art journal page share. For this project I used the following products: Organic 4 and Mini Textures 1 stencils as well as the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil in the focal point cluster. The stamps used as a further layer and focal point feature following sets: Mix It Up 7, Mix It Up 4, Collage Leaves 3 and Mix It Up 6.

I started with the following steps:

I first inked a lighter toned layer thru the above mentioned stencil onto the page, then slightly moved the stencil to create a 3D-effect and inked over the area with a similar tone, but slithly darker. That creates this really fun effect.

Next I took a black stamp ink and stamped some details with the Mix It Up 4 stamp set.

Followed with further stamping with the Mix It Up 6 and Mix It Up 7 stamp sets.

I also added some asemic writing to the background before creating a cluster of elements as a focal point. The blue collage fodder element is a previous make with Sketchy Leaves 5 and Brushos (see details here). The leafy flower is stamped on a music note paper with black ink (using Collage Leaves 3) and then fussy cut. Finally the sentiment was stamped on an old book page with the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set anf fussy cut to fit the page composition.

I also added some “turquoise” and “medieval” Gloss Spray droplets as detail and also added some stamped eyes in the process. They are from the Mix It Up 7 stamp set.

I love layering stencils and adding fun details to art journal pages with them. Then mixing some stamping with various stamp sets for contrast make creating art journal pages so much fun! I hope I could inspire you all abit with this page.

Have fun creating with Rubber Dance products!

Mixed media birthday card – Rubber Dance

Hello everyone! It´s Sanna here today with another birthday card share. For this card I´ve used Marks 3 and Rainbows 2 stencils with Butterflies and Moths, Kartengrüße and Stitching Borders stamps.

I started off with 3 different papers – some of them were gelli printed collage papers and others had texture paste stenciling on them. I adhered them onto the slimline card base and started adding Distress Paints in “spun sugar” and “antique linen” here and there. After the paint layers had dried, I placed the Rainbows 2 stencil onto the paper and added some Distress Oxide Inks thru the stencil onto the background. I used greys, browns and light greens here. I also added some black and pink ink splatters to the background as well as some Posca pen marks in bright pink.

After that I stamped outlining with the Stitching Borders stamp set and a line into the middle with black ink. Then I took some collage butterflies I had made previously and adhered those to the card as a centerpiece. I added some white gel pen details to them and finished the card off with a stamped birthday wish.

Who else is in love with the butterfly stamps? I could add them to almost every project I make.

Happy crafting,

Fly free – Art Journal page with Rubber Dance

Hello, I am here today with a page from my art journal. For this page I used the Organic 4, Sketchy Leaves 6 and Wheels stencils and plenty of stamps: Carved Collection 6, Mix It Up 6, Butterflies and Moths, Doodle Flowers 2 and from A to Z.

I started by placing the leaves and using them as masks with salvaged patina Distress Oxide Ink. I placed them onto the page and brushed the ink over them to the page repeatedly. After that I continued the background pattern with the Wheels stencil and the same ink tone, blending them into each other. Next I took the Organic 4 stencil and continued adding the same ink thru the stencil onto the page.

After finishing the inking, I took the iced spruce Distress Oxide Ink and stamped with Mix It Up 6 stamp set hand writing stamp over the white leaf areas very freely. Then I outlined the leaves with a black pen. This made them pop out of the background and I love the look it creates to the page. After that I used the number stamp from the same stamp set with aged mahogany Distress Oxide Ink to randomly stamp numbers next to the leaf patterns.

After that I took the peacock feathers Distress Oxide Ink tone and stamped a leaf pattern with the Carved Collection 6 stamp onto the page from top towards the bottom. I added golden pigment details with Gansai Tambi watercolors to them. Then I took some previously made leaf and collage fodder (see videos here and here) and added those on top of the stamped leaves overlappingly.

I also decorated the page with some yellow toned butterflies. These were also previously made collage fodder (with Butterflies and Moths stamp set) from my gelli printing sessions. For the text I used black ink and the word free from the Mix It Up 6 stamp set. The word fly is stamped with the A to Z set.

For finishing touches I also added some light written text stamping in the salvaged patina tone next to the pink flowers. It´s just a hue, but it adds some detail to the otherwise blank area. I also added some golden droplets and Gloss Spray in the tone blushing here and there.

For more details, here is the start-to-finish video for you to watch:

I really enjoy playing with stencils, creating collage fodder and then combining all these bits and pieces together in a project.

Happy crafting,

Rubber Dance – stamped mixed media birthday cards

Hello, it´s my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance today. I am up with a set of cards, created using some of the new Rubber Dance stamps. For this card set I used the: Collage Leaves 3, Stitching Borders and Kartengrüße stamp sets. My starting point was a previously made, gelli printed collage paper. For that I had used the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil.

I started by cutting the previously made collage paper (gelli print with Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil) in two halves. After that I took an additional residue collage paper piece and stamped with black ink and Collage Leaves 3 onto it. Next I fussy cut the images.

After that I arranged a German birthday sentiment onto an acrylic block and stamped with orange and green Distress Oxide inks onto the background collage paper. Then I added some golden pigment splatters to the backgrounds. Next I took the fussy cut leaves and adhered them onto the card bases. For finishing touches I added a stamped birthday sentiment in black and some stitching around the edges with brown Distress Oxide Ink.

Here is the process video for you to watch:

I hope you get inspired and create fun, stamped cards with the new Rubber Dance stamps!

Happy crafting,
Sanna

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 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!

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!
