Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is another share from my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”. This weeks theme is: “Stack it up!”.
I used layers over layers (as much as I could). Starting with gelli printed leftover paper bits, then adding some texture paste treated paper bits on top. Then some washi tapes. After that some fabric tape bits. Next some pink Posca pen marks and turqouoise Gloss Spray splatter. After that a collage fodder leaf (Rubber Dance) and some hand drawn ephemera (hearts and crosses). In between some yarn and on top some stamped words. I love how this one turned out. The happy colors on top of each other. Pure joy!
The hand drawn bits are from last years 100 day challenge. I am so glad I can incorporate those bits on this challenge. And now to the video:
Hope you liked it and got inspired! See you next week with another one.
Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge” number 13: crazy colors & black mark making.
I started off with gelli printed bits (leftovers) and a piece of collage paper gifted to me by Yuna. I then added black paint with a piece of cardboard packaging material and a foam piece for mark making. Then I added some of my constant (date stamps). I wanted more crazy colors, so I added some Gloss Spray droplets in turquoise and then the hand drawn eyes from my last years “the100daychallenge” with some stamped words (Rubber Dance).
I found this weeks challenge hard, but at the end I am happy about the result. It sure has crazy colors on it!
See you again next week with another deck challenge take! Happy crafting, xxx, Sanna
Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge” number 12: “holes and drippy paint”.
I love how this turned out! I started off with collage papers gifted to me by Yuna. Then I added some Dina Wakley heavy body paint in light pink into the open areas. On top of that I added some small bits of gelli printed paper leftover to which I made holes with my Drop-A-Dile.
After adhering the papers with holes onto the background, I added Gloss Spray (in pink and blue) drippings. Next I added my constant (the date stamp) and after that I decorated the deck card with some Rubber Dance fodder and hand drawn flowers. The leaves are from the set “Pencil Marks 8” and the flowers are from my last years “the100daychallenge” project. For finishing touches I added again some stamped words (Rubber Dance stamp). I love how this deck card turned out!!!
Here is the video for you to watch:

I started by applying heavy body paint in “olive” with a palette knife onto the background. On top of that I used a foam brush to dab “sand” and “apricot” tones thru Big Ovals and Dotted 1 stencils. After that I outlined some of the dabbed paint “circles” with a black pen. Next I took a piece of a old dictionary book and wripped and glued strips of paper onto the background.
Next I wiped some “aloe” tone with my fingers onto the wripped dictionary page pieces to blend them into the background. I then added a layer of “tangelo” with a palette knife onto the page. Next I took the Cross It stencil out and added some white paint thru it onto the orange areas for contrast.
After that I took a black with glimmer mist misted tag out and again dabbed the “lemon” paint onto the tag thru the Wheels stencil. After that I put some “lime” toned paint onto the palette knife and wiped some of it onto the tag. The next layer was done using “stoked” tone and the Marks 2 stencil. I then added the last bits of “turquoise” paint with a palette knife thru the Stars 1 stencil onto the tag.
I sprinkled some Gloss Spray in “turquoise” for interest onto the art journal page. I then glued the stenclied black tag onto the art journal page. After that I added a misted doilie for decoration and created a cluster of leaves with “Doodle Flowers 2″ leaves next to it. There is a video at the end of this post on how I created the leaves.
I finished the page with a paper doll by Tim Holtz and some black and white alphabet stickers. Here is the start-to-finish video for further information:
And this is the video on how I made the leaves fodder:
I hope I could inspire you today. Happy creating! Sanna
Happy Wednesday! Here is another card share, again created using Rubber Dance stamps. For this one I used the Butterflies and Moths fodder and the Mix It Up 4 stamp set.
I stamped the background pattern with Iced Spruce Distress Oxide ink and the Mix It Up 4 stamp set repeatedly. After that I grabbed the butterfly fodder I had previously created using a gelli printed paper and with black ink stamped and fussy cut butterflies.
You can find the how-to reel for the butterfly fodder on my Instagram under reels.
I adhered the butterflies directly onto the stamped card base, then added a Tim Holtz label sentiment and some Dina Wakley Gloss Spray droplets to the butterfly wings.
Hope this card gives you some spring “feelz”!!! Happy crafting, xxx, 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, it´s my turn for a project share over at Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with a fun card project, created using residue gelli printing paper that I turned into card focal points. For this project I used the Dotted 1 and Organic 4 stencils and Mix It Up 4 as well as Butterflies and Moths stamp sets.
When gelli printing, I always take a sheet or two of paper to brayer the residue paint and/or lift paint from the gel plate on to. So sometimes these paper sheets are full of paint layers and I figured, I could upcycle them and make something fun of them.
I first took some die cut dies out and die cut the paper sheets into smaller pieces (circles, banners etc.). Next I took out the Dotted 1 and Organic 4 stencils and added some white and golden heat embossing powder areas to the die cut papers. Next I mixed white modeling paste with magenta acrylic paint together and applied the paste thru the Dotted 1 stencil onto the die cut pieces.
After that I took the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and added stamped details with black and light grey stamping ink to the pieces. After that ink and tinted modeling paste was dry, I added some Gloss Spray details in yellow, turquoise and fuchsia on top.
Now all I needed to do, was to stamp some details to the white card bases with Distress Oxide Inks and the Mix It Up 4 stamp set. I chose lighter colors as a contrast to the bold focal point pieces here. I then adhered the die cut focal point pieces with 3D foam tape onto the card bases, added some Butterflies and Moths fodder to go with them and chose a sticker sentiment to each card. For finishing touches I added a few Gloss Spray droplets alongside the card sentiments for additional interest.
Here is a video on the creating process for you to watch. I hope you get inspired by it!
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
Hello everyone and happy 2025!!! I am posting this project now to make sure the recipient has received it before this going live.
I painted a rose canvas for a relative for Christmas. She loves flowers, so this hopefully is/was a prefect gift for her.
I used acrylic paints, some Posca pens and a gilding fluid to create this canvas. I have done smaller versions of these flowers into journals before, but this was the first canvas I filled with roses.
Here´s to a good start into 2025 – may it be awesome, joyous, exciting and all kinds of positive to everyone. I wish that from the bottom of my heart!
