Lucky You – cards

Hello, today I´m sharing the last cards of this year. Just two mushroom cards I created with my final bits of Gloss Sprays and the Textured Mushrooms 2 stamp set.

For these cards I just grabbed a green paper onto which I had applied some texture paste thru the Marks 2 Rubber Stamps stencil. On top some neon colored droplets and a cluster of mushrooms and a stamped sentiment. The “Lucky You” text in German is hand written and some gloss spray droplets accompany it.

I created two of these cards, using the same basic idea on both. Wishing you all a good last day of 2024!!! And all the best for the next year to come. Lot´s of health, happiness and creative fun!! See you on the other side!

Inspirational cards for the New Year with positive and negative stencil images

Hello, it´s my turn again today over at Rubber Dance blog and I am up with a set of motivational/inspirational cards for the new year, created using positive and negative stencil images. For the cards I used the Textured Mushrooms 2 stamp set with the Wheels and the Leaves 2 stencil.

Here is how I created these cards:

I first took a white card base and added Distress Oxide Ink in blue tones thru the Leaves 2 stencil onto it. For my second background I then took the already inked stencil, spritzed it with water and pressed the wet image onto another piece of white paper and let that dry.

You can see both backgrounds here on the above cards. For centerpiece I used leftover pieces from my previous projects, like the leaf images, the Gloss Spray mushrooms and the circle image. The sentiment are created with the Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set. I stamped the images on white paper, then fussy cut every word and arranged different sentiments with the words.

For the second set of cards with orange and red toned backgrounds, I did the same, except I inked a piece of white mixed media paper, then spritzed the Wheels stencil again with water and made a negative image with the leftover ink. In fact, the inked stencil image can be used several times, until the stencil has no ink/color left.

For these cards I used the basic idea, like on the blue cards. If the card recipient loves strong color combinations, then you can give them the positive image card and if not, go for the lighter, negative stencil image background.

Since the Sketchy Leaves stamp is sold out due to popular demand, I will link an alternative product for you. Basically any leftover images can be used as centerpieces here. Just cluster them and add an interesting sentiment and your inspirational mixed media cards are done.

Hope you get inspired!

Mixed media background Christmas card – Rubber Dance

Hello, it´s my turn for a Rubber Dance project share today again. I am up with another Christmas card created with a mixed media background. For this card I used all the gelli printed paper bits I had left over from my previously shared Christmas cards. For details I used the Stars 1 stencil, the Mix It Up 5 stamp set and the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set.

Here is how I created the card:

I took a piece of printing paper and adhered the leftover gelli prints onto it first. Next I took some white texture paste and applied it onto the background thru the Stars 1 stencil with a palette knife.

Then I wiped some turquoise dimensional pearls here and there onto the background with a palette knife. After that I took some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink and stamped random text images onto the background. The stamp I used was the Mit It Up 5 set.

Next I changed to a black stamp ink and added other stamped imaged to the background from the same stamp set. Then I applied some Gloss Spray splatters in pink and yellow for contrast and let them dry. Finally, I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped a textured tree with black stamp ink onto it. I finished the card off with a stamped sentiment and adhered the tree with 3D foam onto the card.

This is not a typical Christmas card, but will be a perfect one for that one mixed media loving friend. Wishing you a lovely holiday season!

Slimline Christmas card

Hello and happy Thursday! Here is another slimline card I created with the Gloss Spray Xmas Trees I made in bulk.

For this one I just took the premade trees and arranged and adhered them onto a slimline card, then added some stamped stars from the same stamp set (see details on the supply list). I used Distress Oxide inks for stamping the stars.

After that I added some datails with Stickles and a stamped sentiment into the middle, adhered with 3D foam tape.

Have a great rest of the week!
Happy crafting,

CAS slimline Christmas cards – Rubber Dance

Hello, it´s again my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog. Today I am up with a set of slimline Christmas cards. I used the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set fo create these cards.

For these cards I used the same basic idea, like on the Textured Mushrooms cards I shared here. This time I took a little different Gloss Spray tones and colored all trees with the sprays instead of leaving some uncolored.

I then stamped onto the colored paper with black stamp ink, let the ink dry and fussy cut the images.

After that I arranged the images onto the slimline card bases and adhered them on place. For finishing touches I added some sentiments from the same stamp set. These cards are very fast an easy to do, so if you a looking for a Christmas card idea that is easy to make – this might be just the one.

Also, if you don´t own Gloss Sprays, you can use acrylic paints, stamp inks or other spray inks for the same idea, just instead of glossy paper, take a paper medium suitable for the ink you are using.

Happy creating,

Artist Trading card set with Textured Mushrooms 2 – Rubber Dance

Hello, it´s my turn over at the Rubber Dance blog again today and I am sharing a fall themed Artist Trading Card set, created with Textured Mushrooms 2, Mix It Up 6 and Mix a Sentiment 2023 stamp sets as well as the Lattice stencil. As my starting point I again used the Gloss Spray mushrooms from my post back on the 20th of October. I made plenty of them at once and now have fun material to play with.

For this set I started with a red patterned paper piece that I fussy cut into right size. Next I took Dina Wakley paints in tones Mineral and Sage and applied those thru the Lattice stencil onto the papers very randomly. After the paint was dry, I added stamping with the Mit It Up 6 stamp set stamps and brown stamp ink.

For additional interest I added some Gloss Spray splatters in Cheddar and Fuchsia and let the layer dry before attaching some screen prints to the cards with a stapler. Now all I needed to do, was to arrange the Gloss Spray mushrooms onto the cards and adhere them on place. For finishing touches I added some Mix a Sentiment 2023 words to the ATC´s as well as added details to the mushrooms with Posca pens. Finally, to add more depth to the cards, I inked the edges with a brown Distress Oxide ink.

And here is the video start-to-finish for further details and steps – hope you like it and get inspired!

Happy creating!

Art Journal page with stencils, Distress Oxide Inks and Textured Mushrooms 2

Hello everyone, it´s my turn to share another inspiration project over at Rubber Dance blog today again. This time I have a fun art journal page share with tutorial prepared for inspiration. I used Big Ovals, Textured Mushrooms 2 and Round in Circles on this page and I have a video tutorial up for steps and details.

For this art journal page I used the Gloss Spray painted mushrooms I had created for my previous post and hand plenty left over from. But first I started by creating a fun background with the Big Ovals stencil and Distress Oxide inks in orange and yellow tones. On top of that I have added Gloss Spray splatters in aloe, fuchsia and sand.

Next I´ve arranged the mushrooms in two circles into the middle of the page and added a Distress Oxide ink stamped circle image (from the Round In Circles set) into the very center of the page. Then I stamped some additional circles with brown stamp ink here and there to the background and finished the page off with some medieval Gloss Spray splatters and a fall themed quote.

Here is a video tutorial to give you a better idea of every step of the process – hope you like it!

I really like this stamp set so much – it was so much fun to create something in bright and happy fall colours into my art journal. I hope you get inspired to create too!

Clean and simple card set with Textured Mushrooms 2 and Gloss Sprays

Hello! It´s project share day over at Rubber Dance blog today for me and I am up with a mushroom themed card set in clean and simple style and slimline format. I used my favorite fall stamp set (Textured Mushrooms 2) on these cards with Gloss Sprays and a typewriter written sentiment.

Here is how I created the cards:

First I took a piece of glossy cardstock and applied several tones of Gloss Spray onto the surface by wiping the color here and there and then adding some droplets on top.

Next I took the Textured Mushrooms 2 stamp set and stamped mushrooms onto the colored paper with black stamp ink. The ink needs to dry a while, because of the glossy surface, but once it is dry, you can continue with the next step.

After that I fussy cut the colorful mushrooms. For these cards I only needed two of them, so I have plenty still to use on future projects.

Then I stamped smaller mushrooms onto a plain slimline card base with black ink and added a colored, fussy cut mushroom as a centerpiece into th middle of the card (adhered with 3D foam tape). Now I just needed to decorate.

I then wrote a sentiment with my old typewriter onto a piece of leftover gelli printed paper, adhered that onto the card and added some Gloss Spray splatters around the mushrooms and the card was done. I did the same steps with both cards.

I hope you get inspired by this easy-to-do idea and make some fun fall-themed cards yourself! If you don´t own Gloss Sprays, try using other spray paints, spray inks or watercolors. They work just as well for this idea. Just replace the glossy paper with a different one. Have fun!

5 minutes Valentine´s card

Hi there! If you had just so much time in your hands and had to make a card, what would you do?

I grabbed my Dina Wakley paints and a palette knife and randomly created a blackground pattern with them. Then I fussy cut an image from the Dina Wakley collage collective book and adhered that on place. The sentiment is a stamp I bought years and years ago somewhere, but cannot remember where.

So I added the stamping next. After that I took some Simple Stories stickers and added them to the card with some rhinestones and outlined with a black pen. And all done – probably took me about 5 minutes! And still it´s a fun card with gorgeous colour to make someone happy.

Have a great day!

DAP-journal / December 28th, 2022

Hello there! Here is another share from my DAP-journal:

For this page I used a premade gelli printed background piece (done with a STAMPlorations stencil – my line there) and some Glimmer Mist on top. In addition to that layer, I added strips of washi, some white gesso, Stabilo all black pencil and Neocolor 2´s. On top of those layers I added the original almanac page and it fits the color sheme very well.

Have a good start into the new week!
