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,

Layered art journal page – Rubber Dance

Hello, today I have an art journal page share for you. For this page I used the Doodle Flowers 2, Butterflies and Moths, Mix It Up 5, Mix It Up 7, Carved Collection 6, Stitching Borders and Mix It Up 4 stamp sets as well as Dotted 1 and Mini Textures 1 stencils.

I started by wiping residue ink from the Dotted 1 stencil onto the background and pressing another layer of residue brown ink from the Mini Textures 1 stencil around the first pattern. Next I grabbed some Neocolor II crayons and applied various yellow and light pink tones to the page. After that I grabbed a selection of pink, green, brown and turquoise Distress Oxide Inks and used the various stamps to add details and layers to the background.

I also painted some circles onto the page and filled those with golden pigment dots. Next I added contrast with a black stamp ink by adding stamped stars and numbers as well as stitching. I then clustered a few collage fodder pieces together (leaves and butterfly) and adhered those on place. I also had a few “diy vintage labels” left over, so I adhered a few onto the page. For finishing touches I added two sentiment stickers and created black areas with an acrylic marker and detailed those with a white gel pen.

This was a really fun one to make! Have you tried this idea of freely adding plenty of layers and seeing where the page takes you?

Rubber Dance – gelli printed collage paper tags

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, I´m here today with a set of gelli printed collage paper tags. I´ve used the Leaves #2, Ornament 1, Dotted 1 and Organic 4 stencils to make the gelli printed collage papers. For the stamping and fodder I used the Stitching Borders, Collage Leaves 3 and Doodle Flowers 2 stamp sets.

I started by using a Gelli Arts mini printing square plate for creating the stenciled images as well as the stenciled and transfer image ones. After creating plenty of collage paper squares, I chose the ones that worked the best together and adhered those to tags. On top I then added a some stamping with black ink and the Stitching Border set. On top I then added some collage fodder leaves (made with Doodle Flowers 2 set). For finishing touches I added some stamped sentiments from the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set.

For dimension and interest I also adhered a few wood veneer pieces from my stash and added some ribbon to the tags.

On how to make those gelli printed papers, there are plenty of videos available on the interned. I made a few here too. Hope you get inspired to try out making your own collage papers with Rubber Dance stencils and a gel plate. Have fun!

CARDS, MIXED MEDIA, RUBBER DANCE ART STAMPS

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?

“Note to self” Art Journal Page process – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with an art journal page share. For this page I used the Ornament 1 and Mini Textures 1 stencils. For stamping I used Doodle Flowers 2, Collage Leaves 3 and A to Z stamp sets. I wanted to create an inspirational page and this is what I came up with:

My starting point was the inked Ornament 1 stencil which I sprayed with water mist and then pressed onto the journal page. Next I blended two tones of pink Distress Oxide Ink around the edges and white areas. After that I took the darker pink tone and stamped some leaf patterns onto the inked area, followed with light grey stamping.

I had a green toned collage paper ready and stamped with Collage Leaves 3 stamp set and black ink some leaves onto it. After that I fussy cut them and was ready to adhere them to my journal page. On top of the leaves I added a few Doodle Flowers 2 collage fodder images that I had previously made.

Then I decorated with leaves with golden pigment details. Next I stamped some inspirational words into the middle with the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set. For finishing touches I added a hand stamped title using the rest of my collage paper and the A to Z stamp set.

I also recorded a process video for you to watch – hope you enjoy!

Have fun creating!!

Full Deck Challenge 49/2025 – mosaic

Leave a comment

Hello! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt 2025 Full Deck Challenge number 49: mosaic.

As my carry over item I used some of the gelli printed blue collage paper from my previous deck card. To that I added some collage papers gifted t me by Yuna. Then I added my constant – a date stamp.

On top I used a die cut piece (Elizabeth Craft Designs) that reminds me of mosaics. On top a collage flower by Rubber Dance and some stamped words.

Here is the video for details:

See you soon with my next take!

Full Deck Challenge 43/2025 – circles

Leave a comment

Hello, this is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 2025, number 43: circles.

I again used Yuna´s collage papers and my carry over item – bits of old book paper – on the background. On top I mixed white modeling paste with Dina Wakley heavy body paint in turquoise and stenciled it thru a Rubber Dance circle stencil onto the deck card.

In between the stenciled pattern, I stamped my constant, the date stamp images. For decor I added a premade collage flower (stamp by Rubber Dance) and some word stickers (Tim Holtz).

Here is the start-to-finish-video:

See you again next week for another FDC take!

Summer Dreams Art Journal page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! I am up over at the Rubber Dance blog today with this art journal page share. I used the Stacked Ovals stencil, the Carved Collection 6, the A to Z and the Mix It up 4 stamp sets for this journal page. I also incorporated collage fodder bits made with Doodle Flowers 2 stamp set and Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil.

Here is how I created the page:

I started with Stacked Ovals ad Distress Oxide Ink in picked raspberry. I inked the stencil with the ink pad and then misted it with water. After that I pressed the stencil onto the journal page. I repeated this step until the page was fully covered.

Then I took Distress Oxide Ink in antique linen and salvaged patina, placed the stencil on top of the previously created image and inked the empty areas with both inks. This created a very interesting background to start with.

After that I grabbed the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and the scallop border stamp and stamped the border along the center of the page. Next I used a black pen to outline the scallops and add a little contrast.

Then I stamped some stars with black ink onto the page, added a collage paper piece and various colors of yarn on top. Next I decorated the paper strip with collage fodder I had made using the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil and Doodle Flowers 2 stamp set (see video here and here).

After that I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped letters with A to Z stamp set onto it. I then fussy cut the letters and adhered those to the journal as my title. I also sneaked a flower onto the paper (see the video how to make those here). I felt like the page needed some more structure, so I stamped the black line with a flower stemp stamp from the Carved Collection 6 stamp set and added a scallop border underneath (from the Mix It Up 4 set).

I am totally in love with the Stecked Ovals stencil – the backgroud was so much fun to make! I hope you give this idea a try.

Happy creating,
xx, Sanna

Full Deck Challenge 33/2025 – song lyrics

Leave a comment

Hello, this is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 33/2025 – song lyrics.

I started by taking a gelli printed paper (used this Rubber Dance stamp for it) and wrote some lines from Derik Fein´s “Sun” onto paper with my old typewriter.

I then adhered the paper onto the lightly sanded playing card and added a carry-over-item from my previous deck card to it: a piece of old book paper. Next to that I adhered a piece of collage paper gifted to me by Yuna from Australia. After that I added my constant – the date stamp – onto the book paper part. I didn´t want to cover all the song lyrics, therefore I kept the background simple and just added some collage fodder and a sentiment on top this time. The collage fodder is made with this Rubber Dance stamp and this stencil. The sentiment was done using this stamp set. You can see how I go about creating these collage pieces, if you watch my Rubber Dance playlist on YouTube :).

See you next week with another FDC take! Until then, happy crafting,

Monochromatic card set with Distress Inks and Rainbows #2 stencil – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! It´s my turn to share an inspirational project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with a monochromatic card set. I wanted to create a card background using the Rainbows #2 stencil and that is how this idea started. In addition I used the Mixed Sentiments #1 and added collage fodder elements I had previously created with Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil and Butterflies and Moths, as well as Doodle Flowers 2 stamp sets.

I started by taking a mixed media paper and cutting it into smaller sizes. Then I placed the Rainbows #2 stencil on top of the paper and applied Crystal Gel with a palette knife thru the stencil onto the surface. I did two surfaces and let them dry properly – make sure they are really dry – before moving to the next step.

Next I took a blue and green Distress Ink (twisted citron & peacock feathers) and applied those onto the stenciled surface. After that I took a baby wipe and wiped any residue ink off from the crystal gel-treated areas. After that I took double sided adhesive tape and adhered the inked and stenciled paper onto a white card base. I then decorated the card with collage fodder leaves and butterflies and stamped and fussy cut a sentiment from Mixed Sentiments #1 stamp set. For finishing touches I added some green adhesive half pearls to the butterfly.

I did the exact same steps on the pink and orange toned card, but I used spiced marmalade and picked raspberry Distress Inks on the background. The collage fodder is done using the Butterflies and Moths stamp set and the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil. You can find tutorials to the collage fodder bits here, here and here.

And here is the full start-to-finish video for more details. Hope you like it!

I hope I could inspire you to try out Rubber Dance stencils with clear texture paste and inks. It´s a lot of fun!

Happy crafting,
