Rubber Dance – stamped mixed media birthday cards

Leave a comment

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

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:

Quick stenciled Xmas card idea – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn to share a Rubber Dance project again. I am sharing a set of Christmas cards this time. I used the Xmas Trees 2 and the Stars 1 stencil for these cards. The idea is very simple, you just need some gelli printed collage papers as a starting point.

I have quite a pile of collage papers that I´ve created with Rubber Dance stamps and stencils during the past year. This pile is a great starting point to any kind of project, basically. Here I´ve used gelli printed images that I created using the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set. Next I took a glitter paste and applied it thru the Stars 1 stencil onto the paper.

After cutting the paper into size, I wripped the bottom part of the paper. The “unclean” line add more interest to the card.

After that I took another collage paper (created with Marks 2 and Marks 3 stencils and bold colors) and placed the Xmas Trees 2 stencil on top. I then traced the tree patterns with a black pen onto the paper and fussy cut the trees.

I then took a piece of white paper and stamped Christmas wishes with black ink and Kartengrüße stamp set. Cut into size and adhered to the card and the card set was done in no time.
Here is step-by-step video, too:

Have fun creating with collage papers and adding details with stencils!

Full Deck Challenge 37/2025 – coffee

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, number 37: coffee.

I used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna from Australia and cafe con leche colored paper strips on the background. The collage papers are my carry over items from the previous deck card. On top I added some stamping with Hero Arts “cup-o-joe” brown ink (again the coffee theme there) and this Rubber Dance stamp.

After that I took a piece of gelli printed paper and stamped a STAMPlorations coffee mug with a sentiment as my focal point. I then also added the same brown stamp ink and stamping onto the mug. My constant is a date stamp (on the background) and I again used this Rubber Dance stamp set words to add detail.

Here is the process video:

See you again next week with another take!

“Hello Fall” Art journal page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello! It´s my turn to share another project created with Rubber Dance goodies over at their blog today. I am up with a fall themed art journal page process video step-by-step. I used one of my favorite stencils, the Leaves 2, for the background. More details were added with Autumn Leaves, Mix It Up 7, A to Z and Loose Florals 2024 stamp sets.

I started with the Leaves 2 stencil and Distress Inks in peeled paint, mustard seed, ripe persimmon and forest moss. I placed the stencil onto the page and started by adding the yellow ink tone. Then I took the other ink pads and brushed just tiny areas with them. I then flipped the stencil over and continued with the pattern (my page is bigger than the stencil) in the same way. After that I added some yellow to the background with a blending brush. Next I added stamped elements with the Mix It Up 7 stamp set.

Since it is a fall themed art journal page, I added some gold pigment with a water brush pen, too. Then I chose one of my gelli printed collage papers and wripped it into size. It is made using the Loose Florals 2024 stamp set on a gel plate (see the video here). After adhering the collage paper on place I took out some watercolor style stamped (see video here) Autumn Leaves and arranged them on top.

I also tuck a DIY vintage ticket (see video here) under the collage paper to create a cluster. On top of it all I added a Tim Holtz paper doll with dragonfly wings. I stamped the title with A to Z stamp set onto a paint residue paper and fussy cut the letters with scissors.

And here is the art journal page process video. Have fun watching!

I just love how the background turned out. I might just use that same idea on some cards!!
Happy creating,

Full Deck Challenge 35/2025 – letters of the alphabet

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 35: letters of the alphabet.

As my carry over item from the previous deck card, I used the dark green paper strip and the one with the stenciled stars on it (on the previous card I used the backside, here it´s the front).

The other paper piece is from my gelli printing projects, where I wipe residue inks etc. onto a separate paper. I usually save these papers for later use and somehow they always find a way into artworks.

My constant is a date stamp and it´s added to the background in a repeated manner. I then used tiny sticker alphas as my “letters of the alphabet”. I scattered them onto the background very randomly to create a pattern with them. Next I took a fuchsia Posca pen and added splatters with the marker tothe surface.

I finished the card off with a Rubber Dance stamp image from the set “Mix It Up 6” and added stamped words from the “Mix A Sentiment 2023” set.

Here is again the process video – have fun watching!

See you again next week with another deck card take!

Fast and easy-to-do bird cards – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello! It´s my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I have an easy-to-do set of cards up. I used the Mini Marks 1 stencil, the Textured Birds 2 and Weed Love stamp sets for these cards.

I started by stamping the birds onto a gelli printed paper and then fussy cutting them. After that I used the Mini Marks 1 stencil on the card backgrounds with Distress Oxide Inks (twisted citron and salvaged patina) and a blending tool. Next I stamped a “branch” to the card for the birds to sit on using the Weed Love stamp set. After adhering the birds onto place I added the stamped sentiments and a few hearts and stars to the cards.

Here is a short start-to-finish video for you to watch. Hope you like the idea!

If you have leftover gelli printed papers, try using them for creating coloful bird images next time. Then grab a stencil and you have a finished card created in no time!
Happy crafting,
