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! xxx, Sanna
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! Sanna
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, xxx, Sanna
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.
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! xxx, Sanna
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!
