50th birthday card set

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! I recently created a set of 50th birthday cards. This is what I ended up creating:

Both of them are for a woman, but she is not a girly, pink, flower girl. Thus the more “cool” designs. On this card I´ve used Dani Peuss papers on the background and some older chipboard and stickers from my stash. Plus some spray ink in black and a black gel pen.

Like the first one, the second is also a slimline format card:

For this one I used a Rubber Dance stencil (Leaves 2) with Distress Oxide Inks in various blue shades. I also added two types of American Crafts alpha stickers (foam and vinyl). I also used some black and golden pigment droplets as well as a piece of twine and a some chipboard stars and a stamped Stampin´ Up! sentiment. Stamped with a blue VersaFine Clair stamp ink.

Inside one of the cards I created a pocket for a gift card. The other one is without one. These were fun to make! I hope the recipient will also appreciate them ;-).

Happy crafting,
xx, Sanna

Stamped card background card set – Rubber Dance

Hello, it´s my turn to hare some Rubber Dance inspiration today. I created another card set and tutorial share. For this card I used only one stamp set – the Mix It Up 7.

I started by applying Distress Oxide Inks in yellow, pink and light green tones with a blending brush onto a piece of white cardstock.

After that I chose stronger Distress Oxide Ink colors for my second layer (blues, greys, browns and greens). I randomly stamped with various images from the same stamp set onto the background. I also changed the ink color every time I changed to another stamp image.

Next I took the wings and flowers from the same stamp set and stamped with black stamp ink onto a piece of white cardstock. Then I fussy cut the images.

Finally I glued everything onto a white card base. The black and white images formed the focal point. For finishing touches I also added some Stickles to glimmer, like seen on this photo.

Here is a video on the full process for you to watch:

I had so much fun making these card backgrounds. I hope I could inspire you to grab a stamp set and make some fun backgrounds! Have fun!

Ink blended and stamped clean & simple style cards – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, I am up over at the Rubber Dance blog with a card set tutorial. For these cards I used plenty of Distress Oxide Inks and two various rubber stamp sets (Weed Love & Round in Circles) from the store.

And this is how I created these cards:

First I added some washi tape to create borders for the area I was about to add ink blending onto. I used Distress Oxide Ink tones: saltwater taffy, spiced marmelade and abandoned coral for the first card. After adding the ink onto the card base I used one of the Weed Love stamp set stamps to add some stamping onto the area using black stamp ink.

Next I added another layer of washi tape on top of the ink blended and stamped area to create a border with black ink and one of the Round in Circles stamps. After that I only had to decorate the card with a sentiment (Tim Holtz Quote Chips) and a few enamel stars and the first card was done.

For the second card I used the same steps, but changed the colors to: hickory smoke, salvaged patina and fossilized amber. After that I added a border with the same stamp as on the previous card, except this time I stamped slightly overlappingly to create a different border. Then to decorate the card with Quote Chips and some green enamel dots.

I hope I could inspire you to play with the stamps featured on today´s post and give ink blending and creating clean and simple styled cards a try. Have fun!!!
