Stenciled Xmas cards – Rubber Dance

Hello, here is a set of stenciled Xmas cards I created using Rubber Dance products: Dotted stencil, Kartengrüße stamp set and Xmas Trees 2 stencil.

I used Distress Oxide in two tones for the background with the Dotted stencil. I started by inking the whole background with the first ink layer. After that I placed the Dotted stencil on top and added the second blue tone thru the stencil.

Next I took some Gansai Tambi Starry Colors golden pigment and added droplets to the background. After that I grabbed some Graphic45 Christmas papers and drew along the stencil tree patterns of the Xmas Trees 2 stencil with a black pen. Then I fussy cut the images and adhered them to the card.

For the sentiment I used the Kartengrüße stamp set with black ink. Next I stamped some stars to the treetops (Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set) and colored the stars with golden pigment. For finishing touches I also added some golden dots to the blue toned, fussy cut, trees. The ink tones I used for the backgrounds are: peacock feathers, speckled egg and salvaged patina.

I hope you like the card idea and create some fun stenciled Xmas cards too! Happy crafting,

Xmas cards with collage paper

How about putting some of the collage paper piles we all have into good use and create some Christmas cards with them? Here are some I did:

I have a glitter paste stenciled background paper on these cards (made with Tonic Studios paste and Stars 1 Rubber Dance stencil). On top I´ve added some on collage paper stamped (Textured Xmas Trees 2) trees. Finished with Kartengrüße stamp set sentiments. The green tree was stamped on plain paper and then colored with Edding glitter brush pens.

For the second set I´ve used the Marks 3 and Marks 2 stencil with a Gelli Arts gel plate for the backgrounds. On top I´ve used the Xmas Trees 1 stencil with Tonic Studios glitter paste and the sentiment is again done with Kartengrüße stamp set. I really like these bright colors! Who says Xmas cards can´t be bold in color?!

And for the final set I´ve used the Organic 3 and Cross It stencil with a gel plate on the background. The trees (Textured Xmas Trees 2) got stamped onto another gelli printed collage paper and fussy cut. I´ve added some glitter pen details to the slimline card´s trees and the smaller card has some Tonic Studio Nuvo Drops as decor. Sentiments on both were stamped with the Kartengrüße stamp set.

Have fun creating some Xmas cards with collage papers, stamps and stencils!!!

Quick stenciled Xmas card idea – Rubber Dance

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!
