Clean and simple collage paper Christmas cards – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, I am up over at the Rubber Dance blog again today with another clean and simple card Christmas card share. For these cards I used some gelli printed collage papers, the Xmas Trees 2 stencil and the Kartengrüße stamp set. For the collage paper I had used the Textured Xmas Trees 2 and the Mix It Up 4 stamp set.

I basically combined the ideas from my previously shared Christmas cards here. I die cut the collage paper with the Textured Xmas Trees 2 pattern on it with circle die cut dies. And the Mix It Up 4 set circle stamp patterned paper is traced thru the Xmas Trees 2 stencil and then fussy cut. I then adhered both pieces to a white card base, added a sentiment stamp with the Kartengrüße stamp set and some golden pigment droplets here and there.

For the second card I basically did the same, except the stamped sentiment is on the card base, not on the collage paper. Also the golden pigment droplets are on the collage paper and the stamped stars are colored with the same golden color. For stamping those I used the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set.

Here is one more bonus card, for which I just added some stenciling with the Ornament 1 stencil as a background and arranged some collage paper trees on top. I had some left over and didn´t want them to go to waste.

Have fun creating some of your own!!

Clean and simple Christmas bauble cards with Distress Oxide Inks

Leave a comment

Hello, I am up over at the Rubber Dance blog today with a clean and simple card idea. I used the Ornament 1 stencil and the Kartengrüße stamp set to make these cards.

I started by inking a piece of white cardstock with “kitsch flamingo” Distress Oxide ink. next I placed the Ornament 1 stencil on top of the inked paper and applied a darker red tone, “candied apple”, thru the stencil onto paper.

After that I die cut the paper into two different sized circles. I then inked the edges with the darker red toned ink and added some golden dots with a water brush onto them.

Then I just drew some strings for the baubles to hang onto the card base and adhered the circles on place. After that I stamped a sentiment with black ink onto the cards using the Kartengrüße stamp set.

I also added some golden droplets to the card bases for additional interest in the end just for fun. Here are the finished cards:

I hope you enjoy this card idea and make some Christmas bauble cards yourself.
Happy crafting,

Stenciled Xmas cards – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

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.

Here is the video step-by-step:

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

Xmas cards with collage paper

Leave a comment

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

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!

Masked card background with Rubber Dance products and Distress Oxide Inks

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my time to share a project over at Rubber Dance today. I am up with a masked card background idea and step-by-step tutorial. I used the new Sketchy Leaves 7 and Collage Leaves 3 for this card project.

I had a pile of previously made collage papers and I chose one of those as my starting point. The Sketchy Leaves 7 stencil pack has these lovely leaf masks in it and I wanted to use them to create some more depth to the background paper.

I started by placing the masks onto the paper and dabbing Distress Oxide Ink aged mahogany ink over them. After finishing this step, I removed the masks and added some water droplets to the paper. This lifted some of the ink off and created more interest. I also wanted the leaf patterns to stand out more from the background, so I outlined them with a black pen.

After finishing this step, I added droplets of golden pigment to the paper for additional shine. Then I just adhered the paper to a card base, added a collage fodder butterfly as a focal point. Next I stamped some sentiments to the leftover collage paper I had started the process with with black ink. This way I have the same colors going on the sentiments as well as the masked leaf patterns.

Here is a video step-by-step for more insight:

I hope you enjoy the inspiration and play a little! Have fun!

A set of mixed media cards with a process video

Leave a comment

Hello, I have a mixed media card set share for you today. For these cards I used the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil, Sketchy Flowers #3, Mix It Up 5 and Butterflies and Moths stamps.

I started off by applying modeling paste thru the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil directly onto the card base. After that I used ocker and light green paints to add the first layer of paint to the card. I then wiped some of the paint off the stenciled areas with a baby wipe.

Next I added black stamping with the Mix It Up 5 stamp set. First onto the stenciled leaves, then slightly next to it. After that I added golden pigment splatters to the background. For finishing touches I added a stamped butterfly and sentiment.

Here is a process video for you to watch:

I hope to have inspired you with this card set tutorial! Have fun creating! Hop over to Rubber Dance store and purchase a stamp set of a stencil. It will support a small business to survive these crazy tax times!

Turn ink residue on a stencil into a fun card background!

Leave a comment

Hello, I am up with a card project over at Rubber Dance blog today again. For this card I used the Leaves 2 stencil and Autumn Leaves and Mix It Up 7 stamp sets. I got this idea while creating the “Hello Fall” art journal page. I was left with a stencil that had ink residue on both sides of it. I didn´t want to waste the ink, so I used it for this card background.

I like the soft look of it. Remember, the Distress Inks I used were ripe persimmon, forest moss, peeled paint and mustard seed. Those are quite strong colors on their own. But the “second image” of them turned out very soft.

I again added some golden pigments onto the surface. Then stamped the brown image with Distress Oxide walnut stain tone for contrast. I had some watercolor style stamped Autumn Leaves left, so I created a focal point with them and a paper sunflower. A handwritten word added for sentiment and the card was done in no time.

Here is the full step-by-step for you to watch. Enjoy!

I hope you get inspired to play a little with Rubber Dance stencils!
Happy creating!

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,
