Full Deck Challenge 15/2025 – stack it up!

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is another share from my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”. This weeks theme is: “Stack it up!”.

I used layers over layers (as much as I could). Starting with gelli printed leftover paper bits, then adding some texture paste treated paper bits on top. Then some washi tapes. After that some fabric tape bits. Next some pink Posca pen marks and turqouoise Gloss Spray splatter. After that a collage fodder leaf (Rubber Dance) and some hand drawn ephemera (hearts and crosses). In between some yarn and on top some stamped words. I love how this one turned out. The happy colors on top of each other. Pure joy!

The hand drawn bits are from last years 100 day challenge. I am so glad I can incorporate those bits on this challenge. And now to the video:

Hope you liked it and got inspired! See you next week with another one.

Happy crafting,

Set of stamped ATCs – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, I am again up over at Rubber Dance blog with another project share. This time I have a set of stamped Artist Trading Cards with a video tutorial for your inspiration. For this set I used a gelli printed background paper, where I used the Marks 2 and Organic 3 stencils with acrylic paints to create the paper. The following layers were done using Pencil Marks 8 and Mix It Up 4 stamp sets and the Stars 1 stencil.

I started by stamping first with Mix It Up 4 stamp set and brown and grey shadow inks onto the paper. Next I stamped some circles with Pencil Marks 8 stamp set and applied Distress embossing glaze (weathered wood) with a heat tool on top.

Next I grabbed the scallop border stamp from the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and stamped with black ink onto the paper. After that I took some pre-made paper that had stenciled glitter paste on it (thru Stars 1 stencil). I wripped some stars from the paper and adhered them randomly onto the background. Next I decorated the ATC´s with leaf collage fodder (see the reel for that here), some yarn and a wooden button. For finishing touches I added some black pen outlining, some white Posca dots and a stamped and fussy cut sentiment from the Mix a Sentiment 2023 stamp set.

Here is a start-to-finish video for you to watch. Hope you enjoy it!

See you again soon with another inspirational project. Happy crafting!

Full Deck Challenge 11/2025 – black & white, stenciling and one bold color

Leave a comment

Hello there, here is my take on the FDC number 11/2025. It was about black and white and some stenciling, plus one bold/strong color.

I think this was my favorite so far to make. I used black and white washi tapes with an Artist Almanac page (also black and white colored), added some white texture paste thru a Rubber Dance stencil on top and then my continous, the date stamp.

On top of that I added a Rubber Dance leaf collage fodder element in turquoise and a sticker sentiment. I love how this turned out. Here is the start-to-finish video – hope you enjoy it:

and here is a video on how I created the collage fodder:

Full Deck Challenge 2025/9 – pink with black splatter

Leave a comment

Hello there! I am a bit late posting this, as I was quite under the weather the past week or so. But better late than never, here is my take on the FDC challenge number 9 “pink with black splatter”.

For this one I gathered all kinds of paper bits and bobs (also vintage ones) and wripped them in smaller pieces to create the background collage.

On top of that I added my constant: a date stamp. And I again used washi tape as my continous – but different colors here. I hope you enjoy the start-to-finish video:

For finishing touches I added some older ephemera, a stamped and colored Rubber Dance flower and sentiment and some Stickles for sparkle. The black splatters are done with Neocolor II black and plenty of water.

See you soon with the next take!

Full Deck Challenge 2025 / 7 (dark blue)

Leave a comment

Hello, here is my take 7 for the “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, called to life by ShanoukiArt. This time it´s about “be free” and “dark blue”.

I used mainly paper gifted to me by Yuna again on this one. The label sticker ist a continuous from my last deck card, as well as the stamped word (Rubber Dance stamp).

My constant is a date stamp and I again added washi tape, some 49andMarket fabric tape and some hand drawn stars from my last year´s 100 day challenge. The hearts and the enamel dots are from my old stash. I colored the hearts with a marker dark blue. Here is the process video:

I hope to have inspired you with this one. I love the blue tones here so, so much. See you next week with the next deck card. Happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 2025 / 6 – light blue

Leave a comment

Hello, here is my take on the 6th Full Deck Challenge with the theme: light blue.

I think this is my personal favorite so far. I love the color. I found a Artist Almanac 2023 page that had lots of light blue on it. To it I again added bits from Yuna´s collage papers that she gifted me. The label sticker is the same, like on my previous deck card.

My constant, again, is a date stamp. To that I added some light blue washi tape, some fodder I drew last year for the 100 day challenge (flowers and cloud). For finishing touches I used a paper doll by Tim Holtz and a stamped word (Rubber Dance stamps).

Here is the video:

See you next week with another deck card share!

Full Deck Challenge 2025 / 5 (dark green)

Leave a comment

Hello, here is my next deck card share for the 2025 Full Deck Challenge. This time the theme is “dark green”.

I used a paper gifted by Yuna on the background, as well as a gelli printed paper (I used Rubber Dance stamps for that). In addition I used my constant (a date stamp) and some old Sassafras alphabet stickers. The label sticker is something I took from previous deck into this one.

Then I added a stamped word (Rubber Dance stamps) and a word sticker, some yarn and two fodder pieces that originate from my last year´s 100 day challenge. I fiinished the background with a Edding glitter brush pen in green.

Here is the video for you to watch:

I am enjoying this challenge very much! Not too much pressure, as it´s only one a week.

Happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 2025 – 3 “yellow”

Leave a comment

Hello! I decided to join the 2025 Full Deck Challenge. It´s been called to life by ShanoukiArt and this years theme is a collage on a deck of playing cards (or similar). A deck card a week with a different “theme”.

Here are some “rules”: one should do a continuous thing, like for example adding postal stamps (like she does) to every deck card to have something on them that binds them together. I choose to add a date stamp on every deck card. In addition one should take a bit of something from the previously done deck card material and use that on the next one too.

There is a Facebook group (look for Full Deck Challenge Group) to join for sharing one´s creations and also her YouTube channel to the weekly challenge.

It sounded so much fun that I decided to join. At least I´ll try. Here is my take for deck card 3 with the theme “YELLOW”:

Yellow is one of my favorite colors! I used the yellow parts from the gelli printed paper I used on the previous deck cards, then added again some paper bits gifted me by Yuna again. Some yellow washi tape, some Dina Wakley heavy body paint in yellow and velvet ribbon, a chipboard piece, a date stamp and a stamped butterfly (like on the previous deck card). And some glitter glue. Oh, and the Rubber Dance stamp stamped word again, too.

and here is the video:

So far I am really enjoying this! Happy crafting!

I used gelli print paper on the background (created with Rubber Dance stencil). Also I added some washi tape, a bird ephemera, some ribbon, old rub-ons, a number from my last years 100 day challenge, a Rubber Dance stamp word and finally, some papers gifted me by Yuna from Australia.

And here is a short video of the process. In the end of the video there is a link to ShanoukiArt´s original video, just in case you want to join too.

Wishing you all a wonderful day & happy crafting!

RUBBER DANCE ART STAMPS, TAGS

Mixed media tag set – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, I am up over at Rubber Dance blog today with a tag set featuring gelli printed fodder elements. For these tags I used the Butterflies and Moths, Mix A Sentiment 2023 and Loose Florals 2024 stamp sets.

Here is how I created the tags:

I first started by stamping brown Distress Oxide Ink with the Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set onto the kraft tags. Next I took black stamp ink and the leaves from the Loose Florals 2024 stamp set and stamped black leaf images onto the tags.

Then I colored the leaf images with glitter brush pens and added some gelli printed strips to the bottom of the tags with some old book page pieces. For the gelli print piece I used the same Loose Florals 2024 stamp set.

After that I added some white gel pen circles to the background for interest and adhered some butterfly fodder and ribbon to the tags.

For finishing touches I added some liquid pearls to the butterflies and attached sticker sentiments to each tag.

Here is also a quick step-by-step to how the butterfly fodder was done:

First create a colorful gelli print. I used three tones of paint and “drew” random scribbles to the paint. Next I stamped “Butterflies and Moths 2024” with black stamp ink onto the gelli print. After that I fussy cut all the images. This way I have plenty of fodder ready for my next projects.

Creating the fodder and tags was so much fun. I hope you give it a try! While at it, make sure to try out different color combinations and patterns. This way you have plenty of material to work with for future projects.

Happy crafting,
Sanna
