Full Deck Challenge 52/2025 – animal print

Hello! So this is it! I´ve finished the 2025 ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge with this deck card. The theme was “animal print”.

I interpreted the theme very loosely. See, the paper ribbon I used as a background paper, has animals on it and it is printed. Sooo…very loosely, it´s “animal print”. Ducks on paper, how cute is that?!

On top some Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays and my constant, a date stamp. My focal point is a big birdie, adding to the bird theme there. The stamped words are from a Rubber Dance stamp set. For finishing touches I added some hand drawn white circles. Drawn on the same blue paper I used on my previous deck card for the hearts. So also ticked off the carry over theme there, too.

Here is the final process video:

And this has been a fun year with the deck cards. I really enjoyed making them. The recording of the videos also did not get too stressfull, because it´s only one a week. There will, I think, be a new deck card challenge for 2026. Thinking if I should join again. Are you going to join?

Happy crafting and a fabulous end of 2025 and all the best for 2026!!!

Full Deck Challenge 51/2025 – queen of hearts

Hello! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt 2025 Full Deck Challenge number 51: queen of hearts.

On the background I again used the collage papers gifted to me by Yuna. Also my carry over item from the previous deck card. I combined them with old book papers I had stamped with Rubber Dance butterflies.

Next I added my constant – a date stamp. My queeon of hearts is a vintage image in a nice red dress. I added some hand drawn and fussy cut blue hearts around her -> queen of hearts.

Here is the process video:

Come back for the last deck card in a few days! Happy crafting!

Full Deck Challenge 50/2025 – wonky house

Hello! This is my take on the 2025 ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 50: wonky house.

On the background I´ve again used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna. On top some Neocolor II crayon and Dina Wakley Gloss Spray in white. The bottom paper is stenciled with a Rubber Dance stencil and modeling paste.

I hand drew the wonky house and fussy cut it. The title was a coincidence, because one of Yuna´s collage papers had it written on it. So I fussy cut that and used it as my title.

Here is the process video:

This was the hardest one for more of the deck challenges. I just could not figure out what to do with “wonky house”. So this is all I came up with.
Come back for the next one in a few days!

Hello! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt 2025 Full Deck Challenge number 49: mosaic.

“Note to self” Art Journal Page process – Rubber Dance

Hello, it´s my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with an art journal page share. For this page I used the Ornament 1 and Mini Textures 1 stencils. For stamping I used Doodle Flowers 2, Collage Leaves 3 and A to Z stamp sets. I wanted to create an inspirational page and this is what I came up with:

My starting point was the inked Ornament 1 stencil which I sprayed with water mist and then pressed onto the journal page. Next I blended two tones of pink Distress Oxide Ink around the edges and white areas. After that I took the darker pink tone and stamped some leaf patterns onto the inked area, followed with light grey stamping.

I had a green toned collage paper ready and stamped with Collage Leaves 3 stamp set and black ink some leaves onto it. After that I fussy cut them and was ready to adhere them to my journal page. On top of the leaves I added a few Doodle Flowers 2 collage fodder images that I had previously made.

Then I decorated with leaves with golden pigment details. Next I stamped some inspirational words into the middle with the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set. For finishing touches I added a hand stamped title using the rest of my collage paper and the A to Z stamp set.

I also recorded a process video for you to watch – hope you enjoy!

Have fun creating!!

Clean and simple collage paper Christmas cards – Rubber Dance

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!!

Hello! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 46: fairy.

For this one I used the butterfly stamped old book paper bits as a carry-over-item. To those I added some gelli printed collage papers in turquoise and some Dina Wakley heavy body paint in turquoise. After that I added my constant – the date stamp.

After that I added some yellow Dina Wakley Gloss Spray and stamped leaves with this Rubber Dance stamp to the background. As a focal point I added a Tim Holtz paper doll and fairy wings from a Rubber Dance stamp set. I added some Stickles for shine to them, too. The sticker words are by Tim Holtz.
