Full Deck Challenge 48/2025 – Dangle

Hello and happy Sunday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 48: dangle.

I used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna on the background again. In addition I took some gelli printed collage papers (done with Cross It stencil by Rubber Dance) and mixed those together. On top some Neocolor II crayon and my constant – a date stamp.

As a focal point I used a Rubber Dance butterfly and some Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops. My dangle is a bell and a pom pom ribbon.

Here is the process video:

See you in a few days with number 49!!
Happy crafting,

“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!!

Clean and simple Christmas bauble cards with Distress Oxide Inks

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

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

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!!!
