Full Deck Challenge 33/2025 – song lyrics

Leave a comment

Hello, this is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 33/2025 – song lyrics.

I started by taking a gelli printed paper (used this Rubber Dance stamp for it) and wrote some lines from Derik Fein´s “Sun” onto paper with my old typewriter.

I then adhered the paper onto the lightly sanded playing card and added a carry-over-item from my previous deck card to it: a piece of old book paper. Next to that I adhered a piece of collage paper gifted to me by Yuna from Australia. After that I added my constant – the date stamp – onto the book paper part. I didn´t want to cover all the song lyrics, therefore I kept the background simple and just added some collage fodder and a sentiment on top this time. The collage fodder is made with this Rubber Dance stamp and this stencil. The sentiment was done using this stamp set. You can see how I go about creating these collage pieces, if you watch my Rubber Dance playlist on YouTube :).

See you next week with another FDC take! Until then, happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 32/2025 – bird

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 32/2025 – bird.

I used a piece of book paper as my carry over item from my last deck card. Rest of the papers are again collage papers gifted to me by Yuna from Australia. On top I added some stamping with aged mahogany Distress Oxide Ink and a black ink and used Rubber Dance stamps (Textured Birds 2 and Mix It Up 7 stamp sets).

My constant is the date stamp and I again used some Gloss Spray drops (Sand) on the background, then added a piece of white gard under the fussy cut and colored bird. I added it for texture. On top of it all are again some words stamped with a Rubber Dance stamp set (Mix A Sentiment 2023). That´s it for this time. Here is the video for you to watch:

Happy creating! See you next week with another take!

Full Deck Challenge 31/2025 – rainbow

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Friday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge numbere 31/2025: rainbow.

I used an old book paper on the background with some green collage papers (gifted by Yuna to me) as my carry-over-item from my previous deck card. On top of those I added some Neocolor II crayon in yellow.

After that I took some Heidi Swapp stickers and added sticker rainbows to the background. On top of that there are white and medieval Gloss Spray drops. I then wanted to add a bigger centerpiece and looked for a while. Then I remembered that I had drawn collage fodder for the 100 day challenge last year and looked there. And sure enough, found a hand drawn rainbow.

So I added that on to the deck card. In the process I covered a few star stickers, but I am happier with the result this way. For finishing touches I again added a sentiment. This time a sticker one from the same Heidi Swapp sticker sheet. I attached it onto white cardtock and then adhered on place. Makes it stand out more from the background that way. And I was done. Here is the process video:

See you again next week with another take!

ART JOURNALING, MIXED MEDIA, RUBBER DANCE ART STAMPS, TUTORIALS

My soul is painted – Art journal page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s Sanna here today with a art journal process video. For this page I used the Stacked Ovals, Mini Marks 1 and Organic 2 stencils as well as Mix It Up 7, Round In Circles and Butterflies and Moths stamps.

I used plenty of Distress Oxide Inks on the background. First I inked the backround with “mustard seed”, then added “faded jeans” and “peacock feathers” thru the Stacked Ovals stencil. On top of that I applied some Marabu Metallic Liner thru the Mini Marks 1 stencil. I used the same stencil on a different area with Faber Castell Texture Gems media. When these layers were dry, I applied some “salvaged patina” with a blending tool onto the page.

Then I placed the Organic 2 stencil onto the page and applied “iced spruce” thru the stencil onto the background. After that I stamped some faces (Mix It Up 7 stamp set) with “abandoned coral” onto the background. Then using the same stamp set I added some black stamping on top. After that I added white Gloss Spray droplets all over the page.

I had some previously made gelli printed collage papers (made with Round in Circles stamp set) which I cut into circles and adhered them onto the page. Next to the circles, I adhered collage fodder made with Butterflies and Moths stamp set. I finished the page off with typewrite typed song lyrics.

I hope you liked watching the process and got inspired to create in your own journal. Happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 30/2025 – doodles

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! This is my take on the 30th ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 2025. The theme was “doodles”.

I again used collage papers on the background (a gift from Yuna in Australia). In addition a DIY vintage ticket strip (as a carry-over-item from my previous deck card) and some Dina Wakley gloss spray in light purple.

My constant is a date stamp and on top of everything I added some doodled collage fodder elements (leaf and bug). I made those last year for the 100 day challenge. I also always add some stamped words (stamp by Rubber Dance). And here is the video:

Come back next week for another take and share! Until then, happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 29/2025 – photo

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 29: photo.

I used some vintage looking collage papers again (gifted to me by Yuna from Australia). In addition I added a strip of the black and white flower paper – a carry-over-item from my last deck card.

The DIY vintage ticket is done with Rubber Dance stamps and Distress Inks. I added a date stamp (my constant) to it. The photo is a vintage one of Ava Gardner and I attached it onto the card with a stapler. The words are stamped with a Rubber Dance stamp. And here is the video:

Today´s deck card is a pretty simple one. I didn´t want to add much and instead highlight the photo more. See you next week with another one!

MIXED MEDIA, RUBBER DANCE ART STAMPS, TAGS, TUTORIALS

Mixed media tags with Distress Oxide Inks and Rubber Dance stamps and stencils

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn to share an inspirational project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with a stenciled and stamped tag set this time. For these tags I´ve used some gelli printed DIY collage paper at the background and then added plenty of layers with Carved Collection 6 and Mix It Up 7 stamp sets as well as the Mini Marks 1 stencil.

I started with a gelli printed DIY collage paper that I created with the Round in Circles stamp set and a gelli plate. I adhered the paper onto a tag base and went from there, starting with the Mini Marks 1 stencil and “faded jeans” as well as “walnut stain” Distress Oxide Inks. Next I grabbed the Mix It Up 7 stamp set and stamped some numbers with “aged mahagony” stamp ink.

After that I stamped with the Carved Collection 6 a flower as my focal point and inked it with “cracked pistachio” and “fossilized amber”. I then went on and added some decor to the flowers with Posca pens and a Signo uni-ball white gel pen. After finishing the flowers, I added some more stamping to the tag backgrounds. This time with black ink. I used both the Carved Collection 6 as well as the Mix It Up 7 stamp sets here again.

Next I added some white Gloss Spray splatters for contrast and adhered the flowers on place using 3D-foam squares. I also drew some white gel pen patterns using the Stacked Ovals stencil for additional interest. Then I chose a sticker sentiment, added some rhinestones for decor and the tags were done. Here is a start-to-finish video on the steps:

Hope you get inspired to craft a little!

Full Deck Challenge 28/2025 – black

Leave a comment

Hello, here is my take on the 28th ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge. The theme was “black”.

I used a light pink paper strip (very right) as my carry over item from the previous deck card. The sticker alphas on that strip are also from the same set like the numbers in my previous card. So also carry over things :).

I then added a black and white paper with flowers and a plain black paper to the backgroun. My constant is a date stamp. On top I drew some ovals with a white gel pen using the Rubber Dance Stacked Ovals stencil as a drawing guide. On top of that I as butterfly (Rubber Dance Butterflies and Moths) stamped onto a book page. For decor I added some rhinestones and Rubber Dance Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamped words.

Here is the start-to-finish video:

Watercolor style stamped collage fodder card with Distress Inks – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn to share another creative project over at the Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with a simple, but fun to make card idea. I used Autumn Leaves and Mini Marks 1 for this card project with plenty of Distress Ink tones.

I started the card project by playing with Distress Inks and the Autumn Leaves stamp set. I wanted to create “watercolor styled” collage fodder with the leaves. So I stamped with various fall toned Distress Inks onto the stamp images, misted them lightly and stamped onto a mixed media paper.

After fussy cutting the images, I took the “Mini Marks 1” stencil, places it onto a card base and added two tones of Distress Ink with a blending brush thru it onto the background. Next I just needed to adhere a row of leaves on top of the stenciled pattern as a focal point and add a sticker sentiment (or use the Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set to make a sentiment) and some rhinestones for decor. The card itself was done in no time, it´s the fodder creating that takes some time. Thus, I suggest, when you start, make plenty at once.

Here are the videos on how to make the collage fodder and about the card process. Hope you get inspired!

I know it´s still summer, but for those, who cannot wait for fall to come. Here is some fall themed card inspiration. Happy crafting!

50th birthday card

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! This time I´m sharing a birthday card I created for my work colleague. She turned 50 a while back and I needed a special card for her. It´s also bigger in size, than my usual cards (approximately A5).

I used Rubber Dance stamps on the background stamping with plenty of patterned paper strips in rainbow colors. On top of that I have a Tim Holtz paper doll, holding a lollipop and onto that I added the chipboard number “0”. Next to it the “5”.

So it gives the impression she is holding a 50 sign in her hand. In addition to that I added a somewhat snarky sentiment that says: “50 is no reason to get (or feel) old, all the best for your birthday”.

I also added Gloss Spray splatter in white and green. It´s a colorful and happy card and I find it very suitable for the recipient. I do hope she likes it!

Happy crafting,
