Full Deck Challenge 27/2025 – numbers

Leave a comment

Hello everyone and happy Thursday! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 27: “numbers”.

The paper on the very left is my carry-over-item from the previous deck card. The other papers are from my stash. On top I added my constant; a date stamp. For numbers I used number stickers in black an as my focal point I added a bold chipboard “7” in the middle.

On top of the 7 there is a Tim Holtz paper doll sitting with wings. The wings are from a Rubber Dance butterfly stamp. And here is the process video:

See you again next week with another deck card take. Happy crafting,

Cards with fodder clusters and oval backgrounds – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I love the Rubber Dance ovals stencil line! So I played around with them (Big Ovals and Stacked Ovals) and created fun oval background cards with a big collage fodder cluster as a focal point.

For the bright colored card I used a gelli print created earlier this year. It creates a beautiful, happy and bright backdrop for the cluster of flowers, leaves and butterflies. I also added some rhinstones and a fussy cut sentiment to the card for finishing touches.

I always create collage fodder in bulk, so that I have plenty of options to add to my cards and other projects along the way. The tutorials to these fodder pieces can be found here, here and here.

For the second card in more muted colors. I used the new Stacked Ovals stencil directly on the background with “scattered straw” Distress Ink.

I again attached the stencil to the card and my working surface with washi tape. You can also use painters tape. This way the stencil will stay put while applying ink. I like washi, because it´s very easy and safe to remove afterwords – nothing tears while removing it.

For this cluster I again used collage fodder I had previously made in bulk. Except for the old book paper circle. That I created using the Butterflies and Moths stamp set and black ink just for this card. It adds a nice vintage feel to the cluster.

I really like using stencils on my cards. They can add so much to a project. Just imagine these fodder clusters without the backgrounds.

Hope you get inspired!

Full Deck Challenge 26/2025 – wrap

Leave a comment

This is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 2025, number 26: wrap. I again used collage papers on the background, gifted to me by Yuna.

The yellow paper is my carry over item from the previous deck card. My constant is a date stamp and as decor I´ve used a gelli printed and stamped Rubber Dance stencil image. On top of it, a Tim Holtz paper doll and as my wrapping, some twine. The sentiment stamp is again by Rubber Dance.

And here is the video:

Slimline cards with Weed Love stamp set and Distress Inks – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn for a Rubber Dance project share again. I created a set of clean and simple styled cards using the Organic 2 stencil, Distress Oxide Inks and the new Weed Love stamp set.

These are the steps to the finished cards:

I started by placing the stencil onto a white slimline card base. I always use washi tape or painters tape to attach the stencil and to keep it from moving while inking. On this card I used “saltwater taffy” and “kitsch flamingo” and blended them together with a blending brush. On the grey toned card I used “iced spruce ” and “speckled egg” tones.

After that I added Weed Love stamp images using black stamp ink onto the card base.

Then I added some glitter glue onto the stamped “weeds” for texture and detail. I used Nuvo “Sherbert Shimmer” for the pink card and Stickles “Star Dust” for the grey toned card.

For stamping the sentence I used the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp set and stamped a word a line in a vertical manner. On the photo you can see how I covered the rest of the sentiment with washi tape to get a clean stamping result of the single word each time.

For a more “artsy” finish, I added some Gloss Spray splatters in a matching tone to the rest of the card (Blushing and Aloe). If you prefer a cleaner look, you can leave this step out.

I really like how the Organic 2 stencil creates such an elegant backdrop for the Weed Love images. I hope I could inspire you with this card idea. Have fun stenciling!

Full Deck Challenge 25/2025 – 2 favourite colours

Leave a comment

Hello! Here is my take on the Full Deck Challenge number 25/2025: two favourite colours. I used yellows and greens which happen to be my fave colours.

I used patterned papers on the background (from my older stash). Then added some washi tapes in the same colours on top. I also sneaked in a tiny blue paper stripe (a carry over item from my last deck card).

After that I added some Rubber Dance stamp images with black ink and my constant, a date stamp. I chose a green butterfly as a focal point (also Rubber Dance stamps) and finished everything with yellow and green Gloss Spray droplets and a stamped sentiment.

Bold card backgrounds with Distress Inks and Rubber Dance stamps

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my time to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog again. This time with a photo step-by-step card tutorial. For this one I used the brand new Carved Collection 6 stamp set with Distress Inks and black stamp ink.

And here is how I created the colorful background:

My starting point was a piece of white cardstock, the Carved Collection 6 stamp set and pink, yellow and orange toned Distress Inks. You also need an acrylic block and a water spray bottle.

I took all 4 triangle stamp images from the set and chose a color for each (mustard seed, picked raspberry, spiced marmalade and kitsch flamingo). I inked the image with the chosen stamp ink and lightly sprayed the surface with water mist (for a watercolor type of style). I repeated this step throughout the whole paper, changing color and image in a repetitive way, until the paper was full.

This is what the finished first layer looked like. I left some white space between the images, so each image would stand out better.

Then I took a black stamp ink and a leaf branch from the same set and repeatedly stamped with it on top of the first layer. I then fussy cut the image into two same sized pieces, drew along the edges with a black marker and adhered the background to a white card base. Next I added a Tim Holtz chipboard sentiment and some silver rhinestones onto the cards and they were done.

It is so much fun to create DIY card background “papers” with a stamp set like this! I hope you give it a try!
Happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 24/2025 – thread

Leave a comment

Hello! This is my take on the 24th Full Deck Challenge 2025: thread. I again used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna on the background.

On top of those I added my constant – a date stamp. After that I added three different tones of thread in a cluster and a Rubber Dance stamps mushroom on top.

I used my stapler as a carry over item from the last deck card and added a sentiment. It took me ages to find the right one, so bear with me on that during the video..

80th birthday card

Leave a comment

Hello! Today I am sharing a custom card I was asked to create for a special 80th birthday. The person happens to love yellow, thus the color choice. And as I am a big fan of yellow too, this was a fun one to make.

I used a polka dotted paper on the background. Adhered to a light yellow cardstock (size A5). On top of that paper I added a die cut border (Tonic Studios die) and on top of that another die cut paper (again Tonic Studios dies) with some daffodils on it.

Then a cluster of yellow toned paper flowers and some rhinestone bits here and there (all from my older stash). Some Pink Paislee Artisan Elements peeking thru under the focal piece. And in the middle, a golden alpha “80” plus a Create A Smile stamp sentiment in German.

I loved creating this card and digging older product together from my stash. And it all worked out together so well!

Thanks for stopping by! Happy crafting,
