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,

Full Deck Challenge 13/2025 – crazy colors & black mark making

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge” number 13: crazy colors & black mark making.

I started off with gelli printed bits (leftovers) and a piece of collage paper gifted to me by Yuna. I then added black paint with a piece of cardboard packaging material and a foam piece for mark making. Then I added some of my constant (date stamps). I wanted more crazy colors, so I added some Gloss Spray droplets in turquoise and then the hand drawn eyes from my last years “the100daychallenge” with some stamped words (Rubber Dance).

I found this weeks challenge hard, but at the end I am happy about the result. It sure has crazy colors on it!

See you again next week with another deck challenge take!

ARTIST TRADING CARDS, RUBBER DANCE ART STAMPS, TUTORIALS

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 2025 – 8 (purple w/ white splatter)

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! Here is the next Full Deck Challenge share. This time it´s: “purple with white splatter”. And this is my take:

I again used the collage papers gifted to me by Yuna on the background with some added washi tape. On top of that layer I have stamped with purple toned ink and Rubber Dance “Pencil Marks 8” stamp set.

Then I added some hand drawn lavender flowers (from my 100 day challenge from last year) in a cluster with some purple yarn and again a laber sticker and a stamped word “art” (Rubber Dance stamps) and finished the deck card off with my continuous (a date stamp). Here is the process video for you to watch:

Flower canvas

Leave a comment

Hello everyone and happy 2025!!! I am posting this project now to make sure the recipient has received it before this going live.

I painted a rose canvas for a relative for Christmas. She loves flowers, so this hopefully is/was a prefect gift for her.

I used acrylic paints, some Posca pens and a gilding fluid to create this canvas. I have done smaller versions of these flowers into journals before, but this was the first canvas I filled with roses.

Here´s to a good start into 2025 – may it be awesome, joyous, exciting and all kinds of positive to everyone. I wish that from the bottom of my heart!

Happy New Year!

Christmas card with Rubber Dance stencils and stamps and recycled material

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, it´s again my turn to share a project over at the Rubber Dance blog today and I am up with a stenciled Christmas card idea share this time. For this card I used the Xmas Trees 1 stencil and the Mix It Up 5 stamp set with some Distress Oxide ink. I also added some recycled material a a focal point for this card.

Here is how I created this card:

First I took an old map page and placed the Xmas Trees 1 stencil on it. Then I outlined the tree images with a waterproof black pencil onto the map page. Next I took a premade card base and applied some “speckled egg” Distress Oxide Ink onto a stamping block, misted that with water and pressed the ink very randomly onto the card base.

After that I took the Mix It Up 5 stamp set and stamped random text images with the same stamp ink onto the background. After that I fussy cut the “map trees” and adhered them slightly overlappingly onto the card base.

For finishing touches I added a stamped sentiment with “walnut stain” Distress Oxide ink and a sentiment from the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set. I really like how the card turned out with the “map trees” as a focal point.

I hope this stenciling idea inspires you to create fun, stenciled Christmas cards yourself too!

Have fun creating!!

Art journal page with Distress Crayons, stencils and stamps – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s again my turn to share a create project over at Rubber Dance blog today and I´m up with another art journal page share. I made this one inspired by the beautiful watercolor pages Susanne makes, only I used Distress Crayons and stencils on the circles instead of watercolors. The products I used here are Weed Love stamps and Cross It, Marks 2, Marks 3 stencils, Grungy Butterflies and Mix a Sentiment 2023 stamps.

I started by applying various tones of Distress Crayons onto the page in circular motion. After that I misted the areas with a little water spray and then, when still wet, place a stencil over them and using a baby wipe wiped some of the wet crayon away.

After that I added some black details around the circles and stamped with Weed Love some images onto the page. I also added some blue crayon droplets and golden pigments in droplets for additional interest to the page. Next I wrote some asemic writing here and there and finally decorated the page with a Grungy Butterfly and created a sentiment with Mix a Sentiment stamp set.

Here is a start-to-finish video for all the steps:

I hope you get inspired by some of the techniques and/or ideas and grab your art journal and start to create! Have fun!

Slimline birthday card with watercolors and stamps – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s again my turn to share a project over at the Rubber Dance blog today. I created a fun slimline birthday card using watercolors and the Sketchy Flowers stamp set and it turned out very colorful. Here is how I did it:

I first painted “rectangles” with a paint brush and watercolors in rainbow colors onto a slimline card base, let that layer dry and then repeatedly added a black flower stamped image on top onto the whole surface.

Next I painted the flower petals in golden tones and when that layer was dry, I added black watercolor droplets on top of the two layers.

For finishing touches I added some blue details with a blue Posca pen around the edges of the flower petals. After that I just added a chipboard sentiment and the card was done. It´s bold and colorful and still not bulky, so it will be relatively easy to mail.

I hope you get inspired to play with your stamps and watercolors to create funky and bold colored cards.
Happy crafting,

Card set with mixed media cutouts – kreativt_uttrykk

Leave a comment

Hello again! Here is yet another set of card that I created using the mixed media cutouts by kreativt_uttrykk.

What cutouts, you are asking? Go to this INSTA PAGE for awesome inspiration and more details on the cutous and also a link to ther Etsy store. You can buy her cutouts in various sets (in different colours) over HERE (her Etsy-page).

And now to the cards I made:

For this one I used a STAMPlorations stencil with Distress Oxide Ink to create the faded background pattern. On top of that I added the house and “tree” cutout and colored some of the parts with Posca pens. For finishing touches I added a sentiment I typed with my old typewriter.

For the second one I used similar techniques, except I also added a leftover 7DotsStudio paper a “frame” to the house and stenciled background. The rest is again decorated with Posca pens and a typewriter sentiment.

I love the houses on this set, as you might have noticed :).

Mixed Media cutouts 2 – kreativt_uttrykk

Leave a comment

Hello again! Here is yet another project I created using the mixed media cutouts by Åshild Halvorsen. This time it´s an art journal page.

First of all, go to her INSTA PAGE for awesome inspiration and more details on her various social media sites. Also, you can buy her cutouts in various sets (in different colours) over HERE (her Etsy-page).

And here is my art journal page:

I was playing with the cutouts and combined Distress Oxide inks and Rubber Dance stencils with them on this page. I first added some stenciling to the page with “cracked pistachio” and Organic 3 stencil. I love this pattern, by the way!!!

Next I took some “peacock feathers” and the Cross it stencil . On top of that I added the gorgeous blue toned birdies and some of the border images as well as circles. Then I added some asemic writing and colored some parts with a red Posca pen. I love red and blue together. I also outlined some of the crosses and added some doodling to the cutou images or next to them, to be more precise. Then I wrote a quote and fussy cut it into bits and adhered the pieces onto the page. I really like the freshness of this page and the birdies are really very cute!!

I hope I could inspire you to take a look at Åshild´s designs and Rubber Dance stencils :). They make a really nice combination here.

Happy crafting,
