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.
Hello! I have a card share today. It´s a card I made for a family member´s confirmation day celebration.
I used a Sizzix embossing folder on the background with white cardstock and then added some yellow Distress Ink with a blending brush on top. After that I added a layer of Glimmer Mist droplets in yellow.
The white dots on top right corner are Nuvo Drops. The sentiment is written with my old typewriter.
The cross is a very old Sizzix die cut die. Die cut with white cardstock and has a layer of Stickles on top. I hope the recipient loved her card.
Hello everyone, I am up over at the Rubber Dance blog today again. This time with a really simple, but awesome, stenciled Easter card tutorial. You will need the Big Ovals stencil (one of my faves!), two tones of blue Distress Inks, a brown spray ink of some sort, washi tape and a white card base.
This was the kind of idea that when it hit me, I just immediately had to run to my craft room and try it out. And it worked out so great! I have this simple stenciled egg background for my Easter card and it is so easy to make.
First you need a slimline card base in white. Next take two tones of blue Distress Inks (I used tumbled glass and broken china). Start by adhering the card base with washi tape onto your working surface, next adhere the stencil on top and cover all unnecessary circle areas with washi too.
Now apply the lighter blue tone with a blending brush, then go over the lower circle areas with a darker blue tone. After that leave the stencil as is and splatter brown spray ink thru the stencil. Let shortly dry and carefully remove the stencil and the washi tape. Decorate with a “Happy Easter” sentiment, created with golden glitter alpha stickers. How´s that for a fast and easy-to-do Easter card idea with “Robins eggs!? Here is a video for you to watch – hope you like this idea.
You could also make yellow, light pink or light brown eggs. Whatever colors you prefer. I am going to make a few more in different colors for sure.
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! xxx, Sanna
Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge” number 12: “holes and drippy paint”.
I love how this turned out! I started off with collage papers gifted to me by Yuna. Then I added some Dina Wakley heavy body paint in light pink into the open areas. On top of that I added some small bits of gelli printed paper leftover to which I made holes with my Drop-A-Dile.
After adhering the papers with holes onto the background, I added Gloss Spray (in pink and blue) drippings. Next I added my constant (the date stamp) and after that I decorated the deck card with some Rubber Dance fodder and hand drawn flowers. The leaves are from the set “Pencil Marks 8” and the flowers are from my last years “the100daychallenge” project. For finishing touches I added again some stamped words (Rubber Dance stamp). I love how this deck card turned out!!!
Here is the video for you to watch:
See you next week with another deck challenge take! Happy crafting, xxx, Sanna
Hello, it´s my turn to share a project over at the Rubber Dance blog and I am up with a fodder bouquet card set. I have made piles and piles of fodder and gelli prints recently and what for? For projects like this. I used the Mix It Up 5, Mixed Sentiments 1, Pencil Marks 8 and the Doodle Flowers 2 stamp set with the Wheels stencil on this project.
I love making leaf and flower fodder. Creating random colored backgrounds and stamping onto them and only when fussy cutting the images, to discover the beauty of every single piece on it´s own, is something very exciting.
So for these cards I used some recently made flower and butterfly fodder as well as gelli printed backgrounds. Have you tried making some yourself? It is a very inspiring process, so I truly recommend, you try it out.
Here is a video on how I built the cards together:
And I´ve prepared 2 different short videos on some fodder making, just for fun:
I hope you enjoy this card idea and the videos and that they inspire you to play with Rubber Dance products!! Have fun! xxx, Sanna
Hello there! I am a bit late posting this, as I was quite under the weather the past week or so. But better late than never, here is my take on the FDC challenge number 9 “pink with black splatter”.
For this one I gathered all kinds of paper bits and bobs (also vintage ones) and wripped them in smaller pieces to create the background collage.
On top of that I added my constant: a date stamp. And I again used washi tape as my continous – but different colors here. I hope you enjoy the start-to-finish video:
For finishing touches I added some older ephemera, a stamped and colored Rubber Dance flower and sentiment and some Stickles for sparkle. The black splatters are done with Neocolor II black and plenty of water.
I started by applying heavy body paint in “olive” with a palette knife onto the background. On top of that I used a foam brush to dab “sand” and “apricot” tones thru Big Ovals and Dotted 1 stencils. After that I outlined some of the dabbed paint “circles” with a black pen. Next I took a piece of a old dictionary book and wripped and glued strips of paper onto the background.
Next I wiped some “aloe” tone with my fingers onto the wripped dictionary page pieces to blend them into the background. I then added a layer of “tangelo” with a palette knife onto the page. Next I took the Cross It stencil out and added some white paint thru it onto the orange areas for contrast.
After that I took a black with glimmer mist misted tag out and again dabbed the “lemon” paint onto the tag thru the Wheels stencil. After that I put some “lime” toned paint onto the palette knife and wiped some of it onto the tag. The next layer was done using “stoked” tone and the Marks 2 stencil. I then added the last bits of “turquoise” paint with a palette knife thru the Stars 1 stencil onto the tag.
I sprinkled some Gloss Spray in “turquoise” for interest onto the art journal page. I then glued the stenclied black tag onto the art journal page. After that I added a misted doilie for decoration and created a cluster of leaves with “Doodle Flowers 2″ leaves next to it. There is a video at the end of this post on how I created the leaves.
I finished the page with a paper doll by Tim Holtz and some black and white alphabet stickers. Here is the start-to-finish video for further information:
And this is the video on how I made the leaves fodder:
I hope I could inspire you today. Happy creating! Sanna
Happy Wednesday! Here is another card share, again created using Rubber Dance stamps. For this one I used the Butterflies and Moths fodder and the Mix It Up 4 stamp set.
I stamped the background pattern with Iced Spruce Distress Oxide ink and the Mix It Up 4 stamp set repeatedly. After that I grabbed the butterfly fodder I had previously created using a gelli printed paper and with black ink stamped and fussy cut butterflies.
You can find the how-to reel for the butterfly fodder on my Instagram under reels.
I adhered the butterflies directly onto the stamped card base, then added a Tim Holtz label sentiment and some Dina Wakley Gloss Spray droplets to the butterfly wings.
Hope this card gives you some spring “feelz”!!! Happy crafting, xxx, Sanna
Hello, it´s my turn again over at the Rubber Dance blog today and I am up sharing another take on residue gelli prints turned into card focal points. Like on my last post, I created another set of die cut focal points out of residue gelli printing papers. This time using different color combinations and stenciling the card backgrounds, instead of stamping.
I first die cut the residue gelli printing paper with die cut dies into different forms and sizes (banners, circles and squares). I then added some stamping with black stamp ink and some heat embossed details with red embossing ink and the Pencil Marks 8 stamp set.
After that I took the Ornament 1 stencil and added brown Distress Oxide Ink thru it onto the die cut pieces. Then I took the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and added some stamping with blue StazOn ink here and there onto the background.
Next I took out some premade Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil fodder and adhered them onto the die cut pieces. On top of those I added some yarn and a fodder butterfly, created with a gel plate and Butterflies and Moths stamp set.
I also wanted to add a stamped word onto the focal point elements and took out the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp set. I just used one word from each sentiment, instead of the whole quote.
Instead of adding a stamped background, I chose to stencil Distress Oxide Inks thru the Ornament 1, Dotted 1 and Organic 4 stencils onto the card bases and then adhered the die cut pieces with fodder onto the cards.
I also wanted to add a stamped sentiment to every card, so I used an older German birthday sentiment stamp set from my own stash for stamping them.
After finishing the cards, I added some Gloss Spray droplets to the butterflies wings here and there for additional color and interest.
Here is a video on how I created the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil fodder that I used on some of the focal point elements:
And here is a short video on the focal point elements and how I put the cards together:
I hope I could inspire you to play with your Rubber Dance stamps and stencils and create colorful cards.
