STAMPlorations 13th Birthday celebration – DAY 5

2 Comments

Hello and welcome to the DAY 5 of STAMPlorations 13th birthday celebration. Today I have a few more cards to share with you.

For the first card I used following NEW PRODUCT: Floral Parade Ephemera Cut-Outs and Floral Magic Clear Stickers. The background paper is from my own stash.

I stared by wripping the floral background paper quite randomly and adhering it to the card base. That way I had some white space left to adhere the Floral Magic clear sticker to the white space underneath. I then fussy cut and adhered the Floral Parade Ephemera Cut-Out on place and added some outlining with a black marker.

For the second card I used a dark green patterned paper as my background (own stash). And added some NEW STAMPlorations product to it: The Nostalgia #1 Ephemera Cut-Outs and the Nostalgic #1 clear stickers.

I first cut the dark green paper into size, then adhered it on place. After that I fussy cut and adhered the Nostalgia #1 Ephemera Cut-Out as a centerpiece. I then adhered the Nostalgic #1 clear sticker onto white cardstock, then cut that into size and adhered it onto the card base. I then decorated the card with a few enamel elements (arrow and hearts) and added faux stitching around the edges with a white gel pen.

For the last card of the day I use following NEW PRODUCT: Old Letters Pocket Backdrops, Flowers and Coffee Focal Fronts, All Things Coffee Ephemera Cut-Outs and the All Things Coffee clear stickers.

For this card I just adhered the Old Letters Pocket Backdrops paper onto the card base, then added the Flowers and Coffee Focal Front element. After that I fussy cut the croissant from the All Things Coffee Ephemera sheet and adhered it next to the coffee cup. The clear sticker is adhered on white cardstock, then cut into size and adhered to the card. The only “old” product added to this card is the brown Distress Oxide Ink around the edges of the paper.

Here is a quick peek into Flowers + Coffee Focal Fronts:

STAMPlorations 13th Birthday celebration – DAY 4

2 Comments

Hello everyone! Welcome to DAY 4 of the STAMPlorations 13th Birthday celebration!! Today I´ve got two card projects to share with you.

The new product I used for the first card features: Abstract Notes stencil and Big Cupcakes Colorables. From the older product I combined the Sweet Cravings stamp sets sentiments.

I placed the stencil directly onto the card base, applied various tones of Distress Oxide inks thru the stencil pattern to create a bold background. Next I colored the cupcake with alcohol markers and adhered it onto the card base. Finally, I stamped the Sweet Cravings set´s sentiments directly onto the card with black ink.

For the second card I used following new product from the store: Henna Pattern stencil and the Nostalgia #1 Ephemera Cut-Outs. The older product featured is again the Sweet Cravings stamp set.

I simply stenciled the Henna Pattern directly onto the card base by moving it around and creating a full surface random pattern. Next I fussy cut the Nostalgia #1 Ephemera Cut-Outs and adhered the into a cluster onto the card. For finishing touches I added some stamping with Sweet Cravings stamp set and some black ink splatters. I also outlined the card base with a black pen (faux stitching).

Here is a quick peek into Big Cupcakes and Big Birthday Cakes Colorables:

Hello and welcome to DAY 3 of the STAMPlorations 13th birthday celebration!!

For this project I used following NEW PRODUCT: the Modern Envelopes stencil and the All Things Coffee Ephemera Cut-Outs and the Old Letter Pocket Backdrops. To those I combined the Feathery stamp set sentiment.

I started by placing the Modern Envelopes stencil onto the Old Letter Pocket Backdrop paper and stenciling with brown Distress Oxide Ink thru it. Next I fussy cut the All Things Coffee Ephemera Cut-Out image and adhered it to the background. In addition, I stamped a sentiment with the Feathery stamp set and brown ink and adhered it to the card. After that I took a white card base, inked the corners all around with brown ink and then adhered the paper on place.

Here is a quick peek into the new Old Letter Pocket Backdrop papers:

Hello and welcome to DAY 2 of the STAMPlorations 13th birthday celebration!!

For this days project I used following NEW PRODUCT: the Henna Pattern stencil and the Profile 2 stencil. The card also features older product: the Mixed Media Grunge stamp set and the Sweet Cravings stamp set´s sentiment.

I first placed the Profile 2 stencil onto a white card base, then directly inked with various yellow and pink/red and brown toned Distress Oxide Inks thru the stencil creating a multi-colored face image. I also used the same ink tones to add some random stamping to the hair using the Mixed Media Grunge stamp set. I then went on to outline the image with a black pen along the stencil lines. After that I used a light green Distress Oxide Ink tone with the Henna Pattern stencil to add details to the background. Finally, I finished the card with a Sweet Cravings set stamped sentiment.

Here is peek into the new stencils:

Hello and welcome to the STAMPlorations 13th birthday celebration week!! Let´s get the party started with DAY 1!!

This is my take for the first day. A very pink toned card featuring Big Cupcakes Colorables and the Old Letters Pocket Backdrops paper from the NEW PRODUCTS and also used the Mixed Media Grunge stamp set and the Sweet Cravings stamp set.

I first inked the Old Letters Pocket Backdrop paper with two different pink tones of Distress Oxide inks. Then I added some stamping on top with Mixed Media Grunge stamps. After that I inked the edges with brown Distress Oxide Ink for depth. The paper is mounted on a pink card base. I then colored the cupcake image with alcohol markes and stamped the sentiment with Sweet Cravings stamp set. I mounted the image and the sentiment on place and added some garn underneath and that was it.

Here is peek into some new products available at STAMPlorations:

AJ page with layered stenciling and Distress Oxide Inks – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s Sanna here today with a layer stenciled art journal page share. For this project I used the following products: Organic 4 and Mini Textures 1 stencils as well as the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil in the focal point cluster. The stamps used as a further layer and focal point feature following sets: Mix It Up 7, Mix It Up 4, Collage Leaves 3 and Mix It Up 6.

I started with the following steps:

I first inked a lighter toned layer thru the above mentioned stencil onto the page, then slightly moved the stencil to create a 3D-effect and inked over the area with a similar tone, but slithly darker. That creates this really fun effect.

Next I took a black stamp ink and stamped some details with the Mix It Up 4 stamp set.

Followed with further stamping with the Mix It Up 6 and Mix It Up 7 stamp sets.

I also added some asemic writing to the background before creating a cluster of elements as a focal point. The blue collage fodder element is a previous make with Sketchy Leaves 5 and Brushos (see details here). The leafy flower is stamped on a music note paper with black ink (using Collage Leaves 3) and then fussy cut. Finally the sentiment was stamped on an old book page with the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set anf fussy cut to fit the page composition.

I also added some “turquoise” and “medieval” Gloss Spray droplets as detail and also added some stamped eyes in the process. They are from the Mix It Up 7 stamp set.

I love layering stencils and adding fun details to art journal pages with them. Then mixing some stamping with various stamp sets for contrast make creating art journal pages so much fun! I hope I could inspire you all abit with this page.

Have fun creating with Rubber Dance products!

Incredible Life mixed media card with Distress Oxide Inks and spray ink – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, today I have a slimine mixed media card and a process video share for you. I´ve used the Big Ovals and Sketchy Leaves 5 stencils and Butterflies and Moths, Doodle Flowers 2, Mixed Sentiments 1 and Mix It up 5 stamps for this card project.

I started by spraying the Big Ovals stencil with a green spray ink, then lifting it from the surface and pressing the wet stencil carefully onto the thick cardstock. I let it rest (and the ink soak in onto the paper) and next applied “mustard seed” Distress Oxide stamp ink thru the stencil onto the paper. After that I removed the stencil from the surface.

Next I took the Mix It Up 5 stamp set and stamped with the text pattern and grey stamp ink very randomly over the stenciled image, creating another layer. Then I took a golden brown spray ink and sprinkled some of it onto the surface. I let that layer dry, before moving to the next step.

As my next step I blended brown Distress Oxide Ink with a blending brush around the edges of the paper to frame the stenciled image. I then drew some faux stitching with a black pen around the edges to add some sharpness to the piece.

Finally, I gathered some collage fodder from my fodder stash (made with Skethcy Leaves 5 stencil and Brushos (video) and Distress Inks and Doodle Flowers 2 (video) as well as gelli plate and Butterflies and Moths (video). I arranged the images into a cluster of some sort and added a white sentiment strip to the card base. I used the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp set with brown stamp ink for it. Before adhering the finished piece onto a white card base, I also added some white Gloss Spray splatters to the background for fun. I just cannot seem to create without splatters.

Here is the process video for you to watch:

I hope you get inspired by this idea and make some mixed media cards yourself!
Happy crafting,

“You Are” Art Journal page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s Sanna here today with another Art Journal page share. For this project I used the Mix It Up 7 and the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp sets with the Mini Marks 1 and the Sketchy Leaves 7 stencils on this journal page.

I started by applying the ground espresso Distress Paint randomly with a palette knife onto the page. Next I took some leftover collage paper bits and adhered them around the edges to the page. After that I applied layers of Distress Paint in antique linen, spun sugar and tumbled glass to the background. Some parts of the residue collage papers got cover with paint, some didn´t. After that I added some stamping using the Mix It Up 7 stamp set and grey and brown stamp inks and the number stamps.

As my next layer I added some stamped “punchinella” pattern with a light grey stamp ink and the Mix It Up 7 stamp set here and there. As my next step I used the Mini Marks 1 stencil and Distress Paint picket fence to add some stenciling to the page. My paint is a bit older and thicker already, so it works great as texture paste here.

As my focal point I used a previosly made Brusho leaf collage fodder piece (see video here) and for the sentiment I stamped and fussy cut a sentiment from the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp set. For final touches and additional interest I also had to add a few droplets of Gloss Spray in cheddar.

Here is the process video for you to watch:

Hope I could inspire you to play with Rubber Dance products in your own journal!

50th birthday card set

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! I recently created a set of 50th birthday cards. This is what I ended up creating:

Both of them are for a woman, but she is not a girly, pink, flower girl. Thus the more “cool” designs. On this card I´ve used Dani Peuss papers on the background and some older chipboard and stickers from my stash. Plus some spray ink in black and a black gel pen.

Like the first one, the second is also a slimline format card:

For this one I used a Rubber Dance stencil (Leaves 2) with Distress Oxide Inks in various blue shades. I also added two types of American Crafts alpha stickers (foam and vinyl). I also used some black and golden pigment droplets as well as a piece of twine and a some chipboard stars and a stamped Stampin´ Up! sentiment. Stamped with a blue VersaFine Clair stamp ink.

Inside one of the cards I created a pocket for a gift card. The other one is without one. These were fun to make! I hope the recipient will also appreciate them ;-).

Happy crafting,

STAMPlorations – March challenge reminder with a stenciled uplifting card

Leave a comment

Just a quick heads up for you guys, that there is still time to joint the STAMPlorations “Anything Goes March challenge“!

As an inspirational project, I´ve created a card using the Shine Bright stamp set to create the light bulbs. I´ve also created the background using a STAMPlorations stencil – however they are not quite yet available for purchase.

I first added some yellow and orange Distress Oxide Ink thru the stencil onto the white cards background. Next I stamped the light bulbs with black ink onto an orange paper and then added some details with metallic gel pens to them.

Onto the background I then stamped some hearts with black ink. The sentiment is from the same stamp set, too.

I hope you join us and play along & also get inspired by my take. Please make sure to play by the rules (listed here). And have fun!!

Happy creating,
xx, Sanna
