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! Happy crafting, xxx, Sanna
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 again! Catching up with my FDC 2025 posts. I was a little sick and therefore was not able to keep up with posting there. But here is my take on “vintage with brown splatter”.
I again used the papers gifted to me by Yuna on the background collage. Also some very old (true) vintage label bits. Some old looking washi tape (my continous again). And old paper flowers by Graphic 45. The label sticker is a bold choice, but I liked the look of it. I also added some stamped words again (Rubber Dance).
The brown splatter is done using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist which adds a nice shine to the deck card. Hope you also enjoy the short video! TFL! xxx, Sanna
Hello, it´s my turn for a project share over at Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with a fun card project, created using residue gelli printing paper that I turned into card focal points. For this project I used the Dotted 1 and Organic 4 stencils and Mix It Up 4 as well as Butterflies and Moths stamp sets.
When gelli printing, I always take a sheet or two of paper to brayer the residue paint and/or lift paint from the gel plate on to. So sometimes these paper sheets are full of paint layers and I figured, I could upcycle them and make something fun of them.
I first took some die cut dies out and die cut the paper sheets into smaller pieces (circles, banners etc.). Next I took out the Dotted 1 and Organic 4 stencils and added some white and golden heat embossing powder areas to the die cut papers. Next I mixed white modeling paste with magenta acrylic paint together and applied the paste thru the Dotted 1 stencil onto the die cut pieces.
After that I took the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and added stamped details with black and light grey stamping ink to the pieces. After that ink and tinted modeling paste was dry, I added some Gloss Spray details in yellow, turquoise and fuchsia on top.
Now all I needed to do, was to stamp some details to the white card bases with Distress Oxide Inks and the Mix It Up 4 stamp set. I chose lighter colors as a contrast to the bold focal point pieces here. I then adhered the die cut focal point pieces with 3D foam tape onto the card bases, added some Butterflies and Moths fodder to go with them and chose a sticker sentiment to each card. For finishing touches I added a few Gloss Spray droplets alongside the card sentiments for additional interest.
Here is a video on the creating process for you to watch. I hope you get inspired by it!
Hello, here is my take 7 for the “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, called to life by ShanoukiArt. This time it´s about “be free” and “dark blue”.
I used mainly paper gifted to me by Yuna again on this one. The label sticker ist a continuous from my last deck card, as well as the stamped word (Rubber Dance stamp).
My constant is a date stamp and I again added washi tape, some 49andMarket fabric tape and some hand drawn stars from my last year´s 100 day challenge. The hearts and the enamel dots are from my old stash. I colored the hearts with a marker dark blue. Here is the process video:
I hope to have inspired you with this one. I love the blue tones here so, so much. See you next week with the next deck card. Happy crafting, xxx, Sanna
Hello, here is my take on the 6th Full Deck Challenge with the theme: light blue.
I think this is my personal favorite so far. I love the color. I found a Artist Almanac 2023 page that had lots of light blue on it. To it I again added bits from Yuna´s collage papers that she gifted me. The label sticker is the same, like on my previous deck card.
My constant, again, is a date stamp. To that I added some light blue washi tape, some fodder I drew last year for the 100 day challenge (flowers and cloud). For finishing touches I used a paper doll by Tim Holtz and a stamped word (Rubber Dance stamps).
Here is the video:
See you next week with another deck card share! Happy crafting, xxx, Sanna
Hello, here is my next deck card share for the 2025 Full Deck Challenge. This time the theme is “dark green”.
I used a paper gifted by Yuna on the background, as well as a gelli printed paper (I used Rubber Dance stamps for that). In addition I used my constant (a date stamp) and some old Sassafras alphabet stickers. The label sticker is something I took from previous deck into this one.
Then I added a stamped word (Rubber Dance stamps) and a word sticker, some yarn and two fodder pieces that originate from my last year´s 100 day challenge. I fiinished the background with a Edding glitter brush pen in green.
Here is the video for you to watch:
I am enjoying this challenge very much! Not too much pressure, as it´s only one a week.
Hello everyone! It´s again time for another Rubber Dance project share. I am up with a life quote themed art journal page share today. For this page I used the Wheels stencil, Loose Florals 2024, Mix It Up 6 and Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp sets.
I started by pressing misted Distress Ink (picked raspberry) with an acrylic block directly onto the background. Next I took the Wheels stencil and applied candied apple Distress Ink thru the stencil onto the background. I then grabbed the Mix It Up 6 stamp set script stamp and added stamping to the background with a light gray stamp ink.
After that I stamped the flowers with the Loose Florals 2024 stamp set onto white paper and colored them with alcohol markers and glitter pens. Then I stamped the leaves, using the same stamp set, onto blue paper and added some glitter pen details onto them. I also added some Gloss Spray splatters in turquoise onto the background for interest. I then adhered the leaves, the black and white stamped couple and the flowers onto the page.
After that I wanted to add a quote to the page and found a suitable one. I partly stamped the words – using the stamps from the Mix It Up 6 set – and wrote the rest by hand. I finished the quote with a stamped sentiment from Mixed Sentiments 1 set at the very bottom. I still felt like the page needed some more details, so I stamped the black splodges using the Grungy Butterflies stamp set and also added some stamped grey numbers here and there. This stamp is part of the Mix It Up 6 stamp set.
Do you use quotes in your art journals? I love adding them to my pages. I hope I could inspire you to play in your journal today! Have fun! xxx, Sanna
I first started by stamping brown Distress Oxide Ink with the Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set onto the kraft tags. Next I took black stamp ink and the leaves from the Loose Florals 2024 stamp set and stamped black leaf images onto the tags.
Then I colored the leaf images with glitter brush pens and added some gelli printed strips to the bottom of the tags with some old book page pieces. For the gelli print piece I used the same Loose Florals 2024 stamp set.
After that I added some white gel pen circles to the background for interest and adhered some butterfly fodder and ribbon to the tags.
For finishing touches I added some liquid pearls to the butterflies and attached sticker sentiments to each tag.
Here is also a quick step-by-step to how the butterfly fodder was done:
First create a colorful gelli print. I used three tones of paint and “drew” random scribbles to the paint. Next I stamped “Butterflies and Moths 2024” with black stamp ink onto the gelli print. After that I fussy cut all the images. This way I have plenty of fodder ready for my next projects.
Creating the fodder and tags was so much fun. I hope you give it a try! While at it, make sure to try out different color combinations and patterns. This way you have plenty of material to work with for future projects.
