Stenciled Art Journal Page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello! It´s my turn today over at Rubber Dance blog and I am up with a heavily layered, stenciled art journal page share today. For this page I used the Dotted 1, Big Ovals, Cross It, Wheels, Stars 1 and Marks 2 stencils. There are also some details added with the Doodle Flowers 2 stamp set.

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!

Butterfly fodder card – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

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,

From residue gelli prints to card focal points – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

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.

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:

I really enjoyed this one. Are you playing along? See my YouTube channel for the playlist and inspiration here.

Residue gelli printing paper as card focal point – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

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!

Full Deck Challenge 2025 / 7 (dark blue)

Leave a comment

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,

Layered and Distress Ink stenciled butterfly card – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, it´s again my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog today and I am up with a video tutorial to a heavily stenciled and lightly layered butterfly card. For this card I used the Stars 1 and Lattice stencils as well as the Mix It Up 5 stamp set. I also used the Butterflies and Moths fodder I had created for my last share.

I used a gelli printed background paper on the card. I created that one using the Mix It Up 4 stamp set with my gel plate. You can find videos around gelli prints with Rubber Dance stencils and stamps here.

I wanted to keep the colors on the card very light and matching. I therefore added stenciling with pumice stone & tumbled glas tones. They go very well with the background and don´t create a contrast too strong.

After stenciling, I added some stamping in same colors to the papers to create more interest and details. The edges of the paper are distressed and inked and the die cut flag is adhered to the paper with 3D foam for more depth.

I´ve also used Gloss Sprays to add splatters to the paper layers. I am a big fan of splatters. I think they add a fun element to projects. For finishing touches I added the gelli printed and stamped butterfly fodder (made using the Butterflies and Moths stamp set), a Tim Holtz sentiment sticker and some very old wood veneer stars. The black splatters are done with a wet brush and a watercolor crayon.

For more info, here is a full start-to-finish video for your to watch:

I also can not resist a little bit of glitter here and there sometimes. So the bodies of the butterflies got a little coat of Stickles in the end. I hope you like the idea and try it out yourself! Happy crafting,
xx, Sanna

Full Deck Challenge 2025 / 6 – light blue

Leave a comment

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!

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.

Full Deck Challenge 2025 / 4 (light green)

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Sunday! Here is my take on the Full Deck Challenge with deck card 4. Theme for this one is “light green”.

I used a sheet of the Artist Almanac 2023 on the background with Rubber Dance stamp set “Pencil Marks 8”. I also again added a collage paper piece gifted to me by Yuna. My constant here again is a date stamp.

In addition to those products, I added a label sticker, some 49andMarket fabrick tape bits, a light green washi tape and a fussy cut image of a man. I finished the piece off with the word “live”. Also something I have added to each deck card so far (stamped with Rubber Dance stamps).

See the video here:
