Bold card backgrounds with Distress Inks and Rubber Dance stamps

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my time to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog again. This time with a photo step-by-step card tutorial. For this one I used the brand new Carved Collection 6 stamp set with Distress Inks and black stamp ink.

And here is how I created the colorful background:

My starting point was a piece of white cardstock, the Carved Collection 6 stamp set and pink, yellow and orange toned Distress Inks. You also need an acrylic block and a water spray bottle.

I took all 4 triangle stamp images from the set and chose a color for each (mustard seed, picked raspberry, spiced marmalade and kitsch flamingo). I inked the image with the chosen stamp ink and lightly sprayed the surface with water mist (for a watercolor type of style). I repeated this step throughout the whole paper, changing color and image in a repetitive way, until the paper was full.

This is what the finished first layer looked like. I left some white space between the images, so each image would stand out better.

Then I took a black stamp ink and a leaf branch from the same set and repeatedly stamped with it on top of the first layer. I then fussy cut the image into two same sized pieces, drew along the edges with a black marker and adhered the background to a white card base. Next I added a Tim Holtz chipboard sentiment and some silver rhinestones onto the cards and they were done.

It is so much fun to create DIY card background “papers” with a stamp set like this! I hope you give it a try!
Happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 24/2025 – thread

Leave a comment

Hello! This is my take on the 24th Full Deck Challenge 2025: thread. I again used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna on the background.

On top of those I added my constant – a date stamp. After that I added three different tones of thread in a cluster and a Rubber Dance stamps mushroom on top.

I used my stapler as a carry over item from the last deck card and added a sentiment. It took me ages to find the right one, so bear with me on that during the video..

See you again next week with another FDC take! Happy crafting,

Vintage ticket card with collage background – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, it´s my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with a vintage styled collage background card. For this card I´ve used the “DIY vintage tickets” I recently created, as my focal point. The stamps used on this project are: Mix It Up 7, Mix It Up 6 and Mix It Up 5. On the background I´ve used various gelli printed and stenciled collage papers using different stencils, like: Marks 2, Marks 3 and Xmas Trees 1.

For this card I first gathered gelli printed and stenciled collage paper bits together and wripped and adhered random bits onto a piece of cardstock. Next I applied some white heavy body paint with my fingers onto the surface to tie the different papers together.

After that I grabbed some dark brown Distress Oxide ink and stamped a script image with Mix It Up 5 stamp set randomly onto the surface. Using the same stamp set I swapped for black stamp ink and another stamp and continued adding images. Finally using a dark blue Distress Oxide ink and one more stamp image from the set I finished the background.

Next I created a cluster with my “DIY vintage tickets” on to the card (see the video here). I adhered one of the tickets with 3D foam to create more depth. I also stamped some additional details to the tickets with Mix It Up 7 stamp set and a turquoise Distress Oxide Ink tone.

Then I added a Tim Holtz paper doll to go with the tickets, added some Mixed Sentiments 1 words to create a sentiment to the card and finished the card by stamping the word “journey” with black ink onto the background (Mix It Up 6).

To give you a better idea of the steps, here is the process video of the card:

I hope you get inspired to try some of these ideas out. Have fun!

Full Deck Challenge 22/2025 – cut up

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 22: “cut up”. That meaning cutting up the actual deck card some way.

I started by adding collage papers (by Yuna) to the background, then incorporating some carry over items (puzzle pieces) from my last deck card. After that I used my constant; a date stamp. I also added a label sticker to the background.

Next I wripped the card in two and adhered and stampled the pieces onto a residue paint paper. For decoration/finishing touches I added white and purple Gloss Sprays, some of my “DIY vintage tickets” and a stamped sentiment. Here is the process video:

I hope you enjoyed this one – see you next week with FCD take number 23. Happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 21/2025 – puzzle

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, here is my take on the 21st Full Deck Challenge by ShanooukiArt. The theme was “puzzle”.

I used 3 different pink toned papers and a Elizabeth Craft Designs die cut die with puzzle elements to die cut puzzle parts. I then arranged them onto a piece of old book page (peeking thru on the background). After that I used my constant, the date stamp. I messed the month, so I had to do a quick fix by adding more puzzle pieces on top and stamping again.

I then added some Rubber Dance stamped fodder as a focal point, accompnied with a stamped sentiment. Which I also messed up. I then fixed it by cutting a part off and replacing it with a stamped letter. For additional detail I´ve added some Gloss Spray droplets. And here is the video:

Hello! I am a bit late with sharing these, but here is my take on the 20th Full Deck Challenge; “paper doll”.

I used Tim Holtz paper dolls for this deck card challenge (by ShanoukiArt), added some collage paper gifted me by Yuna on the background. Some paper from the Artist Almanac 2023 got used too. My constant is a date stamp.

In addition I used Rubber Dance stamps (wings and words) to decorate my deck card and added some Stickles for sparckle.

And here is the video:

Stamped Baby-card set with Rubber Dance stamps

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, here is another Rubber Dance project share. I am up with a baby girl and baby boy card set . For these cards I used the Textured Birds 2 and A to Z stamp sets with pink and light blue stamp inks and Neocolor II crayons.

For these very easy-to-do cards you will need the following steps:

  1. Start a light colored polka dotted patterned paper and cut it into a size to fit the card base.
  2. For the Baby Girl card, pick a stamp ink in light pink tone and start by stamping the letters for baby girl onto the circles. Next grab a heart stamp from the Textured Birds 2 stamp set and stamp the other circles with hearts. Use the same stamp ink.
  3. Ink around the edges of the paper for more depth.
  4. Using black waterproof stamp ink, stamp a bird onto white cardstock. Color the bird with Neocolor II crayons and a water tank brush. Use similar pink tones like on the background.
  5. Fussy cut the bird and adhere to the card.
  6. Now repeat same steps but for a baby boy card. Use stars and hearts here for the background (Textured Birds 2 stamp set). Otherwise just repeat previous steps.

These cards are very fast and easy to make and you don´t have to be talented in coloring images either. I hope to have inspired you with this simple baby-card idea!
Happy crafting,

DIY vintage tickets with stamps and Distress Inks – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, I am up over at Rubber Dance with another project. I have a DIY ticket tutorial up for grabs this time. I used the “Mix It Up 4″, “Mix It Up 5” and “Mix It Up 7” stamp sets to create the tickets.

I started by applying 3 different Distress Ink brown tones (vintage photo, tea dye & gathered twigs) with a blending brush onto a white, smooth, mixed media paper. This blending result does not have to be meticulous. The more random and irregular it turns out, the better! You can even add lines and leave areas almost white during this step. This only adds to the vintage/used feel of the end result.

Next add water splatters onto the inked paper. Let sit for a while and dab any residue water off with a cloth or a paper towel. Then take all the ticket looking stamps from the stamp sets out and stamp onto paper repeatedly. After that cut into size with a paper trimmer / scissors. For finishing touches, go around the edges of each ticket with brown ink. Now you have yourself a pile of cool tickets you can use in future projects.

Here is a video of the ticket making process:

I hope you get inspired by this idea and make some tickets of your own with Rubber Dance stamps and Distress Inks! Have fun!

Stamped card background card set – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn to hare some Rubber Dance inspiration today. I created another card set and tutorial share. For this card I used only one stamp set – the Mix It Up 7.

I started by applying Distress Oxide Inks in yellow, pink and light green tones with a blending brush onto a piece of white cardstock.

After that I chose stronger Distress Oxide Ink colors for my second layer (blues, greys, browns and greens). I randomly stamped with various images from the same stamp set onto the background. I also changed the ink color every time I changed to another stamp image.

Next I took the wings and flowers from the same stamp set and stamped with black stamp ink onto a piece of white cardstock. Then I fussy cut the images.

Finally I glued everything onto a white card base. The black and white images formed the focal point. For finishing touches I also added some Stickles to glimmer, like seen on this photo.

Here is a video on the full process for you to watch:

I had so much fun making these card backgrounds. I hope I could inspire you to grab a stamp set and make some fun backgrounds! Have fun!
