Slimline cards with Weed Love stamp set and Distress Inks – Rubber Dance

Hello, it´s my turn for a Rubber Dance project share again. I created a set of clean and simple styled cards using the Organic 2 stencil, Distress Oxide Inks and the new Weed Love stamp set.

These are the steps to the finished cards:

I started by placing the stencil onto a white slimline card base. I always use washi tape or painters tape to attach the stencil and to keep it from moving while inking. On this card I used “saltwater taffy” and “kitsch flamingo” and blended them together with a blending brush. On the grey toned card I used “iced spruce ” and “speckled egg” tones.

After that I added Weed Love stamp images using black stamp ink onto the card base.

Then I added some glitter glue onto the stamped “weeds” for texture and detail. I used Nuvo “Sherbert Shimmer” for the pink card and Stickles “Star Dust” for the grey toned card.

For stamping the sentence I used the Mixed Sentiments 1 stamp set and stamped a word a line in a vertical manner. On the photo you can see how I covered the rest of the sentiment with washi tape to get a clean stamping result of the single word each time.

For a more “artsy” finish, I added some Gloss Spray splatters in a matching tone to the rest of the card (Blushing and Aloe). If you prefer a cleaner look, you can leave this step out.

I really like how the Organic 2 stencil creates such an elegant backdrop for the Weed Love images. I hope I could inspire you with this card idea. Have fun stenciling!

Full Deck Challenge 25/2025 – 2 favourite colours

Hello! Here is my take on the Full Deck Challenge number 25/2025: two favourite colours. I used yellows and greens which happen to be my fave colours.

I used patterned papers on the background (from my older stash). Then added some washi tapes in the same colours on top. I also sneaked in a tiny blue paper stripe (a carry over item from my last deck card).

After that I added some Rubber Dance stamp images with black ink and my constant, a date stamp. I chose a green butterfly as a focal point (also Rubber Dance stamps) and finished everything with yellow and green Gloss Spray droplets and a stamped sentiment.

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

Bold card backgrounds with Distress Inks and Rubber Dance stamps

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

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..

Vintage ticket card with collage background – Rubber Dance

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

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

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:

Stamped Baby-card set with Rubber Dance stamps

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,
