Rubber Dance – gelli printed collage paper tags

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, I´m here today with a set of gelli printed collage paper tags. I´ve used the Leaves #2, Ornament 1, Dotted 1 and Organic 4 stencils to make the gelli printed collage papers. For the stamping and fodder I used the Stitching Borders, Collage Leaves 3 and Doodle Flowers 2 stamp sets.

I started by using a Gelli Arts mini printing square plate for creating the stenciled images as well as the stenciled and transfer image ones. After creating plenty of collage paper squares, I chose the ones that worked the best together and adhered those to tags. On top I then added a some stamping with black ink and the Stitching Border set. On top I then added some collage fodder leaves (made with Doodle Flowers 2 set). For finishing touches I added some stamped sentiments from the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set.

For dimension and interest I also adhered a few wood veneer pieces from my stash and added some ribbon to the tags.

On how to make those gelli printed papers, there are plenty of videos available on the interned. I made a few here too. Hope you get inspired to try out making your own collage papers with Rubber Dance stencils and a gel plate. Have fun!

Working with residue papers – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, today I´m sharing a card idea that started off from a piece of “waste” paper. I used the Doodle Flowers 2 and the Stitching Borders stamp sets with the Ornament 1 stencil to create this card.

I´ve also “hidden” some light stamping with Distress Oxide Inks and Mix It Up 7 and Mix It Up 5 stamp sets onto the background. This card started with a “waste paper” I brayered gelli printing residue ink onto. I also cleaned my used stencil with a baby wipe thru the Ornament 1 stencil onto this piece of paper. That way the beginning for this backgroud had started by accident in a way.

After cleaning my table I noticed how nice the paper looked like and decided to use it as a card background. I then went and used the Mix It Up 5 stamp set iwth various light Distress Oxide Ink colours to add details to the white areas. After that I grabbed some collage fodder flowers from my stash, added one to the card as a focal point and stamped the sentiment with Kartengrüße stamp set. For finishing touches I added the faux stitching with black ink and some glitter glue to the flower for detail.

I love to use this type of papers as a starting point and give them a new life as a card background, for example. I think this one turned out pretty nice. Have you tried this idea?

Rubber Dance – stamped mixed media birthday cards

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance today. I am up with a set of cards, created using some of the new Rubber Dance stamps. For this card set I used the: Collage Leaves 3, Stitching Borders and Kartengrüße stamp sets. My starting point was a previously made, gelli printed collage paper. For that I had used the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil.

I started by cutting the previously made collage paper (gelli print with Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil) in two halves. After that I took an additional residue collage paper piece and stamped with black ink and Collage Leaves 3 onto it. Next I fussy cut the images.

After that I arranged a German birthday sentiment onto an acrylic block and stamped with orange and green Distress Oxide inks onto the background collage paper. Then I added some golden pigment splatters to the backgrounds. Next I took the fussy cut leaves and adhered them onto the card bases. For finishing touches I added a stamped birthday sentiment in black and some stitching around the edges with brown Distress Oxide Ink.

Here is the process video for you to watch:

I hope you get inspired and create fun, stamped cards with the new Rubber Dance stamps!

Happy crafting,
Sanna

“Note to self” Art Journal Page process – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn to share a project over at Rubber Dance blog today. I am up with an art journal page share. For this page I used the Ornament 1 and Mini Textures 1 stencils. For stamping I used Doodle Flowers 2, Collage Leaves 3 and A to Z stamp sets. I wanted to create an inspirational page and this is what I came up with:

My starting point was the inked Ornament 1 stencil which I sprayed with water mist and then pressed onto the journal page. Next I blended two tones of pink Distress Oxide Ink around the edges and white areas. After that I took the darker pink tone and stamped some leaf patterns onto the inked area, followed with light grey stamping.

I had a green toned collage paper ready and stamped with Collage Leaves 3 stamp set and black ink some leaves onto it. After that I fussy cut them and was ready to adhere them to my journal page. On top of the leaves I added a few Doodle Flowers 2 collage fodder images that I had previously made.

Then I decorated with leaves with golden pigment details. Next I stamped some inspirational words into the middle with the Collage Leaves 3 stamp set. For finishing touches I added a hand stamped title using the rest of my collage paper and the A to Z stamp set.

I also recorded a process video for you to watch – hope you enjoy!

Have fun creating!!

Full Deck Challenge 50/2025 – wonky house

Leave a comment

Hello! This is my take on the 2025 ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 50: wonky house.

On the background I´ve again used collage papers gifted to me by Yuna. On top some Neocolor II crayon and Dina Wakley Gloss Spray in white. The bottom paper is stenciled with a Rubber Dance stencil and modeling paste.

I hand drew the wonky house and fussy cut it. The title was a coincidence, because one of Yuna´s collage papers had it written on it. So I fussy cut that and used it as my title.

Here is the process video:

This was the hardest one for more of the deck challenges. I just could not figure out what to do with “wonky house”. So this is all I came up with.
Come back for the next one in a few days!

Clean and simple collage paper Christmas cards – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, I am up over at the Rubber Dance blog again today with another clean and simple card Christmas card share. For these cards I used some gelli printed collage papers, the Xmas Trees 2 stencil and the Kartengrüße stamp set. For the collage paper I had used the Textured Xmas Trees 2 and the Mix It Up 4 stamp set.

I basically combined the ideas from my previously shared Christmas cards here. I die cut the collage paper with the Textured Xmas Trees 2 pattern on it with circle die cut dies. And the Mix It Up 4 set circle stamp patterned paper is traced thru the Xmas Trees 2 stencil and then fussy cut. I then adhered both pieces to a white card base, added a sentiment stamp with the Kartengrüße stamp set and some golden pigment droplets here and there.

For the second card I basically did the same, except the stamped sentiment is on the card base, not on the collage paper. Also the golden pigment droplets are on the collage paper and the stamped stars are colored with the same golden color. For stamping those I used the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set.

Here is one more bonus card, for which I just added some stenciling with the Ornament 1 stencil as a background and arranged some collage paper trees on top. I had some left over and didn´t want them to go to waste.

Have fun creating some of your own!!
