Full Deck Challenge 2025 – 3 “yellow”

Leave a comment

Hello! I decided to join the 2025 Full Deck Challenge. It´s been called to life by ShanoukiArt and this years theme is a collage on a deck of playing cards (or similar). A deck card a week with a different “theme”.

Here are some “rules”: one should do a continuous thing, like for example adding postal stamps (like she does) to every deck card to have something on them that binds them together. I choose to add a date stamp on every deck card. In addition one should take a bit of something from the previously done deck card material and use that on the next one too.

There is a Facebook group (look for Full Deck Challenge Group) to join for sharing one´s creations and also her YouTube channel to the weekly challenge.

It sounded so much fun that I decided to join. At least I´ll try. Here is my take for deck card 3 with the theme “YELLOW”:

Yellow is one of my favorite colors! I used the yellow parts from the gelli printed paper I used on the previous deck cards, then added again some paper bits gifted me by Yuna again. Some yellow washi tape, some Dina Wakley heavy body paint in yellow and velvet ribbon, a chipboard piece, a date stamp and a stamped butterfly (like on the previous deck card). And some glitter glue. Oh, and the Rubber Dance stamp stamped word again, too.

and here is the video:

So far I am really enjoying this! Happy crafting!

It sounded so much fun that I decided to join. At least I´ll try. Here is my take for deck card 2 with the theme “ORANGE”:

Here I again used the same gelli print piece, like on the first deck card. This time the more orange part of it. I also added a piece of paper gifted to me by Yuna again. Some washi tape in orange, some bits and bobs from my older stash, a date stamp, a Rubber Dance butterfly and stamped word. Also a paper doll by Tim Holz.

And here is the video about the making:

Orange is not my favorite of colors, so I really had to dig thru my stash to find suitable bits :).

It sounded so much fun that I decided to join. At least I´ll try. Here is my take for deck card 1 with the theme “RED”:

I used gelli print paper on the background (created with Rubber Dance stencil). Also I added some washi tape, a bird ephemera, some ribbon, old rub-ons, a number from my last years 100 day challenge, a Rubber Dance stamp word and finally, some papers gifted me by Yuna from Australia.

And here is a short video of the process. In the end of the video there is a link to ShanoukiArt´s original video, just in case you want to join too.

Wishing you all a wonderful day & happy crafting!

RUBBER DANCE ART STAMPS, TAGS

Mixed media tag set – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello everyone, I am up over at Rubber Dance blog today with a tag set featuring gelli printed fodder elements. For these tags I used the Butterflies and Moths, Mix A Sentiment 2023 and Loose Florals 2024 stamp sets.

Here is how I created the tags:

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.

Happy crafting,

Vintage-style Art Journal page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello and Happy New Year! It´s Sanna here with a “vintage”-style art journal page share today. For this page I used the Mix It Up 5 stamp set and the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil with plenty of different Distress Oxide Ink tones.

For the background I used the tones “wilted violet”, “fossilized amber”, “iced spruce” and “aged mahagony”. I applied the color onto a acrylic block, then misted it with water mist and pressed the block onto the paper. After that I took the Mix It Up 5 stamp set and added inked and misted stamp images in a row to the background.

Next I took the Marks 3 stencil and wiped some “aged mahagony” thru it onto the background. For the circle stamp image from the Mix It Up 5 stamp set I used “iced spruce”. Then I took a gelli printed Sketchy Leaves 5 leaf image and adhered it onto the page. For the journaling I built my own sentiment with the Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set. And for finishing touches I added a Tim Holtz paper doll for decor.

Here is a full step-by-step video from start to finish:

I hope you enjoy watching the video and get inspired to play with your Rubber Dance stamps and stencils in your own art journal! Have fun!!

Lucky You – cards

Leave a comment

Hello, today I´m sharing the last cards of this year. Just two mushroom cards I created with my final bits of Gloss Sprays and the Textured Mushrooms 2 stamp set.

For these cards I just grabbed a green paper onto which I had applied some texture paste thru the Marks 2 Rubber Stamps stencil. On top some neon colored droplets and a cluster of mushrooms and a stamped sentiment. The “Lucky You” text in German is hand written and some gloss spray droplets accompany it.

I created two of these cards, using the same basic idea on both. Wishing you all a good last day of 2024!!! And all the best for the next year to come. Lot´s of health, happiness and creative fun!! See you on the other side!

Mixed media background Christmas card – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn for a Rubber Dance project share today again. I am up with another Christmas card created with a mixed media background. For this card I used all the gelli printed paper bits I had left over from my previously shared Christmas cards. For details I used the Stars 1 stencil, the Mix It Up 5 stamp set and the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set.

Here is how I created the card:

I took a piece of printing paper and adhered the leftover gelli prints onto it first. Next I took some white texture paste and applied it onto the background thru the Stars 1 stencil with a palette knife.

Then I wiped some turquoise dimensional pearls here and there onto the background with a palette knife. After that I took some Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink and stamped random text images onto the background. The stamp I used was the Mit It Up 5 set.

Next I changed to a black stamp ink and added other stamped imaged to the background from the same stamp set. Then I applied some Gloss Spray splatters in pink and yellow for contrast and let them dry. Finally, I took a piece of white cardstock and stamped a textured tree with black stamp ink onto it. I finished the card off with a stamped sentiment and adhered the tree with 3D foam onto the card.

This is not a typical Christmas card, but will be a perfect one for that one mixed media loving friend. Wishing you a lovely holiday season!

Xmas trees on dry embossed background

Leave a comment

Hello and hapy Monday! Here is yet another Xmas card I created.

I used my old dry embossing folder by Cuttlebug to create this background, then inked over the embossed paper with Distress Oxide ink (Faded Jeans) very lightly. I then added some stenciled and stamped Xmas trees as a centerpiece and stamped a sentiment on an inked piece of paper with 3D foam. The dots are made with golden paint and glitter glue.

The stamps used on the stenciled and outlined trees are by Rubber Dance, as is the stencil used here. For more details see the supply list at the end.

Have a good start into the week!

Christmas cards in bulk – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn to share Rubber Dance creative goodness today. Today I am sharing a set of cards I created using bits and pieces from all the cards I have shared in November and December so far. While creating the previously shared cards I had plenty of “parts” left over, so I used them for the cards I share here today.

These were the starting points of everything and since I made plenty, here are a few more cards I created with the material left to hopefully inspire you:

For these cards I used the gelli printed red backgrounds and some Xmas Trees 1 stencil created gelli prints that I had added stamping with a stamp from the Mix It Up 5 stamp set from.

For these cards I used some of the stamped and fussy cut Textured Xmas Trees 2 images on a stenciled inked and stamped background. The stamps are from the Mit It Up 5 stamp set again and the stencil is the Marks 2 stencil.

For the last card I used the second Stars 1 gelli printed background in combination with the glitter paste Xmas Trees 1 trees. Here I fussy cut along the glitter edges to create a “cleaner” look. I also decorated the middle tree with some Nuvo Vintage Drops in red to add a fun detail.

I create plenty of Christmas cards every year and it is good to have “starting point material” ready to play with, like I did on these cards. How about you? Do you create cards in bulk? I find it hard to make 20 of the same type, therefore I work my way around and add a little different details to each card.

Happy crafting,
Sanna
