Xmas cards with collage paper

Leave a comment

How about putting some of the collage paper piles we all have into good use and create some Christmas cards with them? Here are some I did:

I have a glitter paste stenciled background paper on these cards (made with Tonic Studios paste and Stars 1 Rubber Dance stencil). On top I´ve added some on collage paper stamped (Textured Xmas Trees 2) trees. Finished with Kartengrüße stamp set sentiments. The green tree was stamped on plain paper and then colored with Edding glitter brush pens.

For the second set I´ve used the Marks 3 and Marks 2 stencil with a Gelli Arts gel plate for the backgrounds. On top I´ve used the Xmas Trees 1 stencil with Tonic Studios glitter paste and the sentiment is again done with Kartengrüße stamp set. I really like these bright colors! Who says Xmas cards can´t be bold in color?!

And for the final set I´ve used the Organic 3 and Cross It stencil with a gel plate on the background. The trees (Textured Xmas Trees 2) got stamped onto another gelli printed collage paper and fussy cut. I´ve added some glitter pen details to the slimline card´s trees and the smaller card has some Tonic Studio Nuvo Drops as decor. Sentiments on both were stamped with the Kartengrüße stamp set.

Have fun creating some Xmas cards with collage papers, stamps and stencils!!!

Full Deck Challenge 44/2025 – window

Leave a comment

Hi there! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 44: window.

I used an exacto knife to cut a window onto the deck card. I then placed a vintage photo behind the window. After that I added some of the collage papers that I also used on my previous deck card (carry-over-item) and added some additional ones. All gifted to me by Yuna from Australia.

After adhering the collage papers on place, I added my constant, a date stamp here and there. After that some white modeling paste thru a Rubber Dance stencil. After that some Dina Wakley Gloss Spray as detail.

For finishing touches I added Tim Holtz word stickers and two red buttons for the window.

Here is the start-to-finish-video:

See you again next week with another FDC take!

Quick stenciled Xmas card idea – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn to share a Rubber Dance project again. I am sharing a set of Christmas cards this time. I used the Xmas Trees 2 and the Stars 1 stencil for these cards. The idea is very simple, you just need some gelli printed collage papers as a starting point.

I have quite a pile of collage papers that I´ve created with Rubber Dance stamps and stencils during the past year. This pile is a great starting point to any kind of project, basically. Here I´ve used gelli printed images that I created using the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set. Next I took a glitter paste and applied it thru the Stars 1 stencil onto the paper.

After cutting the paper into size, I wripped the bottom part of the paper. The “unclean” line add more interest to the card.

After that I took another collage paper (created with Marks 2 and Marks 3 stencils and bold colors) and placed the Xmas Trees 2 stencil on top. I then traced the tree patterns with a black pen onto the paper and fussy cut the trees.

I then took a piece of white paper and stamped Christmas wishes with black ink and Kartengrüße stamp set. Cut into size and adhered to the card and the card set was done in no time.
Here is step-by-step video, too:

Have fun creating with collage papers and adding details with stencils!

Full Deck Challenge 43/2025 – circles

Leave a comment

Hello, this is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 2025, number 43: circles.

I again used Yuna´s collage papers and my carry over item – bits of old book paper – on the background. On top I mixed white modeling paste with Dina Wakley heavy body paint in turquoise and stenciled it thru a Rubber Dance circle stencil onto the deck card.

In between the stenciled pattern, I stamped my constant, the date stamp images. For decor I added a premade collage flower (stamp by Rubber Dance) and some word stickers (Tim Holtz).

Here is the start-to-finish-video:

See you again next week for another FDC take!

Full Deck Challenge 42/2025 – feathers

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 42/2025 – feathers.

I started by using the plain orange paper (used it on my previous deck card too) on the background with an old book paper scrap. On top of that I added some Distress Oxide ink in walnut stain thru the new Rubber Dance stencil “Mini Textures 1“. Next I added a layer of Dina Wakley Gloss Spray in “marine”.

The feathers that I used as a focal point are from the previous deck cards collage paper bit. So in a way the feathers are also a carry over item. My constant is a date stamp. I also again added some stamped words and a button to finish the deck card. Here is the process video:

See you again next week with another take!

Masked card background with Rubber Dance products and Distress Oxide Inks

Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my time to share a project over at Rubber Dance today. I am up with a masked card background idea and step-by-step tutorial. I used the new Sketchy Leaves 7 and Collage Leaves 3 for this card project.

I had a pile of previously made collage papers and I chose one of those as my starting point. The Sketchy Leaves 7 stencil pack has these lovely leaf masks in it and I wanted to use them to create some more depth to the background paper.

I started by placing the masks onto the paper and dabbing Distress Oxide Ink aged mahogany ink over them. After finishing this step, I removed the masks and added some water droplets to the paper. This lifted some of the ink off and created more interest. I also wanted the leaf patterns to stand out more from the background, so I outlined them with a black pen.

After finishing this step, I added droplets of golden pigment to the paper for additional shine. Then I just adhered the paper to a card base, added a collage fodder butterfly as a focal point. Next I stamped some sentiments to the leftover collage paper I had started the process with with black ink. This way I have the same colors going on the sentiments as well as the masked leaf patterns.

Here is a video step-by-step for more insight:

I hope you enjoy the inspiration and play a little! Have fun!

A set of mixed media cards with a process video

Leave a comment

Hello, I have a mixed media card set share for you today. For these cards I used the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil, Sketchy Flowers #3, Mix It Up 5 and Butterflies and Moths stamps.

I started off by applying modeling paste thru the Sketchy Leaves 5 stencil directly onto the card base. After that I used ocker and light green paints to add the first layer of paint to the card. I then wiped some of the paint off the stenciled areas with a baby wipe.

Next I added black stamping with the Mix It Up 5 stamp set. First onto the stenciled leaves, then slightly next to it. After that I added golden pigment splatters to the background. For finishing touches I added a stamped butterfly and sentiment.

Here is a process video for you to watch:

I hope to have inspired you with this card set tutorial! Have fun creating! Hop over to Rubber Dance store and purchase a stamp set of a stencil. It will support a small business to survive these crazy tax times!

Full Deck Challenge 40/2025 – sweets

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, number 40: sweets.

I used another collage paper gifted to me by Yuna from Austria as my background paper. I wripped it into pieces and adhered them onto the deck card. On top of that I added my constant – a date stamp. After that I took this Rubber Dance stencil and added some modeling paste thru it onto the background.

Next I applied turquoise Gloss Spray splatters on top. My carry over item are the tiny stars (a paper I used on my previous deck card). I adhered them to accompany my “sweets” theme focal point – a cupcake. The stars on top add detail. Finally, two words added with this Rubber Dance stamp set, finish the deck card.

Here is the process video:

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

Full Deck Challenge 39/2025 – stars

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge 2025”, number 39: stars.

I used some of the wild/bold colored collage paper as my carry over item from the previous deck card. Then I added some gelli printed and glitter paste stenciled (this Rubber Dance stencil) paper in tiny bits onto the background.

My constant is a date stamp (on the background) and on top I added DIY vintage tickets (using this and this stamp sets from Rubber Dance). I attached them with a stapler onto the deck card. On top I added a fussy cut vintage photo of a movie star (again matching the star theme with this one, too). I then added a stamped word and colored it with Neocolor II.

Here is the process video:

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