Layered art journal page – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, today I have an art journal page share for you. For this page I used the Doodle Flowers 2, Butterflies and Moths, Mix It Up 5, Mix It Up 7, Carved Collection 6, Stitching Borders and Mix It Up 4 stamp sets as well as Dotted 1 and Mini Textures 1 stencils.

I started by wiping residue ink from the Dotted 1 stencil onto the background and pressing another layer of residue brown ink from the Mini Textures 1 stencil around the first pattern. Next I grabbed some Neocolor II crayons and applied various yellow and light pink tones to the page. After that I grabbed a selection of pink, green, brown and turquoise Distress Oxide Inks and used the various stamps to add details and layers to the background.

I also painted some circles onto the page and filled those with golden pigment dots. Next I added contrast with a black stamp ink by adding stamped stars and numbers as well as stitching. I then clustered a few collage fodder pieces together (leaves and butterfly) and adhered those on place. I also had a few “diy vintage labels” left over, so I adhered a few onto the page. For finishing touches I added two sentiment stickers and created black areas with an acrylic marker and detailed those with a white gel pen.

This was a really fun one to make! Have you tried this idea of freely adding plenty of layers and seeing where the page takes you?

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

Full Deck Challenge 41/2025 – zig zag

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Sunday! I am a bit late posting this one, but we had been on a lovely vacation and then work got the best of me.. Anyways, here is my take on the 41/2025 FDC for “zig zag”.

I got really lucky for this theme, because I had just received my Rubber Dance order in the mail and it had this new stamp set, full of zig zag patterns!! So I immediately wanted to use this for the deck card. I started with some of the paper from my previous deck card (but only used the plain orange bits and saved the feathers). To that I added some additional collage paper in red (gifted to me by Yuna) and some plain orange paper. After adhering them to the deck card – which I by the way always sand – I then added some black stamping with the Rubber Dance Stitching Borders stamp set. After that I grabbed my constant – the date stamp for more detail.

I had saved some tea bag packaging (looove the inside of it!!!) and fussy cut the flower as a centerpiece. Added some yarn to go with the flower and a button into the middle. Then some Rubber Dance stamped words and the deck card was done. Here is also the video for you to watch. Enjoy!

See you next week with another FDC deck card take!
