Clean and simple collage paper Christmas cards – Rubber Dance

12/12/2025 admin 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!!

Stenciled Xmas cards – Rubber Dance

11/28/2025 admin Leave a comment

Hello, here is a set of stenciled Xmas cards I created using Rubber Dance products: Dotted stencil, Kartengrüße stamp set and Xmas Trees 2 stencil.

I used Distress Oxide in two tones for the background with the Dotted stencil. I started by inking the whole background with the first ink layer. After that I placed the Dotted stencil on top and added the second blue tone thru the stencil.

Next I took some Gansai Tambi Starry Colors golden pigment and added droplets to the background. After that I grabbed some Graphic45 Christmas papers and drew along the stencil tree patterns of the Xmas Trees 2 stencil with a black pen. Then I fussy cut the images and adhered them to the card.

For the sentiment I used the Kartengrüße stamp set with black ink. Next I stamped some stars to the treetops (Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set) and colored the stars with golden pigment. For finishing touches I also added some golden dots to the blue toned, fussy cut, trees. The ink tones I used for the backgrounds are: peacock feathers, speckled egg and salvaged patina.

Here is the video step-by-step:

I hope you like the card idea and create some fun stenciled Xmas cards too! Happy crafting,

Xmas cards with collage paper

11/27/2025 admin 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!!!

Quick stenciled Xmas card idea – Rubber Dance

11/20/2025 admin 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 34/2025 – happy scraps

09/17/2025 admin Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 34/2025: happy scraps.

For this one I used plenty of leftover bits from the previous deck cards (old book paper, collage papers gifted to me by Yuna from Australia, gelli printed papers). I wripped them into tiny pieces and arranged them very randomly onto the deck card. The book paper and the gelli printed paper bits are my carry over items this time.

After that I added stamping here and there with the Mix It Up 4 stamp set (Rubber Dance). I also added my constant, the date stamp. Next I used some Posca pens to add details to the papers (white, pink and blue).

For the focal point I used a premade tree (Textured Xmas Trees 2 by Rubber Dance) and some yarn. The premade tree is done ona glossy paper with Dina Wakley Gloss Sprays and stamping. I then also added some orange Posca pen details to the tree. Then I finished the deck card with a sentiment (Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp set).

Here is again the process video – have fun watching!

See you again next week with another FDC take!

Blue Brusho Xmas cards in bulk – Rubber Dance

12/22/2024 admin Leave a comment

Hello, it´s my turn today again again at the Rubber Dance blog and I am up with another set of Christmas cards. This time with a strong blue background. For the cards I again used the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set and the Stars 1 stencil.

I created quite a big piece of background paper at once, so I could create a big batch of cards. Here is how I made the background:

First I took the Stars 1 stencil and transparent texture paste. I applied the paste with a palette knife onto the surface thru the stencil. Some areas are fully covered with stars, some only have bits here and there. Next I took out a white mixed media paper (a thicker one that takes wet medium well), applied water onto it and then dabbed some white and turquoise Brusho powder onto the wet paper. Then I just let the powder do it´s magic on the wet surface. If needed, I added some more blue / white on top to make sure all areas got treated.

After the surface was dry, I sprinkled some speckled embossing powder onto the surface and heated it first from under the paper (this prevents the powder from flying away/moving) and then applied heat from the top, until the powder had melted. Now all I needed to do, was to cut the paper into right size for my white card bases and I had several card backgrounds ready.

To these cards I added the stenciled and inked Xmas Trees 1 stencil outlined trees. Before outlining and fussy cutting the images, I treated the paper with Distress Oxide Inks and stamped patterns with Mix It Up 5 stamp set on top. then I only added a stamped and fussy cut sentiment (from Textured Xmas Trees 2 set) onto the card.

On this card I used the same stencil and stamps, but this time, outlined a piece of an old map book page to create a fun Christmas tree centerpiece. Also the first card is done in the same manner.

On this card the centerpiece is again stamped with the Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set, but onto a piece of paper I brayered paint that was left over from a gelli printing session. The random stripes of color make the trees look really interesting.

On this card I´ve used the same basic idea, but the tree is stamped onto a gelli printed paper and then fussy cut.

This card is also done with the same basic idea, but mixing both gelli printed and brayered papers together for the centerpiece trees.

I love how the blue background is so strong in color and the embossing powder creates an illusion of falling snow. I hope my idea inspired you. Wishing you a lovely holiday season and many happy creative hours!

Mixed media background Christmas card – Rubber Dance

12/19/2024 admin 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

12/16/2024 admin 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

12/13/2024 admin 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

Xmas cards with Graphic 45 papers

12/10/2024 admin Leave a comment

Hello, how about another bulk share of Christmas cards I made for this year. I used the Graphic 45 collection “Let´s get cozy” for these cards. Here they are:

I used the papers and ephemera as they came, then added some half pearls and a stamped sentiment (from Textured Xmas Trees 2 stamp set by Rubber Dance).

In addition I also took a good look at my stash and found some rhinestone embellishments. They got added too. And some parts are adhered on place with 3D foam for additional depth.
