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 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 36/2025 – flowers

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is yet another take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 2025. The prompt number 36 was “flowers”.

I used a paint residue paper (on the right side) as my carry-over-item from the previous deck card. My constant is a date stamp. On the left side I used a collage paper gifted to me by Yuna from Australia. I used the flowers as a background detail. On top I added some Rubber Dance Mix It Up 5 stamp set stamping.

Next I applied some Ocean Gloss Spray by Dina Wakley and decorated the piece with a Rubber Dance flower and stamped words. Stamps are from the Mix It Up 7 and Mix A Sentiment 2023 stamp sets.

Here is again the start-to-finish video:

See you next week with another take! Happy crafting!

Full Deck Challenge 33/2025 – song lyrics

Leave a comment

Hello, this is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge 33/2025 – song lyrics.

I started by taking a gelli printed paper (used this Rubber Dance stamp for it) and wrote some lines from Derik Fein´s “Sun” onto paper with my old typewriter.

I then adhered the paper onto the lightly sanded playing card and added a carry-over-item from my previous deck card to it: a piece of old book paper. Next to that I adhered a piece of collage paper gifted to me by Yuna from Australia. After that I added my constant – the date stamp – onto the book paper part. I didn´t want to cover all the song lyrics, therefore I kept the background simple and just added some collage fodder and a sentiment on top this time. The collage fodder is made with this Rubber Dance stamp and this stencil. The sentiment was done using this stamp set. You can see how I go about creating these collage pieces, if you watch my Rubber Dance playlist on YouTube :).

See you next week with another FDC take! Until then, happy crafting,

Full Deck Challenge 31/2025 – rainbow

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Friday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge numbere 31/2025: rainbow.

I used an old book paper on the background with some green collage papers (gifted by Yuna to me) as my carry-over-item from my previous deck card. On top of those I added some Neocolor II crayon in yellow.

After that I took some Heidi Swapp stickers and added sticker rainbows to the background. On top of that there are white and medieval Gloss Spray drops. I then wanted to add a bigger centerpiece and looked for a while. Then I remembered that I had drawn collage fodder for the 100 day challenge last year and looked there. And sure enough, found a hand drawn rainbow.

So I added that on to the deck card. In the process I covered a few star stickers, but I am happier with the result this way. For finishing touches I again added a sentiment. This time a sticker one from the same Heidi Swapp sticker sheet. I attached it onto white cardtock and then adhered on place. Makes it stand out more from the background that way. And I was done. Here is the process video:

See you again next week with another take!

Full Deck Challenge 29/2025 – photo

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Thursday! This is my take on the ShanoukiArt Full Deck Challenge number 29: photo.

I used some vintage looking collage papers again (gifted to me by Yuna from Australia). In addition I added a strip of the black and white flower paper – a carry-over-item from my last deck card.

The DIY vintage ticket is done with Rubber Dance stamps and Distress Inks. I added a date stamp (my constant) to it. The photo is a vintage one of Ava Gardner and I attached it onto the card with a stapler. The words are stamped with a Rubber Dance stamp. And here is the video:

Today´s deck card is a pretty simple one. I didn´t want to add much and instead highlight the photo more. See you next week with another one!
Happy crafting,

DIY vintage tickets with stamps and Distress Inks – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, I am up over at Rubber Dance with another project. I have a DIY ticket tutorial up for grabs this time. I used the “Mix It Up 4″, “Mix It Up 5” and “Mix It Up 7” stamp sets to create the tickets.

I started by applying 3 different Distress Ink brown tones (vintage photo, tea dye & gathered twigs) with a blending brush onto a white, smooth, mixed media paper. This blending result does not have to be meticulous. The more random and irregular it turns out, the better! You can even add lines and leave areas almost white during this step. This only adds to the vintage/used feel of the end result.

Next add water splatters onto the inked paper. Let sit for a while and dab any residue water off with a cloth or a paper towel. Then take all the ticket looking stamps from the stamp sets out and stamp onto paper repeatedly. After that cut into size with a paper trimmer / scissors. For finishing touches, go around the edges of each ticket with brown ink. Now you have yourself a pile of cool tickets you can use in future projects.

Here is a video of the ticket making process:

I hope you get inspired by this idea and make some tickets of your own with Rubber Dance stamps and Distress Inks! Have fun!

Full Deck Challenge 14/2025 – turquoise & stapler

Leave a comment

Hello and happy Wednesday! Here is my take on the ShanoukiArt “Full Deck Challenge”, week 14. The theme was turquise and stapler.

I used bits from my 2023 Artist Almanac and a piece of golden paper with turquoise dots. Next I added some washi tape, my constant; the date stamp and a label sticker (a kind of carry-over from my previous deck cards). On top some stapler details. On top of it all a fussy cut word with a Rubber Dance stamped one and some hand painted ephemera (from my 100 day challenge from last year).

As a contrast to last weeks one, this deck card turned out much more calm and harmonious :). And here is the video:

I hope you join the challenge, if you have not yet done so. It´s great fun and not so time consuming, as you only make one a week.

Happy crafting,

ARTIST TRADING CARDS, RUBBER DANCE ART STAMPS, TUTORIALS

Set of stamped ATCs – Rubber Dance

Leave a comment

Hello, I am again up over at Rubber Dance blog with another project share. This time I have a set of stamped Artist Trading Cards with a video tutorial for your inspiration. For this set I used a gelli printed background paper, where I used the Marks 2 and Organic 3 stencils with acrylic paints to create the paper. The following layers were done using Pencil Marks 8 and Mix It Up 4 stamp sets and the Stars 1 stencil.

I started by stamping first with Mix It Up 4 stamp set and brown and grey shadow inks onto the paper. Next I stamped some circles with Pencil Marks 8 stamp set and applied Distress embossing glaze (weathered wood) with a heat tool on top.

Next I grabbed the scallop border stamp from the Mix It Up 4 stamp set and stamped with black ink onto the paper. After that I took some pre-made paper that had stenciled glitter paste on it (thru Stars 1 stencil). I wripped some stars from the paper and adhered them randomly onto the background. Next I decorated the ATC´s with leaf collage fodder (see the reel for that here), some yarn and a wooden button. For finishing touches I added some black pen outlining, some white Posca dots and a stamped and fussy cut sentiment from the Mix a Sentiment 2023 stamp set.

Here is a start-to-finish video for you to watch. Hope you enjoy it!

See you again soon with another inspirational project. Happy crafting!

Full Deck Challenge 2025/10 – vintage with brown splatter

Leave a comment

Hello again! Catching up with my FDC 2025 posts. I was a little sick and therefore was not able to keep up with posting there. But here is my take on “vintage with brown splatter”.

I again used the papers gifted to me by Yuna on the background collage. Also some very old (true) vintage label bits. Some old looking washi tape (my continous again). And old paper flowers by Graphic 45. The label sticker is a bold choice, but I liked the look of it. I also added some stamped words again (Rubber Dance).

The brown splatter is done using Tattered Angels Glimmer Mist which adds a nice shine to the deck card. Hope you also enjoy the short video! TFL!
