Stenciled Xmas cards – Rubber Dance

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

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!!!

Blue Brusho Xmas cards in bulk – Rubber Dance

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!

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
