Cards Using Rub-ons
Joys of the Season
I loved the labels that came with some new jeans I brought. I trimmed them to size, sanded them (with sandpaper) for a worn look, and decorated them with Rub-ons. Then I used them to make Christmas Cards.
This card has the edges sponged with black ink. |
Merry Christmas
This card is similar to the first, but here for a backing piece, I used black card with a white core so that when sanded the centre colour shows through.
|
Joy and Laughter
For this card I used black card with a white core. I sanded it, allowing some of the inner white to show through, matching it to the look of the sanded tag. I also sponged the edges with dark brown ink to match the brown colours in the tag.

Fun-filled Christmas
This card uses torn pieces of brown card as the backing for the tag. The black base card is sponged with white and brown ink. The cream rectangle the tag is layered onto has been sponged with brown ink also.
|
Joy and Laughter
This card uses three pre-made present embellishments, Rub-ons and some white ink sponged around the edges of the card.

A Jolly and Fun Christmas
This card was decorated using pieces of torn card, a Christmas Rub-on and 3 kaiser self-adhesive rhinestones.

A Very Merry Christmas to You
This card uses grey- black card, and I have sponged the edges of the piece of cream piece of card with black ink to help it blend to the base card. I also used a black brad to tie the tag's string around for extra decoration.

Three Ornaments
This card used the same glue stickers as above, but instead of pigment, I coated them with Foil transfer paper which adheres only to the glue.
Tsukineko also makes a glue pad, which you can use with your craft stamps to make "stickers" for the metallic foils. |
