Hi there, crafty friends. I have two cards to share today that featuring foiling with a stencil… For the first card… First, I masked off a strip of the panel and applied THIS gel through THIS stencil on THIS specialty cardstock. After it was dry, I ran it through my MINC machine with THIS foil on top. I white heat embossed two sentiments from THIS stamp set in the masked off strip. I also...
Hi there, crafty friends. I’m all about the layering stencils lately and today’s card features THIS one… I started by applying ink through the three layers of stencils using a light, medium, and dark ink in the same color family. I LOVE that they label each stencil with what shade of ink to use. It takes out all of the guess work. I also added the string of dots from the stencils around each...
Hi there, crafty friends. Today’s cards features ink blending on colored cardstock… I always tend to reach for white cardstock when I ink blend so I thought I would switch it up and start with colored cardstock as the background. I find Distress Oxide inks work best for this. I started by applying Distress Oxide inks through THESE layering stencils, drying each layer in between. I chose Distress Oxide inks because they have a...
Hi, crafty friends. Today’s cards are part of THIS fun Blog Hop celebrating THIS new release. These cards were made from THESE cards that I shared yesterday doing stencil stamping… After inking up yesterday’s cards, there was a lot of ink left on the stencil. I spritzed that ink with water and “stamped” the stencil on to a piece of white cardstock. This gives a whole new look to the stencil pattern. You get...
Hi there, crafty friends. I have two cards to share today featuring products from THIS new release. These cards are part one. Stay tuned for tomorrow’s post where I’ll share two more cards that came from these backgrounds. For both cards, I created stenciled backgrounds. For the first card… I applied three colors of ink through THIS stencil and then outlined the pattern with THIS gold pen. I die-cut THIS word die from black...
Hello, crafty friends. I have a thank you card set to share today… I die cut THIS stitched square twice for each card. One for the front panel and one for the back panel. I scored the back panel piece and adhered glue above the line only, creating a hinge for the card to open and close. I masked off the edges of the front panel and stamped THIS text background in a coordinating...
Hi there, crafty friends. Scrappy Tails has a new release HERE and it’s filled with beautiful spring themed products. Today’s card features their new die and stencil butterfly sets… To create a background, I spritzed THIS and THIS spray on to the front of a slimline card. I die cut THIS, THIS, and THIS butterfly die from white cardstock. I used the coordinating stencil for each butterfly to add color to it. I also...
Howdy, crafty friends. I’m taking THIS Stenciled 2 class over at Online Card Classes and was inspired by the first day of class. Jennifer McGuire taught a lesson about rotating your stencils for a new look… For the first card… I applied pink ink through THIS Mermaid Scales stencil on a white A2 carstock panel. I flipped the stencil upside down and applied blue ink through the same stencil, creating a whole new look…...
Howdy, crafty friends. Today’s card share features THIS layering stencil set from THIS new release… I started by applying ink through THESE stencils. I love how layering stencils can add so much dimension. I die-cut the piece using a mini slimline die. I stamped the envelope image from THIS stamp set and used THIS coordinating die to cut it out. I also cut it from the stenciled panel. I stamped a coordinating sentiment from...
Hello there, crafty friends. Happy New Year! I’m back with my first card share of the new year… First, I created the background by applying ink through THIS stencil. Next, I die-cut THIS adorable toucan from colored cardstock and specialty cardstock. I like that the die set includes the base die so you can adhere all the pieces to it easily. Also, I love using THIS and THIS glossy cardstock for some shine. I...
