Technique – stencilling

Featuring stencilling

Makes my heart sing

Hi there!

I’ve been trying to use the Purr-fect Friends stamp set from My Favorite Things for quite a while – and finally did today. I used images from the set together with two stencils by My Favorite Things to create this card (The sky/cloud inking on the window background is soft and so didn’t really show up in my photos unfortunately!).

Anyway, I’m entering today’s card into two challenges – My Favourite Things Sketch challenge and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (Furry Friends).

Thanks for stopping by!

Congrats, Grad

Happy Friday! I have to say I think I love today’s lesson in the Online Card Classes Sparkle and Shine workshop the best so far!

And I love my Nuvo glitter paste which I bought ages ago but only jut tried today! I used it with a stencil made from a Lawn Fawn die to create a special frame on this card.

All stamps are by Hero Arts.

I’m entering this card into the current Casology challenge (commencement) and also the Simon Says Stamp Monday challenge (Frame it).

Thanks for stopping by!

Hi Everyone!

I’m back in my craft room after being away and it feels so good!

The theme for this week’s Less is More challenge is ‘shadow’ so I used a shadow/stencilling technique that Shari Carroll shared at Simon Says Create in 2015.

I used SSS fog card as my base and applied SSS Smoke ink over a Tim Holtz stencil and then moved it slightly before applying Lawn Fawn yeti ink. I used SSS banner dies to cut the panel and cut a vellum banner using the same die set, cutting it twice to remove the fishtail portion of the banner.

I cut the MFT Cheers die and three times – once with DCWV glitzy paper (isn’t it fabulous?!) and twice with white cardstock and then stuck them together before adding it to my card. I’m also entering this into the current SSS Flickr challenge –‘anything goes’.

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Spring!

Hi there!

The daffodils are gradually being replaced by tulips in my part of the world and today I saw some beautiful tulips in Borde Hill Gardens which inspired me to make this card using a beautiful Memory Box die. The stamp is by Simon Says Stamp and I also used a new Altenew Stencil to add some interest to the base card.

I’m entering this into the current Case This Sketch challenge.

Thanks for stopping by!

Starting on my Easter cards

 

Happy Saturday everyone!

It’s time for me to start on my Easter cards and made this one using a Memory Box die, lots of Pretty Pink Posh sequins and a stencil by The Crafter’s Workshop. I’m entering this into two challenges – AAA Cards (die cuts) and Less is More challenge (pastels).

Thanks for stopping by!
