CAS Mix Up Stamping Through Stencil

Time for our CAS Mix Up Stamping Through Stencil hosted by Jenny.

Here is what Jenny has to say,

I love this technique because it adds so much interest and depth to your stenciling. I personally find it easier to use a fairly open pattern to make it easier to get a good impression.

Be sure and check out the wonderful card samples by our Design Team and our talented

Guest Designer,  Bobby (Bits & Pieces) and Michele (I card Everyone)

********************

We are also excited to Welcome our New CAS Mix Up Girl Designer: Chrissy (One of a Kind)

to our CAS Mix Up Family😊 Many of you know Chrissy as an amazingly talented

CAS designer, who rarely misses our CAS Mix Up Challenges.

A Big Hug and Welcome, Chrissy!

My card using Stamping,  Stamping thru Stencil & Sponging

This is my 1st time to try stamping thru a stencil.  Thank you Jenny for the challenge.  I always Love trying new techniques, my friend.  As you can see,  I chose a stencil with larger openings because of your advice!  Thank you!

I chose STAMPlorations Design Blox #5 Stencil 5.8" x 7.8".  The stencil is also part of the

  Birthday Bundles #1 for a discount.  I sprayed the stencil with Pixie Spray, a light tack spray.

Then placed on SU Basic White 100# cardstock.  Moved to MISTI.

Stamped STAMPlorations In Bloom: Heartfelt Hibiscus using Archival Jet Black Ink.

Tip: Immediately cover stencil with Archival Ink Remover and place in sink of warm soapy water to remove the ink from the stencil.  I got all,  but a tiny bit of ink off my stencil.

After ink dried completely I used i-crafters i-brushes to blend the SU inks.

To get a smooth blend with the SU inks I tapped the brush lightly onto ink pad and then tapped brush onto scratch paper and then blended the inks for the background, flower and leaves. 

 It gave a smooth blend.

I used new SU ink pads that were quite juicy. I listed the colors in my supply list.

I removed stencil and was very pleased with the depth and texture from the technique.

Next I trimmed the piece and stamped the STAMPlorations Helenium-Lg Hello sentiment using Archival Jet black ink.

I tried framing with a layer of black cardstock, but then thought it was more CAS if 

I trimmed all,  but the left side of frame.  Added a few sequins,  attached to card base and Done!

This was a fun challenge and I am looking forward to using the technique again!

You have until the 24th to play along.  

We would love to see your CAS Stencil cards😊

Love and Hugs and enjoy your Summer, but stay safe!

Supplies:

Stamps: STAMPlorations In Bloom: Heartfelt Hibiscus and Helenium Large sentiment.

CAS Mix Up May Stencil Rainbow Ink Blending Reminder

Time for our CAS Mix Up Stencil Rainbow Ink Blending Reminder 

Challenge hosted by our very talented Susan.

Be sure and check out the beautiful Rainbow colored CAS cards by our talented Design Team and Guest Designer.  You will definitely be inspired!

Using Stencil, Distress Oxide Inks, i-Crafters i-Brushes and Die Cuts.

Die Cut SU Whisper White 100# cardstock with Memory Box Stitched Circle Die then attached my ARTplorations Bloomdala Bliss #5 Stencil over circle using 3M masking tape.  Then the fun began.  

Used Seven of my Ten i-Crafter i-Blending Brushes to blend the Distress Oxide inks.  I Love how the finger dauber brushes are colored so I know immediately,  which brush to use for the different color families.

I started with Candied Apple and went in this order carefully blending the DOX's around the circle image.  DOX: Candied Apple, Spiced marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Peacock Feathers, Mermaid Lagoon, Wilted Violet and Worn Lipstick.

Removed the stencil and LOVED the results😊

Next Die cut a larger stitched circle using SU Tangerine Tango cardstock and glued rainbow image onto colored cardstock.  

Placed SU 100# card base in MISTI and stamped the STAMPlorations Life in Full Color stamp set sentiment using Archival Jet Black ink.

Popped up circle image with craft foam and attached to card base and Done!

I was very pleased with the CAS design and colorful stenciled Rainbow colors.

Hope you get to join us this month at CAS Mix Up Stencil Rainbow Blending.

Thank you Susan for a fun and colorful challenge.

This was my 1st try at stencil rainbow coloring and I loved how both my cards turned out.  I will be using the technique in the future I am sure😀

CAS Mix Up (S) Tone on Tone

Time for a new CAS Mix Up Stencil Challenge: Tone on Tone

hosted by our very talented, Viv.

Be sure and check out our DT and very talented Guest Designer Pat's CAS Cards.

Here is my CAS Stenciled Tone on Tone Card!

I made a rectangle mask by die cutting an acrylic sheet with a Memory Box

Stitched rectangle.  Laid the mask over the SU Whisper White 100# A2 card base and

secured to glass mat with 3M Masking Tape.

I used a makeup brush to add SU "Just Jade" ink to the masked rectangle.

Removed mask and added a 2nd mask I made from the same die set that was one size

larger.  Secured mask with Tape.

Next placed part of the STAMPlorations "Flair" Slimline Stencil" over the sponged 

background and secured with tape.

Used make up brush to add SU "Shaded Spruce" ink to give the 

Tone on Tone effect.  I loved how the light and dark green tones blended together.

 Used a ruler to draw the black frame with a Staedler Black Pen.

Added a STAMPlorations Christmas Clear Sticker "Good Tidings" to a scrap of 

Whisper White 100# cardstock.  Added to my card and instantly

it made a beautiful Christmas Card for my stash:-)

My stencil traced card!

I began by using a #4 paint brush to add Gansai Tambi Pearl Watercolors on Yupo paper.

The Pearl colors give a beautiful subtle sheen to the background.

Used: Lemon Yellow, May Green, Pink, Scarlet Red, and Cobalt Blue for a soft 

rainbow effect.

Then sprayed ARTplorations Prim Pattern Stencil with Pixie Spray,  a light tacky

adhesive.  Placed stencil over Yupo paper and traced with Ultra Fine Point Black Sharpie.

Die Cut background and SU Whisper White 100# CS frame with 

Spellbinders Hemstitch Rectangles Dies. Popped up background with white craft foam.

CAS Mix Up July (S) Stencil Tracing

Time for our July CAS Mix Up Stencil Tracing Challenge.

I am looking forward to hosting our 1st CAS Mix Up Stencil Challenge.

Be sure and check out our CAS Cards by our talented Design Team.

We also have "Three" very talented Guest Designers this month as they all were

This is the 2nd CAS Mix Up Challenge after Loll did some reorganizing to make

her life simpler and the DT girls too.  We are rotating CAS Mix Up, CAS Stenciling and 

CAS Watercolour Challenges in that order and repeating every 3 months.

I did not find any video's for Stencil Tracing online.

Basically you can outline with the stencil left on your image or outline

with the stencil removed.

Just add Stencil Tracing to my blog search to find many card examples in my blog.

Here is my Stencil Traced card.

I found this monoprint stenciled with Brushos Orange, Brilliant Red and Purple

crystal powders image in my Brushos stash.

I had laid the Dina Wakley "Leafy" stencil over Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

Secured with masking tape.  Then sprinkled the Brusho powders onto the paper and spritzed

liberally with water using T.H. Distress Sprayer to make a positive image layer. 

Did not want to waste all the ink on the stencil,  so removed stencil carefully

 and flipped over inky side of stencil onto another piece of MM paper.

Placed paper towel onto the stencil to transfer the ink onto MM paper
to get a monoprint image!

That was the negative monoprint image I found in my stash.

I die cut the piece with Memory Box Stitched Rectangle Die.

I could not line up the "Leafy" stencil,  so used an Ultra Fine Point Black Sharpie

to hand draw around the leaves and frame.

Popped up image with white craft foam and added to die cut SU Very Vanilla CS.

Added layers to Very Vanilla Thick cardbase.

Attached STAMPlorations Clear Sticker "Shine Bright" onto very vanilla scrap and Done!

I was pleased with the CAS artsy look of my card.

Hope you like it too and join us at our 1st CAS Mix Up Stencil Challenge.

You have until the 24th to play along! Hugs..
