STAMPlorations December Stencil Challenge

Time for STAMPlorations December Stencil Challenge: Anything Goes as long as you use at least one Stencil by any company,  but we love when you use one or more STAMPloration stencils:-)

Clear Stickers Joy to the World

Monika Skinner Designs Circle Flexi-Templates

ARTplorations Sanna Lippert Designs Christmas Tree 1

CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies

I chose an Ranger Alcohol Ink on Yupo paper background from my stash.  Next die cut the background with "Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies" using the 2nd to largest die from the set.

Then placed the "Christmas Tree 1" Stencil over 100# white cardstock and secured with masking tape.  Used sponge dauber to apply Versamark thru the stencil.

Removed stencil and heat embossed with Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze (Cracked Pistacchio).  

Next placed "Circle Flexi-Template" over part of the trees.  Then used makeup brushes to blend Distress Oxide blue shades.  Added a larger Circle Flexi-Template and added green Distress Oxide inks.  I loved Monika's Flexi-Templates.  So easy to add the blended circle colors.

Used a stitched circle die to cut down the circle to fit on the background.

Added the Clear Sticker: "Joy to the World" and popped up the circle image with craft foam and attached to alcohol ink background,  which I had attached to the 100# cardbase and Done!

I just discovered a new to me Split-4 Stamping Technique, which gives you 4 cards.

I changed it up a bit and used a Stencil instead of stamps.

I used the new CRAFTplorations Stencil by Sanna,  "Christmas Wreaths",

  which worked out really well! 

I will be sharing several photos showing the Split-4 Stenciling Technique using

STAMPlorations Products.

STEP 1

8 1/2" X 11" White 100# CS

Trim to 8" X 10 1/2"

Score at 4" and 5 1/4"

Step 2

Secured Sanna "Christmas Wreath" Stencil with masking tape.

Used Distress Oxide Inks and Make Up Brushes for ink blending.

Step 3

"Christmas Wreath"  Stencil after using

make up brushes and eye shadow applicators to blend inks.

Step 4

Removed Stencil and loved the beautiful Christmas Wreaths!

You can see the scored lines.

Step 5

Cut scored lines with paper cutter for 4 card fronts.

Then attached to red card stock and white card bases.

Added CRAFTplorations Clear Stickers and outlined stickers.

Traced Wreath images with black Ultra fine Sharpie and 

added Wink of Stella for Shimmer!

All Done!

Finished Cards!
