ARTplorations Peeking Sunflowers Slimline Stencil.

Clear Stickers Shine Bright

The ARTplorations Peeking Sunflowers Slimline Stencil has been a favorite of mine,

since day one💕 If you type in "STAMPlorations Slimline Stencils" into my 

 Search in Blog box you can view more of my STAMPlorations Slimline Stencil Cards.

I began by cutting a 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" mini slimline card base using SU 100# Basic White

Cardstock.  Then cut a 3 1/2" x 6 1/2" card front and secured my

ARTplorations Peeking Sunflowers Slimline Stencil using masking tape.

Then the fun began using i-Crafters Blending Brushes to blend 

Ranger Distress Oxide Inks:

Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber and Vintage Photo.

Then removed stencil and fussy cut the sunflowers to fit the card front.

Next cut a piece of Ink Drops "Ocean" Craft Paper 3 1/2" x 6" and attached to

card front.  Attached sunflowers and then heat embossed the center of the flowers with

Versamark and Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze Vintage Photo.

Then Added 3 "Shine Bright" Clear Stickers and Done💞

I was very pleased with the results.

This is a Thinking of You card for a dear friend.

Thank you for visiting and hope you can play along too with your stencils.

Love and Hugs,

STAMPlorations March Stencil Challenge

Time for our STAMPlorations Stencil Challenge💕

February is always a month off for all our STAMPlorations Challenges.

We are now all back and looking forward to inspiring you

with our awesome STAMPlorations Products😄

I was inspired by a few Spring flowers at home beginning to bloom💕

ARTplorations Slimline Riotous Blooms stencil.

CUTplorations Skinny Sentiments Dies.

Close Up of  Shine

I had such fun designing my ARTplorations Slimline Riotous Blooms stencil card.

I attached the slimline stencil to SU Basic White 100# 4" x 9" cardstock using masking

tape.  Then used i-Crafters blending brushes to add the Distress Oxide Inks

thru the stencil.  

I used these Distress Oxide Inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Mustard Seed, 

Spiced Marmalade,Candied Apple, Picked Raspberry, Wilted violet and shaded Lilac.

I kept layering the colors until I was happy with the results and 

then removed the stencil.

Next I let my card front dry and then took it outside to spray with "Sheep 

Shimmer Craft Spray (Frost).  I let it dry and loved the shimmery watercolor effect.

Next I used CUTplorations Skinny Sentiments Dies for the sentiment.

I die cut the shadow layer using Ink Drops "Vivid" designer paper.

Then die cut the letters with SU Basic White and attached with Connect Glue.

I attached the stenciled card front to Basic White card base and Done!

I was very happy with the results and Loved the shimmer and Spring colors.

You have until the end of the month to play along.

We would love to have you join in the fun at STAMPlorations Stencil Challenge.

Love and Hugs..

ARTplorations Sanna Lippert Designs Barley Stencil

CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangles Nesting Dies

Happy Happy-Clear Stickers

I chose a favorite ARTplorations Sanna Lippert Designs Barley Stencil

for a mixed media October Autumn Stenciled Style Card!

I do Love the Fall Season and Fall colors😊

I used a Tone on Tone Blending Technique to add Distress Oxide inks to 

Strathmore Mixed Media paper.

I used these DOX inks: Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, Vintage Photo

 and Bundled Sage.  Applying the ink with makeup brushes and continuing to blend the colors

until I was happy with the background.

Next I spritzed the card front with water using Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer and

blotted dry with paper towel.  Loved the added subtle texture.

Then placed the stencil over the card front and secured with 3M Masking Tape.

Dabbed the stencil with Clear Versamark and Heat Embossed with Distress Embossing Glaze.

Using: Fossilized Amber, Antique Linen, Crackling Campfire, Weathered Wood and Rusty Hinge.

I let the glaze powders mix with each other and then heat embossed.

I saved the leftover mixed powders in a tiny jar and named Fall colors:-)

The colors and shine are beautiful.

Then die cut the card front with 

CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangles Nesting Dies.

I made a small background with the same Distress Inks , spritzed with water, trimmed

and added the Happy Happy-Clear Stickers sentiment and popped up with craft foam.

Next attached card front to SU Pear Pizzazz Cardstock and Done!!!

Enjoy and Happy Autumn Season and Colors, my friends.

Love and Hugs....

Shirley The Bee's Knees STAMPlorations Christmas Reindeer (sentiment)

Sanna Lippert Designs ARTplorations Christmas Wreaths Stencil

CUTplorations Basic A2 Stencils Nesting Dies

I used another alcohol ink background from my stash.  I am so happy that I made a bunch of alcohol ink backgrounds using what I thought would work for possible Christmas cards.  It sure makes for easy card designs:-)

I die cut the panel with one of the Basic A2 Stencils Nesting Dies.  Then attached my Sanna Christmas Wreaths Stencil over the panel and secured with masking tape. This was my 1st time to outline only 1/2 of the stencil and include the small wreath.  Then outlined the leaves and berries thru the stencil with an 03 Black Art Pen.

Removed stencil and used Derwent watercolor pencils to color in the red berries and then colored berries with Prismacolor pencils for richer dark red berries.

I then used Staedler black pen to outline all the leaves and berries.  

I popped up the panel using craft foam and attached to die cut red cardfront that I had die cut with the Basic A2 Stencils Nesting Dies.  Love this set.  There are 10 dies in the set.  I then nested 2 of the nesting dies to make a thin black CS frame for the panel.  

Stamped the sentiment from the Christmas Reindeer stamp set onto white cardstock,  trimmed and popped up with craft foam,  attached to cardbase and Done!

Enjoy and Happy Holidays,  dear friends.  May 2021 bring control of the pandemic through out the world and Peace.  Love and Hugs..

ARTplorations Bloomdalascopic stencil 

Scroll down to Bloomdalascopic  #5.  There are 8 Bloomdalascopic stencil!

Sprayed the back of the ARTplorations Bloomdalascopic #5 stencil
with Pixie Spray light tack adhesive.

 Then laid the stencil over a piece of SU Whisper White 100# CS

Secured with masking tape.

Next used a palette knife to spread Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo
over the stencil and spread smooth and thin with palette knife.
Let dry an hour.  Still a bit sticky when dry.

Next cut a piece of Rainbow Deco Foil large enough to cover stencil.
Rainbow side up.
Smoothed out with my hand and placed in Big Shot with an extra cardstock shim.

Then rolled thru Big Shot 3 times and very carefully removed the top
layer of the rainbow deco foil.  Laid the negative layer aside for a future card:-)

Trimmed the beautiful deco foil covered stenciled image with scissors and
attached to SU Whisper White 100# CS using Connect Glue.

Added a CUTplorations Die cut word: Hugs that I stacked with 3 layers

Another Ranger Alcohol Ink background from my stash using Sailboat Blue and Mermaid.

 I laid my "Tapestry" stencil over a piece of Yupo paper and

secured with masking tape.  Then dripped Alcohol inks thru the stencil.

You do not get perfect stencil images,  but a cool artsy look.

I die cut the background with a "Basic A2 Panels Nesting Die".

Then  placed Tapestry Stencil over the Alcohol Ink background and

traced with Ultra Fine Tip Sharpie Pen.

I really liked the artsy look and color combo.

Popped up panel with White Craft Foam onto cardstock and

stamped and fussy cut "Life in Full Color" sentiment and attached.

STAMPlorations December Stencil Challenge: Anything Goes

Time for the STAMPlorations Stencil Challenge Reminder.

You still have until the end of December to play along:-)

Here are the Guidelines for the Challenge and Prizes!

I decided to make a Birthday card for a December birthday.  Enjoy!

Leaf Prints Stencil

Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies,  Skinny Sentiments Dies

I am Loving the "CUTplorations Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies" set.  My card front and both 

panels were cut by 3 of the sizes of dies in the set.  They add a beautiful clean

beveled edge to each panel.  A very versatile set with "9" dies:-)

I used ARTplorations "Leaf Prints Stencil" with Brushos Brilliant Red and Orange pigment

powder inks.  I placed the stencil over mixed media and secured with masking tape. 

Then spritzed with water to blend the inks.  Carefully removed masking tape

then turned the stencil over and laid onto another card front to get a stencil monoprint

image for a future project.

After backgrounds dried I die cut the positive image panel and popped up with 

white craft foam and attatched to card base.  Then cut a small panel from

the monoprint piece, die cut  and popped up with foam and placed next to 1st panel.

Next used CUTplorations "Skinny Sentiments Dies" to die cut the sentiment from

the monoprint image and attached to panel.  A fun bold artsy look!

Be sure and check out all the gorgeous projects by all the other Stencil Girls!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, dear friends.  

Thank you also for all your thoughtful and much appreciated Comments!
