STAMPlorations June Stencil Reminder

Time for our June Stencil Extra Challenge projects at STAMPlorations!

This is our Last Stencil Challenge...Until September when we will be back after our Summer break!

We would love to have you join the fun.  Anything Goes as long as you use one or more stencils!

Here is my card using

ARTplorations by Helen G Rubber Bands Stencil.

Craft Supplies Clear Stickers Happy Happy.

STAMPlorations Leafy by Dee's Artsy Impressions.

I began by sponging the SU Basic White 100# cardstock with Distress Oxide Inks using i-Crafter i-Brushes.  I used Crack Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean and Squeezed Lemonade.

Then attached with 3M masking tape the ARTplorations Helen G's Rubber Bands Stencil to the sponged cardstock.  Then blended DOX Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers thru the stencil.

Removed Stencil.  Placed sponged card front in Misti and stamped the leaves from the Leafy  stamp set

with Versafine black ink and heat embossed with SU Clear Embossing Powder.

Trimmed card front and added the Happy Happy Clear Sticker sentiment over 100# white cardstock and trimmed and attached to Black Basic cardstock for a frame.  Added a black narrow border for fun and attached card front to SU 100# card base and Done!

Enjoy and hope you join us for our last Stencil Challenge until September.

Wishing you a safe and wonderful Summer.

Love and Hugs..

Clear Stickers New Day

CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangles Nesting Dies.

I stenciled ARTplorations Helen G's "Make Marks 4" on Strathmore Mixed Media using

make up brush to blend Distress Oxide Cracked Pistachio and Lucky Clover inks.

Of course I could not waste all the ink on the stencil so spritzed with water and

flipped the stencil over onto

another piece of MM paper and placed a paper towel over the stencil and rubbed 

with my hand to spread the inks.  Now another background for a future project:-)

Next used one of the Hearts from the "Zen Hearts" stencil over Mixed Media and

watercolored with Zig markers and water brush. When dry removed stencil.

Then used Ultra Fine Tip Black Sharpie to outline the heart images and heart border.

Fussy cut and set aside.

Die cut border for the monoprint background with Crazy Double Running 

Stitch Rectangles Nesting Dies.  Attached heart,  added 2 sticker sentiments.

Punched 2 butterflies out of Alcohol Ink on Yupo scraps.

Popped up butterflies, added Wink of Stella to heart and Done!

pleased with the results:-) I did use Pixie Spray light tack adhesive under stencil.

I then die cut the framing and popped up the center die cut with foam and attached

to SU Whisper White 100# cardbase. Added the Clear Stickers and Done!

ARTplorations All Blooms Stencil. 

CUTplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.

Clear Stickers Spring Magic.  Shaker Blends Sequins.

When I blended the Distress Oxide Inks using the All Blooms Stencil for my March 1st STAMPlorations launch card I did not want to waste all the inks on my stencil so I spritzed 

the stencil with water and placed over Strathmore Mixed Media A2 card front 

and pressed with a paper towel to transfer the ink.  

I was pleased with the monoprint image,  so designed this card by die cutting the image 

with Cutplorations Crazy Double Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies.

Using a larger frame from the Rectangle Nesting Dies,  I die cut a 

SU piece of Rich Razzleberry Core-dinations CS (ret) to frame the monoprint image.

Popped up the monoprint using white craft foam onto colored cardstock

and attached to SU Whisper White #100 card base.  

Added the Inspirations #1 Clear Sticker sentiment and a few STAMPlorations

After taking the month of February off all our Challenge Design Team Girls

are looking forward to having you join us with your creative March Stencil projects.

As always our Stencil Challenge is Anything Goes using a stencil or stencils in your project.

Here is my card using the beautiful New 

ARTplorations: All Blooms and Clear Stickers: Inspirational #1

ARTplorations: All Blooms and Clear Stickers: Inspirational #1

I sprayed the back of the stencil with light tack Pixie Spray and placed over SU 

Whisper White 100# cardstock.  Secured edges of stencil with masking tape.

Then the fun began...I used make up brushes to blend Distress Oxide Inks

on all the flowers.  I will list all the colors I used in my supply list.

Then removed stencil and carefully laid the colored All Blooms card front 

to the side of my work area.

I did not want to waste all the beautiful inks on my stencil,  so spritzed with water

and placed over another card front rubbing carefully with a paper towel 

to transfer the ink.  

I trimmed my stenciled colored card front to fit a horizontal A2 card and

attached with adhesive, then added an Inspirational #1 Clear sentiment and Done!

I loved how my card turned out and will be finishing my monoprint image into

a card for our Stencil Reminder Challenge.  Be sure and check out the DT Girls

STAMPlorations December Stencil Anything Goes Challenge

Time for our year ending December 2019 STAMPlorations Stencil Anything Goes Challenge!
Our STAMPGirls will be sharing Reminder projects on Dec. 15th, 2019.
Our next Stencil Challenge will be January 1, 2020!

We would love for you to play along!  You do not have to use STAMPlorations products,
but we love it when you do:-)

Here are the Challenge Guide Lines and Prizes!

 

Basic A2 Panels Nesting Dies,
Autumn Falling Stencil and Skinny Sentiments Dies.

I began by laying my "Autumn Falling Stencil" over mixed media paper 

that I had die cut with CUTplorations Basic A2 Panels Nesting Die.  

Then secured stencil with masking tape.

  Next sprinkled Bisters pigment ink powders over stencil 

and spritzed with water to blend the colors and reconstitute the inks.

I used Yellow, Red and Mahogany inks. Loved the color combo!

Then carefully lifted the stencil and removed tape and turned over the stencil onto

another A2 die cut piece of mixed media paper to transfer the excess ink.

I laid a paper towel over stencil and gently moved and blended the wet ink with my hands.

I used the paper towel to carefully blot excess ink from the original positive 

stenciled mixed media layer and the 2nd monoprint layer.

I will save the positive stenciled mixed media image for a future project.

Steps for designing finished card:
1) Die cut A2 background and 2 smaller panel dies with "A2 Panels Dies:. 
2) Die cut white craft foam for the 2 largest panels using same dies.
3) Attached foam to A2 background and 2nd panel and attached to card base.
4) Inlaid 3rd smaller panel.
5) Die cut Hello using CUTplorations "Skinny Sentiments" Dies. I am loving the "Skinny
Sentiments
Sentiments" Dies, which has 7 words and 7 shadow backgrounds:-)

Done!  Thank you for reading all my description:-) Hugs..

STAMPlorations November 15, 2019 Reminder Stencil Anything Goes Challenge

STAMPlorations November Stencil Reminder Post.

Time is flying by,  with more inspiring stencil projects by our awesome DT!

Leaf Prints Stencil

Happy Happy-Clear Stickers

Crazy Running Stitch Rectangle Nesting Dies

I am Loving Shery's Clear Stickers products.  I have several sets and have been using

them often.  So quick and easy to add to a finished card.  Here is the link

to the 29 (so far) Clear Sticker sets:-)

The Happy Happy set includes 4 different Birthday sentiments with a total of 32

Birthday Stickers.

Now onto my card...I added drops of Quinacridone Nickle Azo Gold and Green shades of

Acrylic paints to my Glass Mat, sprayed with water then brayered to blend.

Placed mixed media paper over paints and pressed down to cover paper with paint.

Quickly placed "Leaf Prints Stencil" over painted paper before paint dried and

used baby wipes to lift color from leaf images.  When dry I die cut the

background into 2 pieces to create 2 finished cards.

I added White Craft Foam to both backgrounds and attached to textured Card Base.

Easily added the Clear Sticker "Happy Happy" sentiments and Done!

I really had fun with this baby wipe technique and loved both cards.

Here is my 2nd card

Enjoy and hope you get to join us at STAMPlorations November Stencil Challenge.

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