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!

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😀

STAMPlorations April 2021 Stencil Extra Challenge

Time for our STAMPlorations April Stencil Extra Challenge.

ARTplorations Slimline Riotous Blooms Stencil.

Bee's Knees Layered Butterflies.

 I am loving this wonderful Slimline Riotous Blooms Stencil.
I secured the stencil on my glass mat using 3M masking tape. Then used Distress Oxide Inks and applied diagonally using i-Crafter's
i- Brushes to blend the colors.  

Removed stencil and used MISTI to stamp the butterflies with Archival Jet Black ink.  Stamped the sentiments from the same set and added a bit of embellishment with SU White Perfect Accents to the center of some of the flowers.

Attached layer to SU Cucumber Crush 4" x 9" card base and Done!
I was very happy with the Springtime Slimline design.

We would love to have you join us at STAMPlorations.
