Stencil love - 3 cards

Hi... Hello..
Crafty friends...

I am Swapna from The Dream Pages, I hope you are playing along this month's challenge which is LAYERS

Hope you are enjoying our blog posts from all fellow DTs. This is my second detail post for this month for PABD and its mainly on STENCILS. Sometimes its tricky to add layers in CAS cards but its fun to challenge yourself to do so. When the post is about stencils then lets talk about these stencils a bit.

These are 8.5*8.5" stencils which allow you to cover larger area so these can be used to make 5*7" cards also and for Mixed media too.

Now coming to my projects

Card 1

I have a small, behind the screen story for this card.
To be frank I was not sure about this card. My fellow Dt Ria have designed this stamp and after July release she asked me 'Did you like Humming blooms' set n particularly bird images? I said liked but I might not do justice with birds so I will use only flourish from the set. Then I thought WHY NOT TRY birds. So decided to make this card.

* My first step was to keep the card base ready, so i took a black top folding card base. I secured the base to my work surface along with stencil. Applied texture paste concentrating towards centre portion of the base. Left it air dry.

* I stamped and coloured the small bird from the set on water colour paper and coloured in rainbow theme. Then fussy cut the image. I used wink of stella for blending colours and to add shimmer to the image

* Heat embossed the custom sentiment on black CS.

* Mounted bird and sentiment with foam tape.

Card 2

I will try my best to explain this card.

* I took 15*7" CS, scored at 5 and 10".

* Partial die cut on each flaps using the stitched oval dies.

* Placed the stencil on one flap and applied SSS lavender ink and on other flap I applied hero arts white pigment ink. While placing the stencil on other flap I made sure the design that the design continues.

* Cut white CS with second large and second small stitched oval die. Stamped image with same SSS ink. Coloured the image with colour pencils. Stamped sentiment with Versafine black onyx ink.

* Glued large oval inside card. Mounted small oval in the front.

Card 3

After doing 2 cards I was thinking to do one more card with our third stencil. Thought to keep it simple.

* Placed the stencil over a white CS. Used two distress inks to blend.

* Trimmed it 0.5 cm on all sides so that it can fit on the card base.

* Stamped the sentiment with black ink. Applied black wink-of-stella for shimmer and Glossy accent for gloss.

* Die cut a heart, applied wink of stella and glossy accent.

Thats it..

Hope you liked my work..

Peek-a-boo-designs - First DT post

Hi..

Friends..

I am so happy to share this with you, I am one of the new design team member at Peek-a-boo-designs. Its a new journey in my crafting life.

For my very first post I made two cards with their new stencils.

These stencils are of good quality. What i liked most is size of these stencils. I prefer making 5x7* cards where as the stencils available for cards are smaller. So I was not able to cover entire card front. But these are bigger which can fit a 5x7* card front vertically,horizontally and even diagonally.

Now coming to my cards. I made two cards with their 2 of their stencils.

Card 1

Its a simple 2 colour card. I kept it simple and less colour.

# I placed stencil over a white CS and used hickory smoke ink.

# Then placed stencil over black CS and applied texture paste.

# After texture paste dried, I trimmed the CS so that it matches the design on white CS.

# Stamped sentiment from Magical Fairies with black onyx ink.

# Mounted all panels on each other with foam sheet.

Card 2

As earlier card was monochromatic I thought of making something colourful.

# Placed stencil over a white CS , used distress inks (wild honey, picked rasberry, peacock feathers)

# Then used brand new rectangle stitched dies from PABD. I placed dies randomly on inked panel and die cut it.

# I placed the middle die cut piece upside down and stamped sentiment ( Positive Vibes).

# Mounted these pieces on black CS and then on white card base with foam sheet.

Double masking - Anniversary card

Hi...

friends...

I made this simple card for a friend. I cut out a heart shape from a masking paper and then placed it on a black piece of card stack. Over the masking paper i placed and secured the stencil n applied embossing paste. Removed the stencil n sprinkled rock candy glitter over it, flicked off excess glitter.

Then heat embossed the sentiment on a black strip of card stack n glued it flat on the main panel.

Stamped the butterfly, fussy cut and applied glossy accent n left it to air dry. Then glued it on the panel. Mounted the main panel on white card base with foam tape.

here is my card
