Decor Stencils

Sorry I wasn't around for the last few weeks. I had some personal things that came up and kept me away from blogging and a few other things good thing I had a few posts scheduled before hand. In my absence I my blog hit 100,000 page views! How exciting was is that!! Right after the holidays I will post a little blog candy so be sure to check back!

This was a simple card I made for a Non Secret Sister exchange I am doing with my SU Friends group using our Vintage Ornaments decor stencil. I sponged the ornament in real red and then used some stencil paste on the swirl. Before the paste dried I sprinkled on some of the aqua colored glitter from our glitter stacks. I used the vintage wallpaper EF on the pacific point cardstock to give it a bit more texture and then layered it all together! Happy Stamping!!

Decor Stencils

This was another one from my archives that I didn't have a chance to share last year.

I made the tag using the decor stencil Vintage Ornaments I. I used the flourish and spread paste on it, took off the stencil and then let it dry. I then let it dry before I cut it out. It added a nice touch to the glass. Happy Stamping!!

Cub Scout Shirts

As some of you know I also a leader for a Cub Scout pack and one of the activities boys had to do this month was to make a simple stencil and use it on a T-Shirt. So I took the Elegant Trio stencil and used the Fluer-de-lis, after all that is the main emblem for the Scouts. I had the boys trace it onto a stencil sheet which they cut out to use on their shirts.

Some of them came out a little wonky so we used the original to stencil on their shirts instead and sponged on the paint. We used a metallic fabric paint so that's why you see the glittery effect in the picture. After that we wrote their names over the Fluer-de-lis. The boys had a lot of fun AND the now have a class b uniform they can wear. Happy Stamping!

Gift From The Heart

For the last several years I have participated in a gift swap with a Yahoo group I'm with. This year as I was deciding what to do I had made this card:


I liked the concept of the card a thought it would look even better as a door hanger so I made these:



But after making these two I realized it would take me forever to make them with the embossing paste so I used versamark and embossing powder on the rest of them (like the card) and they came out super cute! I hope that they found their gift useful! Happy Stamping!!

Christmas Giftables Class - Project # 6

Here is the last project we made. This is so much more glittery in person!


We took a notebook and altered the cover. We used the vintage ornament stencils and then added the dimensions with embossing paste sprinkled with glitter before it dried. You should see how much it sparkles!!

The next picture is of the little red tote I stenciled using our shimmer paste and then popped a rhinestone brad into to add a bit more bling.

This was part of the free gift everyone got for attending ... I had it filled it up with lots of goodies. Happy Stamping!!

Red Velvety Christmas & Sale

Some of you know in real life I work full time as a retail manager so this is a really busy time of year for ... so between getting ready for "the event" on Friday and preparing for my Christmas Giftable workshop I've had very little time to make anything to share. I do still have a few spots available for my class so contact me if you want to take a spot!! I'll have some super projects to share!! But I did have some time to make this little beauty the other day.

I don't think I will be able to part with this card ... so I'm going to HAVE to make some more!! I just love all the things you can do with our Decor Element Stencils. First I sprayed all my pieces of cardstock with our shimmer paste to add a little extra sparkle to the background. Then I used one of the swirls from the Vintage Ornament set. I slathered stencil paste over it after I dyed it this beautiful red tone. If you look at the small picture on the right you will be able to see all of the texture it created. I also sprinkled dazzling diamonds over it before it dried. Last I added the ribbon and the sentiment!! Isn't it gourgeous!!!! Happy Stamping ... don't forget to check out our sale below!
