Stencil Patterns and Butterflies


This is a great layout to show off some of the new stencils from SweetStamps.  The top design is 3x6" Tangrams, center - 3x6" Checker Flowers, bottom - Backsplash.  Ranger Distress Ink was used to sponge the colors.  Over the stop of the stenciling molding paste was applied using the stencil 6x6" Encircled Diamonds and once the paste was dry the stencil was replaced and distress ink was applied for color then sticky powder and Micro Fine Glitter was applied.





Aged White enamel was sprinkled on the edges and popped into the toaster oven to melt.  I found a very small one at Salvation Army and it's much easier to use than a heat gun - no fly away powder!

Glitter paper was created using heat and stick and Micro Fine Glitter, one set of butterflies were cut from the glitter paper and a second set from the purple.  Also four backs (this is a two pieces butterfly set) were cut so the glitter paper pieces could be inlaid into the purple outline and just the opposite was also created and I'll have a second set on hand for another project.   

Other supplies:
Paper: Bazzill - purple, all other papers unknown
Ink: VersaMark for embossing, Ranger Distress Ink - tumbled glass, squeezed lemonade, spun sugar, shaded lilac
Tools: Perfect Layers used for spacing the panels, butterflies -  Flutterby #2
Accessories: unknown gems, Paper Glaze for adhesive, Aleene's tacky glue for butterfly assembly and attaching to the card

Stencil Sneak Peek...

Hello!!!  Lisa here today and I thought I would start off this Friday morning with a little sneaky peek at a new stencil that will be released this upcoming Monday!!!! (June 15th!)



Supplies:



This card is another one that you can whip up quickly and make multiples of by changing colors/sentiment. I started by laying my stencil on a strip of cardstock and went over it with distress ink and my blender tool.  I then trimmed it and adhered it to my cardbase.  On a separate cardstock I stamped the floral image and colored it in with colored pencils before I fussy cut it.  I then popped it up with some foam adhesive.  Finally I stamped my sentiment and added my rhinestones.

Make sure you link all of your crafty projects up to our newest challenge: Anything Goes.... seriously ANYTHING!!!!  Link up with a SweetStamps.com and you get a second entry woot woot!

Happy Crafting!

Stencil and Distress Paint

Hello!  Happy Friday!  It's Lisa here with you today and I have created a new clean card to share with you...


To create this card I started by placing my stencil over my paper, then I masked off the stencil so that only a circle showed.  Next I dabbed my distress paint over the open area, removed the masking and let it dry.  While I was waiting on this I stamped, colored and fussy cut the rose and leaves.  I had the gold die cut left over from another project and thought it was a perfect fit.  Once the paint was dry I stamped my sentiment and adhered the floral images and die.  I then finished it with some rhinestones.

Supplies Used:



I hope you will also find some time to join us in our current challenge: Polka dots

Happy Crafting!
