I’m so happy you’re joining me today for the TOTALLY TECHNIQUES BLOG HOP – we are creating stencils with dies – doesn’t that sound like fun? You’ll find a video tutorial showing you how to do it here:
This is an easy and fun way to make the most of your dies. You get a whole new perspective when you can create even more with your tools. A blending brush, ink and a die of your choice will get you started.
This card uses the oval frame die to create a pretty image on this card front. Not a lot of fuss – this is what I would call a CLEAN & CRISP design. I used Pool Party ink and the same for the card base.
Dimensions:
- Pool Party — 4 1/4″ x 11″
- Basic White — 3 7/8″ x 5 1/8″ (inside) & 3 3/4″ x 5″ (front panel for stenciling)
This one uses the negative of the oval frame die to create a soft and pretty background on the Basic White front. I then used a Sponge Dauber, Silicone Craft Sheet and glue to attach the intricate die to the blended background of the stencil.
Dimensions:
- Fresh Freesia — 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
- Basic White — 2 @ 4″ x 5 1/4″ & scrap for die cut
Here’s a close up of the pretty WINK OF STELLA GLITTER BRUSH action – it is the finishing touch on projects for sure!
I was so happy to be able to use the die cut and the negative (left over) of the die to make two different cards. Which one is your favorite?
