What is it Wednesday-4 ways to stencil with paper pumpkin

Have you heard?  The March paper pumpkin kit will include 4 stencils.  In case you are not sure what to do with a stencil, here are 4 techniques I used today in my video.

1. Use a sponge and your favorite ink pad.

2. Use a dobber on one of your fingers to get a different look.

3. Use our new tool, a blending brush for a smooth look.

4. Use a spritzer, rubbing alcohol, and reinker for a totally different look.

Did you know that the part of Paper Pumpkin you might throw away can make a great stencil.  Here are a couple of cards using the leftovers from some leaves.

This next card also features one of the Sale a Bration stamp sets., A Touch of Ink.  This set is free with a $100 order.  I love how it looks with the leaf stencil as background.

Finally, I used the leftovers from a new designer paper that is coming up in March to make a stencil behind each one of the butterflies.

 

I had such fun playing with my stencils.  Share some of your projects that you have used  with stencils.

For this first card I used several items from the Bouquet of Hope paper pumpkin kit

and the Sale A Bration designer paper called Flowers and Fields.  The kit was designed to coordinate with the designer paper.  The paper is available at no cost to you  with a $50 purchase

Make it Simple using the Bouquet of Hope paper pumpkin kit

Time for a new template and a simple card.  This week each card I feature will be made using the February  Bouquet of Hope paper pumpkin kit.

This simple card was made using the following directions.

1. Cut the gold doily in half.

2. Cut one of the cards into strips to use on the card.

3. /Stamp the saying on one of the labels that are part of the kit.

4. Add one of the flower punch outs to complete the card.

Now that was really simple.

This week is also the last week that Sale a Bration is around.  I will be featuring one of the stamp sets that you can receive for free with a $50 or $100 order.
