Posted on November 21, 2023 by Imagine

By LeeAnn McKinney

Skill Level: Beginner
Time: 45 minutes

Directions:

Step 1
Cut Cardstock to 8” x 10.5”

Step 2
Line Stencil 1 with the paper using the guides on the stencil.

Step 3.
Using a blender tool of your choice (sponge daubers was my choice) blend VersaColor Fresh Green onto the cardstock.

Step 4.
Line Stencil 2 with the paper using the guides and blend with Delicata Emerald Green

Step 5.
Line Stencil 3 with the paper using the guids and blend with VersaColor Scarlet

Step 6,
Line Stencil 4 with the stencil and this one we are going to use twice, First blend with Delicata Ruby Red

Step 7.
Once completely dry, (just takes a couple minutes) line back up and go over stencil 4 again this time with Shimmer Stix Dauber in Sparkle. This will add just a little sparkle to accent the berries on this wonderful Mistletoe.

Step 8.
Set aside to dry and cut your card bases, I have 4 card bases measuring 4.25” x 5.5”, standard A2, I also cut green and red cardstock to use as a layering panel, they are each 4 ⅛ x 5 ⅜.

Step 9.
Now that my stenciled panel as completely dry, I cut it in half each way, this gave me 4 card panels to make my cards. I stamped the sentiments from various stamp sets on the panels, adhered them all together using Tear It! Tape and my cards were complete.

How To Make Fun Stenciled Card for Summer

Posted on July 20, 2023 by Imagine

By LeeAnn McKinney

– Greetings friends and fellow crafters, it’s LeeAnn here with a Fun Clean Stenciled Card that evokes Summer in my brain. First because living in Florida I always remember beginning of summer getting a Hurricane Tracking Map at the grocery store and mom hanging it on the fridge. Anytime there was a hurricane out in the Atlantic we would track it.

I also love cruising, and have been on many cruises in this area of the Caribbean.

There are a lot of cruisers in the family. I can put a Rhinestone to mark the ports they are visiting and give to them as a Bon Voyage card.
