Hello Crafty Friends. Today, I am sharing how to add dimension to your card using diecuts and VersaFine Clair Inks.

Skill Level: Beginner to Intermediate
Time: 30 to 45 Minutes

Directions:

Step 1:
Gather your supplies. You will need several colors of ink, a stencil, a background cover plate, and die cuts for your stenciled image. You will also need VersaMark ink and some clear embossing powder.

Step 2:
Using a grip mat or another sticky mat, lay your panel on the mat and cover with the stencil. Use several colors of ink to color the snowflake. Repeat this process 3 times.

Step 3:
Using the coordinating die, cut out all of the snowflakes you colored along with 6 others out of a heavyweight cardstock. Add the ones cut out of the heavyweight cardstock to the colored ones. This will give you dimension for the snowflakes and will still go through the mail without extra postage.

Step 4:
Stamp the sentiment in purple ink and emboss it with clear powder. For my sample I decided to go with embossing it with silver powder on purple cardstock.

Create a background by using a cover plate die.

Assemble your card.

I created a second card with the left-over pieces.

Imagine products:
VersaFine Clair – Bali Blue, Warm Breeze, Lilac Bloom and Very Peri

Double Stencil Technique Halloween Card

Posted on by

By Ceil Pritchett

Hello crafty friends!
It’s Ceal, here. Today I am sharing a fun technique using stencils. It’s called Double Stenciling or Double Trouble fitting for Halloween, right?

Skill Level: Beginner
Time: 30 Minutes

Directions:

Gather your supplies. You will need two stencils, a Halloween stamp set and a word die cut. You will also need two or three inks. I used one of the newest VersaFine Clair colors along with two of the original ones. A sticky mat, tape or something to hold your stencil in place would be useful as well.

Step 1:
Lay your panel on a sicky mat of tape it down to hold it in place. Lay your first stencil on top and ink it up with VersaFine Clair Monarch.
(As you can see, I don’t usually clean my stencils)

Step 2:
Remove the first stencil and replace it with the second stencil. Ink it up with VersaFine Clair Verdant.

Step 3:
Remove the second stencil and go over the entire panel with VersaFine Clair Lilac Bloom one of our gorgeous new colors.

Afterwards cut the panel down to 5 x 3 3/4

This background reminds me of that old wallpaper you would see in a haunted house.

Step 4:
Stamp, color and fussy cut out the image and word die.

Finish the card by adding the panel to an A2 sized card base and adding the elements placed where you would like them.

Products Used:

 Imagine:
VersaFine Clair: Verdant, Monarch, Lilac Bloom
Memento Markers: Cantaloupe, Grape Jelly, Tuxedo Black ,Gray Flannel and Tangelo
On Point Glue
