Merry Christmas Stenciled Card

By Ceil Pritchett

Hello crafty friends!
Today I am sharing how to create this stenciled Christmas card that would be a quick and easy card to make multiples of.

Skill Level: Beginner
Time: 15 to 20 minutes

Directions:

Gather your supplies. You will need several colors of ink; I used a nontraditional color along with the red and green. You will also need Layering stencils, some VersaMark ink, embossing powder and a die cut machine.

Step 1:
Using a grip mat or other sticky mat to hold your panel of white cardstock. Lay you stencil over the panel and ink blend the background color.

Step 2:
Remove the first stencil and place the next stencil over the panel and apply the next color. Since the second stencil is leaves, I used two different colors of green.

Step 3:
Remove the second stencil and lay the next stencil over your panel and apply the next color. With it being berries I used our new color strawberry with is perfect for berries.

Step 4:
Stamp the greeting in VersaMark ink and emboss with white powder. Die cut it out with coordinating die and assemble the card.

StazOn Opaque Ink With BetterPress

By LV Handcrafted

Hello friends! This is Linh (or LV Handcrafted on all the socials). I’m back again with more BetterPress fun!  This time I’m using StazOn Opaque ink in Cotton White and Delicata Silvery Shimmer ink.  The StazOn Opaque ink is wonderful because it’s a solvent based pigment ink that you can use on dark or black cardstock. Look how bright and white that is! It works beautifully with this BetterPress plate and makes a very beautiful holiday card. 

To elevate the design a little bit, I smooshed some Delicata ink onto an acrylic block, watered it down a smidge and painted with it. I did a little partial coloring of the holly berries to add a little contrast to the design. The shimmer is subtle but beautiful and perfect for that extra special touch during the holidays.

Skill: Beginner
Time: 5 minutes
