One Stencil Two Ways

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing two cards using the Fading Tiny Dots Stencil. Each card is using the stencil in different way to create a different look. Below you will find the steps to create your own cards.

Card #1

Step 1 - Trim White Cardstock to 7” x 6”, score at 3 1/2” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (Mini Slimline)

Step 2 - Trim White Cardstock to 3 1/4” x 5 3/4”. Apply Inks of your choice using a Blending Brush. I used Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks in rainbow order starting with Cheeky, Peachy, Lemonade, Celery and Seafoam. Optional - Sprinkle some water for an oxidized look.

Step 3 - Dry Emboss Fading Tiny Dots Stencil using the panel created in Step 2 in a Die Cutting Machine. Make sure to use the right sandwich for your machine. Adhere to card using Foam Tape.

Step 4 - Diecut Thankful For You Using White Cardstock for the base and Inked Cardstock to the Thankful. Inks are Lemonade and Celery. Assemble using Bearly Art Precision Glue and adhere to card using Foam Tape.

Step 5 - For added interest and shine randomly adhere Pearl Mix in the same color range as a rainbow using a Pick Up Tool and Bearly Art Precision Glue. I used Ballerina Pink, Apricot, Bumble Bee, Mint Green and Seafoam Pearl Mix.

Card #2

Step 1 - Trim White Cardstock to 7” x 6”, score at 3 1/2” and fold in half for a vertical side fold card. (Mini Slimline)

Step 2 - Trim White Cardstock to 3 1/4” x 5 3/4”. Apply Inks of your choice using a Blending Brush. I used Simon Says Stamp Pawsitively Saturated Inks in rainbow order starting with Cheeky, Peachy, Lemonade, Celery and Seafoam.

Step 3 - Place Fading Tiny Dots Stencil on top of the panel created in Step 2. Apply the same ink colors as the background using a Blending Brush.

Step 4 - Adhere 4 strips of Red Line tape to the backside of the panel to each edge created in Step 2. Remove the release sheet to three sides and place a piece of cellophane packaging making sure to secure the corners. Add in a sequin mix and remove the last release sheet and close. I used Tutti Fruiti, 12th Man and Spring Leaves Sequins. Now you have a flat edge to edge shaker. Secure it to the front of the card using Red Line Tape.

Step 5 - Diecut Small Script Trio (hugs) 3 times. 2 times using White Cardstock and 1 time using Gold Matte Cardstock. Assemble each layer and adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue. 

Step 6 - Stamp Heartfelt Sentiments (and kisses) using Pawsitively Saturated Ink in Celery. Make sure to use a piece of washi tape to cover (Love) if you just want (and Kisses). Trim sentiment and adhere to card using Bearly Art Precision Glue.

I love stretching my supplies and getting different looks from the same stencils, stamps or dies. Below is a link to all the products used. Thank you for stopping by and Happy Crafting!
