Heather made this Birthday card using Darcy's Designs cutting file Birthday Stencil Kit. Here is part of her blog post, to see Heathers awesome blog go here:
Stencils with your Silhouette? Oh Yes!
Did you think about creating stencils on your digital cutter? Well, Darcy of Darcy's Designs did! Yes, she's a busy lady! Below is the first card I made using her Birthday Stencil Kit. I colored the balloons with a Q-tip and ink, and then I used a blender pen to blend them in a little bit more. Tied a bow on it, framed it, and called it a day. :-) Very fun, yet simple to do! I can't wait to try other media on the stencils! And more samples to come this week - keep your eyes open ;-)
Heather made the two cards below using Darcy's Designs Block Stencil Kit. Her instructions follow each card.
For these cards I took two blocks of the Block Stencil Kit and enlarged them to 2.5x2.5" each. They come either in the sheet, or as individual blocks, so once I enlarged them and centered them on a rectangle (4.25x5.5") I removed the outline of the block so that the stencil part would stay on the paper I was making for my card. This created the centerpiece, if you will, for my cards.
For the hearts card I cut a frame out using my nesties and cuttlebug and put it over the stencil part. I used a scrap piece of red paper to put behind the hearts. Chalked the border of the paper I cut on my Silhouette and then stamped "love" and added some flowers to the end. Voila!
For this card I followed the same kind of thing as above, but instead of the red paper, I used - get this - a part of the blue plastic bag that covers our paper each week. Good way to recycle, right? :-) I was going for more of a stained glass look. I wanted the blue to really show through, but I wanted it on a black card, so I layered the blue plastic and then white paper behind the stencil (blue plastic on black would've been too dark). Then I added bling, a ribbon, a stamped sentiment and then adhered to the black card and I was done! Well, except that it's hard to write on black, so I put a white piece of paper inside to write a note on.
Below is Heathers creation on black paper using Darcy's Designs Floral Stencil Kit:
The picture didn't come out that great, but I still wanted to post this card. I did this card by using stencils on a black piece of cardstock. You'd never get colors like this using ink! lol My good friend Diane gave me her set of chalks since she wasn't using them anymore, so I had to make her a card using the chalks to thank her :-)
For this card I used the Flower Stencil Kit from Darcy's Designs, SU Stampin' pastels chalk, and PTI's Everday Classics stamp set. In the corners I used an EK Success corner punch. What I did was take the black card stock and I layed it on top of the white cardstock. I lined it up to where I wanted it and softly drew pencil lines in the corners - that way I could line up the corner punch so that I'd get a perfect fit for the cardstock ;-) For the mat behind the seniment I punched out a scallop and then trimmed it to be a mat.
Tools used: SU Stampin' Pastel Chalks, flower stencil, Everyday Classics stamp (PTI), corner punch, scallop punch
