Where did the summer go? Kids are back in school, with all the
insanity that goes with it, vacations are a not-so-distant memory, and
it is once again time to get busy with the important things in
life...crafting for the holidays! Yay! All of September the
Dream Team will be featuring all the
new goodies we have for the
"Most wonderful time of the year", the fall and winter holiday season. New
stencil designs, new
dies, and...brand new, soon-to-be-released
embossing folders featuring some of our top-selling designs, all to be found on-line through the
Stencil with Style web-site, or your local papercrafting store.
Here's my holiday inspiration for this week:
This card features our new
Chevron background stencil, embossed in
Glossy Red paste on a white cardstock panel. Over the top is a red panel with the
Ornament Joy stencil paste-embossed in
Glossy White. So simple. The perfect design for
"power pasting"! "What's that?", you say? Here's a short tutorial:
 |
| Supplies: Paste, stencils, palette knife, spreader, removable tape |
 |
| Place one strip tape on one edge, then... |
 |
| second strip back to back to create hinge. |
|
 |
| Tape on remaining sides over cardstock. |
 |
| Use palette knife to place paste on edge of spreader the same width as stencil. |
 |
| Pull paste across with one motion at slight angle. Fill holes if necessary, and make a second pass to remove excess. |
 |
| Lift stencil away using hinge-piece. Place new panel underneath, and continue. |
|
 |
| You can get 4-5 panels before needing to stop and clean your tools. |
|
 |
| Once your panels are dry, just layer them and embellish! |
