I’m in love…

December 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment

15 Dec

I am totally in love with the Stencils found in the Definitively Decorative Brochure.  If you don't have one of these catalogs, contact me and I will send one right out to you.  In the meantime, you can see them here, click on the catalog on the right side of this blog (Definitely Decorative).  The stencils are found on pages 28-31…but…there is also a little twist to it…so make sure you read to the end.  I'm sooooooo excited. 

Back in November, I had my Diva Day with my top demonstrators for sales.  On that day I treated them to a day of stamping and product.  They went home (hopefully) filled with ideas to build their business.  We all had a great time.  Anyway, in November, I focused on Stencils (see my previous post about stenciling). 

For my December clubs this year, we've been doing Stenciling.  They are alllllll in love with it and I'm an addict.  I've discovered (and I have not heard of this anywhere else – does not mean it's not been done) but this is my own doing…I just love what I've discovered.

If you don't have the stencils (and I'm still in love with them from the catalog) but if you don't have them, you can make your own!!!  Yes YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN with our Stampin' Up! product. 

You can use the Window Sheets found on page 158 of the Idea Book and Catalog.  There are two weight levels and I use them both for different reasons.  There is the Medium Window Sheet and there is the Thick Window Sheet.  Here are some projects that I've done with both of these sheets.

Thick Window Sheets

Medium Window Sheet

Aren't they pretty (I'm so proud of myself).  Okay so how do you do it?  The first one is done with the Big Shot and the dies and uses the Thick Window Sheets.  I like the thick sheets because it protects the details of the design.  The Medium weight ones are a little flimsier and don't hold the detail as well. 

Here is how you do it…

Okay, I think that is all of it…so how do we make it!

 DSC09944

You will need your big shot (ON SALE FROM ME FROM DECEMBER 11 to DECEMBER 22nd for only $79.95), the thick window sheet and the Tulipe die.  Run it through your machine  (I cut my window sheet the same size as the die.)  There is a blue piece of paper on the window sheet both sides, don't take that off until after you run it through the machine.

DSC09932

First I use painters tape and tape the edges of my cardstock to the grid sheet.  Then postion the newly made stencil over the cardstock and tape that down also.  Sponge your first color on.  In this case I used Sage Shadow.  I used the Color Coach for help with color combos.

DSC09933

Now we are going to add the Handsome Hunter.  This is the WOW part of this technique.  Here is a tip for you…something that I've always done.  Do you see my stamp pads?  In the well of the pad I use a Sharpie Marker and write in what the color of the pad is.  If it wasn't written there, the two pads look identical because they are both green and dark. With this identification, it's so much easier to identify them and not get the colors mixed up.  Anyway, that was just my little tip for you today.  Now onto the techinque.  Take your Handsome Hunter sponge and start rubbing the edges of the stencil.  I leave the middle of the project the original color.  It gives it dimension and it's soooo pretty.

DSC09936

WOW!!!!  Isn't that gorgeous!!!  Add your sentiment from the FYI set and the Handsome Hunter ink.  I then inked up the EnFrancais stamp in Sage Shadow and stamped it over the entire project. 

Adhere your white the black cardstock and then your ribbon.

Now assemble the rest of the card.  For this particular card I used a 10 1/2 by 5 1/2 card (so it will fit in our square envelopes).  The next layer is Basic Black and that is 5 x 5 and the last layer is Whisper White 4 3/4 x 4 3/4.

The final touch is the spritzing of the card with the shimmer paint.  The BEST spritzer is the Stampin' Mist Bottles.  I've used a number of different bottles for spritzing but these are the best.  I emptied out three bottles into the large refill bottle and had three empty containers.  I then filled each container with Rubbing Alcohol and added 1/4 teaspoon of Champagane Mist to the first bottle (and LABELED IT); then the next bottle I filled with alcohol and 1/4 teaspoon of Frost White and the last one with a quarter teaspoon of Platinum.  OOOOOLALA!  Spritz your card all over…go ahead, don't be afraid…just do it!  If you like it keep going spray your face, and clothes…sorry, got carried away!  :0)

Next card…I just love that we can use the punches to make stencils!!!  YES LADIES…USE YOUR PUNCHES FOR STENCILING.   Here we go…

DSC09938

You will need a punch (in this case the ornament punch/,  the Medium weight Window sheet and your card materials.

I use the medium weight with our punches because it's easier on the punches.  You just have to be a little more careful around the edges when sponging.  You follow the same procedure above to achieve the look of this card.  It looks SOOOOOO elegant.  It's NOT a punched or stamped card…it's stenciled czard and it is VERY ELEGANT!  I am in love!  OOOOOO LA LA!

DSC09941

Make sure you leave the center with the sage…it's SOOOO beautiful.  Also when punching this out of the window sheet, make sure you leave enough room around the window sheet to COVER the cardstock  (I made mine 5 3/4 x 4 1/2) so that when you rub the ink on your cardstock, you're not going to run over the window sheet and onto the cs (the window sheet covers all of the cardstock…am I oversaying this?). 

DSC09943

Don't you just love it.  I do.  SPRAY THE HECK out of this with the Shimmer Spray.  And make sure you buy LOTS of bottles of the shimmer paint, it's no longer going to be available after this mini catalog that we know of. 

Ahhhhh I'm so please with my cards today.  Make sure you check here Wednesday so you can see what I did with the SNOWFLAKE PUNCH!   eeeeeeek

Okay before I go and clean up my MESS :0)  I wanted to give you three more tips. 

The first is DON'T forget to do you envelope…ohhhhh how beautiful the outside of your envelope is with this same technique.

Next…you may want to purchase a set of the large Craft Keepers on page 203.  These hold your new stencils so they don't get bent and squished. 

And last…make sure you put a little sticker on the punched or die cut sheets in the corner…They are clear and you LOSE them if you don't!  I sat on mine!!!  Yes yes…i told you I had to go and clean up my stamp room!  YIKES!

So one more thing…I told you about my 12 days of Christmas Special I have the Big Shot on sale for you for only $79.95 (a 20% savings for a total of $20 off).  Hurry, that will be ending soon.

ANNNND, here are the specials for Stampin' Up!  Their 12 Days of Christmas Special Dies are on sale…here they are…so my special and their special!!!  WHAT A DEAL!!!!
