Stencil Transfer Stamping

 

Welcome

Today, I'm playing with the new Atoms stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and trying out a new technique as I host the TLC over at Splitcoast Stampers I'm calling 

Making Your Stencils into Stamps

Basically, you use your stencil as a stamp...fun to try out.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I looked through my stamps and picked out a larger solid background stamp.  It's important that it's a solid stamp as you will be transferring the stencil design onto the stamp.
• I then laid the Atoms stencil onto my non-stick craft mat and inked up my solid background stamp with some Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide along the top and some Peacock Feathers DOX on the bottom.  Here is what the stamp looks like:
  
  
  
• Next, I pressed the stamp onto the stencil with firm pressure to transfer the pattern onto the stamp and pressed the stamp onto my card front panel.
• I let that dry and then I stamped the fern along one side.
• I stamped the sentiment with some Versamark ink in my Misti and white clear embossed it.
• I mounted the finished panel onto a piece of navy cardstock, then onto a white A2 sized card base.

Welcome

This month's new releases at A Colorful Life Designs are so fun.

For today's card, I used the new Viewmaster and the new Marvelous Masks Postage Stamp.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and placed one of the Marvelous Postage masks over the center of my card front so when I was finished, I would have a nice white border.
• I laid the Viewmaster stencil over that and inked the middle area with some Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink and then some Ripe Persimmon DOX ink around the edges.  
• I shifted the stencil and then inked again using some Picked Raspberry DOX ink.
• I lifted off just the Viewmaster stencil, leaving the mask in place and splattered with my black Posca pen and set aside to dry.
• I removed the mask and placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the flowers and the sentiment.
• To add more interest and a framed effect, I used my Scorboard to add a scored line all around the outer edge of the inking to add extra interest.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of orange cardstock and then onto an A2 sized card base.

Fun Time Birthday

Good Morning.

Today's card features the new for July released Atoms stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

I used this fun stencil in combination with an embossing folder to give it a whole different look.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and embossed it using the Angled Mosaic embossing folder from Altenew.
• I placed the embossed panel onto my Make Art Station and then inked over the Atoms stencil with some Villainous Potion Distress Oxide ink in the center and then some Uncharted Mariner DOX ink over the rest of the panel. By inking over the embossed panel with the stencil, the raised areas are a bit darker and help show the pattern of the embossing adding extra interest.
• Next, I die cut the sentiment from some white cardstock, the shadow from some dark purple and glued them together.
• I glued the stenciled card front onto another piece of dark purple and then onto a whiteA2 card base.
• Finally, I used some foam tape to add the sentiment over the middle of the card.

The Best of Wishes

Welcome

Today's card features the new Atoms stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

I decided to do an ombre inking after I messed up the first panel I was stenciling.  

Glad I could rescue this one, will tell you about it below.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I placed a piece of white cardstock onto my Make Art Station and placed the Atoms stencil over that, turning it to one side so the point was facing outward on my card panel.  I inked that up with some Cracked Pistachio Distress Ink.  
• I continued inking across my card front and then oops....the stencil moved on me and the inking was blurry on the one side.  So I set that aside thinking I would trash it.
• So.....I started all over again inking this time with some Cracked Pistachio and then some Rustic Wilderness DOX ink. To add some depth of colour, I inked the edges of the panel with some Tumbled Glass DOX ink.
• Now, I looked at the piece I had messed up and thought that I could cut it down and use the part that was clearly inked ok, to add interest of my card with a popped up panel.
• I stamped the sentiment and clear heat embossed it on the larger stenciled panel.
• I glued the stenciled card front with the sentiment, onto a piece of white cardstock and then popped the smaller section that I had cut from the oops piece, over to the side with some foam tape, matching up the pattern.
• Finally, I glued it onto an A2 sized card base and added 3 black gems.

Down the Garden Path

 

Welcome

Today's card is featuring the new Arches release from A Colorful Life Designs.

Instead of using the whole stencil to create a background design, I used it create a grid pattern.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of cardstock that was 3 3/4" square.  I measured to find my center point and lightly divided the card base into 4 sections and masked one off.
• I positioned the Arches stencil over the masked area and inked it up with some Ripe Persimmon Distress Oxide ink.  
• I moved the masks to the next section, laid down the stencil and repeated that process again, filling up each of the 4 sections.
• I removed the stencil and all the masks and placed the panel into my Misti to stamp the flowers and the sentiment.
• I glued it onto a piece of orange cardstock, then onto an 4 1/4" square card base.
• I added 3 black gems to bring a bit more attention to the sentiment.

Tuning Into Retro

Good Morning

Today's card was a fun one to create using this new Portal stencil from A Colorful Life Designs and the new to me Music to My Ears stamp set by Catherine Pooler.

I went for a Retro looking card using this vintage radio.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I got out a piece of white cardstock, placed it into my Misti and stamped the Tie Dye using some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide ink.
• I removed the stamped panel, placed it onto my Make Art Station and inked up the Portal stencil over the stamped pattern using some more Hickory Smoke DOX ink.  I took some more of that ink, diluted it with water and used that to splatter the panel to add more interest.
• While that dried, I stamped the radio in black and die cut it out.  I used a grey Copic marker to add some details to the radio.
• I placed the dry stenciled panel into my Misti to stamp the sentiment.  I clear heat embossed it to help make it pop.
• I glued the stenciled piece onto some grey cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base and used some foam tape to pop up the radio in the center.

Just Adding a Smile

Good Morning

Today's card is just a simple, happy feeling one using the new for July stencil called Smiley Faces from 

A Colorful Life Designs.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I began by looking through some of the backgrounds I had previously made and found this fun plaid patterned one.  I had done it using the Markered Turnabout stamp.  I thought the bright colours went perfectly with the smiles.  It was stamped using Distress Oxide inks.
• I laid the plaid onto my Make Art Station and positioned the Smiley Faces stencil over it.  I inked it using some black Memento ink.  
• While that dried, I die cut the 'smile' sentiment from some black cardstock.  This die doesn't come with a shadow/background so I traced around the die on some white cardstock and fussy cut it out to make my own.  
• I glued the plaid panel onto a piece of pale lavender cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop up the sentiment.

The Good Life

Good Morning.

Today's card features the new Viewmaster stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

Have you ever used your stencils to stamp with?

It's a fun technique and easy to do.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock to use as my card front panel.
• Next, I got out one of the solid images from the Paint Swatches stamp set...see it below.

• I inked the stamp up with some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink along the top and then some Candied Apple DOX ink along the bottom.
• Here's where the stamping part comes in.....I pressed the inked solid stamp onto the Viewmaster stencil to pick up the pattern, then stamped it onto my white cardstock.  I love how it transferred the pattern onto the stamp and what a great way to get a different look using your stencils.  You can also see how it transferred the pattern of the paper towels that I had the stencil sitting on top of.
• When the ink was dry, I placed the panel into my Misti and stamped the flowers along the bottom and the sentiment into the right hand corner.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of pink cardstock and then onto an A2 card base.

Good Morning.

Meet this month's new stencil called Viewmaster from A Colorful Life Designs.

So many possibilities.

I paired it up with a June release called Party Lei.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and laid the Viewmaster stencil over that.  I inked it up from the center out using some Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink.
• Leaving the stencil in place, I positioned the Party Lei stencil over it and inked again with the same colours mentioned above.
• I removed both stencils and set aside to dry.
• I stamped the sentiment with some Lumberjack Plaid DOX ink onto some white cardstock and die cut it out.
• I glued the stenciled panel onto a piece of red cardstock, then onto an A2 sized card base.
• I used some foam tape to add the sentiment and added 3 red gems around it.

Painted Hello

Welcome

Today's card features one of the new stencils for July called Layered Arches from A Colorful Life Designs.

I decided to use it in a different way.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I cut a piece of white cardstock and got out the new to me Catherine Pooler Carnivale ink set. I then decided what colours I wanted to use on the panel. I'm using one of the Paint Swatches stamps from the Simon Hurley set to do this technique.

Here is the stamp from the set I used.

• I inked up the smallest stamp from the Paint Swatches set with some Grape Crush and pressed that onto the bricks of the Layered Arches stencil to impress the pattern of the bricks, then stamped it to one side of my panel.
• I repeated that same process, stamping from left to right using some All That Jazz, Samba and finally some Be Mine ink.
• When the panel was dry, I die cut the shadow from the 'hello' die right from the center. I then die cut the word from some white cardstock and glued them together.
• I didn't have any matching blue cardstock to use as a border, so I inked up another piece of white cardstock with some All That Jazz ink and glued the finished panel onto that.
• I glued that onto an A2 sized card base and used some foam tape to pop the sentiment back into place over the panel.

Happy Canada Day!!

Today's card is just filled with fun.

I used the new Atoms stencil from A Colorful Life Designs.

So, here's what I did to create my card.

• I decided to use the 'Joseph's Coat' technique for my card so I began with a piece of white cardstock and inked that up from left to right with these Distress Oxide inks...Mustard Seed, Ripe Persimmon, Picked Raspberry, Lumberjack Plaid, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers.
• I dried the inked panel and then placed it onto my Make Art Station.  I positioned the Atoms stencil over the background and inked it up with some Versafine Clair Black ink and clear heat embossed it.
• While the panel cooled, I die cut the sentiment in white and glued it to the black shadow.
• I glued the panel onto a piece of black cardstock and then onto an A2 white card base.
• I used some foam tape to pop the sentiment along the bottom and added 3 black gems.
