How to Stretch a Stencil for a Slimline Card

By on November 14, 2020 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a fun project and video for you…I’m sharing how to “stretch” a stencil to fit on a Slimline card. This is a fun and easy process and you can use almost any stencil you have.

I’m using Miss Ink Stamps & stencils to show you how; watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:

Aren’t these gnomes cute?!

For the background, I chose six Distress Inks to match my gnomes that I already colored with Copic Markers. The Inks I used are: Festive Berries, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Evergreen Bough, Speckled Egg, and Dusty Concord.

If you like making slimline cards, keep this technique in your back pocket! Look for stencils you already own that have a repeating background and give it a try.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Once Upon a Dream

By on March 17, 2019 in Paper Crafting

Hello…I’m here with one more card for the Lawnfawnatics card challenge: inspired by a book, movie, or song!

Today I was inspired by Sleeping Beauty and I have a TALL card to share. I had to make this a tall card just so I could fit all the elements onto my card. Lol.

Do you recognize Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather? There’s also of course, Malificent at the top! And the owl with his animal friends represents the prince! If you have seen the animated version, you know that she is dreaming of her prince and her animal friends create this rendition of the perfect man!

I drew the boots and the cape myself, but the rest of the characters are from the following Lawn Fawn sets:

Screen Time (for Malificent)
Life Is Good (for the castle)
Fairy Friends (for Flora, Fauna, and Merryweather)
Critters in the Arctic (for the owl)
Open Me (for the birds)
Coaster Critters (for the small rabbit and squirrel)
Cole’s ABCs (for the die cut letters that spell DREAM)

Not Bad….only 7 sets this time! Lol.

Extra points if you guess why I did the background with pink and blue!!
It’s a nod to the end of the animated Sleeping Beauty when the fairies couldn’t agree on what color dress she should have, so they kept changing it to BLUE then to PINK and back to BLUE… Lol.

I know you…I walked with you Once Upon A Dream
Flora, Fauna, & Merryweather

For the background I used Distress Oxides, then I splattered on some white paint. Then to make the “magical sparkles” I used a white gel pen to add a million little dots. Lol.

I hope you enjoyed my Inspired By….Sleeping Beauty card today. I just realized how ironic it is that there is no sign of Sleeping Beauty herself on this card. I guess she’s inside the castle!

Linking up to the Lawnfawnatics Challenge here.

Thanks for stopping by!
