Hello! Today I’m showcasing some fun ways to stencil with some tried and true products from The Cat’s Pajamas. I posted this on the TCP blog earlier this week and realized I hadn’t finished my post on my blog....so here it finally is!
As I was perusing through some older TCP products looking for some inspiration, I found these cuties called Yeti to Party that are retired, but oh so cute! I coloured the Monster’s Ink-like pair with Copics and then created a background to match.
I don’t think plaid will ever go out of style in cardmaking. It provides the perfect way to tie colours together. So, I used my TCP Plaid Maker stencil (retired), on my Make Art Station. This board with its magnetic ability has been a game changer for me with stencils! For this design I started with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide ink.
Then I did the diagonal with Wild Honey Distress Ink, and added in Copics for the red and teal lines. I wanted the warm yellow to match better with my one-eyed dude, so I added some Faber Castell Coloured Pencils along that diagnoal to get a more orange tone.
Next is a great design that shows how to stencil, without stencils!
Folk art is a fun trend in cards right now, and this lovely set from TCP called Folk Art Flowers celebrates those iconic floral patterns found in this style.
So what do you do when you don’t have a stencil? Well, its easy to create a temporary stencil from heavy cardstock with coordinating dies! They aren’t as perfect and crisp as a regular stencil because the paper begins to soften and break down, but you can get a soft background effect that I stamped over with the stamps from the set.
In this case, it is a nice colour tie-in to bring the card colours together. For the sentiment, I die cut a circle in the card base and added a vellum layer with embossed sentiment into the card.
Great sweetness for Spring! Bloom, Grow and Blossom friends!
