One More Use For Dies & Punches - Creating Masks!

In this video, I'll share another use for the dies and punches in your collection - creating masks and stencils! I know you love finding new ways to use the products in your collection, and this will give you another great use for your dies. You can create masks by using acetate window sheets and cutting them out with dies. This will create masks and stencils which you can keep in your collection to use with blending brushes, sponges, or spritzers to create beautiful backgrounds or nice focal points for your card projects. Watch along to see the beautiful cards we can make using this technique!

Great cards. I haven't watched the news since 2020. It was making me ill. Now my focus is on Jesus. God bless you. Xx

[@k3of5ks]

Beautiful cards but even more beautiful is the message at the end. Thank you!💌

[@silviabuse7289]

WOW !!! das sieht ja toll aus. Werde es jedenfalls nach basteln. Eine tolle Technik. Vielen Dank fürs zeigen. 🌹🌺🌹🌺🌼

[@kerriegood1046]

The leaf background is stunning. Loved it. Very clean and simple

[@carollannebellar8373]

I am reminded of a song we sang as kids… “Be careful little eyes what you see. Be careful little ears what you hear. Be careful little feet where you go. For our Father up above is looking down in love.”

[@shelleyparadee227]

Love all your techniques you teach. I also have had to filter what goes in my mind. Since 2020 I have not watched the news. I felt it was giving me anxiety that I had no control over. Thank you for your words…

[@Lizaxoxo3]

Beautiful cards , great ideas . Thank you , you’re awesome !!! You’re so right , we need to protect our minds for sure . Pray 🙏🏼

[@gigiandrews5327]

Love all the cards…and techniques!! Yes, wholeheartedly agree on being careful what we allow into our heart and mind! God bless! ❤

[@rettadade]

Oh my! I never would have thought to do this! Thank you, thank you!!

[@anaraposo522]

Great idea 💡. Love the cards. I totally agree with you, I also try not to watch news. Thank you Anna for the lovely message to send to us.

[@karenhughes4517]

Good advice! I haven't watch any news on TV since 2020. I just saw Margaret's comment & she said the same thing!! The news was making me very anxious. Thanks for all you do! Huggs from Florida!

[@annettestevens4558]

I love this technique! Love the bough leaves background 💜💜

[@sweetpea0424]

Very interesting ideas for beautiful card designs. God bless you and your family

[@RedArrowTinker]

This is a great idea, Anna! I recently made some masks using a plain circle die and a plain rectangle die. The inside piece of either can be used to create a halo or border around a focal point. The outside pieces can be used as well. For my Easter cards, I used the outside piece of the rectangle mask and ink-blended a sunrise in the center of my card. Then I stamped a floral silhouette over the top and added a greeting. They turned out so beautiful!

[@sybilmccullers6291]

I love the make-your-own stencil ideas and the cards are so nice. I also agree about being careful what you allow into your mind. I have not watched TV or listened news in about a year now, and I feel better. Thanks.

[@michellehaller4196]

Thank you for the pretty cards and for the inspiration. To agree with how well that works. I stopped watching TV several years ago and because I don't see any ads around Christmas, I never have any of the holiday shopping frenzy.

[@irenebaxendale8367]

Such simply stunning cards, thank you, and also I love listening to your chats at the end, so refreshing. ❤

[@karenwrenn1836]

Oh my goodness, Anna, my head just exploded. And such beautiful cards as well! Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial and talk you are the best! Much love, Karen ❌💖❌🌸❌

[@heidikeeney5218]

I Love how the Fresh Freesia card turned out, absolutely love it!! ❤ As I study the Bible more & attend meetings at my local Kingdom Hall , the worldly anxieties go down for sure, prioritize Love & Kindness, & cards!

[@susanhammond9916]

Watching replay from Theodore Alabama. Love all of these techniques in how you showed how to make mask with dies and punches.Love how you turned them into cards.They are all beautiful. It's just to hard to choose just one.

[@coolstamper]

LOVE these cards Anna!!! TYFS 💕🌸💕

[@marshalong1614]

Would’ve never thought of that. Thank you for showing us that new technique. I love it. Love the cards.

[@callycat6660]

Thankyou for your wonderful message at the end as it makes so much sense ..I try not to listen or watch the news even when others have it on the TV as I find it disturbs any peace and joy I am feeling ..I just craft when able and Thank God for every day and all he does for me 🙏 These are lovely cards 😍and I must get a couple of punches as die cutting is sometimes difficult until I get an electric machine 😊

[@LoriA2024]

You are SPOT ON about not feeding our minds with “all the things”. I was deep in denial about my own thoughts being the cause of my anxiety and depression. I left Facebook a couple years ago. I have not watched the news for more than about 15 minutes a day for a couple years. I water my head garden with Christian music and KZbin card making videos😊 I recently made some masks/stencils on my own and I’m loving them. I got my blending brushes and some Stampin’ Up! Ink pads- so awesome!! I have been playing with blending and stencils all week so this video hit the spot! Thanks for sharing- all of it. ❤

[@handmakewithlove]

Good for you to make changes. I hope they have helped you to heal ❤️

[@rosemaryjohnson1612]

Love the cards, especially the fireworks card.😊

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Hi Anna. Great video. I never knew you could use dies and punches to create masks. Thanks so much. ❤ 🇨🇦 😊

[@lindamoore9729]

That is such a good point about us not needing to know everything that's going on in the world! Love your ideas and I'll be trying them soon. I'm waiting for an order to come in with window sheets.

[@sweetsarah9702]

Awesome cards! Great ideas. You go girl! (I try to avoid all the stupid news - but generally, the bad things sneak in! Just have to stay covered in prayer!)

[@beverlypope7179]

I do the same thing Anna! It’s so difficult to hear the stuff the news media try to feed us! And we don’t know how much is true! Great idea about the stencils! Thanks for sharing all!

[@rosemaryjohnson1612]

The leaves card is beautiful.

[@karenclayton578]

Thank you for great ways to extend the life of our stash!

[@chantallattanzio]

Je viens de découvrir votre chaîne et j'ai regardé plusieurs de vos vidéos. Je trouve que vous faites de belles choses et que vois êtes une belle personne. Moi je regarde les informations juste pour me tenir informée mais sans excès pour ne pas poluer mon quotidien de toutes ces informations négatives Merci pour ces beaux moments de partage. Belle journée à vous. ❤😊

[@pineislandheather]

What a great message Anna! I too listen to Christian music, read a devotional in the morning, talk to my positive friends & craft. Of course, there are other parts of my day, but I learned years ago that I try not to get too caught up in the news of this world. Sometimes, I think I should be better at keeping up, but it's a way of protecting myself. I like how you said that we weren't "created" to know everything that's going on in the world. Living a country lifestyle for years and now an island lifestyle, I can see how God intended for us to get our news...through our friends and neighbors and people we interact with. If we carried the burden of every single person we didn't know who died, or every war, or every "fill-in-the-blank" we would go crazy...and some people do. Thank you for the insight.

[@caroll.b.4843]

Hi Anna. I just bought that leaf stencil and you made the most beautiful card on the Freesia cardstock with it! Carol Bradbury

[@juliecurtis9517]

I can't get over how pretty the stencil you made on the first card is stunning!

[@mommabeth9052]

So many great ideas. Plus, I always look forward to your chat

[@sandraallman2914]

What a cool idea! All your cards beautifully done. Thank you for sharing.

[@user-br2si8pc5q]

Love your comments after showing the cards. Also beautiful cards.

[@carolcorrado1784]

Love these cards, especially the leaves 🍁. Great message. 😊

[@catarinahameeteman3371]

As always thank you Anna ❤

[@handmakewithlove]

You are so welcome!

[@user-zw1hd7op6h]

Absolutely love this ! Especially the one with the leaves, stunning! I love your talks at the end also ❤

[@gingerphillips765]

Had not thought about window sheets

[@maxinestarowski8523]

You're so creative! Thanks for sharing your creativity.

[@postmaster585]

I like to use stencils from dies. Great ideas!!

[@sherrilbjalexander2856]

Awesome Anna! Ill be doing this! Thank you.

[@Linda-qq5mg]

I love the idea of making our own dies. Your cards are lovely! Thanks so much.😊

[@Linda-qq5mg]

I meant to write stencils instead of dies!😳

[@annsimonsen3273]

You just made my day. something new to try. Thank you.

[@clb343]

Great idea!! Yes, agreed with your message…. Turn OFF the news!! Negative, biased, inaccurate information that’s polluting our thoughts!!

[@sharongroves6200]

I hope you had a blessed Easter

[@lauramoore4064]

What a great idea. I was thinking of cutting plastic for stencils on my cricut. Now I have to try this out.

[@user-ii5nh7yh5f]

Beautiful cards and thoughts. Thank you from Australia

[@tbate77]

This is so great! Thanks so much. I love your great tips. And your encouraging word!

[@sandycopeland790]

I love this idea, thank you Anna. I have acetate I saved from recent stamp sets and will use those for making stencils.

[@Cindy-2024.]

Great idea. Love your cards. Thank you for sharing 😊🤗

[@dianekuzdas7013]

The leaf stencil card is so lovely. That is my favorite today. I, too, avoided the "news hour." I was experiencing enough within my home of 8 people and my parents' needs. Christian music and the Word of God in so many of the lyrics reinforced that God was and is in control, and He is not taken by surprise. ❤️🐧🩵

[@wandamanasseri9052]

Great ideas and cards. Thank you for sharing❤

[@maryruthschwartz5662]

These are absolutely terrific ideas! Who knew? Can't wait to try this!!! Thank you so much...

[@handmakewithlove]

You are so welcome!

[@pamelaferrentino6472]

Just Beautiful.

[@barbarawilliams8812]

Thanks for sharing. I had previously tried to make stencils from acetate, it works wonderful.

[@pineislandheather]

These are great! How creative!

[@sandrabracewell875]

Always wanted to try that. I was saving a plastic sheet from a bacon pack. But good to konow the acetate works. Great idea.

[@handmakewithlove]

Good idea!

[@tracyevans8838]

Fabulous cars Anna 😊❤

[@deborahroberts5772]

Love these!

[@louisewhitford1161]

Thank you great ideas

[@lindapawlowski7720]

Great ideas

[@estelalozdon6096]

Neh, news is news, an overrated, exaggerated, sensationalized narration of events by the media. I occasionally pay attention to keep myself informed. But, I remain aware that not all it is said on TV or online is the truth. I agree, the news is the source of much of what is wrong with people these days 😞. I occupy my mind with positive things, I love my scrapbooking and card making and that helps. Thank you for sharing this tutorial, you know, I love that Take Your Pick tool, I am going to get me one 👍🙏🙏🙏

[@handmakewithlove]

Completely agreed that they are the cause of many of our problems. And that’s why I won’t support them with my viewing time. Glad you found ways to stay positive!

[@sharongroves6200]

Do you know how thick the ml is for the SU window sheet? Thank you

[@ShirleyOsenbach-ud2ge]

I tried to make one of those templates with a sheet from Over the Stamps, and it must not have been thick enough because it jammed my layering leaves punch....😢.

[@ruthcook525]

Where do you get the acetate? I like the many uses for it but don't know where to get it. Being in Canada might make a difference.

[@handmakewithlove]

You can order from Stampin Up, they’re called window sheets

[@sharonboynton4716]

I watch very little news. Local news is ok, but National news agencies have an agenda. 'nuf said !

[@caroll.b.4843]

I'm not experienced wi t h the blending brushes

[@lesliebell7518]

I agree. Too much stimulation! Also, know the source of the information.

[@lesliewheeler1741]

Such a great idea! Thank you for your inspiration for card making and sharing your faith.
