Twice the fun with homemade stencils

[@annettegriffiths3942]

Beautiful. I liked the overspray of the glitter, but the heat embossing gold made it pop more. Thanks for sharing.

[@Chrissieannie]

You are so welcome!😊😊😊

[@terriconrad4612]

What a creative save! Brilliant! Lovely idea! 💕🙋‍♀️🇺🇸

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you! 😊

[@Gidget3922]

Great save, Christine! As they say, there are no mistakes in card making, only opportunities 🤗

[@Chrissieannie]

So true!

[@pathoodjoy]

Love this idea! So accessible for anyone - cut your own stencils, add paste and/or glitter. Minimal tools and materials required to achieve amazing results. Thank you.

[@Chrissieannie]

It's my pleasure😊

[@GewoonelsJustels]

This must be one of my favorite videos.

[@Chrissieannie]

Many thanks 😊

[@claudiachampagne9144]

Liked the overspatter of glitter by itself, but the heat embossing put just the right pop to it. 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 😊

[@kcinca5410]

My morning is made when I can wake up to find one of your videos. Your save looks like you meant to have those splatters there. I find that sometimes the correction of my mistake is what really makes the card.

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks so much 💚💚💚

[@deballen7031]

Hi. Yes, I find that a happy accident can really help in card making!😊

[@patmoore365]

The two stencils you chose go together wonderfullly Chrissie, and I love the way you shaded the leaves and then added the pattern through that with the texture paste and then added the embossing powder, which is very pretty, and you rescued it brilliantly with the stamped and embossed dots. Definitely a technique to try. x

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!

Omg! I love your videos. You make my brain expand with so many possibilities. Thank you. ❤️🇨🇦

Wonderful! ❤️❤️❤️

[@katherine9026]

Thanks for all you informative videos. Learned lots in doing so. In seeing your storage containers for embossing powders, I thought you’d like to hear what I learned to do to make knowing what color is in jar. In my case I embossed and then glued to the jar top a small die-cut circle that I’ve embossed with the color in the jar. It certainly makes finding a color faster for me. Or you can label the container with the colors that are inside. Well, Christine that’s my two-cents worth. Love your cards.

[@Chrissieannie]

I think that’s a great idea. It would take me forever to do that to label all my individual jars of powder. I should use the different colours more though!

[@jenniferdrake1210]

Good morning Christine, loved watching you design this card. Jenny 🇨🇦😊

[@Chrissieannie]

Thank you so much!🍃💚🍃

[@judithshea6284]

Love your save! Such a great idea for layering stencils. I was thinking that maybe, after you had applied the paste, if you removed only the TOP stencil, you could sprinkle on the embossing powder before removing the leaf stencil. That way no powder could get on any of the white space. Then remove the leaf stencil, and heat your panel. Just an idea.I always enjoy hearing your creative process. Such fun!!😊

[@shelleybluebell397]

That’s what I do and works really well 😊

[@Chrissieannie]

Thanks, it’s a great idea, in fact I did just that on the next video I made, which together with another i have deleted from my phone in a confused moment! ☹️ often I could retrieve deleted things but this time I don’t seem to be able to! Hey Ho!

@@Chrissieannie I’m so sorry you lost the follow-up video 😔. I, too, am in my seventies and a retired teacher, and technology often flummoxes me! In addition, watching your occasional hiccups ( “I just had that a minute ago.”) while you are making your wonderful cards makes me feel absolutely normal and a little less inept!

You took us on a wonderful Adventure today Chris; never deterred by unexpected results, you merely pivot on the spot and invent a solution to save the day. So clever and great fun to watch.

Another great video, Christine! I love how you turn an accident into a design opportunity. I'm learning so much from you. I have the sizzix stencil sheets and to be honest, I'm not impressed. I use them for vellum like flowers so it'll give you an Idea what they're like. I've made stencils using laminating cardstock. It's better than the sizzix, I'd be happy to pass on the link to the tutorial for you if you'd like. Thanks so much for helping me on my venture into c&s techniques 🦋 🦋

[@mitzi66]

Yes I just said I was disappointed with the Sizzix stencil film, the only thing I can think of is because it's thin, you get less of a ridge if using with other stencils or masks. ❤

[@Chrissieannie]

It will be interesting for me to see, I do love the Mylar that I have been using. May have to order some more!

[@Chrissieannie]

The thinness is an interesting point, may work well with other stencils!🤔

A glue eraser or rubber will often remove excess embossing powder after it has been heat set.

I do have an electric eraser but there was just too much for this card!

[@dianewray1867]

@@Chrissieannie Have you got a 'sand eraser'? They're great for the odd ink mark, but you did have a little rash of heat embossed dots to tackle. Anyhow, I reckon your solution/save worked out even better than perhaps you originally envisaged! x

Really playing with stencils and just bought some mylar (or whatever) to make my own using dies. Would love to see more videos about making your own stencils...any tips you'd like to share before I just jump in? LOL! I do love your technique of layering stencils...and I thought the project looked fabulous after you added the paste and thought you were done! It was so elegant at that point. Clearly I'm a "less is more" crafter! Thanks for doing something just a bit different..

[@Chrissieannie]

I’m going to carry on a little more with stencils I think. I preferred the leaf without the embossing powder if I’m honest but I thought I’d give it a go!😊

[@ematthews3267]

Been having a think on how to achieve the same result without the sticky residue problem. If you ran the stencils through your platinum then clean them to remove the stick & stay. The slight texture might hold the stencils (just) for you to add your paste. Obviously I've not tried it yet🤣 and I'm not sure how much embossing you would get through 2 stencils. Another thought... Let the texture paste dry, then reposition the clean stencils over the top and use versamark on top. No good for showing us due to the drying time🤣. More playtime and experimenting once I've finished making my Mums card for Sunday. Exx

[@Chrissieannie]

It seems like this project was very thought provoking for you... There are lots of remedies I'm sure. Make sure you keep enjoying your crafting!💚💚💚

Would it help if you put your green embossing powder/browns etc in the same boxes? For. Me, I put embossing powder on the top of the lid, gently emboss it and I always know what the powder will look like.

[@Chrissieannie]

All helpful suggestions! 😊

[@mitzi66]

Love it! I'll be interested to hear what you think about the Sizzix stencil film, as I was a bit disappointed, it's like expensive tracing paper, but you might like it. Have you heard of the new stuff that's like acetate, but easier to cut, something like Dura La, sorry my brain isn't on full steam yet? ❤
