Making Stencils the Star of Christmas

Hi Everyone! Danie here with you today! I've been a little Stencil Crazy the past few weeks and with Christmas looming I really had to make a serious start to my Christmas Card Making. So I got out my Gelli Plate and acrylic paints and some stencils that had just arrived in my latest Altered Pages Order.

The Triangle Plaid and Honeycomb 12 Inch stencils from The Crafters Workshop worked a treat to create some grungy backgrounds.

I teamed them with the gorgeous Vintage Images from the Happy Holidays Collage Sheet AP-505. There was no need for any added sentiment as the images included Seasonal Greetings on them.

After inking edges and layering, to finish I embellished with some Half the Edge Cardstock Strips from Bazzill in read and ribbon, flowers and bling from my stash.

Speaking of Stencils and Christmas, the Quick and Easy Santa Card Kit (card in photo above) is available to purchase from the Altered Pages Store. Designed for those who have little time, but wish to get inky and create their own handmade cards for Christmas. This kit comes with everything you need to make 8 cards plus you will have product left over and stencils to use again and again.

I hope you all have a fun filled week!

Danie xx

Handy Tip for Artists, Recyclers and Neat Freaks! I have a follow-up to the Citra-Sol method for creating fabulous background pages and collages. I bought a big bag of navel oranges and realized I had the ingredients to make my own solvent! Simply take a clean glass jar, peel the rind from the oranges and place all the rind/peels, without the pulp (tangerines, oranges, navels) into the jar. Pour enough vinegar over the peels to cover them. Allow the jar to sit for a week or two and VOILA! You have made your own solvent for literally pennies. You will notice the liquid getting a bit thicker than the plain vinegar and it does not smell bad!!! I now have a HUGE jar on the window sill! Be careful and only use this after testing on a safe spot.

Full Circle

Hi all! Becky here today! I have been in a circle-mood lately & have been doing circles on everything! So why not do some circles with some of my Gelli Prints??? Here's a simple little card I made using 4 different circle punches, a black pen & some previously made Gelli prints! Hope you're enjoying Springtime in your area! Cheers!
