Tuesday Tip - Layered Designs

 Tuesday Tip - Layered Designs

Diane has another stencil tip for us:
"
Make multiple layers with your stencils or background stamps and cut or tear to layer them."


Diane shares: "First, I brushed ink on three pieces of white cardstock using three colors of ink, varying the combination of colors. Note: I traced the edge of the cardstock with pencil onto my scrap paper and taped the top of the stencil down so that all three pieces were stenciled exactly the same. If you have a sticky mat for this purpose, that might help."


"Next, I tore the edges of two pieces as shown below and layered them together. You will have two pieces leftover for another project."

Here’s the finished background.

Supplies used:
Diamond Floral Stencils and Simple Sentiments Bundle

   

Tuesday Tutorial - Treat Bag/Pocket Card

 Tuesday Tutorial - Treat Bag/Pocket Card
Esther has a picture tutorial to share with you today for creating a mini pocket card or treat bag. 


1.  Decide how tall you want you treat bag and add about 1/4 of an inch to accommodate the fancy trimmed top you'll add later.  Decide how wide you want your treat bag to be, double that measurement and add 1/4 inch

2. Fold your the two sides of your paper to the center, overlapping 1/4 of an inch


3. Fold the bottom up approximately 1/4 of an inch 

4. Open your paper back up and trim off the bottom two corners


5. Decide what kind of decorative top you'd like and use pinking sheers or a circle punch to create it

6. Fold your bag back up and adhere together

NOTE: You can use typing paper, card stock, patterned paper, or wax paper (to create faux glassine bags)

 Tuesday Tip - Stencil Fun
Diane shares a fun tip for changing up the tree from our Seasonal Trees Layering Stencils:
"Use a tiny heart stencil or stamp with the tree stencil to create a valentine tree. Try other shapes or images also such as stars, flowers, etc."
