Stencils & Cards

Stencils come in many patterns and sizes and

 Echo Park Paper

has the cutest around! 

 I have two ideas on how to use stencils on cards,

along with the “The Story of Family” Collection.

 For the first card, I’ve taken a scrap piece of white textured cardstock,

 the “Branches Stencil”, washi tape and chalks. I started with a yellow

 chalk and chalked all of the branches.  Then I added a light green and

 dark green to the base of the branches.

 I die-cut two 2.5” circles from the chalked area and matted them with a larger, 

3” circle of diagonal striped paper. 

The embellishments were kept simple with just a few stickers and decorative

 brads added around the edge of the circles.

 

 

The second card is made up of the “Leafy Border Stencil” and dark green chalk ink. 

 For the base, I cut a rectangle from off-white cardstock that’s just a bit larger

 than the 3X4 journal card.

 I taped the stencil down over the cardstock with washi tape.

 The portion of the leaf border was inked and then the stencil was adjusted so that

 the pattern could continue around the top and bottom edges.

 The journal card was attached to the center of the leaf frame with foam adhesive.

One of the scroll sentiment stickers was cut in half and added to the top

 and bottom of the frame.

With stencils you can customize your own unique look to cards or other craft projects! 

 Try other types of mediums such as modeling or stencil paste, crayons, etc. and have fun!
