A few weeks ago, I shared a video with a few ways to layer stencils. If you missed that video, you can find it HERE. Today I have a few more ideas for you!
#1: INK AND IMPRESS
One way to layer stencils is to first ink over a stencil… and then make an impression with a stencil. To do this, it is best to have an inexpensive Tan Embossing Pad.
For my first card, I inked over the new Altenew Dahlia B Stencil on cardstock. I then lightly inked over the Altenew Dahlia A Stencil… and then impressed with into the cardstock with my Tan Embossing Pad and die cut machine.
I created a simple sentiment using the Altenew Inline Alphabet Dies and Crafty Friends Stamp Set.
For these next two cards, I inked and impressed with the Altenew Grid Stencil. For the “awesome” card, I used the Altenew Inline Alphabet Dies and silver glitter die cut stars. For the “xoxo”, I used the Altenew Bold Alphabet Dies and Altenew Build-A-Flower Magnolia Stamp Set.
Check out that texture…
For my last ink-n-impress example, I inked over the Altenew Kaleidoscope A Stencil, and then impressed with the Altenew Kaledioscope B Stencil and Tan Embossing Pad. I added a vellum heart with an Altenew Crafty Friends Stamp Set heat embossed sentiment. Love those Lucy’s Cards Ice Cube Jewels, too!
#2: INK AND HEAT EMBOSS
Another way to layer stencils is to first ink and then to heat emboss.
I first inked over the Altenew Dahlia A Stencil. I then inked with my Versamark Cube over the Altenew Dahlia B Stencil and added Altenew Golden Peach Embossing Powder. (NOTE: In the video, I referred to this embossing powder as a different name. I am sorry!) I added a Altenew Inline Alphabet Die Cut and Build-A-Flower Magnolia stamped sentiment.
I really like the shine this card gives when you tilt it in the light.
For this next one, I used a sparkle embossing powder. And that die cut “hugs” was created with the Altenew Calligraphy Alphabet Dies.
#3: INK AND SHIFT
One easy way to layer stencils is to first ink, and then to shift the stencil and ink again. This works great with single stencils, too.
For my first example, I used the Altenew Cube Builder Stencil. This stencil is so cool! I first inked it with a light blue ink and then flipped it and inked again with a darker blue. The result? This fabulous cube background!
I added a Altenew Bold Alphabet Die Cut “hi” and a Altenew Engineers Rule stamped sentiment. These big alphabet dies are great for layering. (Check out THIS video for more ideas using them!)
For this next card, I inked the Altenew Sketched Lines Stencil with light ink… and then just shifted it a bit and inked again with darker ink. Simple!
Another great way to layer stencils is to ink once… rotate the stencil… and ink again. Easy peasy! And I really like that Altenew Crafty Friends Stamped sentiment.
#4: INK AND SHIFT
The fourth way to layer stencils is to ink the first layer and add another medium for the second. For my examples, I used Tonic Nuvo Mousse. This stuff is gorgeous!
For my first example, I inked over the Altenew Kaleidoscope A Stencil with purple ink. I then used my Mini Ink Blending Tool to apply Tonic Nuvo Mousse over the stencil after I rotated it a bit. I really like the texture and shine this gives!
The flower is from the Altenew Build-A-Flower Magnolia Stamp Set. Isn’t it gorgeous? The sentiment is from the Altenew Crafty Friends Stamps Set. I wish i could photograph that background better…
And last but not least, I used the same process over the Dahlia stencils.
Here is a glimpse at that great shine…
