Using Tangled 6x9 Layering Stencils
The Tangled 6x9 Layering Stencils set offers endless possibilities for adding texture and color. With four versatile stencils, you can layer different colors and materials to craft eye-catching designs that draw attention. Here's how to utilize this set effectively:
Step-by-Step Guide for Glittering Your Stencils
Choose Your Colors: Select a color scheme that represents the holiday spirit. Traditional hues like deep red and forest green never go out of style, but adding gold glitter can bring an upscale and luxurious feel to your cards.
Stenciling with Ink: Start by applying your base layer of ink through the stencils. Using detailed blending tools allows you to achieve precise control over the application. For example, try applying a rich green ink for an evergreen effect.
Applying Glitter Paste: Once the ink has dried completely, it’s time for the glitter! Use stencil adhesive to hold the stencil in place, then spread the glitter paste gently over the design. The shiny finish will capture light beautifully, adding depth to your cards.
Crafting with Deck the Halls Word Die Set
The Deck the Halls Word Die Set provides the perfect finishing touch for your cards. This set contains three word dies and three shadow dies that allow you to create layered text that stands out. Learn how to make the most of your dies:
Tips for Using Word Dies Effectively
Choosing the Right Paper: To enhance your words, consider using glitter paper for your die cuts.
Shadow Play: Utilize shadow dies to create a multi-dimensional look. Pair a gold word die with a contrasting shadow cut from holiday-themed paper, such as red or green, for a dynamic design.
Placement Matters: The placement of text is crucial. While centering can look polished, off-center designs can demonstrate creativity and modern style. Experiment with different placements to find what works best.
