Hello, it’s Rebecca here on the blog. The Pretty Pink Posh Streamers Stencils is a pack of two stencils that layer to create the look of twisted party streamers. They are so easy to use and line up and create a fun, celebratory background! One of my favorite things about this stencil set, is that you can use them in so many different ways for different effects!

You can use a different color of ink for each of the two stencils creating a bicolor effect. Try using different amounts of ink to create everything from a light background to a more opaque effect.

Or try using a different color on each line of both stencils. One fun way to do this is to create rainbow streamers!

You can add loose glitter to some parts of the streamers too. After you add ink to the second stencil, add some type of medium like paste. After removing the stencil, add loose glitter on top.

These stencils work beautifully with two layers of Lunar Paste too. Simply wait for the first layer to completely dry before adding the second.

Or you can simply use two shades or hues of the same color of ink on each stencil to create a dimensional look.

Once you have all your stenciling done, you have enough backgrounds to create a whole bunch of cards and there are fun ways to use too! You can simply cut the stenciled background down to 4×5.25” to matte on specialty cardstock. Or you can use a nested die set like the Wonky Stitched Rectangles to cut out several pieces of the background and use different levels of foam tape to pop them up! Even though it is a 6×6 stencil set, you can still cut the background down to a mini slimline card or try using the streamers running horizontally on the card rather than vertically!

These cards can be finished off with images and sentiments like the Birthday Balloons Stamp and Die Set, Large Celebrate Shadow Die, Birthday Mug Additions Dies, or the Birthday Signs Stamp Set and Dies. These are great for birthdays or other fun celebrations!

Isn’t it amazing that just two simple, easy to line up stencils can be used in so many different ways? All these different looks make this stencil set more than worth every penny!

Thanks for stopping by! We hope you were inspired by this stencil theme week and were able to get some stencils at a discount!

Hi friends! Hope you are enjoying Stencil Theme Week! It’s Stefanie here today and I’m sharing a colorful card using the Layered Clouds Stencils. I think it could definitely cheer up someone’s day!

To create the background, I did a rainbow blend of each stencil on an A2 size cardstock. I used distress oxides in Broken China, Cracked Pistachio, Squeezed Lemonade, and Worn Lipstick. Then I used some water droplets to lift some ink for interest and added some white “splatter” using a white gel pen. I trimmed down the background to a slightly smaller size than A2 and stamped a sentiment in the bottom right from the Easter Sentiments Stamp Set.

Next I used the recently released Umbrella Shaker Dies to create the umbrella shaker. I die cut the top of the umbrella 5 times, then used scissors to remove the middle umbrella lines from 4 of the die cuts because I eventually wanted the confetti to traverse across all compartments. I glued the 4 die cuts together, added a piece of acetate over the top, then added the final unaltered umbrella top.

The stem is only 1 layer and the handle is 2. I glued the umbrella together on the card and used Birthday Cake Clay Confetti for the shaker bits. 

Finally I adhered the background onto a white card base using foam tape for dimension and the card was done!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you like my card!

Hello crafty friends! It’s Leica here today with a square-shaped birthday shaker card. I tend to make birthday cards for girls, so this time I challenged myself to make a card with a gender neutral color palette. 

To start, I cut a 5” square white cardstock and inked through the A layer of the Layered Party Hats Stencils with Dried Marigold, Salvaged Patina, Tumbled Glass, and Twisted Citron. For the B layer, I used the same inks for a tone on tone look. For the C layer, I used Color Box gold ink and finally for the last layer, I used Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink. 

For the shaker bits, I cut the confetti dies from the Fancy Cake Die in various colors of cardstock. I love that I can now customize the shaker elements inside the shaker card with this new die. Next, I cut a square frame in teal cardstock, glued acetate, and added foam tape. 

I cut the Wish Big Script in gold cardstock, added white highlights, and glued it onto the acetate. I then stamped a sub sentiment in a strip of yellow cardstock and glued it under the script sentiment. Lastly, I closed the shaker card and glued the card panel onto a 5” square card base. 

I love all the PPP clay confetti for my shaker cards, but I love that I can use the confetti die to make shaker bits  in color combinations of my choice. I know that you will love it too! 

Thanks for stopping by today and happy crafting!

Hi friends! It’s Zsofia here today and I am sharing a fun almost one layer card with the cutest stencil set ever: Layered Dinosaurs. If I had to choose one type of crafty supply as my favourite, I would definitely choose stencils. They are super versatile and easy to use (even my kids love them). Today I will show you how you can make a cute birthday-boy card with selective inking.

As the base I used Neenah Solar white cardstock and I cut it down to be 4,25*5,5 inches. I placed them on my silicone mat (it helps to hold the cardstock in place) and placed the first layer of the stencil over it. I chose light Distress Oxide colours: Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, Milled Lavender and Broken China. I like to use smaller blending brushes which allow me to do selective inking. If you have bigger brushes or other blending tools, you can always mask around the area you are working on to avoid the colours mixing. Any Post-it or masking tape would do!

For the second layer I used darker shades of Distress Oxide inks: Mowed Lawn, Blueprint Sketch, Wilted Violet and Peacock Feathers. I simply used a white gel pen for the teeth and horns, so fun to use the stencil as a guide!

For the last layer I used Hickory Smoke and Black Sooth Distress Oxide inks, to complete the scene. After removing the last layer, I used a white gel pen to add highlights and emphasized the eyes of the dinos with a black glaze pen.

For the sentiment I chose the Birthday Sentiment stamp set and stamped it directly on the stencilled image with Versafine Onyx Black ink. 

As I am a big fan of dimension on my cards, I could not resist adding a pretty aqua frame and a shiny balloon. The frame I cut with the Fancy Cake die set, the balloon with the Birthday Mug Addition die set from silver glitter cardstock. I embellished it with some Midnight Black jewels and popped it up with 3D foam squares. I used a black fineliner to draw the strings, so it looks like the Triceratops is holding it! Cute isn’t it?

I wish you liked my card and got inspired to do some selective inking. Make sure you come back in the coming days to see all the amazing stencil inspirations from the design team. 

Thank you for stopping by,
Zsofia

Hi friends, it’s Gemma here today. I love the layered stencils from Pretty Pink Posh. They make such fabulous backgrounds and are so easy to use.

I’m using the Layered Birthday Cakes stencil set on my card today. There are 4 layers in this stencil set and I used distress oxides to blend each layer:

Layer A: Antique Linen Layer B: Abandoned Coral, Dried Marigold, Dusty Concord, Kitsch Flamingo Layer C: Lost Shadow Layer D: Squeezed Lemonade

I trimmed the panel down and adhered to an A2 top folding card base.

Next, I stamped and copic coloured a cake from the Birthday Signs stamp set. I stamped a sentiment in the centre, also from the same stamp set. I die cut the image out with the coordinating die, adding two more layers behind for dimension.

To help the cake show up on the stencilled background, I die cut a scalloped circle from pearl white sparkle card. This circle is from the Valentine Circles coordinating die set. I adhered the circle, followed by the cake, onto the card to finish.

Copic colours: E30-31; N0-N1; Y13; RV13 RV21

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you were inspired to create with your PPP stencils!

Hi there, it’s Gemma here and today I have a card to share featuring the Birthday Mug Additions die set. I love that the elements in these addition sets can be used with or without the mug.

I began by die cutting the cake, candle, hat and balloon from different card stock colours. I then assembled all the pieces, adhering them with liquid glue.

Next, I arranged the die cuts across an A2 card base. Once I was happy with the positions, I used some Press n Seal to keep them in place.

A few at a time, I lifted up the press n seal and added liquid glue behind the die cuts, before laying them back down and adhering to the card base.

As this is a busy background, I went for a Simple Sentiments stamp set greeting, stamped on white card and trimmed to a thin strip. I adhered it to the card with foam tape to finish.

Thanks for joining me today! I hope you were inspired by this card idea!

Hello hello! It’s Leica here today on the PPP blog. I’ve got a fun birthday card to share with you and the color palette of my card is inspired by the Party Swirls Clay Confetti. Blue, pink, and purple – I love these colors together! 

I first started by ink blending through the Streamers Stencils with Milled Lavender, Spun Sugar, and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks. I then cut the frame from the Fancy Cake Dies in purple cardstock and made a shaker card by adding acetate and foam tape onto the frame. I filled the shaker with half a teaspoon of Party Swirls Clay Confetti.

Next, I cut the cake twice in white cardstock. I ink blended the cake stand with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink. For the cake, I used Antique Linen and Wilted Violet for the icing. The candles are ink blended with Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. I sprayed the die cut pieces with water for an oxidized effect and I also splattered some white ink. Next, I colored the flames with Copic markers. Then I cut the “hip hop hooray” in gold cardstock and glued it on the cake.  I glued the cake in the middle of the card as the focal point. Lastly, I adhered the cad panel onto an A2 size card base. 

That’s all for this shaker card. The frame from the Fancy Cake Dies makes it super easy to create a shaker card – just add acetate and .25” foam tape around the frame. I hope you’ll try this method to make a shaker card.

Have a great day!
