Stencil Staggering Technique Video + Giveaway

I have SUCH fun bright & happy winter cards for you today! There are a ton of fun new stamps and dies in today's post AND a video, so grab a cup of something and get ready for your eyes to be happy!

First up, this SWEET stamp set with so many combinations - I freaking love it. The little strip on the left was created with this stencil and Red Hot, Tangerine Twist, Wild Dandelion, Key Lime, Sea Glass and Lovely Lavender inks, applied with Life Changing Blender Brushes. The way I got that look on that strip is the subject of my video below. I then Copic colored the girl so that her scarf matched, die cut her and her scarf with the matching dies, as well as an oval of Desert Storm with the sentiment from the same set stamped in Nocturne. I die cut the background with this adorable background die, and I matted the whole thing with this no-shed glitter paper. Non traditional holiday colors inspired by the technique in the video.

NEXT OH MY GOSH - this is a layering set that is SO adorable and crisp that I really can't even. I had such a fun time stamping this sweet scene. I used Key Lime, Warm Cocoa, Red Hot, Powder Blue and Sweet Corn inks for the layering pieces. Then I used a 1/8" punch and a 3/8" punch to punch more glitter paper for snow - see - I even put one landing in her mitten.

This set just kills me and the other sentiments are just as sweet. The card base is Key Lime.

VENN DIAGRAMS STAMP SET! I'm dying. This is going to be so much fun. Plus the geometric stamps and dies are going to be amazing pattern makers - I can't wait to play more with them. But for today - I kept the focus on the diagram maker, because they are freaking geniuses. The inks used are Bubblegum Pink, Wild Dandelion and Sea Glass - look how beautifully they layer at the intersections. This set is SO me. I love you, Concord & 9th. I just love you.

Next, I took a piece I created in this video and used this fun double border die on it - it cuts the scallop and the snowflakes or you can cut them apart and use them individually. This is their free with purchase item for November! I used the snowflakes it cut on the background and added a sparkly noel from this bundle.

I also added some 1/8" circles of glitter paper too.

Don't be afraid of black on holiday cards - especially with bright, light colors, it can be so elegant!

Okay - back to the stenciling - ready for the video? Check out this fun and simple stagger technique for the first card.  But first - go see the rest of today's release here if you want to hit the buy it all button, you can do that here for the whole release. I'm 100% positive these will go fast. So adorable. I'll be back with another C9 video later this week.

    P.S. I think that girl resembles you, Lydia!

  6. Interesting video. I'm not familiar with the Life Changing Brushes & wonder if they are foam or have actual bristles?
