Create beautiful handcrafted greeting cards easily using American Traditional's laser-cut 4"x5" Classic Dimensions Sentiments. Stencil and emboss with these lovely three-part overlay designs for elegant gift giving.
Materials:
- Clasic Dimensions Sentiments stencil
- 5/16" Stencil Brushes
- Stamp Pad, Oil Sticks, Acrylics, Chalk, etc. (coloring of choice)
- Masking Tape
- Embossing Tool (optional)
- Light Table (optional)
- A2 Notecards (4 1/4" x 5 1/2")
- A2 Envelopes to match
- Glitter and Glue (optional)
Instructions:
Stencil or emboss according to package instructions.
Other hints and ideas:
- Glitter adds sparkle and light to wings, stars, ornaments and bows.
- Delicate ribbons can be used to embellish or tie the card.
- Place designs stenciled onto white paper on top of vibrantly colored or handmade paper (you'll need a larger envelope!).
- Use masking tape to create a border that you can stencil around the design.
- Stencil the angel facing to the right, then stencil a second angel facing the first, overlapping the lower curves of the robes slightly. You will end up with a lovely mirrored image in the shape of a heart! Fold into a card where the angels meet and trim if desired.
- Decorate the envelope with part of the design or use a smaller stencil.
