Today I am excited to showcase the Layered Presents Stencils. This versatile stencil set can be used for so many different occasions. I had so much fun playing with it that I created two birthday cards to share with you today. So let’s get started.
For my first card, I used all three layers of the Layered Presents Stencils to ink blend a full background on a piece of white cardstock. I started with the gift box stencil and Spun Sugar and Mustard Seed Distress Oxide inks. Next I used the stencil to add details to the wrapping paper with Kitsch Flamingo and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks. Finally, I used the last stencil to add the bows with Picked Raspberry and Wild Honey Distress Oxide inks. I set the panel aside to dry as I worked on the rest of the card.
I diecut a bear, party hat and present using the Bear Holder Dies, Birthday Mug Additions Dies and Build a Gift Dies out of white, pink, yellow and black cardstock. The bear was colored with Copic markers. I assembled the diecuts and highlighted with a white gel pen.
COPIC COLORS:
Bear: E50/51/53/33/99/35, R00/20, R20
For the sentiment, I stamped the “Happy Birthday” from the Upright Greetings: Birthday Stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock. I used the Sentiment Strip Dies to diecut the sentiment and well as a scallop strip out of yellow cardstock. I layered and adhered the two strips.
I used the Fancy Cake Dies to diecut a stitched frame out of pink cardstock. Foam tape was used to adhere the bear, frame and sentiment strip to the panel. The panel was adhered to a white A2 cardbase (4.25” x 5.5”). I finished the card with a few Sparkling Clear Confetti Mix.
For my second card, I wanted to create a masculine birthday card. I decided to keep the design clean and simple with only two rows of presents. I love that you can easily mask off and use these stencils to ink only a portion of the background. This time I used some Post-It sticky notes to mask off part of the Layered Presents Stencils and work on one row at a time to keep the colors pure. I ink blended the layers in the same manner as I did in the first card. The gift box stencil with a very soft layer of Mowed Lawn and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide inks. The pattern stencil with the same two colored inks but with a heavier hand when ink bleeding. And for the bow stencil, I used Pine Needles and Prize Ribbon Distress Oxide inks.
For the sentiments, I used the Sentiment Strips: Birthday Stamp set to stamp several of the sentiments along the top and bottom borders of the presents with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.
I used the same dies as with the first card to diecut and color in the bear and present. I assembled them and adhered them onto the panel with some foam tape for a bit of dimension and interest.
I appreciate you taking the time to stop by and visit today. I hope you liked my cards and are inspired to try out some of these fun layered stencils. Be sure to head on over to the Pretty Pink Posh Shop to check out all of the different options available in the Stencil Section.
Have a wonderful and crafty day!
