StencilGirl's CYBER MONDAY SALE ANNOUNCEMENT & Christmas Cards -- Quick and Easy with Stencils!

StencilGirl Cyber Monday is on its way!

Please scroll thru the pages of my StencilGirl stencils starting here.

Meanwhile, waiting for Cyber Sunday and Monday, I'm re-running a post because quick and easy greeting-card-making has special appeal for me at this time of year!

The Christmas trees above were cut from a thick gold foil printed with several layered paint applications using my 9"X 12" Mimosa stencil and another favorite of mine, Feathers and Lattice by Daniella Woolf.

First, I used Mimosa to sponge in a red print; and after that print dried, I used the same stencil to make a green print.  For the first print, I faced the stencil in one direction; for the second print, I faced the stencil in the opposite direction.  This way, the green print and the red print crisscross each other. 

From that sheet, I cut 6 tall triangles and 6 narrow rectangles.    Then I assembled the trees atop a 6"x 6" white greeting card blank (JamPaper.com.)

The 9"x 12" Mimosa stencil itself looks like this --

 More Christmas card ideas follow ....

Above:  My 9" x 12" stencil Swatton Borders #1 was used to create the base of this candle.

Above:  My 9" x 12" stencil Vintage Script was used to create this candle.

Above:  My 9" x 12" stencil Swatton Borders #1 was used to create the base of this candle.

Above: My 4" x 4" stencil Fern Fronds Silhouette Mini was used to create this column candle.

The two parts of each flame can be cut out by hand, as I did, or they can be created by tracing inside the openings of stencils like Cornish Petals Stencil Large by Lizzie Mayne and/or Cascading Feathers Stencil by Jessica Sporn.

Swatton Borders #1 in its entirety looks like this --

-- and it is one of three 9" x 12" borders stencils that I've designed.

Vintage Script stencil (also 9" x 12") looks like this in its entirety:

The Postal Service has a surcharge for 6"x 6" envelopes.  So I make things easy on myself by just using two Forever stamps.
