Think Gifts!


Want an idea for a Christmas or Hanukkah gift?  Feast your eyes on these shoes decorated by photographer Kim Ross!  In this gift for her sister-in-law, Kim used acrylic paints and included prints made with my 6" x 6" Cats stencil.  Feel free to click on the photo below to enlarge it and better see details....   




And gifts mean giftbags -- the easy way to giftwrap!

Below:  a collaged giftbag that makes use of a cut-out from a print (on bronze metallic giftwrap paper) created with acrylic paint and my 6" x 6" stencil Ski Lift Works.








Above:  a collaged giftbag, featuring a star cut from a print made with 6" x 6" stencils Sprigs and Trivet A.  Below is a close-up:








Above:  a collaged giftbag created with a cut-out from a print made using Quilted Flower Garden.  The center of each flower has been embellished with red glitter glue (Rangers Industries.)  Clicking on the photo above, you can better see details.

Below:  two photos of a collaged giftbag made with a cut-out from a stencil-print on gold metallic giftwrap paper using Tiger Lily, a 6" x 6" stencil.  The first photo shows the bag in its entirety.  The second shows a close-up taken from a side view to show off the gold metallic giftwrap under the acrylic paints.








Today's final giftbag is one of my favorites because it's collage paper is cut from another print on gold metallic giftwrap paper.  This time, I used my 9" x 12" Winter Berries Mask to make the print.  I especially like the way this pattern mimics garland around the tree.  The trunk is cut from paper printed with my 6" x 6" stencil Sprigs.






Plain paper giftbags are available here and in some brick-and-mortar art and craft supply stores.

I do my stencil-print cut-outs using freehand original drawings, but for anyone who would rather use a stencil to make shapes of this kind, one  helpful stencil is here.   Another is here.  And here.  And here.  And here.  And here.

Many thanks for taking time to come here today!  To scroll thru the pages of my StencilGirl stencils and masks, please start here.

Christmas and Other Greeting Cards


One of the prints I made with my just-released 9" x 12" stencil was this one --





-- and because the dominant colors of red and white reminded me of Christmas, I decided to cut apart the print and use parts in collage-cover greeting cards.  (My greeting card blanks come from JAMPaper.com.  The green textured backgrounds were cut from handmade novelty papers that I bought years ago at an art supply store.) 



The above shot shows 3 of these cards together; the shots below are close-ups of individual cards in easier-to-see detail.















After making a few Christmas cards, I used more pieces from this trees-themed print to make other greeting card cover collages:








Both of these final two photos are abstracts.  The photo directly above has its upper right corner papered with a print-out that I made when creating the May 2019 StencilGirl StencilClub 3-piece Set of the Month.
