Tips & Techniques Tuesday: Stickles & Stencils

Happy Tuesday!

Tonya here to share with you our first tutorial at All that Stickles. Please be patient with me, as this is my first tutorial ever.  :-)

One of the first techniques I thought of when we started bringing All that Stickles to life was stencils.  I love to stencil our walls at home.  So, I thought I'd try Stickles and stencils to create a card and see how it worked.  Love it! 

I have a Silhouette Cameo so I took some basic stencil font in the program. 

  And I cut the font out on white cardstock. 

*Note - You could use stencils out of the school supply section or cut from a Cricut as well.

 Here is the cardstock template all cut out and out of the machine.

 To make sure the stencil did not move while I worked with the Stickles, I took some scotch tape and adhered the cardbase and the stencils in a few places.

 I Stickled right in the open places on my template, and let it dry. 

The card after the Stickles dried and template removed.  

To finish the card off, I inked around the edges with Festive Berries Distress Ink and added some white pearls too for some interest. 

  

 I love this card.  I think I just might give it to hubby.  ;-)
