Hello crafty friends! \u00a0I am happy to be back with another card today for my final<\/em><\/strong> AECP course in Level 1! Yeah!<\/p>\n

The last course I took for Level 1 is called Easy Die Cutting Techniques and I learned some really fun ideas to stretch my dies and use them in creative ways. \u00a0The technique I used for this card is to create a stencil from a die. \u00a0I started by running the Layered Floral Cover Die A through my big shot with a plain piece of colored cardstock.<\/p>\n

I chose some bright pink, warm yellow, and green inks and grabbed my finger daubers for more precise ink blending. \u00a0I made sure to tape my stencil in place with some purple tape and also mask off areas I wasn’t working on. \u00a0For the large florals I blended Picked Raspberry Oxide ink into Wild Honey Oxide.<\/p>\n

I masked off the flowers and leaves separately in an effort to keep the colors contained. Once I had most of the areas inked through my DIY stencil, I peeled it back and was so excited with the beautiful result!<\/p>\n

To turn this inked panel into a card, I trimmed it down and mounted it off center on pink cardstock. I added a thin border of striped washi tape as an accent and then got to work on my sentiment.<\/p>\n

For the sentiment I die cut the word “love” using a die from my stash and then altered a stamp from Label Love to get just the word “you”. \u00a0I stacked three of the Love dies to give it some weight and dimension and then popped up the label stamp with foam tape.<\/p>\n

Finally, I added a few Moonshine clear sequins around the card for some fun and bling and mounted the whole thing on an A2 card base.<\/p>\n

I love the effect this DIY stencil creates. \u00a0I am always on the lookout for techniques that allow me to get different looks from my supplies!<\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping by today – I hope you’ve gotten some inspiration from my projects for the AECP program… wish me luck in passing the Level One final challenge!<\/p>\n
