Vintage tag with stencils

Hello crafters, Craftyfield here back for a second dose of inspiration for you!
Last time, I made a Travel themed journal page, this time.... still on the Travel theme but with a tag.
It wasn't part of a master plan, it's just what my inner crafter desired...
 
 
Come by my blog to find out how I made this tag. In true Mixed Media fashion, it involves lots of different mediums and techniques, including lots of stencilling of course!

Crazy For Stencils

Good morning and welcome to the weekend! It's Sue here with my second 'stencil' piece, and I've gone a little crazy!


I've gone back to my master board for this, and then chopped holes in it - well the crazies have to sit somewhere, and being cats they go just where they like!

There are lots more pictures here on my blog.

So, come on, you know you want to join in the fun, and you could win a £20 certificate to spend in the store. What's not to love about that. 

Have a fun weekend, and thanks very much for looking x

Holly and stencils

Good morning it's Jane here with my 2nd post to share some inspiration with you for the current stencils theme challenge. I chose to make 2 Christmas cards for the challenge. My first used very contemporary colours.
This time I have gone for a very traditional Christmas palette.
My stencil is the Tim Holtz holly and I used my favourite Tim Santa stamp..these just epitomize the Christmas spirit to me.
I have a step by step over on my blog here where a very frosty warm welcome awaits you.
There are only 44 sleeps...ho ho ho...meanwhile you have another 19 days to enter our challenge! We would love to see what you come up with. 

Bye for now,

November 2017 - Stencils

Welcome everyone to our November Challenge.
Our theme this month is "Stencils", chosen by the lovely Gabrielle

I love stencils and when given the opportunity to choose the theme this month it was an easy choice! In this journal page I have six stencils - two different numbers, arrows, speckles, tracks (under the leaves) and plus symbols. If you'd like to see more on this, please pop over to my blog!

Brrrrr the temperature certainly knows that we have reached November. We are counting down to Christmas now and I make no secret that this is my favourite time of the year. I am in full Christmas crafting mode. For the fun stencils theme this month I made one contemporary styled and one vintage card. Today I am sharing my contemporary one... I do love blue with silver and white.
I have a full step by step over on my blog here where a chilly  warm welcome awaits you. Keep snug, I think it is now time to get out my scarf and hat. I wonder if one of these snowflakes will flutter down soon?
Bye for now,

Sue

I was so pleased when I saw that the challenge this month was stencils, as they are something that I really enjoy working with.


I've used them in a couple of different ways for my piece, and if you pop over to my blog there are lots more details there.
Have a wonderful November, and I'll see you later in the month for my second piece x

Hello everybody,
it's Monika here
with the first project of our November challenge: Stencil it!
At this card, I created a stencilled background using two Distress markers for the flowers and two for the leaves.
As I really liked my background I didn't want to hide any part of it, so I decided to use a vellum for the text.
More details on my blog!



Hello Everyone when I saw this months theme was stencil, I was over the moon, well I would be really, wouldn’t I, lol.
