Precision Glue Press

Black Crafty Foam Tape

I love using stencils on my cards.  You can control the amount of color you put on, you can mix, match and blend colors and you can use them over and over again!!  The Spooky Spiderweb Stencil I used today is new in the shop.  I just love it.  I used it on the card base and burnished with my Black Soot Distress Oxide.  Then for the card layer, I didn’t reink, I just burnished with the stencil and the ink that was left on my brush.  This gave it a much lighter layer!  I LOVE it!

Use our Low Tack Sticky Mat or Sticky Note Tape to hold your stencil in place and burnish away II!

I LOVE the Low Tack Sticky Mat but if you’d like to save a little money you can always use the Sticky Note Tape.

This stencil does not have to be used for only Halloween.  It’s a pretty pattern and with different inks, it’s going to look completely different!

As explained, I did the card base darker (shown here).  Then on my upper layer I cut out a square from the Stitched Nesting Squares  and lightly burnished that piece (cut this out BEFORE you stencil the lighter ink.  I adhered it to my card base as show above.  

Now let’s work on the upper layer and the spider web.  Cutting it out…

Don’t forget to use your dryer sheets for your detailed dies such as the spider web.  This is always my “go-to” technique for these intricate detailed dies.  Take a look at the video below which explains it.  The order of the sandwich is dryer sheet, paper then die.  Run it through your die cutting machine.  The dryer sheet sticks to the paper when the die runs through the machine and makes it so much easier for the pieces to come out of the die and your cleanup is minimal.  “Life altering!!!!”  ha ha ha

When you lift the die, the pieces stick to the dryer sheet.

Here is the video…

Pretty awesome right?!

Cut out your Happy Halloween and your Bats.  Now apply the Wink of Stella  to the spider web, the Happy Halloween, the bat and spider.  Put a little of our amazing Deluxe Glue   (Precision Glue Press) onto the tips of the spider web and add it to the window of the cutout layer (remember the cutout was lightly burnished and put on the base card – this makes the spiderweb stand out even more.  Add some of our Black Crafty Foam Tape to the top layer and center it on the card base.  The patterns should line up but because one is lighter than the other, they compliment each other nicely!

Time to add your Happy Halloween, spider and bat to the top layer.  I adhered the Happy Halloween and bat with our  Deluxe Glue   (Precision Glue Press)  and the spider is adhered with one of our Black 3D Micro Foam Squares  – it’s the perfect size.  

Now it’s time to add the Crystal Glaze to the body of the spider and the bat.  OH MY GOODNESS!!!!  It’s the fine details that just throw this over the top!  :0)
