Dream A Little Friday Fun

We love what the design team has created this week sharing tutorials using stencils with watercolor to embossing pastes or applying the letterpress technique for dry embossing. It’s amazing what you can do with these metal stencils with the right care and a few tools. Earlier this week we talked mentioned properly removing the stencil from it’s packaging and easy cleaning after use, today it’s the tools that help make stenciling fun!

Dreamweaver Stencils Embossing Paste

We have seven high quality embossing pastes to choose from on our website. Add almost any color medium to the white or clear pastes for even more options.

 

Dreamweaver Stencils Tools

 

Use the Palette Knife to mix in coloring mediums, spread paste over smaller stencils or load the Paste Spreader to apply paste evenly across the larger stencils.

All that’s left is choosing stencils! You can purchase stencils from the Dreamweaver Stencils section of the Stampendous website where we are continually adding more. During the transition you can still shop the Stencil with Style website to access the entire collection.

Need some help getting started? There are great tips and techniques on how to use these wonderful products here.

With such fun new products being talked about, it’s only right to share some fantastic projects from these designers today!

Easy Clean Stenciling

Stenciling can be fun when you have a system in place for each step of the process. Yesterday we mentioned how to properly remove the stencil from packaging and today it’s about cleaning the stencil. Being able to clean your stencils immediately after use helps you quickly move on to the rest of your project.  Here’s some information to keep you stenciling in style.

• Keep the stencil flat when cleaning.
• Use a flat tray or flat bottom container like our Stufftainers with enough water to cover the stencil and tools. Set them into the water until you’re ready to clean.
• Gently scrub with a soft brush while the stencil stays flat in the tray.
• Place on a clean soft cloth to air dry or use a second cloth to dry while keeping it on a flat surface.

Here’s a fantastic project today from veteran stencil designer,

Dreaming on a Tuesday!

We’re celebrating our new acquisition of Dreamweaver Stencils again this week. There’s just so much to learn and enjoy with these new tools! So much new inspiration from new team members joining us, and so very many new products to play with and enjoy!

When you first get your Dreamweaver Stencils, it’s very important that you start taking care of them right away! Even taking them out of their packaging can be a little tricky. You want to avoid bending the stencil at all, so that you’ll have the flattest, smoothest surface to work with for all the great techniques. We’ve linked to a great video on YouTube on every one of our new stencils to remind you about opening the product carefully. Always BEND THE PAPER, NOT THE STENCIL!  Take a look:

Now go have a look at the terrific inspiration we have for you today!!

Product Theme for Making Art

This has been a great week of making art, seeing how the design team from Spectrum Noir and our own talented team have created such a great variety of projects. Did you notice our theme week House-Mouse Designs® appear here and there? The gallery for this theme has grown and included here on this post, but first let’s take a look at the stamps that were the inspiration for this theme week.

Isn’t the image of this stamp the truth! Once we start stamping it’s likely to turn into a repeatable moment! House-Mouse Monica has turned into an avid stamper with this paw print stamp.

Making Prints

I always thought there was a special touch to flowers that made them so beautiful and now I’m thinking it’s all because Maxwell has a paintbrush and paint well.

Painted Pansies

Oh dear, a painting mishap between a paintbrush and tail! This adorable stamp is perfect to send an encouraging message, apology or to scrapbook those messy painting sessions of your children.

Black Friday is Here!!

 

 

Our Black Friday sale on some of our most wonderful Christmas Images and our entire stock of Stack Art Stamps and Kits will extend through Cyber Monday on December 1st!

Visit www.stampendous.com  and you’ll see our Featured Items right on the front page. Of course we’ve got lots of ideas how you could use these terrific products for your upcoming Holiday Preparations!

Our Stack Art Tag Kits are darling and simple mixed media kits of die cut craftboard, adhesive, greetings, etc. But they’re also the perfect answer for your Christmas Tag needs! Our in-house Sample Artist, Debi Hammons, took a bunch of these great tags and created these wonderful projects!

Lots of our House-Mouse Designs® images are the perfect fit for the terrific tag pieces! Add some micro glitter to the included die-cut adhesive pieces, some festive ribbon, and WOW… super easy, homemade tags or ornaments!

Patterned papers can really spruce up your tags easily, as well. You can adhere them with the adhesive shapes then just sand the edges for quick easy coverage!

Don’t forget the embellishments like Shaved Ice or Glitter! Our Winter and Christmas Micro Glitter Kits are perfect for these projects!

Debi stamped these images on regular cardstock then just stuck them to the kraftboard tags with the adhesive die cuts. OR you can just color right on the kraftboard tags with colored pencils for some terrific looks.

Our delightful new snowmen from 2014 look so adorable colored right on the tag with colored pencils.

Lots of other images fit perfectly, and will work well for Holiday Gift Giving!!

The tags even work perfectly for photo ornaments or keepsakes. Why not put one school photo from each year on a tag for a set of ornaments celebrating each child! At our super low sale price, you can buy plenty of kits!!

Of course after the holidays are over, the tags are ideal for celebrating the rest of the year, as well! (Just a little secret…you’re going to want to stock up… we won’t be reordering the Stack Art products when they’re gone!)
