Stenciled Backgrounds | Paste and Glitter

Hello! I am delighted to be a guest on the Spellbinders blog discussing how to create stenciled backgrounds with modeling paste and white glitter. I hope you will head on over to take a look at the three projects I created with Light & Fluffy Modeling Paste and Art Glitter Baby Baubs White Glitter.

Spellbinders | Patterned Paper Focus

Hello! Today, I am sharing a gratitude card showcasing a recent addition to the Spellbinders store – Paper Rose patterned paper. Patterned paper offers a quick and convenient way to add character to your card backgrounds.

The Morning Memories 6×6 pack features subtle colors and patterns. As to not overwhelm the paper, I created a floral cluster for the card center using the Anemones die set. I cut the cluster from a metallic paper and Snowdrift cardstock. I inlaid the Snowdrift cardstock into the metallic outline.

The sentiment was letterpressed with the BetterPress You Are Everything Sentiments set in Cosmic Sky ink on Snowdrift cardstock.

I added the anemones and sentiment to the card with foam adhesive.
