TLC486 ~ Die Cut Stenciling ~ {6/16/2014}

[fattire7]

Hello everyone! Lets get crafting! Today I am featuring a technique that was just one of the recently added tutorials here on Splitcoaststampers. It is Die Cut Stenciling. I am sure by now you know that I am totally in LOVE with backgrounds. I also like to utilize my crafting tools to their fullest potential. So, this week I would like to see you all making your own stencils and creating a beautiful background for your cards or projects.

This technique involves taking a single die and cutting out a piece of cardstock in a way that creates a pattern. You know that most stencils are made from plastic or acetate. You can use plastic or acetate and create a stencil for your collection or you can do like I do and just create something I use once or twice and pitch it. Totally up to you!

This technique was originally featured in the tutorial section here on Splitcoaststampers by Korin (SweetnSassyStamps). Thanks Korin for such a fun technique.

I made a stencil with dies, but used it for a focal point rather than a bg so I could combine challenges.

Jenn, I didn't use a diecut, but I used the crop-a-dile II to make my stencil. Would it still count for this challenge? I was having second thoughts and didn't want to add the keyword, if it wouldn't work. Here is my card. Thanks, Irene

Great technique! Since I didn't get to play in my craft room all last week, I am really looking forward to playing and trying this!

Super-fun! I have to admit that I wasn't taking great care when I cut my chevrons on Staurday night, because I hadn't been planning to use the negative!! So they're slightly crooked relative to each other. But this discarded negative sitting on the floor by my Big Shot was just SO perfect to use today.

I think I'll see if I can make a permanent one out of something a bit sturdier...

Not sure my stencil qualifies as a background, but I did make it with a die.

What a fun challenge today, Jenn. I made a stencil by running a couple of sizes of my Spellbinder's star dies through the machine a few times. Can't wait to browse the gallery!

Super fun technique! Here's mine: Butterfly Smiles

[pvilbaum]

I couldn't think of any dies that would give me much of a pattern so I cut some shapes on my cricut to make the stencils with.
