CAS Stencil April 2020 Challenge

Welcome to a new challenge hosted by Cathy!

Message from Cathy
Hi everyone, gilding flakes come in a gorgeous array of colours and can really add shimmer and shine! You can apply them with double sided adhesive tape, tacky when dry gel or embossing powder, or glue that is tacky when dry. Just remember to keep fans off and no heavy breathing!

Videos Tutorials:

Gilding Flakes with Stencils by Crafting While Caffeinated (11:25) - using tacky when dry gel medium.

How to apply Gilding Flakes with Duo Stencils by Neat & Tangled (10:48) - using flitter glue applied with a brush (great tip) and spreading tiny amounts of flakes with her fingertips.

Gilding the Funky Foliage by Clarity Stamp (18:31) - flakes through a stencil onto double sided sticky sheet, if you have time it's a good laugh too! Think you'd need a fairly robust stencil too, not a delicate one.

Please follow the challenge rules:

• Cards only with stenciling, following monthly theme
• CAS design (clean and simple) - definition on sidebar
• Include link to challenge on your blog post
• Enter up to three (3) times

CAS Stencil March 2020 Top Picks

A big thank you to everyone who joined my Heat Embossing challenge.
It was lovely visiting everybody and seeing what you all made and I hope you all enjoyed doing this technique!.
Our gallery looked amazing again this month!

Our Top Pick for March

Greta

Greta's stunning sparkly embossed Dahlia in it's soothing colours was a definite hit with us here at CAS Stencil.  The addition of the same sparkle embossing to the bold die cut sentiment made for a perfect CAS card.  We loved it!

Congratulations, Greta!

CAS Stencil March 2020 Challenge

Welcome to a new challenge hosted by Viv!

Message from Viv
My very first time hosting and since coming onto the DT,
I have learned that Stencils are not just about inks and sponging!
Use your stencils instead of stamps and heat emboss to produce some lovely classy cards!
I hope you will join in this month and share your makes with us. x

CAS Stencil February 2020 Top Picks

Working with foils can be challenging, so we were thrilled to see all the beautiful cards in the February gallery! There are various techniques using foil and it was great to learn some of them in the video tutorials as well as from each other. Thanks to all who joined in the fun...we really enjoyed seeing your creations!

Our Top Pick for February

Mac (The Sweetest of Peas)

We really love your card, Mac! Your layered stenciling was the perfect way to showcase the elegance of the foiled flourish and the shimmer on your glazed flower is just beautiful! Adding to the ‘WOW Factor’ of this card is the striking color palette and lovely CAS design! Amazing photography to capture all that fabulous shine, too. Congratulations, Mac!

Congratulations, Mac!
