New Stencil Designs

Hey, Crafty Peeps. While waiting to take pictures of my Beaded Snowflake Tutorial, Part 2, I thought I'd show you a few more stencil designs, which you can find in my Etsy shop, here.

I'm loving using stencils in my mixed media projects (I wish I had a few recent ones to show you, but alas, the turkey is in the oven). These are great for combining as overlays.

Here's my "Confused" stencil, which is an 8x8 design.

Here's my "Road Map" tag stencil. These are rapidly becoming my favorites, because they store so easily, hooked on a ring.

"Pebbles"

"Medallion"

"Confetti"

Thanks for looking!

More Stencil Designs

Hey, Peeps. I've been getting a lot of great feedback about my stencils. Some customers have said that they didn't expect them to be so nice. Of course, I have a wonderful machine (Black Cat Cougar) that cuts clean, crisp edges. It's amazing, and I'm so grateful that HubbyDoc encouraged me to buy it.
I've been having so much fun designing. Here are some of my latest designs.

Three Wonky Trees

This stencil has a lot of versatile uses, and I include the tree cutouts as well, that are great for using as a mask.

Flower Medallion

This is a whimsical design that can be used in part, or in its entirety. Just use the flower parts, or the circles, or the center section for a card. 

Wired Trees

This is one of my favorites, since the tree section can be used as a tree, or a Santa hat, or you can turn it upside down and use it for a cornucopia for autumn or Thanksgiving. 

Arrows

These are my new favorite masks. I like them almost as much as my keys.

So, feel free to check out my Etsy shop, and when you buy my stencils, you won't be disappointed. And as always, I ask my customers to send me pictures of their creations so that I can blog...and tweet...and Pin....

Fondly, Tami

A Few More Original Stencil Designs

This is just a quick post to show you creative peeps some of my new stencil listings in my Etsy shop. These are tag designs- perfectly sized for your smaller projects, including tags and cards, but they're also great for use with the small Gelli Plate. I hope to have a post in the near future with some layered looks. Stay tuned, Peeps! And again, thanks so much for your support. My stencils have been flying off the shelves! 

Fondly, Tami

More Gelli Plate® Fun

Hey, Froggers! I've had a little bit of time to play lately, and I mean a little. My back problems keep me from sitting for an extended period of time, so I'm eeking in what I can. I've had loads of fun designing more stencils, and hopefully in the near future, I'll be selling them on Etsy.

This is my key stencil that I just cut out on a manila folder. I love the way it turned out. These keys are my original designs, and when I created them, it was the first time I felt like an "artist".
And, this stencil design (made of durable stencil plastic and not manila folders!) is available in my Etsy shop here.

Here's the first print. Again, I used a manila folder from a stack that I was going to throw out, until I realized that that would be a big mistake!

When I used the stencil on the Gelli Plate for the first time, it stuck a little too much to the plate, so after I took it off, I covered it with clear gesso. I haven't used it since, so I'll let you know how the next printing fares.

Here's the second print. I had covered the original black on the plate with white paint, and this is what I got. I think I put on a little too much white paint, but that's the fun of Gelli printing. You just don't really know what you're going to get.

And here's the last print, or "ghost print". As usual, this is my favorite print.

And, here are some stencils I plan on playing with in the future.

Stay tuned! Fondly, Tami
