Pumpkins and more Pumpkins!

It's Sue here bringing on the pumpkins!

I do like all pumpkins in the fall, and this pumpkin trio stencil from Blank Page Muse fits the bill. For this card I only used the big pumpkin from the stencil but there are actually three on the stencil.

I used Pearl White stencil butter for this card. It's a smoother style texture paste that does go on like butter. It comes in lots of colors but I only have a couple but, you know, you can always shop at Blank Page Muse to get whatever color you like.

Birthday card with Stencil Butters

Hello from design team member, Heidi. Today I would like to share a card that is primarily stenciling. I used two colors of stencil butter, which are found in the Blank Page Muse shop. The ones I used are the pearl ones, and they are just sooooooo pretty! The photos do not do this justice - it was so hard to capture!

I just randomly applied the two colors stencil butter over the stencil to cover the stencil, and then when I scraped off the excess, they blended and mixed to get a really pretty look. The base for this was the silver glitter alcohol ink cardstock. It does hold up well to stencil butter.

I didn’t want to cover up any of the pretty stencil, so I used a fun circle sentiment over top, matted the card in the same color turquoise cardstock, and called the card complete.

If you haven’t had a chance to try these stencil butters, they are really a lot of fun, and easy and smooth to use.

The products I used in this card are:

The Crafters Workship Wave 6x6 stencil

Turquoise Stencil Butter

Denim Stencil Butter

I Brake for Stamps sentiment from Thinking, Happy, Get Well, Thanks set

More Stencil Butters & Projects

Hello again from design team member, Heidi!

I am making more projects with the Stencil Butters that are available in the Blank Page Muse store. Part of this post will be me playing around with them and then I will use a couple of the backgrounds for projects.

The first thing I did was to stencil over some of the Pam Bray patterned papers. These papers are definitely thick enough to stand up to the stencil paste. I really liked the nice opaque coverage.

I then stenciled some of the apricot colored paste of the paper bag my order came in. I messed up and a bunch got under the edge of the stencil. So I went over it again with a metallic gold paste. This one looks really cool in person and I plan to use it!

As I was going along, I randomly was using some excess paste onto scrap paper (this is the back of an order sheet, so just regular copy paper). It was looking like this in the end, so I decided to thin out some of the red paste and just paint over the top. (This is one of the neat things about the paste, you can watercolor with it!) I wiped the excess off with a wipe and the parts that were dry resisted the paint and I think this is the coolest background. You can see the result in the finished piece below.

The top piece is a home décor item that I finished using Ephemera from Pam Bray’s Masquerade line.

The stamps for the finished card are from the Woodland Stamp set and Petals and Flowers stamp set, both in the Blank Page Muse shop.

I hope this gave you and idea of some different ways to use your stencil butters! I will be back with more ideas another day. Right now, I ‘d better go clean off my craft desk! Have a great day!

Stencil Butters and some cute Monster cards!

Hello from design team member, Heidi!

Blank Page Muse is now selling The Crafter’s Workshop Stencil butters! Kim sent me a few to try and I want to show you how much fun they are!

(Spoiler alert, when I got done playing with the ones I was sent, I immediately placed an order for more colors on my own dime! They are fun!)

The neat thing about these is that you can use them like a smooth modeling paste over stencils, they are nice and opaque! But you can also use some water on a brush and get a watery look with them too. So with one paste you can get two looks. They also come in shimmers and non-shimmers (just take a look on the website at the close up photo and it is obvious which are which). I think I like the shimmers better but can see how the flat ones would work better in many project types.

The two easiest things to do with these is to apply them over stencils. If you don’t want to use a lot of product, go ahead and apply it over your stencil with your fingers. This seems to use a lot less than if you used a palette knife and it dries the fastest! Above, I applied it over textured cardstock, which looks so neat! I loved the tone on tone look there too!

Second, I blended two colors over a stencil. This time, I didn’t want to get my fingers dirty so I applied it with a baby wipe. This technique is a little different because more product builds up on the edge of the stencil opening and then more wipes off in the centers of the design so you get more texture. They blend really well too.

I finished these cards with two of my favorite monsters in the Carmen Medlin designs which is part of the I Brake for Stamps Shoppe. I love these guys because I can literally color them any color and they always look cute!
