Karen here, sharing an All Occasion card that I created using TCW stencils. Creating your own backgrounds for your cards gives you flexibility to customize with colors and preferred themes of choice. In the card below, I was able to add pops of color using ink sprays and the Netting (TCW484) stencil to create an All Occasion card that can be tailored to any theme. Take a peek at the tutorial below:

Supplies

White Core’dinations Cardstock (2 Sheets)

Black Cardstock

Patterned Paper

Stencil (Netting-TCW484)

Dylusions Ink Sprays (Vibrant Turquoise, Postbox Red, Lemon Zest)

Distress Stain (Vintage Photo)

Foam Tool

Ribbon

Buttons

Pins

Embossing Folder

Spellbinders Die

Die Cut Machine

Corner Rounder

Adhesive: Xyron 9” Creative Station

 

Step One: Lay stencil on Core’dinations cardstock white cardstock and spray inks to transfer Netting (TCW484) to cardstock.

Step Two: Lay 2^nd sheet of Core’dinations cardstock on top of inked stencil. This extends the use of the ink that remains on the top of the stencil, enabling a reversed image. The reversed image was used for this card.

Step Three: Trim cardstock down and emboss using die cut machine.

 

Step Four: Apply distress stain to the embossed card layer.

Step Five: Enhance card layer with foam tool and vintage photo ink. Set aside.

Step Six: Create scalloped edge die cut using die cut machine and die.

Step Seven: Adhere card together using Xyron 9” Creative Station.

Step Eight: Continue layering card together and adhere bow, button and pins
