Artistic Stenciled Leaf featuring our November 2025 Card Kit!
Hello everyone! Heather Hoffman here today, and I had lots of fun playing with the new November 2025 Card Kit: Give Thanks! Keep reading to learn more about how I created this card:
I started off by doing a bit of a creative stenciling technique with the Red Maple layering stencil set included in the kit, and several of the ink cubes. On a panel of white cardstock, I used 3 of the 4 stencils, skipping the more solid layer. Instead of ink blending with blending brushes, I used the mini ink cubes in Sangria, Honey, and Cabbage directly over the stencil, not worrying about perfect coverage, and just very gently pressing and/or gliding over each stencil layer. Doing this meant the ink didn’t go all the way to the edges, but left these slightly open white areas. I love the finished effect!
Next up, I added some gold splatters using the Tim Holtz Ranger Distress Tarnished Brass paint. I mixed a bit with some water, then flicked it over my panel with a paint brush. I set that aside to dry, and started die cutting my main sentiment. I used the cute Thanks die that was in the kit, cutting the shadow layer from white cardstock, and the detail layer from the included Tim Holtz Idea-logy Gold metallic cardstock, adhering the layers together with liquid glue.
Once that panel dried, I adhered the main sentiment with foam adhesive, then stamped the secondary sentiments from the Small Thanks stamp set directly on the panel. I rounded off one corner, and mounted it with more foam on a card base created with some of the Ivory cardstock in the kit, rounding off the same corner so they matched. I added a few Spellbinders Satin Gold flat sequins, and a tiny bow created with Lawn Fawn white hemp twine!
Have you ever tried using a stencil with an ink cube direct to paper? It’s such a fun technique, with unique results! Let me know if you give it a try!
