((VIDEO)) Stencil Techniques with Distress Oxide Inks

Hello crafty friends! It's Jess and today I have a card and a video with a coffee themed card using the Lots of Mugs stencil, the Coffee First Stamp Set and the Friends Like You Stamp Set.

Someone asked me if you could cut word stamps with the ScanNCut digital cutting machine and I thought that these stamps from Create a Smile would be a perfect test case. Turns out you can cut out these beautiful script greetings very easily and add great impact to a card.

I stamped my words and coffee mug and cut them out with my digital cutting machine. To create the stencil background, I covered my Bristol smooth cardstock with Distress Oxide ink and then 'stamped' it by spritzing it with water and laying in on the card. You can get more details in the video:







If you don't have a digital cutter you can always fussy cut around your images. Also remember to be creative with your stencils. You can do so much more than put ink through them.
