Duo Designs


It is always a great time hopping with Tombow USA and we are thrilled to be hopping over the weekend with them. Our design teams will be sharing some pretty awesome projects with products from our prizes list, you will not want to miss out on a single day!  So, you've seen the fabulous Stampendous Metal Stencil Duo Sets and our new Fitted Frames Die Sets, what you don't see are the wonderful Tombow products holding it all together!

For today, I've created two cards at one time with a fun Batik look using the Blossom Metal Stencil Due Set.  One card uses the positive of the stencils and the other card uses the spray-inked negative side of the stencils.  Here's the positive:


And a close-up that shows the sparkle:


Here's the negative side that utilizes the ink spray residue on the stencils by flipping the stencil and rubbing the ink onto a blank card front:

And, another close-up:

Here's what I used to create both cards:

Memories Mists™ in Mango Lemonade, Iridescent, Cherry Smoothie, Fruit Punch and Bright Gold
Jet Black Archival Ink™ Pad by Ranger®
African Daisy Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®
Roselle Cardstock by Bazzill Basics Paper®
Watermelon 1.5" Sheer Ribbon by May Arts Ribbon®
Fuchsia 1/2" Solid Wrinkled Ribbon by May Arts Ribbon®

Here's what I did to create both cards:

Trim two pieces of white paper to fit as card fronts.
Lay down butterfly stencil while blocking off excess white space and spritz with yellow mist.
Pick up stencil and place on other card front and gently press down on stencil.
Repeat the same process once more with the yellow mist and butterfly stencil and then twice with the pink mist and flower stencil.
Spritz Iridescent mist on both card fronts (I used a heavier application on the "Amazing" card).
Splatter some of the Fruit Punch mist and then some of the Bright Gold mist onto each card front.
Stamp both sentiments onto a piece of white paper.
Tape dies over each sentiment and corresponding cardstock colors and run through a die cutting machine.
Spritz die cut sentiments with mists.
Trim cardstocks to create each in an A2 tent fold card base.
Using a small amount of Mono Adhesive on the back of each card front, attach ribbons.
Using additional Mono Adhesive, attach card fronts to bases and sentiments to their mats.
Using 3D Foam Tabs, attach sentiments to cards.
