One of our loyal customers, Mary, is back again with another DIY that she shared with us! Last time, she wow’d us with her table runners that she created for a pirate-themed reception. This time, she created an elegant background for her collection of plates using our Chrysanthemum Stencil! We love everything from the colors to its composition, especially how she taped off the sides to make a perfect rectangle.

It really is a breath of fresh air when our customers use our stencils as we all get ready for Spring! How are you prepping for Spring? We want to see what you create with our stencils. Share it with us @Stencil1 and you may be featured in our next post!

Easter is on its way! Get ready for the joyous holiday with Stencil1! We created these adorable bunny cards and gifts tags perfect for any gift basket or bag.

You will need a blank card set and gift tags, a Stencil1 Stamp Set, and a variety of ink pads in different colors.

First, choose the stamp you would like to use first. Here, we are using the we’re using the first layer of the bunny stamp from the Bunny, Flower, and Scallop Stamp Set. Peel off the backing of the stamp and attach it to a clear stamp block.

Next, grab the ink pad of your choice and dip your stamp into the ink pad.

Get your surface ready and stamp away!

Using the second layer of the bunny stamp, dip your stamp into a contrasting ink pad and stamp right above the first layer.

Continue to play with different stamps and colors when completing your card set and gift tags. What’s so amazing about these stamps is that they’re super easy and clean to use. Great for any small DIY projects.

Be sure to share your cards and gifts with the people around you as you celebrate the Easter holiday! Share your creation with us @Stencil1!
