Today, Heather is sharing on her blog some favorite design tips for creating custom stencils with dies to use on your projects:
“Stencils have definitely been gaining in popularity to use on paper crafting projects. They are great for adding a background design and can help add a lot of depth and texture to a project – especially with all of the mixed media techniques that are out there! I used some of my dies to create a few of my own custom stencils and had fun playing and experimenting what I could do with them on some projects that I am sharing with you today. I hope you enjoy them and are inspired to try out making your own custom stencils!”

It’s too bad that the cute papers she used for the envelopes are no longer available.
