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!”
