New Stencils from The Crafter’s Workshop!
I adhere a piece (or as many needed) of tape to the edge of the stencil if I am worried about going over the edge but don’t have enough space between the edge and the design to comfortably rely on using a piece of scrap paper as a barrier. I also use it at times to make sure I only get one part of a design. This works fantastic – just make sure that when you do this the sticky side is facing UP and not down onto your project. Your foam blending tool (if applying ink) will not stick to it – it just glides right over the tacky tape! If you’re using a mist that still works – it will not absorb.
Also, as long as you remove the tape when you’re done, there should be no sticky residue or harm to your stencil. I do love a good trick to get more from my stencils.
Speaking of stencil love, that new mosaic leaf (shown above) is a favorite, and another absolutely “what did I ever do without this” stencil for me is definitely the mini confetti stencil.
This one is cool as-is, but where it truly rocks is used in small bits and pieces to accent a project. It can look so soft, so random, even I sometimes wonder how I got certain splatters of color and then I remember – it is my magic new stencil! Here you can see my finished scrapbook layout:
