Magenta Super Saturday - New Stencils from Magenta!

Welcome back to Super Saturday. You can also see today’s post on the Magenta blog here.

I love, love the beautiful new stencils in Magenta’s new release. The new release also contains lots of beautiful stamps and you can see them all here.

When I recently needed a sympathy card, I reached for the new Floral Corner stencil and my gold embossing paste. I taped the stencil to a piece of navy blue cardstock that I had cut to 4” x 5 ¼”. Since the stencil is slightly smaller than the cardstock, I also used some Post-it notes to mask off the side of the stencil to avoid getting any paste on the cardstock.

I applied the paste then removed the tape on three sides of the stencil, leaving the tape on the top of the stencil as a hinge. I lifted the stencil gently away from the cardstock and set it aside to dry.

I immediately washed the stencil with warm water.

While the paste was drying, I cut a piece of gold metallic cardstock to 4 1/8” x 5 3/8”. Then I used the Rows of Diamonds stencil, along with an embossing mat in my Big Shot to emboss the design onto the cardstock. To create the “sandwich” to emboss the cardstock with a stencil, open the platform to Tab 1, place a cutting mat on top, then the rubber embossing mat, the cardstock, the stencil and another cutting mat. Depending on your machine, you may need to add a shim to get the design to emboss onto the cardstock.

When the stencil paste was dry, I put the piece in my MISTI then stamped “with Sympathy” and embossed with gold embossing powder. I assembled the layers and place them on a navy blue A2 card. I added a few gold dots from a sheet of peel offs for an accent.

All of the beautiful stencils in the new release will work very well with embossing paste, glitter, foil, and many other applications. I hope you will try them.

Thanks for visiting my blog today!
