We are encouraging all of you to play along with the challenge of creating with Dreamweaver Stencils and Art Glitter*, preferably using the Double-Glitter Technique with a wedding theme. Just link your creation to the Mr. Linky on the Dream It Up! blog, or email pics to lynell@dreamweaverstencils.com, for an opportunity to win one of four fabulous glitter and stencil prize packages.

Have you noticed how many cupcake shops are popping up all around?   Within a 10 minute drive, I have my choice of Sprinkles, Kara's Cupcakes, Nothing Bundt Cakes (love this name) and, the latest addition, SusieCakes.  So it was a no-brainer that I chose LL551 Cupcakes for the last double glitter card of the month.

If you've been following along this month, I'm sure you could do this technique in your sleep.  For the newbies, here we go:

Adhere one side of the double-sided mounting paper (MPDS) to card stock, leaving the protective covering on the top side until you are ready to position your stencil.   Rub the back side of the stencil with Handmade Hawaiian Coconut Soap (DHHS), making sure to cover the entire stencil.  This will keep the stencil from making a tight bond with the adhesive.  Carefully brush the soap "crumbs" from the stencil openings, making sure not to bend the stencil.  Remove the protective paper from the double sided mounting paper and position your stencil, soap side down.

Use removable tape or blue painter's tape to mask off all but the chocolate kiss, cherry and candle.   I used Art Glitter's #58 Brown for the chocolate kiss,  #119 Cranberry for the cherry and #93 Lemone and #97 Nirvana for the candle and flame.  Apply glitter using a cut off straw as a scoop and rub in with your finger.  Tap of excess and return to jar.  For the frostings I used  #95 Summer Sea,  #215 Wild Rose and #87 Hot Kiss.    #90 Melone was used for the cupcake bases. 

Place the glittered image, stencil side down, on a flat surface and begin removing the card stock.  Be sure to keep the stencil flat against your work surface, moving or "walking" your fingers along the stencil as you peel back the card stock so that the stencil always remains flat and does not bend.  Apply #86 Angel Dust to the exposed areas and rub in with your finger.  Trim the image, adhere to coordinating solid or patterned paper and you're done!

Are you ready for more glittery stencil fun? 

We've had a lot of butterflies in the garden lately and there's even more beauties on Pinterest, making my decision on what to glitter very easy.   There are many butterfly designs in the Dreamweaver collection and for today's project I chose LL59, Three Butterflies.   If you've been following along on the double glitter challenge this month, you've probably committed the step to memory, but if this is your first visit, here's what to do:

Adhere one side of the double-sided mounting paper (MPDS) to card stock, leaving the protective covering on the top side until you are ready to position your stencil.   Rub the back side of the stencil with Handmade Hawaiian Coconut Soap (DHHS), making sure to cover the entire stencil.  This will keep the stencil from making a tight bond with the adhesive.  Carefully brush the soap "crumbs" from the stencil openings, making sure not to bend the stencil.  Remove the protective paper from the double sided mounting paper and position your stencil, soap side down.

Use removable tape or painter's tape to mask off the areas where you don't want glitter.   I used Art Glitter's #6 Dubonnet  opaque glitter for the body and outside edge of the butterfly wings (use a cut off straw as a scoop) and rub in with your finger.  Tap of excess and return to jar.  For the rest of the wings, I randomly scattered #196 Lion's Mane and #197 Flax.  For the greenery, I used #109 Calvado.  Place the glittered image, stencil side down, on a flat surface and begin removing the card stock.  Be sure to keep the stencil flat against your work surface, moving or "walking" your fingers along the stencil as you peel back the card stock so that the stencil always remains flat and does not bend.  Apply #86 Angel Dust to the exposed areas and rub in with your finger.  Trim the image, adhere to coordinating solid or patterned paper and you're done!

Are you ready for more glittery stencil fun?  

 

 

  This stencil, LM266 Cat Watch, is one of my all-time favorites and it's perfect for the double glitter technique.  Here's what to do:  Adhere one side of the double-sided mounting paper (MPDS) to card stock, leaving the protective covering on the top side until you are ready to position your stencil.   Rub the back side of the Cat Watch stencil with Handmade Hawaiian Coconut Soap (DHHS), making sure to cover the entire stencil.  This will keep the stencil from making a tight bond with the adhesive.  Carefully brush the soap "crumbs" from the stencil openings, making sure not to bend the stencil.  Remove the protective paper from the double sided mounting paper and position your stencil, soap side down.
 

Apply Art Glitter's #507 Black Wing microfine opaque glitter and rub in with your finger.  Remove excess and return to jar.  Place the glittered image, stencil side down, on a flat surface and begin removing the card stock.  Be sure to keep the stencil flat against your work surface, moving or "walking" your fingers along the stencil as you peel back the card stock so that the stencil always remains flat and does not bend.  Apply #86 Angel Dust to the exposed areas and rub in with your finger.  Trim the image and set it aside.

 

The sentiment is from LG741 Kitty Words.  Follow the steps above for the double glitter technique.   Trim the sentiment and you're ready to assemble your card.  I you'd like to see this technique in action, Lynell has a great video here.   Check it out!

Dream Teaming with Art Institute Glitter

Here's this week's double-glitter project:

 

And here's how to do it . . . Adhere one side of the double-sided mounting paper (MPDS) to card stock.  Leave the protective covering on the top side until you are ready to position your stencil.   Rub the back side of the Rose Tree (LG744) stencil with Handmade Hawaiian Coconut Soap (DHHS), making sure to cover the entire stencil.  This will keep the stencil from making a tight bond with the adhesive.  Carefully brush the soap "crumbs" from the stencil openings, making sure not to bend the stencil.  Remove the protective paper from the double sided mounting paper and position your stencil, soap side down.

For the rose, I used a combination of Art Glitter's #119 Cranberry and #215 Wild Rose for the rose and #198 Green Briar for the leaves and stem.  Cut a straw in to 3" pieces and then cut one end at an angle to make a little scoop.  This is perfect for getting into small areas.   I glittered the leaves and stem first, holding the stencil at an angle and carefully applying glitter to the area closest to the rose petals and letting the rest "waterfall" on to the adhesive.  Rub the glitter in with your finger and brush away any excess.  Unused glitter can be returned to the container.  The Wild Rose and Cranberry glitters were applied randomly to give a shaded effect to the rose petals.

Place the glittered image, stencil side down, on a flat surface and begin removing the card stock.  Be sure to keep the stencil flat against your work surface, moving or "walking" your fingers along the stencil as you peel back the card stock so that the stencil always remains flat and does not bend.  Apply #86 Angel Dust to the exposed areas and rub in with your finger.  Trim the image and it's ready to mat on solid or patterned paper.
