Here's another awesome technique I learned at Leadership - using the Delicate Details Lace Tape as a stencil! We used this technique plus two new stamp sets, Hearts a Flutter and Ciao, Baby!, to make this card at my recent Club Classes. Enjoy!
Uses Hearts a Flutter Clear-Mount Set, Ciao, Baby! Wood-Mount Set, and En Francais background stamp plus Clear-Mount Block B, Clear-Mount Block D, Regal Rose Classic Stampin' Pad, Rose Red Classic Stampin' Pad, Subtles Collection Stampin' Write Markers (Rose Red), Regal Rose Card Stock, Rose Red Card Stock, Very Vanilla Card Stock, Silver Stampin' Dazzle Marker, White Delicate Details Lace Tape, Silver Soda Pop Tops, Stampin' Dimensionals, SNAIL Adhesive, 2-Way Glue Pen, Sticky Strip, Sponge Daubers, Stampin' Trimmer, Paper Snips, Small Heart Punch, Owl Builder Punch, Big Shot Die-Cutting Machine, Multipurpose Platform, Standard Cutting Pads, Hearts Collection Framelits, Hearts a Flutter Framelits, and cardboard shim.
Cut a length of Delicate Details Lace Tape just wider than your card stock layer. Lightly adhere the Lace Tape to the card stock. Then, use a Sponge Dauber to apply ink over and around the Lace Tape. Carefully peel the Lace Tape up to reveal the stenciled pattern. You can reuse the Lace Tape many times. To store it between uses, just adhere it to a section of the plastic runner it is shipped on, gently wipe off excess ink with a clean tissue or paper towel, and store it in a cello bag or empty Clear-Mount Stamp Case.
You can easily flatten the Soda Pop Tops with the Big Shot. I've found that if you use the Multipurpose Platform so it is completely open (no tabs in place) the Soda Pop Tops tend to flatten in a more even manner preserving the circle shape. Just build a sandwich of one Standard Cutting Pad, a piece of thick cardboard (similar to that our Specialty Designer Series Papers are packaged with), the Soda Pop Top upside down, and the other Standard Cutting Pad. I use Sticky Strip to adhere my flattened Soda Pop Tops to my projects.
