Two of my favorite companies Stampendous and Dreamweaver! This week I'm using my very favorite Dreamweaver Stencil Gears! I'm going to show you 2 different ways to use the same stencil!(So be sure to check back on Friday) Today I'll share with you how to make this sparkly glitter card!
I took a photo at an angle so you could see the true colors. It's a really warm purple and dark turqouise and it REALLY sparkles!
Items needed:
Dreamweaver Gears Stencil
Stampendous AS Cling Steampunk Set
Stampendous Happy Greetings Perfectly Clear Stamps Set
Stampendous Opaque Embossing Powders - sky blue
Stampendous Micro Glitter - teal and purple
Stampendous Sticky Panels
Cardstock: white, teal
VersaMark Watermark Ink
Heat Gun
Zip Dry™ Paper Glue by Beacon Adhesives
Instructions:
Step 1. Start with 5 1/2" x 4 1/4" white cardstock. Peel and stick Stampendous Sticky Panels and place onto white cardstock. Place stencil down and press firmly. Tape edges with micropore tape. Sprinkle with teal glitter, and shake off excess. Peel up tape and stencil. Sprinkle with purple glitter, and shake off excess.
Step 2. Trim glittered paper, and glue centered onto 5 5/8" x 4 1/2" teal card. Cut 5 5/8" x 3/4" white cardstock strip. Stamp sentiment using VersaMark ink , and sprinkle with sky blue embossing powder. Heat set and glue to card. Stamp clock onto white cardstock using VersaMark ink , and sprinkle with sky blue embossing powder. Heat set and glue to card.
UPDATE: DW has been suggesting the use of a natural soap (they sell on stencilwithstyle.com) that you rub on the stencil before laying it down on Sticky Panel adhesive. It’s a great way to release the stencil without bending it. I will definitely try it!

Hi Amy,
I am a certified Dreamweaver instructor. If you soap your
stencil before placing onto the adhesive you will not have
the problems you had removing the stencil from the adhesive.
Dreamweaver has their own soap for this technique or you can
use just any natural soap. Lay your stencil on a flat
surface and rub the dry bar of soap over the stencil. Use
a stencil brush to remove the big pieces of soap from the
stencil and place the stencil on your adhesive. Apply your
glitter as you did and you can remove your stencil without
damage!
