June Masks Theme!

Welcome to Create With Stamping Friends Creatively Simple! Connie and I create simple cards with a theme each week and for this month, this is our theme:

Masks can mean different things you can use. You can use our Stampin’ Up! Decorative Masks, you can use the Masking Technique or you can make your own stencil with punches or dies like I did on this card here:

I used the pegboard die with some embossing paste to create my dotted background on the Secret Sea Cardstock layer. It didn’t take very long to dry either!


Stampin’ Up! Products Used:
- Stamps: The Right Words
- Inks: Secret Sea
- Cardstock: Secret Sea, Basic White, Lost Lagoon
- Designer Paper: Beautiful Gallery
- Tools & Accessories: Stylish Shapes Dies, Palette Knives, Embossing Paste, Trusty Tools Dies, Stampin’ Dimensionals
Supplies needed for the stencil & masking:



- Step 1: Create a stencil using the pegboard die from the Trusty Tools Dies.
- Step 2: Place the stencil over the cardstock piece. I secured the stencil with some sticky tape.
- Setp 3: Use a Palette Knife and spread a layer of Embossing Paste.
