Create layered tags with Lindy’s Gang products. Begin by painting a layer of gesso into a plain tag. Sprinkle on some Lindy’s Magicals and spritz with water. Chose another colour and spritz again. Spray on Lindy’s Starburst spray. This creates a cohesive look on the tag. Add some Christmas embellishments to the front of the tag. See the complete instructions in the link. #startcardmaking #tagsomeone #christmastime🎄 #christmascard #giftideas #greetingcards #lindysgang #artistcellar #graphic45 #stencil

Some more ideas for using your stencils to make Christmas trees! See how this works in yesterday’s post.

Make this textured Christmas tree card. 🎨 Begin by layering a stencil with lines over watercolour paper and tape down. Use repositioning tape to block off a triangle shape on the stencil. Add Lindy’s gang Starburst spray and Magicals over the tree design. Make punctures with a ball head pin or piercing tool where you’ll stitch on the beads. Stitch on the beads and outline the edge of the Christmas tree. For more detailed instructions sign up for weekly free projects! #startcardmaking #card #stencil #watercolor #christmascard #handmade

Use your old stencils to make amazing backgrounds! Start with a piece of Ranger glossy paper and a stencil. Next spray the paper generously with three colours of Lindys gang Starburst sprays. Lay your stencil overtop of the sprayed paper. Add some gold watercolour paint in a few places and then dry around the paper with a heat gun making sure not to apply too much heat that it warps your stencil. Remove the stencil and you’ve got a great background for cards or to add in your journal. #startcardmaking #timholtzranger #lindysgang #stencil #watercolor
