Use Your Cricut as a Stencil

Bitten by the Bug 2 challenged us to our cricuts as a stencil...and wow, that was a hard challenge for me! I went through stencil upon stencil, cut with Paper Lace cartridge. Finally realizing that cutting a stencil from transparency paper was better than paper because my mists were leaking, soaking, and spilling through to my cardstock, making the image very blurry.




Do I like my card? No. I feel like a need a lot more practice! And maybe a larger stencil would help? In the meantime, I will wait for a sunny day, probably tuck those feathers in better and take a straighter picture this week.

Hopefully these tips help you create something amazing...don't forget to link up!

  1. Yes, yes I love your card Laura!!! I also love all the samples on your desk, to me the stencil pattern doesn't have to be crisp and clear, so I like the ones that aren't too. Use those puppies on cards, I know they will look fabulous! Hugs!
