Stuck in a rut and not sure what layout to do next? Why not be guided by Creating Keepsakes’ Weekly Challenge? The Challenge this weekend is using chipboard stencils!
2007 Hall of Famer Jamie Harper brings us an excellent “in a pinch” technique this week.
How many times do you go to grab your chipboard letters only to find that you are missing a letter, or two, or three that you need? Well start saving the negative part to your chipboards to use as a stencil. This will save you so much money and you can have just the perfect color every time!
Just trace the stencil onto your paper on the backside, and make sure that you mirror the letter (so that it is the correct way on the front) and cut out. Flip over and use on your page. No need to erase your pencil or pen marks, no one will ever see them.
