I have the best readers! You guys really GET me. For instance, a week ago Lorena left a comment to alert me to this new product. How cool is that to have a personal shopper? Thanks Lorena! From your thoughtful comment to my work table in the blink of an eye.
Here are my first tests using this paper lace - great images to use as a stencil, with spray paint of course! Mine arrived this afternoon from PaperAddict.com, thanks Marissa for the speedy service! The link will take you right to the order page (enabling you!), but if you have a chance to purchase from your local scrap store please order from them. We need to keep the stores in business!
Here's are two tips:
1. You don't have to use it as is, 12" x 12" - you can cut apart as I have done with the numbers above.
2. These are made from kinda flimsy cardstock. I wouldn't even really call it cardstock. Perfect if you want to glue to a page, but not so sturdy of you're going to use as a stencil so beware....and do as I did: BUY SEVERAL COPIES OF EACH. Have wax paper nearby to lay your stencil on to dry. They'll stick and rip if you aren't careful. They look really cool after using several times so you'll probably want to retire them eventually and use on a journal page. (That's right, I don't scrapbook, but I adore the industry for the cool things we can use!)
Now we need to get K.I. Memories to give us die-cut ACETATE so we will be happier stencil-ers.
