How fun is this brand new, two part layered rose stencil?

One of the things I love most about being an Associate Designer for Rubbernecker is not just my ability to design dies that I know you will love but also that I get to try all the new goodies ahead of time.  I could not WAIT to share this new two part Bold Rose stencil! It has such a sweet simplicity and its bold graphic design is going to allow it to pair with so many different styles. Take this card, for instance – the layered rose stencil with that embossing folder plus the die cut flower – it all just works so beautifully!  I have linked all the new stencils in the new release below. 

The Layered Rose Stencil

I know most crafters already know how to use stencils but I took a few step by step photos to show anyone new to paper crafting.

• Cut a white layer of cardstock and line up the top corner of the rose stencil to the top corner of the white layer. 
• Secure the two together so they don’t move while applying the ink.  Pro Tip:  Masking tape works fine to secure the stencil and cardstock but I used my Ranger 12″  Make Art Station and magnetic rulers to secure mine.  It is so much easier than using all that tape. 
• Use a blender brush to apply the pink ink.

• Remove the rose stencil.
• Line up the leaf pattern stencil and secure it in place.
• Use a blender brush to apply green ink to the leaves.

The Flower and Leaves

I think of this Mixed Flower Stack die with all the different sized flowers as a “little black dress” kind of thing because it is so multipurpose, the shapes can work with just about any design – sort of like the layered rose stencil! – and if you don’t know what to use, you can always grab this.

• Cut the two different sized flower using white cardstock.
• Cut the leaves using green cardstock.
• Apply the pink ink to the flowers using the blender brush.  Pro Tip:  I colored the white flowers with the same ink as the stenciled flowers so they would be a perfect match. 
• Place the three flower face down on the molding pad and roll the petals using a large stylus. 
• Turn the flower face up and push down in the center with large stylus to form the flowers.  Check out my Flower Shaping Video to see how I form my flowers.  It show a different flower but it’s the exact process.  
• Use glossy accents to attach the three flowers together.  Make sure to offset the flower layers for a more natural looking flower.
• Cut the leaves off the stem and form them gently with your fingers.

Assemble The Card

• Emboss a piece of white cardstock with the bold rose folder.  Note:  I’ve had this embossing folder for years and I can’t remember the name or the company that made it.  I liked that it was a match for the stenciled flowers.
• Use green cardstock to cut a 5.25″ x 4.00″ layer. 
• Cut the flower stenciled layer and the embossed white layer to 5.00″ x 2.00″ and attach them to the green layer using ATG adhesive.  
• Apply strips of mounting tape to the back of the green layer and attach it to the card base.
• Stamp the sentiment on a strip of white cardstock using green ink.
• Attach the sentiment layer to a green layer using ATG adhesive.
• Trim the sentiment layers to 5.00″ wide and attach it to the card base using ATG adhesive to cover where the two layers meet.
• Apply a generous amount of glossy accents to the back of the flower and attach it to the top of the card.
• Tuck the leaves under the flower and attach them using glossy accents.
• Finish by attaching the large white pearl in the center of the flower.  Pro Tip:  I like to secure the pearl it with glossy accents to make sure it stays in place.  I don’t trust the adhesive on the back of the pearl to hold.
