Mid Century Modern Baubles & Introducing MCM Baubles Stencil & Mask Inspiration Week

Hello & Happy Monday. 

Today I am kicking off a Mid Century Modern Baubles Inspiration Week, to also introduce a NEW addition Mid Century Modern Baubles Stencil & Mask, to use with or even without the stamp set. This new stencil will be available to purchase on Sunday 30th November. 

Mid Century Modern Baubles was release back in July / August 2023 and has been a firm favourite for all those who love, like me, the Mid Century Modern theme. 

Here are a couple of my favourites I made back when the stamps were released.

When I designed this stamp set, I also designed a stencil & mask to go along side it. However, at the time I thought it was too 'simple' and not necessary. 

Since then I have had LOTS of requests to bring a stencil out that makes colouring these baubles a breeze. Especially useful for those who like ink blending like myself. 

So I introduce you to the Mid Century Modern Baubles Stencil & Mask. 

And of course I have some inspiration to share with you today using this new addition.

For my first card I wanted to achieve a similar look to the first card above. I started with the Mid Century Modern Baubles Stencil and inked the larger bauble, first with Poppy to the middle of the bauble, then with Cranberry to the outer edges.

I then stamped the black details from the Mid Century Modern Baubles clear stamp set, finally adding a bow stamped in Sunflower ink, fussy cut and adhered using glue. I topped it off with a gold embellishment.

Next up today I wanted to show how you can use the stencil and mask to add colour to the stamped baubles.

For this card I started by stamping the bauble on the left. I then used the coordinating stencil shape to ink through using Grapefruit ink. I then used the corresponding mask to mask this bauble to stamp the bauble behind. I kept the mask in place and then coloured the second bauble with Aqua Sky ink. 

Next I stamped the details of the baubles. Again, I kept the bauble mask in place on the left bauble and stamped the solid circle shape with Oceanside and the burst detail in Peacock.

For the bauble on the left I used Sorbet and Cayenne respectively.

Lastly I finished with bows stamped in Cayenne and Peacock, which I fussy cut before adhering and adding a gold embellishment. The sentiment is another from the stamp set.

These two cards barely scratch the surface of the creative possibilities this stencil has and as I am only releasing this one stencil, I thought it would be fun to have a Brand Ambassador inspiration week, leading up to the release of the stencil & mask on Saturday 29th November 9am GMT. Where we will have a traditional Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway. 

Be sure to pop by tomorrow for more inspiration from myself and Anita.
