Hello and welcome back, everyone! Today, we’re celebrating our 8th Anniversary! The Ton has evolved over the last eight years. We started out with stamps back then. But now we have a robust collection of stamps, stencils dies, gilding and inks! We’ve also completed our first full year of shows last year. It was so great to meet our customers in person and to also meet new customers who discovered our products at the shows for the first time. I also got the chance to meet some our DT members (Brenda and Lisa) in person. It was like meeting long lost family!

I’m truly grateful for this community and I hope to continue to design for you guys for many more to come! Let’s introduce our Anniversary Release!

For today, I designed eight new stencils designs (each stencil has a coordinating die) and one new stamp design (also with a coordinating die). Everything is available to ship immediately.

First up is our Sweet Bouquet Stencils set.

This is a very pretty five piece layering set that is very easy to align. There are three floral petal layers and two foliage layers. Each stencil measure 6×4 inches each.

• For stencils 1 through 3, you can blend these layers using a light pink, mid tone pink and dark pink, respectively.
• For stencil 4, blend black or dark brown inside the three etched circled areas. Blend with green for the rest of the stencil (This is the first foliage layer PLUS the centers of the three florals).
• For stencil 5, use a darker green for the entire stencil (this is the second foliage layer).

This stencil set coordinates with our Sweet Bouquet stamp set that was previously released. The coordinating die can also be used with both the stamp and the stencils.

Next up is our Lily Bloom Stencil set. This set is made up of four layering stencils measuring at 4.2 x 4.5 inches each.

• Stencil 1: The top portion can be blended with light pink (first layer of the petal). Lower portion of the stencil can be blended with light green (first layer of stem/foliage).
• Stencil 2: The top portion can be blended with mid topne pink (second layer of the petal). Lower portion of the stencil can be blended with dark green (second layer of stem/foliage).
• Stencil 3: Can be blended with darker pink (third layer of petals)
• Stencil 4: Can be blended with darkest pink or purple (adds accents to petals).
  • There is also another element on the lower right corner of this stencil, the stamens. You have to shift the stencil to center this onto the lily center. You can use black or dark brown for this element.

This stencil set coordinates with our previously released Lily Bloom stamp and die set. The die coordinates with both stencil and stamp products.

Next up is our Wild Spray Stencils.

This is a smaller 2.9 x 3.2 inch layering stencil set that is very versatile. It can be used for A2 sized cards or smaller projects. It can also be used on larger and longer sized slimline cards because of the sprig-like design of the florals.

This set has three stencils. The first stencil can be blended with light pink (first petal layer). The second stencil can be blended with a mid tone or dark pink (second and final petal layer). The third stencil has two elements. You can use black ink and blend into the two circled etched ares and then blend green for the rest of the stencil.

Next up is our Sunkissed Dahlias Stencils and coordinating die. This is a 6×6 inch layering set that produces a large bloom that becomes a beautiful centerpiece on your card.

Next up is our Dahlia Leaves stencil! This is one stencil with two layers on it. Layering for this stencil is a two step process that makes it effortless to mass produce these leaves. The coordinating die is one single die that cuts out all 4 leaves in one pass through your die cutting machine. You’re going to need these leaves for the next two sets!

Instructions: Ensure that your stencil is upright. Align the upper left corner of the stencil with the upper left corner of your cardstock. Blend the top portion of the stencil with light green ink. Next, take the stencil and rotate it 180º and align the upper left corner of the stencil to the cardstock once again. This time, blend the top portion of the stencil with dark green ink.

This is a very straightforward layering set. All you need are three shades of a one color and blend them (from light to dark) onto Stencils 1 through 3.

This set does coordinate with our Close Up Dahlia 2 (6x6in) stamp set.

Next up is our Darling Dahlias stencils and die. This set is a bit more abstract in style than our Sunkissed Dahlias but just as beautiful and large! For this set as well, all you need are three shades of a one color and blend them (from light to dark) onto Stencils 1 through 3.

Since this is a larger 6×6 inch design, you can slice the stenciled image in half to create two mini slimline cards. Just choose a fun background and adhere your sliced die cuts to create a quick pair of cards.

Next up is our Climbing Dahlias stencils. This layering stencil set coordinates with our previously released Coming Up Dahlias stamp and die.

This stencil set comes with three stencils.

Stencil 1: First layer petal (lightest shade of pink)

Stencil 2: This stencil has two elements on it. There is the second layer of the petals (mid-tone pink) and first layer of the stems/foliage (lightest green). For this stencil, you have to selectively ink blend your mid-tone pink and green inks.

Stencil 3: This stencil has the third layer of the petals (darkest pink) and second layer of the stems/foliage (dark green). For this stencil, you have to also selectively ink blend your pink and green inks.

Lastly is our Coming Up Peruvian Lilies stamp and die! The newest addition to our Coming Up series is a beautiful and fun image to color with your favorite medium.
