Advanced Stencil Magic Class

 Exciting news!!
We are offering a class here at the Farmhouse!
ADVANCED STENCIL MAGIC with Taylored Expressions Class
We will be using the same stencil ensemble used in the demonstration 
held here at the Farmhouse last week 
by Taylored Expressions sales rep, Sandy Boyd.

The class will be taught by Rachel.
Each participant will make and take 2 cards 
- one using the masking stencils to create a background that looks like it's a die cut, but only one layer.
- the other card will be stamped and colored using the coordinating stencil set and the blending brushes.
The cost of the class is $30, 
and includes the stencil set needed in the class.

We are offering 2 different days for the same class
because we will only have 6 people in each group.

 Wednesday, June 23, 2021, at 9:30 am
 Friday, June 25, 2021, at 9:30 am

Here are some samples of cards made with stencils.
The stenciling was done using blending brushes and ink pads.

Each card is displayed with the background stencil used on it.


This card was stenciled and stamped with 
coordinating stencil and stamp sets.


This card was created using the masking sets 
along with the background stencil.


Here is another card that was stamped with a background stamp.
The flowers were detail-stamped onto colored paper 
and then die-cut with the coordinating die set.


This card background was masked (using the set on the left)
and colored with blending brushes.
It was then stamped with a background stamp.


Please call the Farmhouse at 717-442-1907

She used images from this fabric for the fronts of the A2 & A7 cards.


She used the images from this fabric for the insides of the A2 & A7 cards,
