About that latest order…

About that latest order…

Here it is!

I ordered 2 stencils and 2 stamps from the mother/daughter duo of PMartist Studio.

The stencil on the left is Botanical Bunch by Darcy Sanders. The stencil on the right is Whirly Webs by Rhonda Dohna.

The Spider Stamp is also by Rhonda Dohna. I have several of her Halloween artist trading card-sized stencils I look forward to using, again!

The Moon Stamp is by Brad Rushing, PM’s CEO, also Mariah (M)’s husband. They don’t credit his designs, but they should. I ordered the medium-sized moon stamp, equally useful at Halloween.

When you order from PMartist Studio, you receive lots of bonuses! The little ATC was mentioned in yesterday’s post and is by Myriam Wolfe.

There’s a tiny extra beetle stencil I’m betting is Brad’s. The two gel print samples are not signed, so I’m betting they are Patricia (P)’s. They always enclose their calling card and package it all with highly reusable glassine bags.

It’s like getting a present instead of an order!

Yupo is Useful, but Crab Cake Box is Cheaper!

Inspired by Patricia Carmichael of PM Artist Studio’s use of a Marie Calendar pot pie box, I decided to try cutting a stencil from a washed piece of Phillips crab cake box.

I used my ScanNCut, and lengthened the blade a notch (5.) It worked beautifully, both the cutting and the printing.

But then the paint dried on the blank side of the box, and it puckered, making the stencil bowed and pretty useless. Maybe, I could wash the paint off, immediately, or maybe I could put the dried stencil between heavy books.

I’d still call it a success, for stencils you only need to use once!
