Step by step

1. Place stencil number one on white cardstock, line it up in the corner using the magnetic mat to hold it in place. ▶ watch 10:30
2. Apply teal ink through stencil one using a sponge or blending tool, working from light to medium tones. ▶ watch 11:00
3. Remove stencil one and position stencil number two, ensuring you can see the number to avoid a reversed image. ▶ watch 13:00
4. Add a heathery or darker colour through stencil two to create dimension in the perfume bottle design. ▶ watch 13:30
5. Place stencil number three and apply additional colour to complete the layered shading effect. ▶ watch 14:00
6. Dry the cardstock with a heat tool, then use an anti-static bag to prevent embossing powder from sticking where unwanted. ▶ watch 15:00
7. Stamp the perfume bottle outline stamp onto the inked design, lining it up carefully with the stencilled layers. ▶ watch 16:00
8. Apply sparkly embossing powder over the stamped outline and heat-set with an embossing heat gun. ▶ watch 17:00
9. Run the die-cut through your die-cutting machine to cut out the perfume bottle shape cleanly. ▶ watch 20:00
10. Place the die-cut into the 3D embossing folder, line it up with the detail on the stamp, and run through your die-cutting machine to create the dimensional embossed effect. ▶ watch 20:30

Tips from the show

• Do not decant the QR code from the packet as it provides access to endless tutorial videos.
• Crafting should not be stressful; if you don't get the embossing folder alignment perfect, there is a one millimetre bleed allowance.
• You can use the stencils, stamp, die and embossing folder independently or all together depending on your desired effect.
