How To Use Offcuts As Stencils

by Hilary Pullen

Using off-cuts as stencils

Rather than throwing those negative pieces away after you have been die-cutting, take a look at what off-cuts you have and think about how you can use them again.

The basic shapes like this circle can be used as a stencil to blend colour into. This is a great way of creating stunning or even subtle backgrounds with beautifully neat edges, without the need to purchase multiple stencils.
Using mirror card is a bonus too as the ink glides off the card easily, making blending even easier!
