Option2 - Tutorial for our christmas in heaven blocks
with stencil wording plaques
Hi crafters! Here is the second option on using our stencil cut wording plaques on the Christmas in heaven blocks. We have put together a video of me completing some using the stencil cut wording plaques attached on the front of the blocks and also photos and a step by step guide.
You can also use the stencil plaques as stencils and I have done another blog post to show you how this looks, Also see my other blog post on the etched wording plaques
I will outline the products used and where you can find them on our website and also a little guide if you'd like to have a go yourself. Enjoy! xxx
