Umm, that should probably read: Fun with a Glue Gun.
While surfing one day, I came across this post about making glue stencils and thought I'd give it a try. Once I found my glue gun, I set up my work table, and began playing.
I began with a squiggle
then added more, and I tried some sparkle glue in a tube, too
lots of different shapes
they pulled off of the parchment paper quite easily although the ones made with the tube glue were thinner, I just had to be gentle with loosening them
1 was broken.....
Wondering how to test out the glue stencils, I decided to create some painted cards to use in the experiment
I made a dozen
this was a dull one, so I added more colour
This was an ugly one, so I piled on some blues and greens
I'll have to use acrylics on this one........
and this had some dots added
Glue gun stencils were fun to create and I'm looking forward to testing them on my cards.
Hope wherever you are, the weather is pleasant, and you have some fun in your day.
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz

Hi Suz. Love your glue gun stencils and am looking forward to seeing how they work on your beautiful cards. I have also seen glue gun squiggles used as stamps. Creative Bliss Dear...
ReplyDeleteSherry, stamps sound like a good idea, too. Hmmm, I wonder .......
DeleteI shall have to have a stencil play day soon. Thanks.

We had the first real day of spring today, sunshine and temperatures in double figures long time since that happen,
ReplyDeleteGlue gun squiggles you had a great day of play, they look good.
Hope you had some sunshine and a nice day

Margaret, it rained all night and part of the morning, but then the skies cleared and the sun came out, and it felt like spring! Yay! The snow and ice are melting. I’m glad you had some nice weather.
DeleteHugs
That is a funny idea- dear!
ReplyDeleteThey look great, and I`m exited to see how you will use that,--on your happy painted cards.
Hugs,Dorthe
Me too, Dorthe! Thanks. I’ll post my results.

Looks like you had a really fun and creative time. It is always nice to try out new techniques.
ReplyDeleteIt is, Wendy. Makes me flex my creativity muscles...lol...and I always learn a lot, too. Makes life interesting.

Hello Suz, You are a very creative person to try such great new techniques... I think your stitching and tatting is awesome. Hugs Judy
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely thing to write! Thank you, Judy. I do love to experiment, don’t you?
DeleteHugs
That glue stencil making looks interesting.Like the cards. I don't know, I seem to be getting a bit slower these days.So many things I'd like to try!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your sweet comment on my blog.

I know what you mean about so many things to try, Judy. I want to try them all! Just not enough hours in the day, though, and DH says I need to sleep, or else I get too grumpy! lol
DeleteHugs
what a great idea Suz, never know what you will come up with next, hurry up and share the finished cards with us we are all waiting eagerly
ReplyDeleteI’ll try, Margaret. I borrowed the idea for the glue gun stencils, but I’m looking forward to see how the cards turn out. Thanks.
DeleteHugs
I can see you had a lot of fun ^^
ReplyDeleteI did, Isabelle, and more fun coming up, too, I hope.
Delete;-D

Probably not something I would try, because I'm a terrible doodler, but it sure is interesting! I'll bet you'd have a blast with one of those 3D printers!
ReplyDeleteI’m sure I would Diane! So many wonderful ‘tools’ out there for creating. Thanks.
DeleteHugs
Interesting use of glue ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd fun, too!

I saw that same title video and then forgot all about it, so glad you watched. Looking forward to your cards, and deffo intend to give this one a try, finding stencils so expensive with the postage, so making my own will be fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThank you Linda! This way you can make them more personal, too, as well as variations of the ones you like online. I’ve also made stencils with mylar. Fun.
DeleteHugs
LOL, I had a go (shown on my blog) not 'quite' as good as yours, think I might need more practice. Look forward to your results.
ReplyDeleteAh, practicing is fun! Glad you tried this. I’m off to check your blog.
DeleteHugs
Great job, Suz, you are so creative! I'm sure the finished cards will look lovely too. We're slowly moving into Spring here at last! Hope you are too!
ReplyDeleteHi Janet, yes, spring is arriving in fits and starts. We’re having thunderstorms today. You know that making those cards is just another excuse to play, right? How’s the puppet countdown going?
DeleteHugs
This is definitely interesting. I did something of a similar sort once by squiggling hot glue onto switch plate covers and then painting them.
