Clear Scraps Project Post

Hey y’all, Jennifer here with another fun and festive holiday project using stencils! 🎄✨

I had these gorgeous metal envelopes and thought—why not dress them up into charming Letters to Santa mailboxes or even unique card holders? So, out came my stencils and holiday spirit!

First, I grabbed the Snow Tree Stencil with Stars and positioned it along the right side of the envelope. Then I mixed a little gel medium with some gold flakes, creating a beautifully textured, shimmery paste. Using my spatula, I carefully applied the mixture through just the stars on the stencil. I worked in small sections—doing a few stars at a time—letting each set dry before adding more so the design had a nice, scattered sparkle. I repeated the same process on the inside flap of the envelope for that extra festive touch.

To finish, I added some Christmas patterned paper, a lovely poinsettia, touches of greenery and red beads, and a gold frame featuring Santa—all carefully glued onto the metal.

This was such a fun and slightly unexpected project, and I love how it turned out! I hope it inspires you to pull out your stencils and add a bit of magic to your holiday crafting. 🎅❤️

Thanks so much for stopping by, and happy creating!
