Last week, I worked with a customer on pixel tracing to create a stencil project. The final outcome was absolutely phenomenal and I asked if I could share it with you here on Team KNK, and I’m so glad she agreed.

Deb creates personalized, unique and beautiful designs in Make-the-Cut for decorative signs using her KNK Zing. Here is one example:

She uses stencil material; either a 6 mil mylar for one-time use or a 16 mil stencil material for multi-use.

Materials:

• Stencil material
• Spray on temporary adhesive
• Thick Material (blue cap) blade
• Paint

Settings (KNK Zing):

• Speed = 13/13
• Force = 154
• Passes = 2
• Blade Height = 9 Post-it Notes

Steps:

1. Pixel trace the design in Make-the-Cut or create from scratch
2. Use layers to separate each color for one stencil
3. Cut the stencil material
4. Apply temporary adhesive and press to substrate
5. Cover any areas outside of the stencil that may inadvertently get sprayed
6. Paint each layer and allow to dry between colors

And look how stunning this is!!!!

I want one! lol
