Simple Stenciling + Stamping (A Waffle Flower Crafts Hop!)

January 5, 2021

Simple Stenciling + Stamping (A Waffle Flower Crafts Hop!)

It’s new release day at Waffle Flower Crafts and today I’m sharing a fun and simple design featuring some layered heart stencils and a simple greeting.

I think this stencil set is just darling!

I feel like 2021 is going to be my personal Year of the Stencil! At the very least, I’m going to play with more of them and try some new things!

I have really been enjoying the world of stencils over the past several months. They are a fun way to create such unique, one-of-a-kind backgrounds for your cards.

Here is my video showing you how I created the project:

    Stencils are so underrated! Nice to see they are making a comeback, especially with the embossing and pairing with die cutting! Love your card! Nice and simple and just in time for Valentine’s Day.
