Welcome to the decade of the stencil! (Plus a fun blog hop from Pretty Pink Posh!)

February 11, 2022

Welcome to the decade of the stencil! (Plus a fun blog hop from Pretty Pink Posh!)

Welcome to an 8th birthday celebration for Pretty Pink Posh! I’m so happy to be a part of the hop today!

I am in love with the Layered Candles Stencil and have decided the Year of the Stencil must migrate into the Decade of the Stencil! Stencils are just too much fun to limit to 365 days!

Here is the video showing you how I created this card:

Now onto the hop for today, which is Day 2 of the new release blog hops:

Pretty Pink Posh blog 
Cathy Zielske
Laura Bassen
Mona Toth
Raquel Arribas
Heather Hoffman

There are THREE $50 gift certificates up for grabs during this new release hop, one will be chosen each of the three days selected randomly from comments left on the makers’ blogs. Good luck! Comments must be left by 11:59 PM PST on 2/16/2022. Winners will be announced on the PPP blog.

Thanks for stopping by!

    I have to agree that this is definitely the decade of the stencils, especially the layering types. I just don’t have the patience or the talent to color, and these stencils allow me to still make great cards!

    You have helped me finesse my style so much over the years, and I truly appreciate it.

    Cathy, I TOTALLY agree with you about the “decade of the stencils”. LOLOL I’m so glad they have made a resurgence and in such a great way! Layering stencils are SOOO much fun and they make all of us look like expert card makers. Although you ARE an expert card maker! Great YT video and great card!!! I am going to have to start using foam when I die cut because I need to make those sounds. LOLOLOL

    Now, I’m quoting: “You can’t extend the boop everywhere!” 🤣🤣 Love your card!!! I’m eager to get my hands on these stencils… “Sticky grossness” is also going in my big book of Cathyisms. There sure was a lot of tiddle drama here, I must say. The card turned out to be SUPERB! TFS –
