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:

tammy says
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.
Patti Bailey says
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
Farhana S says
Stencils are the best! They have so much potential.
Ann says

Cynthia Baldwin says
Cute card! This candle stencil is so much fun, and I agree about stencils in general – LOVE that companies are offering these now – so many possibilities!
Mary-Anne V says
I agree with you about stencils. Love how you used this candles stencil.
Lori Spitzer says
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 –
