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:

    Such cute stencils! I only have a few, but these look like something I could try. 🙂
    Thanks, Cathy.

    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

    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!

    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 –

    Lovely card! Can’t go wrong with stencils and big word dies! Right up my alley! Happy Birthday PPP!

    I love the script dies. I’m sure you couldn’t hear me try to tell you were the missing “tipple” was, but I tried anyway. I love your videos. They are so much fun.

    Such a cute birthday card! I enjoy your videos-instructional but fun. Thanks for sharing your talents.

    Love this colorful, pastel card, so fun! I have two of PPP’s layering stencils already so can’t wait to get my inky fingers on the three new ones.

  52. Dorothy Ayotte says

    This is a darling card! I really like the gold die cut message and that background is wonderful.

  53. Sandy Anderson says

    I have already ordered the stencils, and can’t wait to try making a card as nice as yours! Thank you for sharing!
