Hello there Card Makers! I love making cards for people, it is a gift in itself and a truly thoughtful way to share our love of creative crafting! I also love to give blank cards, in a set, to someone for them to give someone else! It is a great little gift for teachers or as a hostess gift.
I used the 3 stencils below with a combination of spray mist & Staz-On Ink.
I started with the 12×12 Organic Matter Stencil on Bazzill white cardstock and Heidi Swapp Color Shine in Blush.
I love that this stencil also has the reverse mask!
I used the Complicated Hearts and Graceful Moths 6×6 stencils on a piece of yellow Bazzill Mylar. I used both black and white Staz-On Ink and it worked great! I was a little worried it would smudge or not stencil clearly, but it was easy and dried beautifully!
I cut my cardstock down to 5-1/4″ x 5-1/4″ cards to mount onto a black card base. I also trimmed out all the mylar pieces I stenciled. I made extras and could make more cards or will save some for another project.
I made a simple formula for each card, layering 2 different doilies, gold thread and one of the mylar stencils on top.
I used the stencils from the Graceful Moths stencil, even though I thought they were butterflies!
I also added a tiny clothespin holding a sticker for a sentiment. They are all general and could be used for a variety of card needs!
I stacked the cards up with vellum envelopes, wrapped a piece of vellum around the stack and added one of the stenciled hearts and twine to hold it all together!
I hope this inspired you to play with some stencils and give the gift of your creativity to someone else! Sort of like paying it forward, crafty style!! 🙂
