Mixed Media {Mon}: Stenciled Cards

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I have a couple of cards to share today, using stencils...

Card #1 Freestyle Stenciled + Stamped Card

Inspired by colors and plant from The Card Concept #149 challenge, I inked the stencil and placed the cardstock panel on top to get the impression. I stamped "wire" image and silhouette floral on. Then, I added washi tape, a stamped sentiment (with foam tape) and some sequins.

Card #2 One Layer CAS

I used a stencil to ink the background and stamped the sillhouette floral image + sentiment. Then, I placed the stencil over again, inked it with VersaMark, and heat embossed it with Clear+Glitter powder.

Challenges:

Card #1

1. The Card Concept #149 {Welcome Wee One}

2. More Than Words Feb Mini Challenge: Adore

3. QKR Stampede #414: AGoes

4. WeLove2Create #2: Anything Mixed Media Goes

Card #2

1. CAS Mix Up Feb Stencil Challenge: Stencil Heat Embossing

2. Less is More #437: One Layer Card - Flowers

3. Simon Says Wed: Favorite Technique (Heat Embossing)

Craft with Heart

Scrapbook {Sat}: I Adore You - Craft With Heart Feb 2021

Hello, Kraftie Friends!!!

I haven't scrapbooked in a while, so I needed to do some catching up...

I purchased CTMH Craft with Heart Scrapbooking Subscriptions and they are really easy and fast to complete. I'm a slow crafter and it takes me 30 minutes or less to complete one 2-page layout! If you're fast, you can finish in way less time...

Here's one (of 2 layouts) from the February 2021 Kit:

But I changed mine to include more photos:

I'll have more altered layouts from the kits coming soon!

Plus, others...using my craft stash...can't buy more supplies until I finish my stash...lol! Just kidding!

Challenges:

1. Word Art Wed #479-#480: AGoes

2. Love to Scrap #142: Love is...

3. Love to Craft #55: Feb AGoes
