Morning all!
I’m back on the Seven Hills Crafts blog today with a two-for-one card featuring a rather “unseasonal” stencil set from The Greetery.
Background layering stencil sets can be so versatile, just changing up the colours can give them a whole different look.
And that’s definitely true for the Fall Folk layering stencils – originally intended for autumnal card projects, this folksy floral background is great all year round.
And as I have a bad track record of getting my Spring and Easter cards made in good time, the start of February means the start of Spring/Easter crafting for me!
Originally, I just wanted to give the background stencils a Spring makeover and add a simple sentiment from the Tear Strip Tags Spring Stamp set.
But as you can see, my brain had other ideas!
Once I’d created the background with a mix of fresh greens, pinks, powdery blue, and yellow, I had a sudden lightbulb moment.
Why not use the Ribbon Frame die and stencil bundle to create two cards from one floral background?
So here is card one:
Stamps: Waltzing Mouse – Compact Sentiments (r)
Dies: The Greetery – Bunny Kisses, The Greetery – Bunny Kisses, The Greetery – Ribbon Frame
Stencils: The Greetery – Fall Folk, The Greetery – Ribbon Frame
And here is card two:
Stamps: Memory Box – Springtime Typewriter Sentiments (r)
Dies: The Greetery – Bunny Kisses, The Greetery – Bunny Kisses, The Greetery – Ribbon Frame
Stencils: The Greetery – Fall Folk, The Greetery – Ribbon Frame
I quickly blended another panel in blush pink and added a little splatter, then I cut the Ribbon Frame into the panels to two create two card bases.
I ink blended the green Ribbon Frame and used coloured cardstock for the blue Ribbon Frame, adding the stencilled details with darker ink shades.
To complete the Spring theme, I grabbed the Bunny Kisses die – it’s a really handy set and just the right size for the Ribbon Frame – plus you get a flower and little Easter eggs as accents.
Top tip: Puffy paint is great for snowy scenes, but it’s also a quick and easy way to add a fluffy tail to this bunny!
Before sticking the bunnies down, I quickly added the sentiments, and hey presto! Two cards made.
Until next time, happy crafting!
