Stenciling is such a fun way to change up the look of your cards. Today’s project uses strategic placement of the stencil to add a super fun element to the card, as the hearts peek through the clouds of smoke. We love Allisons creations, because she always chooses such bright colors. We feel joyful when we see her projects and hope you feel the same.
When you choose to incorporate a stencil into your design, try to find ways to use it in unexpected ways. Many times we can use it as a full background element, but sometimes we can get creative and overlap different patterns, hind them in between dies and other designs, or in this case, sandwich the stencil pattern between two dies, which added shape and character to the card.
This project uses these products:
- 5700-02D Stacked Hearts Die
- 4301 Bokeh Hearts Stencil- 6×6 2 parts
- 5719D Small Scallop with Holes Nested Die
- 36029 So Many Candles- 5×6 Stamp Set
- 5630D Clouds Die

Next time you grab a stencil for your project, try to find a way to have it peek through the card design. Step out of your comfort zone and get a little creative with your placement. As always, if this card inspired you, find us on instagram and tag us in your creations. We love to share them with our crafty community!
