Join us! It is ANYTHING GOES STENCIL week at Just Us Girls. Lisa is challenging us to use a stencil in our card creations this week. I made two cards for this week's challenge with stenciled backgrounds and bold, simple sentiments. The stencils I used for the cards above are from a fairly new-to-me stencil source, Killer Zebras. I have bought several of their stencils and love all of them so far. Killer Zebras is a cookie decorating site that sells cookie cutters, cookie decorating supplies, and cookie stencils. Cookie stencils are made of the same material, and are slightly smaller (5.5" x 5.5"), but cheaper, than most cardmaking stencils.
Because of the smaller stencils size, the stencil panels have to be trimmed and layered on the cardbases. Personally, I just love the Just Peachy card and think any recipient will smile. I made a half dozen of each card for donation.

These are both fabulous Elizabeth - and I think the peachy one is so perfect for a 'how's things?' card. You are my queen of stencils, for sure!

Elizabeth, I have been browsing those cookie stencils because your cards are so fun and colorful. Both of them have such happy colors and sentiments. Great stenciled cards for sure!
These are both such happy cards! Bright and cheerful, sure to bring smiles!
What bright and colorful backgrounds of both peaches and blueberries!
Those stencils make great backgrounds that can stand up to large sentiments. The cards are colorful and easy to reproduce so I can see why you love them, Elizabeth.
Your card is just 'peachy' Elizabeth and so bright and beautiful. Then your blueberry one is also and calling me to go and have breakfast.
