Join us! It is ANYTHING GOES STENCIL week at Just Us Girls. Ina is challenging us to use a stencil in our card creations this week.
Not surprisingly, I am still working on the Christmas stash. I am using a new, layered stencil this week from a new-to-me company, Polkadoodles. First, I was surprised when I received the stencil...it is big! 8x8" You can tell I don't read the descriptions. It is not quite big enough to do two panels at one time which would be nice! Also there are no markings on the stencils... I spent an inordinate amount of time figuring out how to line up one of the stencils. Needless to say, the stencils are all marked now.
The stenciling was easy and I love the modern look. I made a half a dozen panels. I think I could change up the color of the berries and leaves and have a beautiful fall card too. To keep the card fun, I added a dark pink, layered sentiment back in vellum.

Super fun stencil! You stenciled beautifully too. 😀
What a fun, vibrant stenciled card Elizabeth! I want my Christmas tree to be these colors!!!!
A stunning, fresh and modern card, I love it! The vibrant colors are perfection.
Beautiful modern look to that stencil set! I do wish all companies included some markings on their layering stencils. I agree changing the colors will give you lovely Fall cards! PS--you're right about my Blessed die being a very old one from PTI. I'm glad you like the leafy folder. It's actually very old and not 3D, which shows regular folders can also be beautiful.
I loved getting to GD with all of you this month!
Eye popping gorgeous Elizabeth. Love the multi colours you created here.
Even though the stencil was initially a challenge, your perseverance paid off with beautiful results. Bright, festive, modern!

That background turned out fantastic! I love the shades of green you used paired with the dark pink. Fun Christmas card.
Love that stencil Elizabeth ( I am playing along with my new stencil tomorrow!!) and the hot pink sentiment (another recent acquisition to my stash!!) You-re right - the stencil would be great for fall too.
Modern, colorful and full of fun. Great card, Elizabeth!
