Sneak Peek: September 2023 Stencils

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a little peek at two new stencils: Deco Leaves Stencil and Layered Fall Wreath Stencils. These new 6×6 stencils are going to really step up your Autumn themed projects so let’s jump right in and take a look!

New release will be available September 12th

My first card is using the Deco Leaves Stencil and I just love this simple but beautiful design! It reminds me of a warm sweater or scarf when it starts to get chilly outside. I used Antique Linen Distress Oxide onto kraft cardstock to create this background with a foam blending tool.

For the card, I cut it with the largest Stitched Torn Rectangles Die and layered it with a dark red cardstock onto my card base. I cut mushrooms and leaves from the Fall Mug Additions Dies and colored them with alcohol markers. I layered them with my Thankful Script Hot Foil Plate sentiment that was cut with the coordinating Thankful Shadow Die, as well as my stamped sentiment from the Sentiment Strips: Fall Stamp Set and Sentiment Strips Dies. Some final touches of liquid embellishments in a vanilla color were added to match the ink of the stenciled background!

For the Layered Fall Wreath Stencils, I wanted to go a little non-traditional in my colors. I stenciled the leaves with the A layer in different colors of Distress Oxide onto a cream colored cardstock. I used Saltwater Taffy, Speckled Egg, Tea Dye and Vintage Photo with foam blending tools. For the leaf details of the B layer, I used some brown stencil paste which gives the background some subtle texture.

When the background was dry, I trimmed it to be slightly smaller than A2 and glued it to my card base. Then I made an Acorn Shaker from shimmery brown and rose gold cardstock and filled it with Espresso Confetti.

I wanted to add in some cute images from the Fall Jar Stamp Set, so I stamped a few out on cream colored cardstock in a brown ink and colored them in with alcohol markers. I used the Fall Jar Coordinating Dies to cut them out and attached them to the top of my acorn. I added a few more Espresso Confetti pieces around my card for some extra shimmery fun.

I hope you enjoyed this sneak peek of these new stencils; you’re absolutely going to love the rest of the release. I’m so ready for sweater weather with these new products!
