Sneak Peek: October 2024 Stencils

Hi, friends! It’s Lauren and I am so excited to be sharing a sneak peek at two of the new stencils that will be released! The first stencil I am sharing today is called Layered Winter Hats Stencils and I was inspired by the Berry Bright Shaker Beads colors. I started with a pink cardstock and used Distress Oxides in Festive Berries for the (A) stencil and a mix of Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn for the (B) stencil.

New release will be available October 16th

I also splattered white ink all over the background to give it a snow-like look and to bring in the white from the bead colors. Then I trimmed the background down to 4-⅛ x 5-⅜” (just slightly smaller than A2) and attached it to  a  cards base. I cut the Winter Hat Shaker Dies and Large Joy Shadow Dies from dark pink, green and white cardstock to decorate the card. I added the Berry Bright Shaker Beads with acetate to make the Winter Hat a shaker! For some final touches, I added a few Strawberry Shimmer Mix confetti to the card.

Moving on to a less bright and party looking card to a classic and elegant snowflake card, I used the Cascading Snowflakes Stencil with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide on kraft cardstock. After splattering it with some opaque white watercolor, I trimmed the panel to 4×5-¼” and used it as the back of my shaker panel. I diagonally cut some white cardstock of the same size and added acetate for the front of the shaker and filled it with Snow Days Shaker Beads.

To decorate the front, I cut Stitched Snowflakes Dies out of silver cardstock as well as stamping snowflakes and my sentiment from the Snowflakes Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink to match with my stenciling. I also added a few Pacific Blue Pearls for some extra shine.

I hope you enjoyed these cards with two of the new Stencils – you’re going to love all of them along with everything else from this release!
