Spring and Easter Stenciled Cards | Pretty Pink Posh Blog Hop

Hello crafty friends.

This month Pretty Pink Posh has released some amazing spring and Easter stamps, dies, and stencils. Today I’m going to be sharing four cards that I made with products from this release.

I am especially going to focus on the layered stencils in this release. I love using layered stencils to make cards because they make for such easy cards. All you have to do is pick your favorite color ink and you have a beautiful stencil background which can be cut down to put on a card base. Many times you can just add a sentiment and be done or you can add stamps and sentiments for a little more detail. It’s really up to you!

Before I share more details about my cards, I want to let you know that Pretty Pink Posh is having a blog hop where you have a chance to win one of six $25 gift certificates to the Pretty Pink Posh shop. Be sure to read all the way to the end of this post to find out more about the blog hop, see some of the cards I made with this release, and find links to all of the supplies I used to make my cards.

Card 1

For my first card, I used the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Easter Floral stencil.

For all of my cards, I’ll be using colored card stock. Using colored card stock is just another way of stepping up your stenciling techniques, but you can use white card stock if you prefer and it will look just as nice.  I chose a piece of green card stock for this stencil background because I wanted it to look like the bunnies, flowers, and Easter eggs are in the grass. I used different color inks to create a colorful stenciled background. For the last layer (Layer D), I added white Pops of Color for the bunny tails and flower centers. I did color the noses of the bunnies with a black sharpie after stenciling because I thought the black looked must better than white for the noses. You will see this on the finished card.

I love how colorful the stenciled background is! This stencil truly makes up the entire card with all of the detailed images so I just cut to down to fit on an A2 card base.  To finish this card, I simply added a sentiment. The sentiment I used is the Pretty Pink Posh Easter Wishes Shadow.

Card 2

I cut down the card panel using a Spellbinders A2 layering die and added the Scrapbook.com Gingerbread ink around the edges. I used the Pretty Pink Posh Easter Mug Additions die set that coordinates with the Winter Mug die set to make my mug look like a bunny and I added a sentiment from the Easter Sentiments stamp set.

Card 3

For my next card, I used the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Chicks stencil and inked the stencil onto a peach colored cardstock. After adding ink to all of the stencils, I added back the Layer C stencil, which is the egg shell layer, and applied Brutus Monroe’s Alabaster Glitter Glaze. The glitter glaze is a clear glaze with glitter added to it. What’s nice about this type of glitter glaze is that the underlying ink color shows through it which makes it look like the teal eggs have a glitter.

I used a rectangle die to cut down the stencil. I added a sentiment from the Easter Sentiments stamp set to the label die in the coordinating die set. I also added a stamp from the Spring Chicks stamp set and added a few of the Sea Foam Pearls.

I added this panel to a white A2 size card base.

Card 4

For this card, I used the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Umbrellas stencil. I inked the umbrellas onto a light blue cardstock because I wanted it to look like the sky behind the umbrellas. I used Scrapbook.com Candy Shop Pink ink for Layer A, Scrapbook.com Pink Flamingo ink for Layer C, and Scrapbook.com Pops of Color for Layer B. (Yes, I used the stencils out of order too!) . The Pops of Color were applied to the dots and stripes on the umbrellas. I used the Summer Peach and Sunshine Pops of Color.

Note: When using Pops of Color, make sure you work quickly to apply them and remove your stencil before the Pops of Color dries too much. Otherwise, when you remove the stencil, you may find that it tears the cardstock like mine did in a few places. I wasn’t worried about it though because I was able to cut only the parts of the stencil that I wanted to use on my card and hide the mistakes on the finished card.

For Layer D (raindrops), I added the Brutus Monroe Silver Glitter Glaze (although it’s hard to see in the picture).

I used a scallop circle die with vellum on the inside of the circle so that the beautiful stenciled background could still be seen. I added the rain boots and flowers stamps from the Pretty Pink Posh Flower Garden stamp set and added a sentiment from the Pretty Pink Posh Spring Jar stamp set.

I colored the stamps with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers in the following colors — Violet, Lilac, Dark Gray, Yellow, Orange, and Peach Pink. I also used the Blender marker to blend the colors.

I added a pink piece of cardstock around the umbrella layer and added it to an A2 size card.
