Happy Monday!<\/p>\n

It’s Shabneez <\/a>here and I hope you’re looking forward to the week ahead!  You know, so often have to make a few cards but don’t have a lot of time to spend on them, yet I still want them to look good.  In this post I show you how, with the help of a stencil, sentiment stamp and distress inks you can make 3 beautiful cards in just 30 minutes.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

<\/a>
\nThe hardest choice I had to make was which stencils to use as there are so many CrafTangles stencils that I wanted to use!  Anyway, I settled on three and put them all on a sheet of A3 watercolour paper.  I then inked them using distress inks and spritzed them with water.  I left them to dry naturally as it didn’t take long but you could use a heat gun to speed up the process even more.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\nWhile the images were drying, I chose co-ordinating CrafTangles cardstock and cut to the sizes I wanted my card bases.<\/p>\n

For my first card, I cut a 4″x4″ square from the stencil background and adhered it to the 5″x5″ blue card blank.  I cut another strip to go across the card and heat embossed a sentiment.  To finish I added a few sequins.<\/p>\n

\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor my next card I fussy cut around the stencil, it didn’t take long at all and I folded it in half and adhered it to the card base.  I heat embossed a sentiment and added faux pearls to embellish.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nFor my final card I used a stitched die to cut away a part of the stencil background and adhered it to the card.  I stamped an image and added bakers twine to embellish.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\n\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nI think you’ll agree the stencil backgrounds really don’t need a great deal of embellishments to make them look effective and the coloured cardstock makes them ‘pop’ even more.<\/div>\n
\n<\/div>\n
\nHopefully, this post will make you reach for your stencils the next time you want to make a a few quick yet effective cards.<\/div>\n

\nSee you again next month hopefully with some festive makes!<\/div>\n
