Stencil Surprise Creative Challenge

If you know me at all, you know stenciling is one of my favorite techniques—I love it. I was thrilled when we added stencils to our product line! One of the reasons I love stenciling is because it’s so versatile. You can use stenciling in home décor, scrapbooking, card making (I saw some great cards at leadership!), just about anything!

So March is our own little stenciling month, OK? Remember to post by the last day of the month—I’m so excited to see all the different stenciling surprises you create

No way!!! I just posted a project today with the Folk Flowers Stencils! I'm not sure it should be "officially" entered since it's almost a copy of Sarah's presentation at Leadership...she totally inspired me.

I'll share anyway, since I thought it was super cool (how about some brownie points (kidding!)

I would love to be able to read this challenge. Unfortunately, the text is over the header and there is no way to make out the words.

Thanks for the challenge! I picked out one of my stencils and came up with a card... perfect timing, since I'll have my Stamp Clubbers make this card this month, too :-)

I love our Stencils! I especially love the texture of Stenciling on our Designer Series Papers! I have some of our newest stencils on the way that I can't wait to play with, so I may have some more to show you soon.

In the meanwhile, here are two cards I made with the Folk Friends Stencils:

And another card I made with the Kind Thoughts Stencil:

Hope you like this idea I had with the stencil. I used it as the tail of a falling star and love how it turned out. http://stampscrapdiva.blogspot.com/2010/03/wish-upon-star.html

Hi Shelli,

I just love paisley, so here is a simple card using the smallest of the paisley stencils.
Thanks for looking!

Thanks again for the stencil challenge! As a result, my Stamp Clubbers actually got to make two stencil projects this month at Club. One project I posted already, and here is the other.

We did spiral notebooks with Faux Suede flowers and the Kind Thoughts Brocade element (and of course a little bit of bling!)

Great! A stencil challenge-especially since we Aussies don't yet have the gorgeous Stampin' Up! stencils (yet)
But that won't stop me-wait-we have punches! I can use the punched-out piece for a stencil... I hope you enjoy my Easter card

This is a card I recently made for a swap I did with our team. Used a lot of Occasion Mini Catalog items, which I just love!!
