Jungle Vines Layering Stencil

By on April 30, 2022 in Paper Crafting

Hello! Today I have a Layering Stencil TIP that has just become a new FAVORITE!! I’m using the Jungle Vines Layering stencil from Miss Ink stamps…and this is perfect for Jungle scenes or floral backdrops.

Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube to see my favorite Layering Stencil technique:

With this one tip, your layering stencils will become a breeze to line up and get beautiful results! I used the Jungle Vines stencil and the Tropical Trellis stencil for this card. For the images, I used Jungle Friends and Pretty Birds…all from Miss Ink Stamps.

I’m often asked what supplies I use to make my cards and projects, so I’ve put together a list using affiliate links when possible. If you make a purchase with these links I may receive a small commission. These help me to keep up with blog costs and continue bringing you fun projects. Thank you so much for your support! 








		
		
			
			
		
	





I hope you enjoy this project today! I had a great time putting it all together. I have been on a short break, but I’m back and now ready to tackle more cards and videos. So I’ll be sharing more soon!

Hello! Today I have some groovy cards to share using the April Hedgehog Hollow Kit. I’m over at the Hedgehog Hollow blog, too!





I wanted to share these cards today even though you can no longer order this kit….each month you must order the new kit before the 14th of the month. If you don’t you will receive the kit from the NEXT month.





I loved the April kit…check out these last two cards:

Tropical Birds

Hello! Today I have a fun card and video to share…this time it’s Tropical! I have a brand new stencil from Miss Ink Stamps to share that I’ve paired with Pretty Birds for a bright and happy card.





Watch the video below or in HD on YouTube:













I love these TOUCANS!






		
		
			
			
		
	





This new stencil is so pretty…and I love using two colors of ink on this stencil, so they blend together ever so slightly. It’s a perfect tropical background for these tropical birds!






		
		
			
			
		
	





I love a bright card, too…and happy, colorful birds!

Oh, that Dreamy tile embossing folder is so so beautiful!! Here I gently swiped an ink cube (in 2 colors) over the top to get color on the embossed portions. I have a video of how this came together, and I’ve linked it below for you:
