My March Paper Pumpkin arrived a few days ago and I was excited to open and start creating. This month featured a bonus free gift--four stencils and a sponge.
As usual, the first thing I did was make one of each card and then cut apart one of each base. It's my tradition with kits!
I love the masks we got this month. Keep reading for some tips on using them. Another idea--don't be afraid to cut the envelope liners! They are so pretty this month and they work great on a card.
This one is so simple! I cut down the front of the card, matted with Pretty Peacock card stock and adhered to a Basic White base. The sentiment included in this month's kit was a perfect size to add to the bottom of the card.
Here's another card made with the envelope liner! I also used some of the scrap pieces from cutting down the bases to add some color strips to the front. Stamp the flowers off in Calypso Coral and add a sentiment to finish the card.
If you've never used stencils and sponges I have a few tips.
First: you can stretch the use of the sponge by cutting it into pieces. I cut it up like a pie!
Second: you can use pieces of card stock stapled to the end to show you what color you used on each piece.
Third: painters tape can be a great way to lightly hold a mask in place while you sponge.
