Today STAMPgirl Helen shares her creative takes inspired by a past project and using various STAMPlorations products.

Hello everyone... First of all... Happy Holidays to you all! I hope you all have a fabulous and wonderful celebrations with your family. Today, I am back with these stenciled CAS cards for this month Throwback Thursday feature post.

I was inspired by the stenciled background and the CAS design from this card that I made back on February 3, 2017 using Crisscrossed stencil, Color Blooms coloring book, and Kathryn’s Big Wishes stamp set.

The Throwback Card

On all three of the cards, I used the Sketchy Coffee Cups stamp set that I simply stamped the cups on white cardstock with VersaFine Onyx Black and fussy cut them with scissors. I used the Just Everyday Greetings Clear Stickers for the sentiment. I added each sticker on a white cardstock and strimmed it into sentiment strip.

Card #1 - Hello, Beautiful

On this first card, I used the Make Marks 1 stencil. I added the Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Ink on the white cardstock with blending brush and then I trimmed it smaller than the A2 card. I added it on top of the white card with E-Z Grand Runner.

Card #2 - Happy Birthday

For this second card, I used the Make Marks 4 stencil. And, I added the Faded Jeans Distress Oxide Ink on the white cardstock with blending brush and then I trimmed it smaller than the A2 card. I added it on top of the white card with E-Z Grand Runner.

Card #3 - Congratulations

Finally, for the third card, I used the Make Marks 6 stencil. I added the Broken China Distress Oxide Ink on another white cardstock with blending brush and then I trimmed it smaller than the A2 card. I added it on top of the white card with E-Z Grand Runner.

I added the cups on each card with permanent dries-clear adhesive glue, then I added each sentiment on the card with 3D foam tape. I embellished all three cards with similar colors sequins that I had in my stash.
