Her line, Sanna Lippert Designs, features six absolutely gorgeous, versatile stencils that are bound to bring so much texture and artistic flair to your projects.

You can check out and shop all six of these beauties right now in the shop at stamplorations.com/new-products.

Make sure to read all the way to the end of this post, because we have a fun giveaway waiting for you! But first, let's hear it from Sanna herself. Sheput together a short flip-through video to show you the stencils up close, followed by several gorgeous projects she created for each design:

Hello everyone! It´s Sanna here today with a stencil project share. There are plenty of new products available at STAMPlorations, including 6 new STENCILS designed by me. I´m very excited about this release - hope you are too. 

Without further ado, here is a short flip-thru video of the new stencil designs: 

 The first card is done using the Profile #3 slimline stencil and black stamp ink. I stenciled the images onto a gelli printed collage paper (for which I had used other stencils from my line - this and this one.

  

For the next card I´ve used the Henna Pattern stencil with light green and blue Distress Oxide Ink tones and some paper flowers, brads and a stamped sentiment.

For my third card, I used the Modern Envelopes stencil.

One of my favorite stencils from the collection is Profile #1. I wanted to create a soft an eerie image, so I kept in a monochromatic color in pink. I stenciled the image onto a light pink card base, then added a stamped sentiment and some golden splatter for sparkle.

For yet another face image card I used Profile #2 with black Distress Ink. I then outlined the hair part with a black pen, stamped with misted stamp onto the hair areas to create a fun detail, then added some golden splatters and a stamped sentiment.

For the next card I used the Profile #3 slimline stencil (just one image of it) and patterned paper as a background and enamel hearts for decor.

The next card is done using the Abstract Notes stencil with 3 different tones of yellow Distress Oxide Inks.

And finally I used the Profile #2 stencil with the Noteworthy and the Mixed Media Grunge stamp sets for the last card. Inks are Distress Oxide Inks. I love the combination of yellow and pink and the boldness it adds to this card. 

I am very excited about this new stencil release. I hope you enjoy the new designs too!!

Happy crafting!
xxx, Sanna
