Do you like to use stencils? They are such an affordable and versatile product in our stash and I have 3 very different card examples and a video to share with you today!
Did you see that Altenew have released new stencils and we are hopping along to celebrate so you should have arrived here from AMANDA’s fabulous Blog!
Starting with a very glittery sparkly wedding card. I used the Altenew Embossing Paste and added my own ‘sparkle’ to the Feathery Stencil.
Over top I added a Spring Roses Die Cut flower
and an embossed sentiment from the Super Script Stamp Set.
Next it’s time for a Ink Blended rainbow! I used the Geometric Landscape Stencil.
And added some of the beautiful new colours of Enamel Dots.
Finally I created a Mountain Scene…. well, not quite it is acutally a sand dune.
I used the Clouds Stencil for the sky
and added a simple sentiment from the Many Thanks Stamp Set.
You can see my video here or Watch it in HD at YouTube.

Just beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely striking cards ❤️ the embossed card is so beautiful, but my favorite is the scene card so thanks for the tutorial and for posting the supplies.
Hi Therese. Love all of these cards and the bright color choices on each design. The “sand dunes” are great and remind me of my trip to the Gobi desert. Thanks for sharing.
I’m looking these new stencils. Your wedding card is gorgeous. I’m a huge fan of glitter and this is such an elegant card. Thanks for the video. I am in Phoenix right now and I love all the mountains that surround the city. I’m definitely getting these two stencil sets at some point. That cloud stencil is fantastic.
Oops. Was supposed to say loving these new stencils.
I like the feather stencil the best.
Gorgeous, Therese! xx

Really unique stencils in your video today. I’m glad you showed the cloud stencil as I might have overlooked it but it makes amazing clouds. You other stencil cards are both beautiful designs as well.
Wonderful cards. I especially love the cloud and sand dune card for its realistic look. I’ve recently started purchasing more stencils because I find for the cost, you can do so much with them
Therese You are a fountain of inspiration, thanks for sharing! All your cards are amazing! All are going to my inspiration board 😬 I hope to get a chance to recreate them soon 😉
Your first card is absolutely beautiful. I looked at it and right away thought to myself, it would be a perfect wedding card. Of course then, I read your post and you said it was a wedding card. I actually have a wedding card to do for a special couple who had to postpone their wedding and now are doing a small one with masks for all. I will use your wonderful card for inspiration.
These are gorgeous cards. I wasn’t sure about the cloud stencil but love it after seeing it used. I don’t have a cloud stencil and this may be the one for me! 🙂
I love the scene building stencil – especially the clouds
Your stencil scene building is awesome, Therese … there’s a grandeur about the dune you created that no doubt captures your experience in Namibia! Your shimmery wedding card is sheer elegance … and the graphic rainbow blending is delicious behind the bold black sentiment … yum! Hugs, Anita 🙂
That cloud stencil is fantastic. So glad to get away from the “cartoon” looking clouds!
Love these two very different cards.
These are spectacular!
I especially love the card using the geometric stencil.
Yes… stencils are so versatile and you did an awesome job showing that!! Beautiful card using the mountain scene stencil. It looks a little complicated to use, but your video helps make sense of it all… gorgeous layout and colors!
Amazing cards Therese. The stencils are so versatile and I love what you’ve created today, especially the rainbow geometric. It’s simple and bright. I’m going to pinch that idea to make a Congrats card for my nephew who has just graduated with First Class Honours. Thank you as always for your unending supply of inspiration. Now I’m off to watch the video.❤️
Absolutely love the sand dunes card. Beautiful colors. Love the shadow of the mountains. Great job.
Really like your sand dunes!
The mountain scene reminds me of the desert that we used to ride ATVs at. So pretty!!!!
Beautiful cards – another great release.
Such a lovely variety of stencils, and you showed them all off beautifully! I am loving what you did for your sand dunes and those gorgeous, realistic clouds!
Beautiful graphic scene building!
What a pretty card! I love these stencils!
The wedding card is beautiful, I love the way it looks with that stencil.
Such pretty bold designs!
I’ve never worked with stencils before…they are all beautiful! When I first saw the mountain stencil, my first thought was sand dunes. I love it.
The glitter feather card is stunning. I love that stencil!
Beautiful cards! I love the feathery stencil.
Great cards! I really like the stencils in this release especially the Mountain Scene stencil.
Stunning wedding card and the next 2 are equally fabulous. I love working with stencils and this new release is exciting. Thanks for sharing your beautiful work.
Lovely inspiration – tfs!
Gorgeous card. I love the way you created that shadow. That Mountain Scene stencil is genius! (And I really need one of those blending brushes!)
Beautiful cards x
Such great sand dunes. Love the way that mountain stencil works plus the clouds too!
Gorgeous cards! What a fabulous new release!
Beautiful card. I love the colors!
Beautiful cards. Some inspiration to use all the stencils I seem to collect. Thank you!
Wow amazing cards! I especially love the mountain scene stenciled card!
I think it is brilliant how you turned those mountains into sand dunes Therese! Good on ya’! I have to put the mountains onto my wish list as they look versatile, as does the cloud stencil, which I happen to think is the best one I’ve seen yet. Love your card.
What exciting cards! I love the card with the feathery background. Thanks for bringing a smile to my day.
STUNNING! I love the rainbow background and the glitter!
Lovely cards. You do amazing things with the stencils.
I know what I’m doing tonight — making that glitter background with an Altenew Stencil!!! Thank you!
Loved the tone on tone with the feather stencil!
Love these Therese!! Of course I’m partial to bright colors and rainbows so your geometric stencil card is my fave!!
Therese your projects are all amazing!
Love all of the cards… especially the colourful geometric stencilled card. Stunning
Brilliant cards Therese, and such a wonderful collection of techniques. I am utterly agog at your sand dune shadows!
I enjoyed your video and cards! I love videos but also like photos of your cards so I can PIN my favorites. I really liked your sand dune mountains and their shadow. Thanks for the tips on how to do them.
I wasn’t sure about the geometric landscape stencil but now that I have seen the outcome I am impressed! All of your cards are beautiful.
Beautiful. Your cards are great.
Love seeing these projects! Simply wonderful. you rocked the release!

Always love your creativity and chat. The layers in the Celebrate card was just gorgeous. Always a good one to watch in action. Hopping on…….

Must confess I have a stash of stencils and rarely use them (is anyone surprised!!). I have even stashed away the kiddos stencils cause I might use them one day! 😉
Sand dunes and the shadow are a wonderful variation on this stencil
Fantastic set of cards! I love the smooth ink blending a lot! 🙂
Really gorgeous cards … that ink blended rainbow background is stunning!

Altenew never ceases to amaze me with their new releases and your designs always make their products shine! 🎉😎🎉☀️🌟🎉
Always love your work, Therese! Your scene building is awesome! And my fave card is the first one with the glittery stencil paste—unique and beautiful! Truth be told, I wasn’t so excited about this release until I saw the hop creations. Now I want it all! Thanks for sharing your expertise with us here.
I love your use of color, & I love flowers. I’ll be back to get some education!
Beautiful creations! I love that there are so many versatile stencils being produced. Thanks for sharing.
Nice cards
Thanks for showing how to line up the stencils to complete the mountains/sand dunes. I love mountains and all things nature. This is definitely on my wishlist.
You are definitely representing the new products wonderfully. Thanks for sharing your work.
I truly love the embossed stencil design with glitter! It adds such a classic, elegant look!
Stencils are my FAVORITE…so I’m dying!!! So many possibilities. Can’t wait 💗💗💗
Wow, Therese, I absolutely LOVE your sand dune! The colors look amazing together, and that blending work is sheer perfection! This is some fun inspiration, and the idea for a sand dune is spot on! Warm Hugs!

Your Celebrate card is stunning!!
I love the shine and brilliance of your celebrate card.
Beautiful card! I love the clouds stencil and great idea to make the sand dunes. Great colors.
You have reminded me that I have embossing paste! I love the tone-on-tone + sparkle. Very clean edges.
All of these cards are awesome but I think my favourite is the Celebrate card. I have several stencils but never think to use them. Your cards are inspiring!
I’m still on a wonderful vacation in Colorado!!! The mountains are filling my heart and I’m eager to try out the Mountain Scene stencil. It will be on my next order! Thanks for showing how to use it!!! Sometimes I’m sure I’ll figure it out, then . . . .nope. You’ve made it look SO EASY.
Therese, all of your cards all lovely. The mountain scenes with the clouds are my favorite. They are simple but say so much.
Gorgeous cards! I really love the colors and textures on your card with the Feathery stencil design! Elegant!
Beautiful backgrounds and love the mountain scene.
Love the glitter and bold colors. Great stencils. TFS
I love them all. Great card designs.
Great projects Therese, I love how you used the mountain stencil as sand dunes, looks amazing!
Stunning, Love this release…. THanks for sharing!
Awesome cards! I think my favorite this time is the card with the feathers stencil (but it was a difficult choice). The texture paste with the glitter is gorgeous! The other cards are fabulous, too! Thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous cards! Love the mountain scene!
Thanks for sharing.
Great video and idea for stencil use. I like the elements for the first card.
