It is Friday again and here I am with my projects for my challenge with BożenA. It was her turn to call the challenge theme and she chose “stencils”. She could not have timed it better as I had just received my new crafty toys from Waffle Flower which consisted of the Postage Collage stencil set and I also had time to spend in my craft room. So I made three cards.
This first one is using the Christmas Collage stencil set and coordinating die. I used Distress Oxide inks and finger daubers to stencil the designs. I worked on Bristol Smooth cardstock and then cut the “stamp sheet” with the die afterwards. I added some accents with the stamps that came with the set and then added the card panel to a patterned paper matte before applying it to a landscape top-folding cardbase. The Merry Christmas sentiment is a Spellbinders die.
My second card is similar, but I used the Coloring Stencil set and created a card in brown and pink. I used a kraft cardbase and did the background inking of the collage in pink and the accents in brown – again using Distress Oxide inks. I added a sentiment cut with a Lawn Fawn die.
My last card is a mini slimline card and done with the Everyday Collage stencil set. For this card I cut the postage stamps up and arranged three of them on the card. I added a pre-printed sentiment to the black cardpanel, which I in turn adhered to a white cardbase.
I am excited to see what BożenA has made for this challenge and I invite you to head over to her page and take a look. Remember to leave her a comment while you are there.

One challenge, so many beautiful cards. Monika, you surprised me again. Your postage stamps look amazing. I love both blocks and single stamps. It's an incredibly inspiring and so different approach to the subject of the challenge. Thank you for another fun together and a great dose of beauty.
Beautiful cards, all quite different. You had beautiful ideas
All of your creations look amazing! I just saw those Waffle Flower products the other day and you've done such a beautiful job with the postage items! I really love all of the different interpretations with them too! The last card with the black background really pops! Thanks for sharing your inspiration!
A fun stencil and a great variety of ways to use it, Monica!
All three are beautiful, awesome stencil, hugs, Lori m
