Easy!! Use Your Layering Stencils without the Stamp Set.

Easy!! Use Your Layering Stencils without the Stamp Set. Thankful Garden. Crafting with Ashee – Independent Stampin’ Up! Demo. UK.

Today I’m sharing a fun and simple project that proves you don’t always need the matching stamp set and dies to create a gorgeous card! Using just the Thankful Garden layering stencils, some vibrant inks, and a few finishing touches, I made this beautiful floral card that’s perfect for a friend.

How I Made It

I started by layering the Thankful Garden stencils directly onto a piece of white cardstock. Using blending brushes, I added colour with a light hand, building up the intensity until I was happy with the result.

• Highland Heather / Pretty in Pink for the lighter petals
• Gorgeous Grape / Pretty in Pink for the deeper, detailed petal layers
• Lemon Lime Twist for the base of the leaves
• Granny Apple Green to highlight and add dimension to the leaves

The notches on the top of these stencils make them a breeze to line up. Of course, because they are layered, you get amazing depth without needing extra tools or tricks!

Measurements

• Gorgeous Grape / Pretty in Pink Cardstock – A6 Card Base – This is an A4 sheet cut in half and then folded in half.
• Basic White Cardstock – 14.35cm X 10cm X 2 pieces

Why You Should Try This

If you’ve ever hesitated to buy layering stencils because you thought you needed the full bundle (stamps, dies, everything) — this card shows you don’t!
The stencils alone can create a full, stunning focal point. It’s quick, it’s affordable, and it gives you so much flexibility to create your custom looks.
