I love layering stencils. They are so easy to use. I’ve shown how to use them many times in videos, however, I still get new people unsure of how to use them. Therefore I decided to do a new tutorial on how to use these wonderful products.

Stampin’ Up!’s layering stencils are numbered making it easy to know what order to use them. Another tip is to always start with your lightest colour and increase the colour intensity. Stick to colours that are next to each other in the colour wheel. Have you seen the fabulous colour wheel from Stampin’ Up!? Check it out here. It is great for choosing the colours for a card or scrapbook page.

The Linked Together stencils are layering stencils. Five stencils layer together to create lovely backgrounds. This time, I’ve actually only used one layer. You don’t always need to use all the layers. This is a simple and stunning design and I love it. The above image is in Berry Burst and the one below is Pretty Peacock. Which do you prefer?

I love cherry trees. In my local area, there are quite several cherry trees. I love watching them come into bloom. This is my ode to those cherry trees. The Frosted Forest bundle includes a stamp set, dies and layering stencils that make colouring easy.

I have these lovely floral cards to share today. Both of these use Layers of Beauty stencils without the stamp set. This bundle is so versatile and all the results are amazing.

The version above uses Poppy Parade, Real Red and Cherry Cobbler. I have a lovely red rose outside my front door, which inspired this card. My neighbours have a yellow rose and this inspired the card below. Which one do you prefer? Let me know in the comments.

This lovely floral is coloured using stencils and nothing else. Isn’t it amazing? I think so. I was glad to find this new stamp, stencil and die set in the catalogue. It makes beautiful floral cards a breeze. I used Lemon Lolly, Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry for the card above. The one below is Petal Pink, Pretty in Pink and Flirty Flamingo. Which do you like best?

I’ve used this set previously to make a few cards. I decided to step it up with this card and use heat embossing alongside the ink blending. All the stamping is heat embossed with silver embossing powder. It will resist the ink blending, leaving the silver metallic lines.

I’ve coloured this card using the matching stencils. This gives these florals this lovely shading.

I love how this card turned out. The flowers are so bright and pretty. I wanted my card to be a festive one so I limited my colour palette to the reds, greens and yellows. I was thinking of poinsettias. The flower is meant to be a sunflower I think. I have used it this way in a previous card. However, depending on how you colour it, it can be whatever you want it to be.

The Abundant Beauty stencil is a layering stencil but I did extra shading with both my blending brushes and sponge daubers. There are only 3 leaves on the stencil. I kept moving the stencil around to add more leaves and fill in the gaps in the design.

I do love stencils. They are amazing. There is so much you can do with them. I get every stencil Stampin’ Up! release. They are perfect for easy backgrounds and focal images alike.

The stencil I’ve used today is part of the Abundant Beauty pack. It creates a simple autumnal background. You can use just one ink colour or multiple colours as I’ve done today. I took my blending brushes and ink pads and had lots of fun.
