Hello friends! It's Friday, and the last day of June!! Wishing you a blessed and happy weekend full of fun and Summer! I have been super busy here and I have lots to show you in the next few weeks. Love it!! Hope you're doing well, and getting in lots of crafting time too. I have a fun project to share today - a set of notecards I made with the innovative Create In Quads Stencils from Taylored Expressions. These are seriously the coolest concept! (remember the snowflake cards I made last year?).... I saw the new stencil set called Ever In Bloom and I HAD to buy it! My cards came out really fresh and Summery and pretty!!

Each card is an A2 white card base. In order to keep the look cohesive, I used yellow cardstock and mini gingham and vellum on all of them as my accents. I started by stenciling the GORGEOUS panel of florals. (I'm kicking myself that I didn't take a photo of just the stenciled part!! Sorry!!) The concept is this: One set of large 8x11 stencils that stencil an entire sheet of cardstock at once...with four different designs. Then you cut the paper into four and you have four card front panels!!! Here are all four of my cards, and you can see the background on each one is different - but they were all stenciled together!! LOVE!
Here are some photos of each individual card.... After I stenciled the panel, I generously splashed on white ink spray to make the look softer! It's soooo pretty in person. I used the stamp set from the Here Comes The Sun Card Kit - it's called Shine So Bright. Unfortunately this sentiment set is only available in the kit. However, sometimes Taylor will release the sets later individually. I adore the fonts in this set. You can use any of your favorite sentiment stamp sets though!
There are matching dies to cut out parts of the stencils - as here - the corners can be flat on the paper or die cut out and mounted onto the card as I did!! It's such a nice look.

I used a vellum oval to stamp the large Irish Blessing Stamp for the sentiment for this one. I used Stazon Ink for the vellum so it wouldn't smudge or smear!!
For this fourth card, I used the matching die cut to cut out the floral spray!! For my stenciling, I used both my large and small blender brushes and shaded with inks on all the elements. It gives such a nice look.
As my accents, I used pearls, since this look was so feminine. These would be great to use as bridal shower invites, or thank you cards too...

I am going to use this card as a housewarming card! That sentiment is so lovely!
These stencils are so fun and fabulous to work with. Makes it a breeze to make a bunch of cards at once. You could easily use fall colors or Christmas colors and change the entire look of these notecards. The possibilities are endless - and your creativity can run wild! Thanks for spending some time with me today. See you soon! XOXO
