I am featuring not 1, not 2 note 3...(wait for it) 4 stencils in total. 😁
First up, it is Elegant Swirls Stencil.
First up, it is Elegant Swirls Stencil.
As the name Elegant Swirls suggested, this stencil is elegant and seems to be perfect for using embossing paste.
Paired with Sweet Peas, this stenciled wedding card was rather easy to create!
The 2nd featured stencil is Calligraphy Maze Stencil.
I had a lot of fun think about about this card design and thought I would give it a fun and sweet twist!
It turns out nicely as the ink-blending with the Calligraphy Maze Stencil work nicely together.
I only need to add sentiment and sequins. This card is surely to please that someone special!
I utilize the trendy sentiment from "Story of Us" Stamp Set. I love the idea of using the maze to convey something special. This card basically says..."I found us!".

The 3rd feature stencil is Step Builder Stencil.
I carefully applied various Altenew green ink with the Step Builder Stencil to create a background with a gradient effect.
I then cut out the upper portion of the stenciled background to create a "pocket". The "pocketed" was adhered with double-side tape with the opening on top.
This creates a gorgeous backdrop with the floral. I stamped the images (from Crown Bloom )with my previously Altenew ink-sprayed paper.
The 4th (and last) featured stencil is this Feeling Dotty Stencil.
I started out with a colorful stenciled dotty background which was rather easy and fun to do.
Like my 1st card, I used the same embossing paste to highlight a few spots.
I then added the Climbing Clematis to the mix and it is done!
I hope my 4 projects give you some idea about these splendid stencils.

Beautiful cards! I especially love the use of texture paste with stencils... love that texture and dimension it adds!
Stunning cards!!
*GASP*. You've really done it this time. Wow! Those new stencils served you well. LOVE both the full and selected paste embossing you did. Also, stitching on the maze card is simply brilliant and so pretty. All the backgrounds are so gorgeous that there aren't enough words to explain how impactful they are.
My goodness, each card is lovely. I especially like the 'step builder' stencil, brilliant idea to make a pocket!
Beautiful cards as always - love the combinations of the stencils with other Altenew stamps (especially the florals!)

sheen it has for the BG.

Your cards are so very pretty and definitely do justice to the great stencils in this new Altenew release.
Your cards look great! I like the ink blending on the maze and how it kind of fades out along the edges. Making a pocket on the step builder card was a great idea.

Your cards using the new Altenew stencils are terrific. I especially liked the bright colors you used to make the Feeling Dotty background for your last card. The clematic flower on that same card was awesome... it will be another stamp to purchase. Thanks for sharing your work!!
