I was on Stampin' Connection the other day, our demonstrator sharing web site, and came across this great idea for using the stencils from the Build a Banner Simply Created Kit in card making:
The card I saw was a Christmas card, but I wanted to make monogrammed note cards. For this card I used the colours I already had out from making my welcome banner. Here's another colour combination:
This time I wanted a colour combination that was classy and looked a bit more polished.
Then I got to thinking, we could use the background stencils the same way we use Designer Series Paper or embossing folders to add a layer of interest to our cards:
Cute right? I just love finding out that I product I bought for one purpose is more versatile than I thought it was! What do you have in your stash that you can use in a different way than you have before?

Those cards using the build a banner stencils are very cute, and I like the color choices.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! I was just building my Christmas Banner but I may have to make a couple of these cards to showcase the versatility of this kit! TFS, I love your cards.
ReplyDeleteThanks scramptastic and Janet! I'm glad you like them. You should give the stencil cards a try, they're quick and easy!
