For Just Us Girls #803 we have Stencil Week! This Concord & 9th stencil, stamp and die set got here earlier than expected and I had to try it out right away. When I first saw it I wanted to try a Christmas scene first thing. I grabbed the Happy Christmas sentiment from Handmade Holiday (by C & 9th also) to have the main greeting on the card front. This scene looks like dwellings on a hill to me and I just love it. After stenciling, it was a lot of fun to add winter plants, railings and banners to the city block.

- Concord & 9th City Block Bundle, Mini ink pads
- Distress and Distress Oxide ink pads
- Silver card stock
- Altenew Obisidian black ink pad
These stencils are easy to line up and they are made from a sturdy plastic. They don't bend and move while using them. I tried stenciling them to look weathered, then added shiny and glittery pots for the plants with silver railings for festive touches.
I'm already working on other cards using these fun stencils. Come back to see other color combinations!
Please join us this week as it is the last Just Us Girls Challenge of 2025 for us. Stenciled cards can be quick and are fun to make.
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
