This week at Just Us Girls #846 it is Stencil time with our lovely hostess Bobby. I pulled out an older set of stencils. These Pink Fresh Studio Built On Dreams stencil, stamp and die sets work really well together and it's fun picking out colors to use with them. I went with a fall colorway.
Be sure to check out the design team's cards on their blogs where they share the products they used and lots of techniques too. Carrie Sheridan is our guest this month and don't forget to visit her as well.
The house outline stamp was heat embossed with copper embossing powder. I like the fall look it gives. I used some tiny Spellbinders Gold Color Essentials gems for added sparkle to a very matte looking card and various inks to stencil the floral patterns onto my shaped card base. I die cut two houses and joined them on the left with a "hinge" I made using a narrow rectangle scored in half. I used glue on each side of the rectangle's fold to attach the hinge between the two houses on the left side in order for the card to open and close. I chose "home" as the sentiment from this stamp set because during the fall holidays families often travel home and I can use this card that way.
We hope you will come play along with us this week!

Cute floral house shaped card!
What a wonderful fall card, Carol! Shaped cards are so fun, and this one is extra special with those beautiful florals and the extra sparkle from the embossed copper outline and the gold gems! Thank you so much for your sweet mention of me. I’ve really enjoyed being the GD this month!
This house is oodles of fun! Such a cute card, Carol!
