Introducing... Stencil - Layering Spring Blossom

Happy Weekend.

Welcome to the final product introduction for the April 2025 Release. Today we have another layering stencil, I told you I was obsessed! 

This stencil is a three layer stencil called Layering Spring Blossom and the flower shaper coordinates with yesterday's product, Originally Organic Flower Garden clear stamp set. Though it can be used wonderfully on its own too. 

Let's have a look at the stencil in action...

More pretty flowers to make me happy. I love seeing how the Brand Ambassadors are inspired to use the products. They so often think of things I don't! 

Be sure to hop along and leave some comment love along the way, we appreciate them. 

This stencil, along with all the products that have been introduced this week are available tomorrow at 9am BST Sunday 27th April on the website. I will also have them with me at Crafterama Lincoln. Plus, we will have our traditional Release Day Brand Ambassador Blog Hop & Giveaway.

Happy Hopping & Crafty Hugs

CAS Colours & Sketches #218

Hey!

Oh my, these days & weeks are certainly flying by! I think I'm finding them to pass so quick as my days and evenings are filled to the brim ;)

My days are spent entertaining and occupying two crazy beans! They are proper little boys, loving playing outside and getting dirty now the days are getting warmer and dryer ;) Though they are pretty good the majority of the time and play well together, so I do get the 'odd' moment to get things done. You can guarantee that if I get any kind of 'work' out to do they want me for something! So, I have been 'trying' to get it done once they go to bed, which occasionally has been a challenge :(

Hence the time I do get has been spent on getting new products ready for release on 6th May, which is the day I will be at Happy Stampers Festival in the Wirral (Liverpool) - YAY! Are you planning on coming...? I'd love to see you if you are :)

Anyway, I did find a little creative time to make todays card using hostess sketch for this weeks CAS Colours & Sketches challenge HERE and seen below.

And this is how I decided to use it...

For some reason I *really* wanted to make a shaker card and in my head I had forgotten about the vertical strip on the sketch! So, I adapted my original idea of how I was going to make the shaker but still got to make one! 

I purposefully didn't include a sentiment on the sketch as sometimes cards just don't need one on the front. Though the little square on the sketch could easily be where a sentiment could go or be placed. I decided to make a Spring card inspired by the current AAA Cards challenge HERE. 

I chose the solid flower from Flower Power #2 which is a modern Blossom flower design and paired it with a couple of leaves from Natures Treasures. I stamped them in colours to match the pretty pastel sequins in the shaker, which are from Pretty Pink Posh.

I hope that I have inspired you to play along this week and if you need a little more inspiration, be sure to head on over to the CAS Colours & Sketches blog HERE to see what the amazing Design Team and Guest Designer have created using the colours.

I look forward to seeing you in the gallery & have fun!
