This was a layered stencil in the Spellbinders Advent Calendar 2023. My first time using a layered stencil so I thought I would try it out first on some pattern paper scrap I had. I ended up liking it so I stamped a sentiment in the center. I first did the branch then the leaves and finished off with the berries, using my distress inks and a finger dauber to apply the ink..

- Diamond Press - Happy Holidays sentiment stamp
Then I tried another on just plain cardstock, added a bow to the center and a diecut sticker. It is a gold sticker but you can see my red point and shot camera in the reflection.

Stunning cards!
Gorgeous, Connie! What a pretty stencil. I love how you used it to frame the sentiment on the first card. The second card is equally as impressive with that love foiled bell. Two really pretty cards!!
What a great stencil and I love that you used it on a DP first. That turned out great.
Very pretty stencil, makes for a lovely Holiday Bough! Doubling it makes a very pretty frame and the bell on your 2nd card looks so festive!
Ooooh, what a pretty stencil and two lovely cards! The framing of the sentiment on the first is gorgeous, but I also like the added bow and bell on the second card. Way to get your Christmas cards done!
You did a wonderful job using the stencils. I haven't done many cards using stencils. (Other when I used metal stencils and embossing paste) I want to try again using stencils with my with my distress inks.
They are both beautiful, Connie xoxo
They both look so nice, I especially like the bell on your second card.
All the best Jan

WoW!! Both cards are absolutely gorgeous! I love the stencil both ways - on designer paper and plain.
These are the perfect use of that stencil. I had so much trouble with the stencil a couple days ago but I finally got something that didn’t smudge.
