Struggling with stencils? In this video, I’m sharing three easy card ideas that will help you use your stencils in more creative ways without adding extra complexity. You’ll learn simple stencil stamping techniques to create a soft watercolor look using both the positive and negative designs, plus easy ways to combine stamping, coloring, and die cutting for clean and layered cards.

I’ll also walk through a third design that uses masking, ink blending, and background stenciling to add depth and detail without making the process overwhelming. These three different card inspiration ideas show how to get more from your supplies, including the May 2026 Free with Purchase Stencil Classic Florals and the 4x4 Thank You Stencil Leafy Heart from Miss Ink Stamps, while keeping your designs simple, polished, and easy to recreate.
