In today's video, I'm creating two completely different cards using two free stencil designs from Miss Ink Stamps. For the birthday card, I demonstrate the Double Vision Technique with the June 2026 Art Deco 6x6 Free With Purchase Stencil and the Everyday Sentiment Stamp Set to create a soft, elegant background with lots of visual interest. For the pet sympathy card, I combine the June 2026 Paw Heart 4x4 Free Thank You Stencil, the Big Paws 6x6 Stencil, Whodunnit Stamp Set, ink blending, alcohol marker coloring, and stamping to create a heartfelt clean and layered design.

If you're looking for stencil card ideas, cardmaking inspiration, ink blending techniques, or ways to get more from your crafting supplies, this video shares several beginner-friendly techniques and design ideas. You'll learn how to use stencils for both focal points and backgrounds while creating cards for two very different occasions: a birthday card and a pet sympathy card.
