Hi there! Welcome to my stop of the amazing Hey Bestie & Love you Blog Hop. You should have arrived here from the talented Emma Williams.

For today’s hop, I have 2 very EASY cards that you must make when you get your newest products. I am keeping it simple by stenciling, then either spraying or splattering paint on to the card bases. This is a quick way to make the same card with one stencil and it they work up very fast.

For my first card, I selected a kraft colored cardstock, stenciled the gorgeous Peony Bouquet stencil and then stamped the fun Like You Words in dark brown ink. I finished the whole thing by splattering white paint and adding a few Crystal style embellishments.

For my second card, I used pink cardstock, the same Peony Bouquet stencil. However, I did spritz the card with glitter spray and the sentiments came from the fun CZ Design Element Strips. The whole glitter thing made it look like it’s made out of sugar!
