Er-Ma-Gerd! Check out all this stencily goodness! Srsly. Just get the bundle with aalllllll of the stencils! LOL! …. 😉
thanks two ways
You will quickly see a theme in my projects today! I used the new-er Autumn Festival Watercolor Brush Markers for all of the designs, which means that I had to add some temporary adhesive spray to the backs of all the stencils so I could keep the lines as best as possible. You’ll definitely want to stop in on my YouTube Release Day Live today to see the adhesive option I created. It’s non-aerosol and no-odor!
This first duo features Mega Thanks, both in the Mega Thanks die and the “OG” Mega Greetings stamp set. I paired them with the Mighty Corners stencil to create this retro positive and negative look!

hello two ways
Well, if you didn’t see it to begin with, you’ll get the theme now. I just couldn’t stop with this retro color scheme, and creating two projects from one stencil. I love showcasing this versatility where you use the leftover ink on a stencil to create a negative image for an additional project!
I stuck with the original Mega Greetings stamp set, this time, using the “hello” and the corresponding Mega Hello die. This duo features the Leaf Drops Stencil.
friend two ways! (surprise! LOL!)
Too obvious? Well, why walk away from a good thing? The Modern Circles stencil is just too fun! It’s one of those that you can flip in multiple directions to get different looks. So, I flipped it once and just outlined some of the semi-circles with a journaling pen.
This time, the sentiment came from Mega Greetings 3 and the Mega Friend die.
Of the three pairs, which is your favorite? Leave a comment to let me know!
