Hello and welcome back, everyone! Today, we have a small, bite-sized stencil and stamp release to celebrate this spring season. We have two new layering stencils and one stamp set to show you today and everything is available to ship immediately. Grab a cup of coffee and enjoy the gallery of eye candy by our design team!

First up is our newest envelope art stamp, Cosmos Mail.

Our newest envelope art stamp features beautiful large cosmos florals! Decorate your new outgoing pretty mail! This stamp can be used on A2 envelopes.

Created by Vera with our new Cosmos Mail stamp.

Next up is our Gentle Peonies layering stencils. This is a six layer stencil collection. When completely blended, the result is a beautiful 6×6 inch peony print.

Next up is our new large layering Blended Peonies stencils! This is a 9×12 inch 6 stencil layering collection with numbers etched on the corners to help guide you through the layering process. There are two layers for the foliage and four layers for the peony design. Once you layer all six stencils onto an 8.5 x 11 inch piece of cardstock, the result is a beautiful blended page that you can cut in half on each side to create four ready-to-make A2 cards.

Coordinating dies are available separately. There are four dies in this die collection that will cut out all of the clusters for our Blended Peonies.

Instructions: You’ll need 4 colors for your peony layers and two colors for your foliage layers. As you progress to the next stencil, please use a darker ink color. 

Position your stencils to ensure the numbers are read upright. If the numbers or upside down or sideways, rotate the stencil until the numbers are upright. 

For stencils #1 to #4, blend these stencils onto your 8.5x11in cardstock with your lightest, mid, semi dark and dark colors for your peony petals. 

**For stencil #4, do NOT ink the top left quadrant of the stencil with your darkest floral hue. This quadrant contains the images to blend in the centers of your peony images.  

Next, blend the last two stencil layers which are foliage layers. You will use the lighter shade first. Then you will blend a darker shade for the last stencil.
