    I love the SSS tumbling leaves so many things can be done with that. Genuis idea to use a bowl scraper as a stencil pal. When I saw you use it. I ran to the baking drawer and pulled one out for my craft desk.

    I have started using stencils more. There’s two that are my favorites. Hefty Doodle Ring of Rosie’s and Simon Says Tumbling leaves. You really get the impression of “tumbling leaves” from the image.

    Love all the ideas, never was a fan of stencils until yesterday when I tried some of GinaK’s glitter glitzy and now I want to use stencils with everything. The fireworks would be amazing with all the glitter glitz. Thank you for inspiring us to try new things.

    I’m very new to cardmaking and your videos continue to teach me so much. Before today I had no idea how to use stencils but now I can begin to incorporate them as an inexpensive option to design. By far I love the Kindred Stamps Country Quilt stencil the most. There is something beautiful in its simplicity and I can picture so many ways to jazz it up.

    I am so very thankful for your posts on “You Tube!” I have learned so very many ways of making cards! I have tried many of them. I love the way you present the projects, not a lot of extra talking. You take us through it then we are empowered to try it ourselves. And to make it ours. As time goes by adding new things to try more. Thank You

    You’ve introduced me to some stencils I hadn’t seen before. I love Gina K’s wreath builders and have all the sizes. My favorite stencil of the ones you showed here is the country quilt but I must confess that I’m intrigued by the Taylored Expressions masking stencils, especially since they can also be used to help me line things up. I have started working more with stencils in part because of their versatility but also because they don’t take up a lot of space. That’s important when you don’t have a lot of storage space.

    Jennifer, it’s easy to see why these are among your favorites. There is a ton of ideas floating around my head on different ways to use stencils. Thanks for the inspiration. It would be difficult to pick a favorite, but top two on my list would be the Falling Leaves and the Layered Fireworks.

    My favorite stencil is the Gina K Mega Wreath Builder Templates stencil. I use it for making special gifts for friends and family. Basically I use Bible verses which honor the Lord, some times I use it to celebrate a wedding. It’s such a wonderful stencil and can be used in ministering to others.

    I think the Taylored Expressions are a must have and purchased those as soon as they came out. Love your suggestion to use them to help center things. Great idea. I’m also a big fan of the Mega Wreath Builder (and all of the other wreath builder products.) My favorite new-to-me stencils you showcased are the Heffy Doodle Ring a Rosies (so pretty) and the Kindred Stamps Country Quilt stencils. Thanks for showcasing all of these wonderful products.
