More from the January release from Sweet Poppy Stencils .......

Good morning! ...... Happy Sunday!

I hope you're having a lovely weekend.

After two days of strong winds battering our little island things are a little calmer out there today, and the sun is shining ..... for now anyway!

There's less than 24 hours to wait before the first brand new release of 2023 from Sweet Poppy Stencils goes live on the website.

If you're a follower of Sweet Poppy on Facebook then you've probably seen the preview of the new stencil designs ..... what do you think?  Do you need them in your stash?  Is it time to make a shopping list?

I've been playing with some of the new designs and they are lovely.  Check out some ideas for using the large word stencils on my last blog post.

Today it's the gorgeous Floral Crescent Moon ....... how pretty is this

A fabulous large stencil, with a pretty floral cluster.  Perfect for square card designs, and gorgeous to use as is but, just think of all the add ons you can use. 

I've stamped one of Lavinia Stamp's cute little hares on the bottom of the moon ....... I love this little guy!

He's looking up, wishing on a star

I used Delicata Golden Glitz ink to colour the crescent moon, and Distress Inks for the flowers.  I also stenciled these a couple of times onto separate pieces of white card, fussy cut them and layered them up to add dimension ..... so pretty!

Even though this is a large stencil you can make smaller cards, and if one layer is your thing then this design is great for that too .......

This is a 7x5 inch card and I've taken the stencil slightly off the edge.  

Simply stenciled with black ink, and I've added a little bit of doodling with a gold gel pen for some extra detail

A few pretty pearls, a stamped sentiment, and some gold ink splatters to finish off

Use just the flowers from the stencil in other ways to ........ 

How about making your own floral embellishments to add to other stencil designs ...... use pretty coloured inks, fussy cut and layer.

Oh look ..... could that be another stencil from the new release in the background!  Don't you just love it when everything works together!

All the stencils from the new release are available on the Sweet Poppy Website from 10am tomorrow.  And, if you fancy more inspiration and ideas for making the most of them, then tune in to Lucy on Create and Craft on Wednesday the 18th January.

Thanks for popping by ...... enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Cheerio until next time ........
