Hey cardmaking friends – hope you’re having a wonderful day!

Today, I’m sharing a brand new video featuring a fun technique:  stenciling over embossing.  And I’m extra excited about this one because Altenew recently invited me to join their Ambassador program – of course, I said yes!  This is my very first post as part of that collaboration.

For this project, I chose the Joyful Garden Stencil and Embossing Folder Set, and I couldn’t be happier with the results.  I’ve tried several stencil-and-folder combinations from different companies before, and they don’t always line up the way you hope.  But Altenew has absolutely mastered the alignment with this set – the stencil layers fit perfectly over the embossed design, making the process smooth and stress-free.

Let’s jump in, and I’ll walk you through exactly how I created these Stencil OVER Embossing cards!
