Today's challenge is to create a couple of birthday cards using a stencil. If you don't have a stencil, you can make one by using your die cut machine or punches.

For my cards, I used a Gina K stencil and an old sentiment stamp from Papertrey Ink. Since I already had the inks out, I decided to make a few cards. I had seen Gina K make this particular card in one of her 5 minute card videos. I loved it so much, I ordered the stencil.

Here are a couple of cards I made last year where I used a circle punch for a stencil.
