I brought my PTI In The Meadow stencil set for all of us to play with...it's definitely a fun one! My card I actually showed on IG, so some of you may have already seen this one, but for those who don't use IG or follow me there, here's what I came up with using this stencil set...
I used pinks & corals (PFS) to stencil my flowers and also made a separate flower that I fussy cut to add over top of the background.
I added a strip of Sweet Blush dsp for a landing space for my extra flower and also the sentiment which was embossed on vellum. A few pink PFS gems finished off this card.
We also stenciled pumpkins (Fall is coming!!) using Michele's set from The Ton called Ella Pumpkins and I put mine in a crate that Bobby brought from HB's Wooden Crate dies. I used a peachy gingham dsp from an old MFT pad that matched my pumpkins fairly well for my background and then added a sentiment from IO (C14668) and some glitter drops (PFS) and twine to finish off my card.
My last card was also stenciled using a set from Bobby called Elegant Rose (SSS). It was perfect for a sympathy card and hopefully I won't have to use it for awhile so I can just admire it! The sentiment is from PTI's Think Big Favorites: #3 stamp set and I also added a few clear water drop gems to finish off this card.
We had such a great time catching up and of course playing too! I still have a few other cards I'm working on using dies from both Bobby & Michele that I'll save for a later date...it's so much fun to share all our goodies and get to play with items we don't have in our stash! You can check out Michele's post HERE and Bobby's post HERE to see their versions of these stenciled cards. Thanks again Michele and Bobby for sharing your goodies and friendship...it's always such a blast to get together with stamping friends and sure makes me feel blessed! And an extra thanks to Michele for hosting and providing such a wonderful lunch!!
Thanks for stopping by today ... I love it when you do!

Your meadow of pink flowers is beautiful, Marcia! You have inspired me to get out my set and see if I can make something as beautiful! Bobby's crate worked beautifully with your pumpkins and the gingham paper makes a perfect background! And that rose! Oh, my! Your colors add such wonderful detail to the petals! A beautiful sympathy card that I hope you don't need to use for a very long time!
Marcia, you finished off your beautifully stenciled pieces so perfectly! Such a clever touch adding that one single fussy-cut bloom!
Your gingham was such a fun addition to your crated orange pumpkins and the twine -well it just adds the right country touch!
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet - but your pinks are the sweetest, my friend!
It was so fun getting 'the band' back together!
Off I go to see Bobby's creations... xx

Wish I could have been there too, a mini 12 Kits reunion! So glad you gals were able to have that time together. You have some marvelous makes from your adventure too! Love the pretty colors on your first card, that sweet gingham you added to those wonderful plump pumpkins and that lovely sympathy card. I hope you get to admire that one along time!
Glad you crafty ladies got to spend time together and I know you had fun. Your stenciled meadow is lovely with that extra bloom. The pumpkins look great with that crate and pretty pink gingham paper. Your stenciled rose is so soft and so pretty. Thanks for sharing all your lovely cards. Have a great weekend.
Wait...I was thinking Bobby was on the 12 kits team... maybe not! Still would love to have been there LOL!!
Wow, all the cards are gorgeous, what fun you all had, I love all these new stencils, find them quite addicting, I have to look to see if I have the Rose one, sad I have so much I'm not sure isn't it LOL??
What a special time you had with Michele & Bobby. Your cards area fantastic Marcia, I especially love the In the Meadow and Elegant Rose. You know me and pink! :) xx
BEAUTIFUL cards from such a fun, wonderful and blessed event! What a great time for all of you and I love that you can all get together
It was so great to see you again, Marcia, and to share such a fun time. It's also fun to see how the stenciling we did at the time turned into some fabulous cards. The fussy cut flower add fun detail to your meadow card, and I'm glad the crate came in handy for your pumpkins. That gingham background is delightful as is the sentiment. You had the perfect pinks for that rose and I agree it makes a wonderful sympathy card. I think I have that sentiment in my studio and will have to make more rose cards to put it on. Until next year!
WOW! You ladies sure shared some AMAZING creations with us! How fun that you could all get together and share your products. And, what fun to see how different the same stamp or stencil can look one crafter to another! They are all just beautiful and very inspiring! I love getting together with other crafters ... wish I weren't so far away!!
As usual I bet it was a fun time all around. It was nice to take a peek at your get together. YOur first card is a stunner, and top 5 fav of mine of your cards. Those are the absolute perfect colors. Your pumpkin are so inviting and that rose stenciled card is lovely as a sympathy card. I hope it remains in your stash for admiration a very long time.
What a fun time together with friends! All three of your cards are lovely and I'm especially loving the colors you've used. The first card is just as sweet as can be with the strip of gingham and fussy cut flower. What a pretty stencil set! I adore the pumpkins in the crate from Bobbi. That is just the perfect placement for them, and again, I'm loving the soft gingham. Your rose card is beautiful and I do hope it stays in your stash for a long time.
Well, I'm sure glad you shared your card here as I hardly look at IG anymore due to lack of time. Your stenciled meadow flowers are so pretty and the black makes them pop all the more! Ohhh, those pumpkins in the crate on gingham -- totally love it! And finally, the gorgeous rose looking so delicate and perfect for a sympathy card. What a great day with friends!
What lovely creations made at your fun gathering - what a great way to spend the day with crafty friends!
This is a gorgeous stencil, and all of you have done wonders with it. What a beautiful sympathy card. I just love it.
And I neglected to comment on the other beauties in your post. What fun you must have had visiting and creating together. I nt meadow is one gorgeous set. I love the way you cut out and raised the flower on the stenciled panel. The pumpkins are fabulous. Love the crate and gingham is always fitting with pumpkins, and so many other things.
