Stencil Surprises If you have been crafting for a while, you have probably tried stenciling. It is said that, at times, "something old is new again". This class will incorporate "old" and new stenciling techniques and materials. We will make cards using basic and new layering techniques, as well. We will also make our own individual stencil to take home! Join us for a fun and innovative class using stencils. I am looking forward to getting together soon.
