Hi friends! Happy Wednesday! Please join me in welcoming special monthly Guest *CZ herself*, Cathy Zielske in the latest of our EZ with CZ blog series! Be sure to watch the video to learn all the details on this pretty card and enjoy!

Today I’m sharing an easy way to have fun with your stenciled backgrounds by cutting them into strips for your cards! Any patterned stencil will work for this, and I happen to have a handy strip cutting die called, appropriately, Stripped.

In my tutorial today, I’ll create a simple rainbow blended background using the SSS Chunky Knit stencil and then cut it apart to create the final design. Here is the video:

If you have lots of stencils sitting around, give this design idea a try today!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I will see you back here next month.
