12 Pieces Drawing Loose Leaf Stencils Scale Template Sets Journal Diary Notebook 8-Ring Paper Inserts for Card Painting Projects and Scrapbooking DIY Craft Albums (Style 1)

These are the perfect size for Dylusions pocket journals. I love the variety of stencils and background combinations.

I am pleased with these stencils but they are a little small in size. However they were a gift and I use them a lot. Just have to go slow and careful not to bend or cut the stencil. They are a lot on the thin side.

Lots of nice designs, great idea for storage options, but the execution leaves a bit to be desired.While most has a majority of the bits popped out, ALL 12 sheets had at least a piece or two still attached. If you don’t have small kids, it probably won’t be a big problem. However, two sheets were so attached I needed an exacto knife to cut it apart (see the Japanese pagoda? Yeah, had to cut out the tiny roof peak). And a LOT of the pieces are pointy, so make sure you separate them over a paper towel or something to catch them. They are the dickens to get up without stabbing into fingers or under your nails.Second fail: either the maker’s machine can’t handle the details or they need to clean and calibrate it. Many melt strings, especially on the tiny cuts and small details. I uploaded a bunch of pictures of both issues.All that cleaned up, I am looking forward to playing with them. I’m lining up my gelli plate and daubers now.

I like the versatility of these and that they come with holes punched on the side to easy keep organized and in a notebook.

These stencils would be OK if they were cut right--i.e. have the positive design cut out to show in positive form once painted, rather than ending up with paint in the negative spaces only. I don't understand why they were cut in this way--wrong setting on the laser cutting machine? I should have paid more attention when I checked the images on Amazon... Out of 10 stencils, about 3 are cut right, but the designs are more suitable for young children than for advanced craftspeople; the others are cut the wrong way. The stencils can be used in that way for some projects, but that substantially limits their usefulness, also because all that negative space translates into large cut out areas that are trickier to fill, especially considering that the plastic is not very stiff, therefore does not adhere perfectly to the painting surface. I often use stencils to create 3-dimensional surfaces with modeling paste--large empty spaces are difficult to fill without smearing or messing up in some way, even with paint, but especially with paste. In addition, what should be the "main show" in the stencils turns out to be sort of lost in all that negative space. I give the designers of the stencils a D minus at best. I am keeping them for occasional creative projects, but they won't get out of the sleeves very often. Not a clever buy. Not recommended.

I’m using these to add special touches to my junk journal pages as I make them. Work great.

Great to use when painting on large canvases for which you want to do unusual backgrounds. Using them as background for portraits of people I'm painting on large canvases.

Very nice stencils. I just love them. Much variety. Good value for the dollar. Sturdy. I definitely recommend them. I would certainly buy them again.
