Marianne Design • Craft stencil by Marleen Beer mug

With these craft stencils from Marianne Design, you can easily create depth in your project. The stencils come in all sorts of shapes and make it easy to work in layers. For example, you can make a double card in the shape of an apple, a present, a book, a pumpkin or an autumn leaf. Complete it with some pretty accessories. That way, you've got a beautiful greeting card.

You can use the stencil as a basis or as part of a craft project. Place a piece of cardstock on the table. Draw with a pencil along the lines of the stencil and cut out the figures. In this way, you can build up your card layer by layer. Use different colours of (designer) paper for a beautiful result. The stencils are reusable and easy to clean with a baby wipe or soap and water.
