Stencils

What are stencils?

Stencils are reusable templates that allow you to apply patterns, shapes, or images with paint, ink, or other mediums. By brushing, sponging, or spraying colour over the stencil, the design transfers neatly onto your chosen surface. Stencils are a simple way to add detail and decoration to cards, journals, canvases, and many other creative projects.

Different types of stencils

At Vaessen Creative, stencils are part of the painting supplies collection. Mask stencils are used to cover specific areas while painting, allowing you to add backgrounds or layered effects without colouring everything. Layered stencils offer multiple parts of a design, which can be built up step by step to create detailed, multi-coloured images. Stamp and stencil sets combine two techniques in one, giving you even more creative options for your projects. Finally, stencils in general are available in many shapes, themes, and sizes, from simple patterns to detailed motifs. With so many options, you can easily adapt stencils to your style.

Creative hobbies & projects with stencils

Stencils are perfect for a wide range of hobbies. In card making, they are ideal for adding backgrounds, textures, or repeated motifs to handmade cards. In Halloween crafting, stencils can be used to create spooky designs such as bats, pumpkins, or spiderwebs on paper or fabric. Another inspiring idea is spring crafting, where layered stencils can be used to paint colourful flowers, butterflies, or seasonal patterns. With stencils, you can quickly achieve detailed and consistent results.

Why choose stencils for your projects?

The main advantage of stencils is that they allow you to create professional-looking designs with minimal effort. They are reusable, versatile, and easy to combine with different mediums such as paint, ink, sprays, or texture paste. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced crafter, stencils give you the ability to add detail and creativity to your projects without complicated techniques.
