How to make stenciled letters not look like stencils

I enjoy creative lettering. Using letter stencils is one way to letter consistently. Here I show how to make stenciled letters not look like stencils. The stencil used in this video demo is: StencilGirl Product stencil # L765. Three alphabets are included in this 9x12’ stencil, two Uncial alphabets. The smaller one can also be used as the lowercase letters to the larger Uncial alphabet. Also included is a Celtic block style lettering style similar to those found in Celtic illuminated manuscripts such as the Book of Kells and Lindesfarne Gospels. The letters are designed to fit within the grids/dots of journals such as Moleskine and Leuchtturm journals. Check out coordinating Celtic patterns stencils: L764, s756, m284.

 Make a fancy house village with people on a journal page

The first video introduces a stencil with a hinge that can be used as a stencil or a mask. In the second video, I walk through the process of stenciling a village with houses and people. It is done in an art journal but can be applied to numerous surfaces. The slide show shows a number of ways to creatively use stencils.

The Fancy Houses Mixie stencil / mask by Valerie Sjodin comes with endless possibilities. Use it as a mask and/or stencil - you can tape off portions to make building blocks of new unique houses. The small houses fit ATCs (Artist Trading Cards) and the larger fit within a 5x7” card. Mix and match with Figure stencils (Couples, Praising, and Small) to add a human touch.
