8 Stencils That Will Rock Your World

[@melissasilvestre4120]

Thank you, Justine. I think I am slowly finding my style for card marking. Much of that has come from watching your videos and listening to what you’ve said. Over the past few days I’ve had several ‘a-ha’ moments that have helped me figure out what pieces of card making I enjoy - and which ones I don’t. Lovely cards. Thank you for the inspiration and for sharing your time and talent.

[@justinehovey]

That's awesome :) It feels so good knowing that what we buy, we will use. It comes with time and practice.

[@BarryOnness]

Very clever use of stencils, which inspired me to remember to use mine!

[@greystreak1]

Thank you for a great demo video of really unique stencils from companies I love to support . They provide us with quality products to create the best art and a community where we can learn , encourage each other and grow as artists . It supports so many other good people with income I am more than willing to pay for the good stuff , even if I have to wait . Good job 👏 Those Alt e New stencils were amazing ( as usual ) . Netflix sentiment hysterical 🤣 Baby cards stump me too ( never would have though Visible Image was the go to for that one .) Heffy is always smuggling the cute stuff ( I think Lesley O. and Kelly A . are twins in another life ) .

[@terriconrad4612]

Great job! And so sorry about the rant you had to deal with! Just keep creating and doing what you do! There’s enough drama in our world, crafting should be our distraction....not added stress. 🤦‍♀️. Proud of how you handled it! 🙋‍♀️💕

[@justinehovey]

Thanks Terri

[@09mclemens]

Great tutorial. Love seeing all of the different possibilities.

[@tracystern5780]

Great video. These stencils are great. The video was so well done I didn’t feel it was a long video. I am now a new subscriber. Thanks Justine.

[@justinehovey]

Thanks for subscribing :) welcome! I have tons of videos to check out :)

[@hbyrd8465]

thank you soooo much! I had a hard time figureing out some layering stencil :)

[@spiderals1]

next time you do the waves, spray your drops on between your flat background color layer and the waves layer. that way you can have the water droplets that look so nice with ocean background and won't lose your wave's definition since you haven't applied water on that last layer. it works for me.

[@justinehovey]

Thanks for the tip!

[@cindym9851]

Awesome cards,! Timeless ❤

[@kathygnj9746]

Loved this video Justine! Found a few stencils I definitely want to pick up. I really appreciate your showing how to use the turnaround stencils. I wasn't quite sure about them. Thank you.

[@CraftingMyWorld]

Wow, what a great video! So inspiring! After I have made a background, I sometimes have trouble turning it into a card because I don't want to cover up the background too much and then I get stuck & frustrated. Love your ideas and honestly, don't apologise for a longer video - it would never stop me from watching you :-) Thank you so much!

[@justinehovey]

Thanks so much :)

[@SUESTAMPS]

You did a great job on this video. Love all your cards and the stencils you used.

[@barblibrarian]

Loved this. So few stencil videos and you did a super job. I have several of the stencils you showed, so am itching to get going!

[@MultiplicityCrafts]

So unique and pretty... when you revealed that first card, it was breath-taking!! Great work, Justine! Hugs, ♥Maranda

[@martharoberts2167]

I don’t have many stencils b/c they intimidate me😏. I really enjoyed watching you create so many pretty and fun cards with stencils. Thank you for the video..

[@patricaromboletti8658]

Thank you! So many great ideas---and the length was just fine! The dahlia was my favorite.

[@janicem8956]

Catching this video 2 years after you made it. If the stencil making the X style design is still available I’m going to get it. 😀 I have seen your promotions for the virtual craft crop now in 2021 and seriously considering it. Please keep sharing your amazing talents! I filled out your questionnaire on what viewers of your content are looking for! 😊

[@cives2008]

I love to see stencils in action! As Martha mentions below, stencils intimidate me. :P Great job!!

[@justinehovey]

Stencils are great! So inexpensive and reusable. Tons of different techniques can be done! Ink, pastes, mousse...

[@teresaselby3536]

Love your cards! Quick and easy, to make quickly. You did an awesome job on them. Thanks for sharing and have a great week.

[@bronwyn117]

Love your video, Justine! Thanks for highlighting some amazing, unique stencils!

[@gwensimmons_gigi1629]

OMG! Loved the stencils, sentiments, and of course your cards! TFS!🤩😘👍🏾

[@ruththomas3853]

I love all of these cards! I think I "must" have the Altenew Dahlia one, and "maybe" the scalloped (?) one. And that's not to say that I didn't love the other ones. I just want to know one thing: if people are so offended by the money that they think certain people are making, why is it okay for them to watch videos of those very products to get ideas? Isn't that hypocritical? I liked your answers, Justine, and your cards are just lovely!

[@pamschonfarber1041]

This showed me ways to use stencils I never would have thought of tyfs

[@justinehovey]

This is one of my favourite videos :)

[@janicehilton8884]

Gorgeous; as always. I love..love that baby stencil! Thanks for sharing especially how to tape down stencils: always a challenge. :-)

[@shellyp8731]

Never worry about the length...great stencils! Love the dahlia! And all the mft scene builder stencils are amazing!

[@brendastrachan1843]

Brilliant securing of stencil idea

[@ptlboodeb1]

This video was not long enough. I loved it all!

[@carollyngillespie3860]

The whale in the 'supposed' to be waves, looks better, anyway. It looks more like they are in the water instead of riding the waves. Good job.

[@traceydietrich7376]

Thank you for sharing these awesome stencils and for providing such great inspiration! I will be playing with stencils today😉

[@bonnerdebbie]

Wonderful cards!

[@shakinah29]

Great video! You inspired me to pull out stencils I had forgotten about! Xox

[@andrewandberthapilgrim999]

Thanks for those great examples!

[@rhondamancini1471]

Thanks for sharing wonderful ideas. If anyone wants to complain, go buy cheap products and watch what ideas they give for free. On limited income but as a business person I understand stealing original ideas then sell for less. This is so easy, if not happy, look elsewhere and smile!!!

[@slyseyes]

I just happened across your videos, but I love your use of these stencils. It inspires me to use more of my own. Beautiful job with them.

[@conniewoldstad9942]

Welcome back. I have missed you. Keep up the good work. Love all the samples

[@pschmitzer6515]

Thanks Justine, I enjoy your unique experience and cards.

[@pattidalzell3219]

I’m a little nervous to use my stencils so I’m eager to learn more about it.

[@smilesheenaful]

i am really chuffed i found this video i love the waves background, i have now subscribed many thanks from bonnie Scotland

[@justinehovey]

I used to live in Edinburgh. I want to go back!

[@smilesheenaful]

i live just down the road from Edinburgh in Peebles in the Scottish borders

[@coolstamper]

LOVE these cards!!! Not too long for me...would like to see more cards done with stencils!!! 💕

[@justinehovey]

Thanks for the feedback. I have quite a few on my channel if you haven’t seen them, check them out :)

[@coolstamper]

[@timh7246]

I'm fairly new to card making & it's easy to be overwhelmed -- SSOOO many options, materials, techniques. I have learned there are some very capable folks who, when you see they've posted a new video, they are ALWAYS worth viewing cuz: consistently clear, detailed yet concise, well documented, inspiring & helpful -- you are DEFINITELY among them!! TSMFS!! (thks so much for sharing)

[@justinehovey]

It can be insanely overwhelming as a beginner. My best advice is invest in the supplies for one technique and really master it before moving on. That way you know everything about it and can remember what those supplies are capable of.

[@trevanji]

I'm not sure what difference the glass mat would make? You are after all working on top of a stencil which is not moving. I have not done this technique, so could you elaborate, please :-).

[@justinehovey]

I find when I work my way from the glass onto the stencil or paper, it’s a smoother motion.

[@Mamaward64]

Do you only blend with distress oxide?

[@betcooper582]

Some things you can do. Watch the videos for inspiration. Buy only the items you feel very confident about using more than a few times. Watch for and shop when you see a sale or a coupon either online with the crafting companies or the brick and mortar stores. Know that brand names are always better than copies or unfamiliar items. Understand that the crafting online companies will stand behind their products and either replace or make good any problem. Be aware the online demonstrators share valuable time for you to learn. If they are able to make a little money out of your time watching their videos then good for them. Many of them that have no idea who I am have become a computer friend to me and I look forward to seeing what they have to say and make. Also, think about the number of people that are employed by large companies so they can support their families. Can call it capitalism if you want but it is necessary. But I do fully support smaller companies that try and work very hard to make their way in the world. Would like to add...the rant so to speak on this thread was the first time in 2 years I have seen such a thing and agree with the person below the comment that stated "entirely in appropriate "rants" for this video.

[@justinehovey]

I appreciate your comment :) thanks so much for sharing your reasoning in a calm and respectful way. Hugs!

[@vlawton100]

wow fun stencils I will have to invest in a few.

[@maggiebaxter610]

Great card examples showcasing these fabulous stencils Justine. I have & love some of these and others have just been added to my “need” list. Thanks so much for sharing and I hope you have a wonderful weekend. ~Hugs~ #kindnessmatters

[@puddytatpurr]

Awesome - I'm just getting into stencils, die cuts and stamping. Do you have to use a heat gun on the embossing powder?

[@justinehovey]

Yes, or else it will wipe off

[@puddytatpurr]

Justine Hovey oh dear....more stuff to add to the wish list 😂

[@pattiepan]

great Job Justine all look great

[@TheRindyrae]

Hi new subscriber . I have made about a handful of cards, nothing particular but am now interested in learning new medians to use. What is the object called that you place your stamp under? I love everything you made and will be watching more of your videos. By the way I am a colorist and love coloring ad have so many medians to use which some I can incorporate in my cards.

[@justinehovey]

Welcome :) I stamp with a Misti stamp positioner

[@TheRindyrae]

@@justinehovey TY, going to look into buying one. I just watched another video last night of yours that you showed supplies for beginners. It was a good video.

[@suklinkner8684]

Love them all, great video!

[@bean2sara]

New subbie :)) love your techniques and your cards. 😊 tfs

[@beverlystotz5652]

New subbie. I love what you did with these stencils! Hopefully all your videos don't include a massive dose of drama in the comments. I mean we are here to learn and be entertained, no? Buy your stuff wherever you want. I'm all about supporting small businesses and not throwing my money at low quality knock offs!

[@justinehovey]

This is the first one in four years. No worries. I’m very drama free but I have some principles I need to stick up for and unbranded stamps is one of them. Thanks for tuning in! There are plenty of videos to keep you busy!

[@bettyjohnson1365]

Adorable! The stencils and sentiments are amazing and your talents are awesome. Thank you for sharing.

[@esperancacosta2437]

New subbie with this video. Loved all the tips. Does the Gina K wreath builder work on any kind of stamp platform, like the Tim Holtz Stamp Platform? Or is it specifically designed for the MISTI?

[@justinehovey]

I have never used the stamp platform but I assume as long as you have a corner on the platform, it will work just fine

[@cherylcruz6849]

I so love these card ideas

[@SharonPerehudoff60]

Love all your cards, Justine! Awesome. Thank you for sharing and looking forward to another video soon.

Just lovely! Thanks for sharing and stirring my imagination. Hugs and bless!

[@racena2034]

loved the dahlia! did not like the baby one - reminded me of a baby death card.

[@justinehovey]

Thanks for the feedback

[@tracystern5780]

The baby card image reminded me of that too. I don’t know why.

[@christinefoss5767]

I am new to card making and recently found your channel. I love they way you explain things and the products you show has opened up a whole new world in my crafting! I may have to binge watch your channel. Thank you for sharing such beauty!

Thanks so much for watching!

Hi Justine, AWESOME CARDS... The link for the Baby Bloom stencil is not working for me when I tried to use it. Thanks

A long time! I love it too!

[@elizabetheddy1073]

Love this video and all the others! Thank you so much for sharing all of ur talented ideas! Never worry about videos being too long! If people don’t like it, they don’t need to watch them! And as for the negative nasty people...I wouldn’t even give them the time! Some people are miserable no matter what! Again, thank you!! You always inspire me, and hopefully some day I’ll actually make a card?! I’ve been organizing and actually really trying to make my craft room functional and nice to work in!! Love ur videos!! 😊💗❤️

[@justinehovey]

Thanks Elizabeth. Sit down and go make a card!

[@elizabetheddy1073]

Justine Hovey lol! Thank you!! I need to hear that from someone who understands! Lol😊💗🤣

[@anixa00ify]

What paper do you use for blending with alcohol markers?

[@justinehovey]

I use Neenah Classic Crest Solar White usually 80lb if I plan to cut them out and glue them on, if I colour directly on my card base I'll use 100lb

[@wendylittle2385]

Wonderful cards. TFS

Hello bons

[@kathygnj9746]

OMG I just saw the post from AnnOna Moss (guess she/he thinks they're clever with a play on Anonymous). I wouldn't even engage this person. Just delete their post. Haters gonna hate.

[@justinehovey]

I'm not going to delete it, everyone is entitled to their opinion. I just wanted to education about unbranded and the impact it has. Anyway thanks for watching my video :) I was unsure about the turnabout stencils as well but I love them :) I hope they make more!

[@Spicifiy1]

OMG I've never seen such GROSSLY overpriced stencils. And if the prices aren't exorbitant enough, shipping is also ridiculously high especially considering that stencils are hardly heavier than a single piece of cardstock. These companies ought to get a clue that their days may be limited because crafters can get equivalent unbranded craft items for 90% less WITH FREE (& OFTEN FASTER) SHIPPING. That these companies have instructed Google's KZbin to TERMINATE accounts showing unbranded items has only served to alienate crafters even more.

[@justinehovey]

I doubt that. There are many crafters, myself included, that value the design, thought, creativity and proper wages that branded items have associated with them. I prefer to know what I am funding when I buy my craft supplies and I’m sure it doesn’t include harsh working conditions, child labour and exploited populations. Thanks for sharing your opinion though but I take a firm stance against unbranded items.

[@therustyvulture]

Those "unbranded" items are 99% of the time stolen images from the real companies and more often than not are inferior quality. So by buying those you are saying it's totally ok to steal and you may think that it's not hurting anyone but it is. What will you and the other crafters who support the thieves do when the real companies go under and they have no one to steal images, designs, or ideas from?

[@Spicifiy1]

Actually, what crafters are funding with these money-grubbing branded companies is CEOs that make (or USED TO MAKE) upwards of $8M a year PLUS BENEFITS. And they probably manufacture thru the same offshore companies as the unbranded sellers do. Offshore workers are better off now as low-wage slave laborers than they were before Clintonian "globaloney". As a matter of fact, the head of the Craft & Hobby Assn. is an off-shoring China expert. Part of what crafters are also paying for is the free products sent to people lik you & the subsidies you receive from your video links.

[@justinehovey]

First of all I would love to know who is making $8 million because I need to apply for a job there 😂 secondly, every company needs to pay for marketing regardless of how they do it and sending free product to video makers is generally the way they can afford to market their products. After all, I work for FREE. The only money I receive on my channel is when people shop the links, that is true. But the nice thing about that is that I’m not taking the money away from these companies unless I do a good job and people shop and then we are both making money. So I think, in the end, I’m helping the industry far more by making a few dollars here and there than you are by buying unbranded supplies. Thank you for sharing your insight into the industry. We are never going to agree so feel free to continue to watch my free videos so you can support unbranded companies, post your negativity, whatever works for you. This is sure to inspire so many of us creators to continue producing free content.

[@Spicifiy1]

99% of the time the incredibly cheap unbranded dies are equal or superior in quality to the branded dies. I've also had better luck with unbranded stamps than the expensive ones I've bought at the B&M Big Box craft stores or online. I've had more trouble with intricate Spellbinders dies than equally complication unbranded ones. And if the unbranded companies are violating copyrights, the matter should be taken up with those companies not by U.S. companies filing violation accusations with criminal Google about crafters posting haul videos that MIGHT have shown a bootlegged item even though they had no way of knowing it' was a supposed "stolen" design. I consider the price of branded craft items THEFT, the shipping costs for snail-paced delivery outrageous, & the availability of new items pathetic.
