Creative ways to USE YOUR STENCILS!!!

I have a serious collection of stencils. For real, I show you all of them in the video (embarrassing how many I have accumulated). Let's see how we can find different ways to use them aside from blending ink thru them, shall we?

My fav is printing while cleaning the stencil. 😄 Way to go! I love green and salvage techniques!

[@stamperssecret5379]

Hello, Miss Laurel. I just get a kick out of your clever sense of humor. We’d get along very well. I think I’m funny, but I know I would be the one doing all the laughing.

[@lindajeffrey9646]

While you were working I was thinking, "oh man. . . I don't know about this". But I have to tell you, I can't pick a favorite. Tomorrow I will speed through my chore list and get my stencils out and see what I can do. I really like your videos. . . I'm inspired!

[@lourdesdelgado6421]

I must say: Great video: content, editing, no music and most importantly: right to the point ! Thanks for sharing

[@janetingacollins6409]

I like the grungy yea and the peeking cats and dogs- cute!

[@cindyrogers9099]

My fav was the one where you embossed with the wild blue and then put the flower image on top very pretty very nice very very!

[@angb1923]

Love the dirty rag stencil! Love all these cards. Thank you for video!

[@stamperssecret5379]

I love it. Your cards are so edgy. Unlike anyone else.

[@crochetessentialsbylisa]

I found you about a week or so ago and OMG!!!! You are in a good mood, you have ENERGY, you have FABULOUS IDEAS and I'M SO HAPPY I FOUND YOU!! Kind of new again at this and WOW!!!! THANK YOU FOR SHARING!!!

[@LaurelBeard]

Wow, thank you!

[@laurabush9812]

Your videos are always fun! And, I mean this in the kindest possible way, but thank you for not having impossibly gorgeous fingernails. 😘

[@LaurelBeard]

ha, my nails are boring. I never paint them, I try and cut them short but they all aren't the same length. Oh well!

[@judejude8746]

A lot of those fingernails that people are wearing out there look absolutely ridiculous and they're actually a lot of them creepy looking. When you have to ask for assistance at the grocery store at the self-service and they come over they can't even tap in the information because they have three inch nails and have to do it all sideways and it is so absolutely ridiculous. So impractical. And OMG not to mention nurses aides and home care workers with these big long nails! What the H? I mean there's nothing wrong with nail polish and longish nails. They can actually look pretty and not hinder you being able to function normally but so much of what you see out there is just beyond ridiculous.

[@karicoleman3548]

You are so delightful! I have a grimy little handprint on my wall from years ago when my granddaughter came zooming in from outside. I’ve never cleaned it off. No one can really see it is there. But she and I know, and she checks for it whenever she visits.

[@LaurelBeard]

I love this!

[@mangobaby2]

Looks like I’m the only one who didn’t think this was actually very super. I see only one that I liked, but except for this one, I love all of your videos

[@shirleygharagozloo3431]

Your enthusiasm is contagious! Thank you. 😊

[@stephaniewalter4673]

Great ideas - Thanks for sharing- Love the "KISS" one

[@paulienvandenbosch3857]

Loved the point out, multiple ways of using stencils. Your cards came out awesome!

[@taisiakat]

I love this. I was just doing a stencil technique last night and voila - here' your youtube on it. I really like the heart one the best.

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

She is real 🥰 thank you Laurel 😀

[@LaurelBeard]

Thanks!

[@ginaneely1147]

I learned that I need to relax enjoy the results and don't be so uptight!

[@doloressicenavage5960]

I love your videos. I watch them for the great tips but also for your humor! Thanks.

[@sabner32017]

Quick and straight to the point, not drawn out. Love it!

[@dianeoneil9563]

My fav was the dirty rag clean up print!

[@joyceesposito6264]

Love your down and dirty videos. A straightforward approach I appreciate.

[@ruthluther9577]

The cleaning the ink off calls me. All of them were great

[@Dotalina33]

You make it look so easy! I really like these cards with all their mish mash funkiness.

[@PamG012]

I love that you basically used only 2 stencils, embossing & ink and bada bing bada boom you came up with all these cute card bases! Then you showed us the great cards you made with them! Thank you

[@dianestedman3828]

THANK YOU for showing us right away how you use the card!!!!!

[@denisejames855]

I've just begun to use stencils so really appreciate these creative ideas. Thank you

[@ezremote]

Thanks for the chuckles along with the techniques. I’m surprised, I like each completed card; sometimes we try to hard and complicate card making. These show simple, fun, affordable, though at times yes messy, can make the best cards. Thanks bringing fun and affordable together.

[@LaurelBeard]

You are so welcome!

[@jackieburgio5834]

I LOVE watching you! You are so real and no nonsense. A total pleasure to watch; thank you for sharing with all of us.

[@LaurelBeard]

Thank you so much!

[@roxanneklinger3828]

I am so surprised that you were able to get so many different cards from these stencils. Great work, nice cards.

[@sabrinaandbenji1390]

I love the thumbnail picture for this video of your face behind all the stencils hehehe its cute

[@barbaramcmillan9243]

I don't have many stencils and not enough that are similar to the ones you have used. Very interesting how you get three prints from one stencil 'session'. I would never have thought to clean my stencil over cardstock to get the third print. TFS

[@cindymccabe6000]

You are so much fun to watch! Always love your videos. Thank you for sharing. ❤️

[@AmandaTrought]

Some great examples for using your stencils, thanks for sharing 👍🏾😀

[@clearwater7000]

Amaaaaaazing collection!💓🌞😊

[@charlottesilber1687]

Beautiful cards 🥰 I love your techniques, your color choices and your card designs ❤ thanks for sharing your creativity Hugs xx

[@michelegourd5742]

[@monakel1]

Subscribed.You are fun and have great tutorials for a lot of stuff I have and rarely use.I think a lot of us are in the same boat. We buy a bunch of the stuff and then there it sits.

[@LaurelBeard]

Thanks so much!!!

[@Cyrilmc222004]

Thank you so much Laura, I really really enjoyed watching you make those amazing backgrounds from your stencils. Gives me some ideas 💡 too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags

[@jesseb5112]

I LOVE stencils. I bought stencil plastic and need to make them on my scan n cut

[@darrellfurgison9421]

Love it laurel. Winona

[@debbierichards1403]

I love the grungy style but have trouble making cards this way. I’m going to try these techniques to get that look. I especially like the second ink prints. Your videos are very helpful & practical & I love your commentary. You’re one of my favorite crafters to watch. Thanks!

[@sherrytyson4321]

You are always so fun! Great cards!!

[@edith2535]

You are a very clever wee mouse Laurel!

[@laurielarson1196]

Sweet!

[@jamjns]

Grungy is my fave‼️😍

[@barbaraarmstrong4295]

Loved them all ! Happy New Year!

[@meemsnovak2657]

I have so much fun watching you, and your amazing card ideas!

[@mandygirtz6671]

[@debbiel890]

[@sharynackerley2611]

Thanks Laurel ⚘ They all turned out fantastic, my favourite one is the upside down pets too. 💕

[@euvid1]

Thank you so much. Needed this

[@red71955]

You’re just the freakin best…

[@pamenglish692]

I need to take all my word dies and cut them out and start me a magic mug. And another one for dies.

[@renshaw5darlene1519]

Your ideas are great.thank you

[@christieoertel1589]

Always love your twofa prints!! Great ideas Laurel thx and have a great day

[@mariangeles76]

I also have tons of unused stencils 🤦🏻‍♀️ TFS your tips ☺️

[@brandiefiebing363]

I love these ideas! I don’t have ink though 😞 can you make a video using paint?

[@743linda]

Great tips and great cards! I love my stencils! Thanks❤️

[@bonnerdebbie]

Super ideas, thank you.

[@barbarahill6365]

I noticed in some of your videos you use a die pick to hold your die cuts, whatever I think with foam tape behind. It got me thinking, I don’t think I have seen a video on how to use and care for your tools. Most are what anyone would think, but I bet you have tips most of us don’t know. Just a thought.

[@LaurelBeard]

Hmm. I am not sue what gadget you are talking about. The "plate" i use to hold my die cuts is part of my cutting plates that I use with my die cutting machine. If you can give me more information on what you are talking about, I will try and help!

[@barbarahill6365]

@@LaurelBeard You use a Tim Holtz die pick I think stuck into the foam square between your sentiment strip to place it on your card. Sideways! You do it in many of your videos. Everyone else uses a pick to take off the release paper, or knock out stuff from their cut paper from die cutting.It seems like a very effective way to hold it so you can get the best placement. I’ve never seen anyone else do it. Generally they use reverse tweezers. Spellbinders tool with the roller thing on it and the sharp pick at the other end, I had no idea how sharp that tip would be! Advice on not killing yourself on it! The right way to use a craft knife. Scissors, different sizes and why you use one over another. Yes, I do know! It is as in cooking, a filet knife vs. a chef knife etc. Spray adhesives, pixie spray, glue, 2 way glue why you ( and everyone who adhere’s paper should use Bearly Arts, or Gina K over PVG, or kids school glue. Yes, I know some of this is very basic. Have you ever watched Jacque Pepin? He is entirely different chef because he teaches technique. He shows you how to crack an egg on the table, not the rim of a bowl. That way you don’t end up with tiny pieces of shell. Then how to separate the egg, you use your hand, not the shell of the egg. These are just ideas that I have never seen anyone compile a video like this. Okay, I’ve rambled on, and maybe made more of a mess explaining. Oh, and Tim holtz was explaining how the pick that retracts is different from. The pick that has the cap on it because one is case hardened steel, the purpose of the 2 are different. I’ve seen too many videos! 😂

[@bjuracek21]

Love this! I'm like you, I love using every bit of ink to create interesting backgrounds! Great video Lauren!

[@nathaliet.3985]

Great techniques!! Thanks so much for sharing ♡♡♡

[@Ninjamom4]

❤️❤️❤️

[@franciscaraffo9703]

Very good tips!! Thanks!!

[@annslatruo822]

Bonjour, j'aime beaucoup vos astuces pour se servir simplement des pochoirs. Comme je ne comprends pas l'anglais parlé, j'aime avoir des sous-titres même en anglais, mais là vos sous-titres sont en japonais ???

[@LaurelBeard]

Je pense que vous pouvez changer la langue des sous-titres sur votre bouton de sous-titres. J'ai vérifié le français pour être sûr que c'est une option et il dit que c'est

[@alisonbamford6723]

Another great video Laurel! I’ve trawled back through at least 3 years of your videos & I can see anything that shows how you make the words & sentiments you put on your cards. Are they all die cut? Are some done on a Cricut? Printed? Hand drawn?

[@LaurelBeard]

Sentiments are usually stamped and then die cut and then I put them all in a mug "I call it my magic mug" and pull from the mug when assembling cards!

[@christisteger1242]

Great ideas

[@michelesalazar3397]

Please tell where I can get the “You don’t look a day over whatever age you’re pretending to be right now” stamp!! Thank you!!,

[@paulineandow3725]

Great video thank you.

[@VeronicaRonniDorval2638]

Love it!

[@Taitcreates639]

Happy New Year Laurel, more techniques, love it! Need to use my stencils a lot more. Tfs

[@sarahdermody6665]

You can send me some stencils if you like 😆😂 although I've just begun with my stencilling, i believe you can't have too many 👍
