Hey Stencilers! Forget the boring greeting cards you can find at the store and personalize your own notes and letters to your friends and family using Stencil 1 Pattern and Image stencils! Try this cool, trending watercolor effect to add more personality and creativity to your cards.
Things you will need: Stencil1 Diamond Repeat Pattern & Butterfly stencil, blank envelope and card, paintbrushes, paper towels, and a watercolor set. We wanted to use a more readily available watercolor set, so we chose Crayola’s Washable Watercolor set!
Step 1. Place the pattern stencil on the blank card.
Step 2. Using water, load up your brush with your desired color and start painting away!
Painting with watercolor can be a little tricky. Since we are using water to activate the paint, the paint may seep underneath the stencil and bleed out. Try dabbing your paint brush a few times on a paper towel to blot out any extra water. You will find it much easier and cleaner to paint this way! This will come in handy when painting with more detailed stencils.
Step 3. Add more dimension to your card! Let your work dry for several minutes. Grab another stencil and paint over your design. The possibilities are endless.
And there you have it! Step away from the emails and text messages, and try sending your loved ones a message in a more meaningful way today!

Gone are the days of last minute, boring Father’s Day gifts. Use our stencils from Stencil Style 101 or shop the site for your favorite designs to give Dad a gift that will make you the favorite child. Check out our tie how-to and other ideas below!
1. Anchor Tie
To make this tie you’ll need: anchor stencil from Stencil Style 101, stencil brush, fabric paint, and a tie.
First: Place the tie on a sturdy, flat surface exposing the area where you want to stencil.
Second: Place the stencil on the tie. You can secure the stencil by taping it with painter’s tape, spraying the back with spray adhesive, or by holding it with the hand you are not painting with.
Third: Begin to stencil the tie by dabbing the brush up and down. Remember that stenciling is a dry brush technique. This means you are using very little paint and applying multiple coats. Once you are done stenciling, lift the stencil and allow it to dry to touch. Finish up by heat sealing it with an iron.
You can stencil one anchor or multiple to make a pattern!

Hi fellow Stencilers and food lovers! Have you been watching Chef’s Table on Netflix recently? Maybe you might have noticed, but our birch tree stencil made an appearance on the show! We’re thrilled and honored to have chef Niki Nakayama use our birch tree stencil to create one of her stunning dishes.
Chef’s Table showcases a behind-the-scenes look at the kitchen of a different culinary genius in each episode. In her episode, Nakayama uses our stencil to make an edible tree which is then decorated with sushi and salad greens. These then act as the tree’s fruit and leaves. Her novel approach to using the stencil and how it created a lovely new way of presenting her dish is amazing! During her plating of this dish, she says
“Someday when all is set and done, I am going to do my own thing and just be free.”
We love her entrepreneurial spirit! Watch the episode and find out more about Niki Nakayama!
Hopefully, this inspires you to think outside the box the next time you make dinner. What culinary masterpieces can you come up with using our stencils?
