26 Packs Stencils for Journal and Diary DIY Drawing Stencils, Greeting Card Template

They're pretty much what I expected. Nothing magical, but fun anyway. If you see a shape in the cutout that in your mind looks like a thing and trace one, it isn't magically going to look like a realistic drawing of that thing. You'd have to fill in some of your own details. For example, the one that looks like a slice of watermelon, when you get it on paper looks more like swiss cheese. But if you draw a couple of your own extra lines, voila, watermelon! You need some verrrry fine tip pens to get into some of the tiny spaces. If pouncing with paint, you need a verrry small applicator or some washi to avoid accidentally including part of a nearby shape. I've been using a mechanical pencil and tracing them onto junk journal pages or cards for a naive, rustic look. You can do it lightly, then later go over it with darker color pencil or pen if you wish. The only cheaper and better alternative-learn how to draw.

The stencils are ok, not as sturdy as I would like stencils to be. Most of these don’t really have a place in bullet journals which is why I give it one less star. These are fun stencils overall but I think the average bullet journal user is probably looking for stencils with more focus on productivity or journaling designs instead, and that’s what I was mainly looking for.

These aren't the greatest stencils, but they do the job for a lower price. I suppose, you get what you pay for. They are a flimsy, plastic material & I often have trouble with them moving as I trace (though I'm holding it down) or not being smooth cut-outs. For example, I want to trace an apple, but along the outside of the apple, there is a jagged piece of plastic that sticks out, so now my apple has this odd indent on one side. These are great to get you started. I'd recommend only if you're trying to spend very little. Yet, I would not purchase again.

One thing that I loved is that this product shipped very quickly! The first thing is that I had to pull 5 of the sheets because they were themes that I don't use like Halloween, Christmas, etc. However, I saw what was available before purchase so that isn't the issue. I just think it would be a good idea to create a package for holidays and celebrations and have a standard stencil pack for planning and journaling, more generalized. The thinness of the stencils is a problem because as you are drawing on them some of the smaller pieces move, so the drawing gets distorted. The thinness might make them easier to store since there are so many, but I wonder if they might get bent or ruined in some way because they are so flimsy. There are some nice pictures on the stencils. However, they are way to large for my purposes. I'm planning in an A6 and most of these stencils will take up a large portion of my page. Also, some of the more detailed stencils, like the bird, umbrella, and crown are hard to use completely depending on the type of pen you are using. The pen will not get into the grooves easily. So that's something to consider. I think I would love these stencils if the sheets were a little thicker and the pictures were smaller. So now I'm off to purchase another stencil set.

These are much more sturdy than I anticipated and I am blown away by how many great designs there are. I cannot think of a single shape that is missing. Each stencil came in its own little package and I remember being very excited to open each and every one and check out the designs - it is the little things in life. I highly recommend this product.

These are nice stencils but a lot of shapes repeat, and I would have liked some different themes instead of a bunch of different “happy birthdays.” I thought there was a sheet including the full alphabet but I was mistaken. That would have made this perfect!I’m trying to include pics of all the stencils but apparently we can’t upload more than one picture anymore....

The order arrived quickly and there were a lot of stencils for the price, so good value......but they are really too small for what I wanted. I had wanted to stamp paint on them to add little elements to homemade greeting cards and tags, but with the images so small, I cannot get a good impression by stamping. I guess I'll have to use very fine-line markers and color them that way instead.

These are better than what i expected. I use them to journal, and I use medium and fine-tip pens, and these work PERFECTLY. I actually bought a 5x7 clear photo box to keep them all in, it holds felt-tip markers in with it. This variety has SO MANY options! The cut outs are all clean - no nicks or bumps or jagged edges.
