November '21 StencilClub Revealed by Mary Beth and Seth!

You asked for it. You got it.




Mary Beth Shaw and Seth Apter are mashing it up for StencilClub members for the third time!



You get these exclusive, cool-as-all-get-out stencils.

Mary Beth and Seth designed these with the use of an area, a line, or the entire design in mind.
  • The mini mask is all about a bit of chaos contained in a circle.
  • The small stencil, well, you may have a decision to make with this one. Cut the shape out from its square container or leave it be and allow the funky corners to pop with color or negative space.
  • The large stencil features movement on a grand scale with its swooping lines, crosses, dots, and fat hash marks.
These stencils ship to StencilClub members on the 15th of November and that same day members will get the exclusive technique video by Mary Beth and Seth along with a PDF. Both are downloadable.

Are you ready to have some fun? Oh good. See you in StencilClub!

Psst!
Want to purchase StencilClub as a gift for the special artist in your life?
Email john (at) stencilgirlproducts.com with the date you want to begin and the giftee's mailing and email addresses and he will invoice you for a 6 or 12-month gift membership.

May StencilClub Revealed: The Shaw-Adams Mash-Up!



Greetings!

Mary Beth Shaw teamed up with Debi Adams to create the May 2021 Mash-Up Set exclusively for StencilClub members.






The mini 4" x 4" stencil features an abstract pattern under a larger botanical cutout.

Architecturally gridded circuits with a border comprise the small 6" x 6" stencil.

The large 9" x 12" stencil has four quadrants so you can make marks and backgrounds.
  • Mushroom stems, abstract marks or grass
  • Circles afloat on a grid in this geometric design
  • Coffee cup rings
  • Repeating, somewhat architectural design 
Tip: Cut the quadrants apart - easier to stencil and store.

Here is a sneak peek of the card making project Debi and Mary Beth have in mind for StencilClub members:





StencilClub membership is full of perks in addition to the 3 exclusive stencils!

20% off stencils in StencilGirl's public collection all the time.

The Feathered Tribe alights for February 2021 StencilClub

Gwen Lafleur's love of birds comes from her naturalist grandparents. 

The Feathered Tribe Set combines Gwen's love of birds, travel, and pattern.


Join the StencilClub art community now and get these stencils (2/15/21 ship date) and Gwen's fabulous project when you sign up!





Three exclusive stencils for StencilClub members:

A Songbird perches on a single branch of the 9" x 12" stencil, while two birds perch on the lower branch, the bird with furled wings was inspired by the Australian Cuckoo, and the one with fluttering wings was inspired by Native America Tribal Art. Although the birds are tied together by flowering branches, you can mask them off and use them individually.

Three feather designs adorn the 6" x 6" stencil to use together, repeat in a row or use individually, perhaps as a border.


Use the pattern of the 4" x 4" to coordinate with the feathers and birds, as a repeating background, or use the individual elements.



Exclusive to StencilClub members:
  • Start to finish technique video for creating the detailed painted image and vintage collage of the artwork, below left. 
  • Gwen is including a printable with vintage images as well as the PDF!


These adorable mini collages and brightly colored embroidery with beading are two other ways Gwen used the hand-drawn stencils she created exclusively for StencilClub members.





Get all the perks of StencilClub membership when you sign up by February 15, 2021. Are you reading this post after that date? No worries! Current club members can order any past set and access the PDF and video that comes with it.

Jill McDowell Reveals the December 2020 StencilClub Set: Block Prints

StencilGirl is wrapping up StencilClub for 2020 with lovely, intricate patterns designed by Jill McDowell! 

Jill created these stencils in homage to vintage Japanese Block Print books.


The large 9" x 12" features and intricate patterns within patterns inspired by garden gates.

The heart and cross motifs on the small 6" x 6" lend themselves to borders.

The repeating design of the mini 4" x 4" is perfect as a base to create your own patterns.

Sit back and relax while Jill shows you what she has in store for StencilClub members.



Intrigued?







The exclusive Block Prints Set ships to StencilClub members on December 15th!

That same day, members will receive a newsletter with links to the video and PDF of Jill's origami flip-style gift card tutorial.

Undecided?

Revealed: The Shaw Taylor Mash-Up for November StencilClub

Mary Beth Shaw and Kristie Taylor have picked their faves and played with the sizes for a November 2020 StencilClub Mashup!



This exclusive set of stencils can stand alone or complement existing stencils you may already own in different sizes. 

Diamond Dot is bigger and while it is not specifically a repeating stencil, it is easy to line up the dots for a repeating pattern. 

Kristie loved Mary Beth's Tile Maze but wanted to use it as a background and so it evolved into a large stencil. 

Mary Beth loves pattern and Kristie's Tri Textured Sheet Metal is now a larger pattern but in a mini stencil.

Kristie and Mary Beth are ready to tell you more about their Mash-Up set:



Here's a sneak peek of the beauty and techniques the two artists are sharing with club members on the 15th of November:

StencilClub July 2020 Reveal: Suzani by Gwen Lafleur



Infuse your art with graceful Suzani patterns.

Similar embroidered textiles grace the decor of homes in Central Asia as handmade bedspreads and wall hangings.

Four botanicals and a central floral display are featured on the 9" x 12" stencil, available exclusively to StencilClub members.





Gwen Lafleur loves medallions and the 6" x 6" is one of her new favorites.





Both of these stencils offer enhanced possibilities when you mask areas off.

The 4" x 4" stencil is another gorgeous pattern for repeating as a square or diamond.





Gwen based each of these stencil designs on traditional Suzani patterns.

It's the first ever Mash Up for StencilClub between Mary Beth Shaw & Seth Apter!

When Mary Beth Shaw and Seth Apter get together to make art you know it is going to be wild and wonderful.

They each chose their faves and lucky StencilClub members reap the rewards! 





What a phenomenally exciting way to begin 2019!

You get randomly shaped tossed numbers, a long row of soft-edged squares and rectangles that look like adobe walls and doors turned one way or an interesting column, scribbled marks with interesting circles in the large stencil.

The mini is all about hashtags and hash marks. Again, turn the stencil and some of the marks become columns.

Thick drips, crisscrossed not necessarily circular buttons, and an element that could be a bridge (flipped up and down it makes a great background pattern) make up the small stencil. 

Watch the video and you'll get an idea of what is in store for StencilClub members!


You won't want to miss this first-time-ever Mash Up between Mary Beth Shaw and Set Apter's stencils.

Mary Beth and Seth riff off one another during this month's exclusive downloadable video and pdf,  all about special techniques you can employ in your art!

You can find out more and join StencilClub here.

Remember! StencilClub stencils ship the 15th of each month!
