It's a bird. It's a plane. It's TWO new Collections from Carolyn Dube!

Strong Women (L955)

 

These three silhouettes represent the limitless imagination of childhood, adulthood when you put on your cape to manage everything that has to be done, and the wise woman standing with confidence, owning the wisdom she has earned through experience.

 

Whether she’s leaping a tall building or dealing with what life throws at her every day, she is a Heroic Woman!

 

Heroic Words (L957)

This stencil celebrates strong women because words have power! Designed to compliment the silhouettes of the Strong Women stencil. 

 

At the bottom of the stencil, there is a matching alphabet so if you'd like to add a letter or two to a word (for example, turn hero into heroes) you can easily do that. 

These are great words to add to cards, art journal spreads, collages, or scrapbooking pages, and they make quick backgrounds by just using parts of the words or overlapping words.

 

Rainbow Quotes (L956)

Rainbow quotes to brighten your day and your play! There’s a wide range of symbolism associated with rainbows from strength to hope to promise to peace to luck to new beginnings to eternal life to equality. 

 

I've selected some of my favorite rainbow quotes which are great for making cards, using in scrapbooks, on an art journal page, or layering in a collage.  

The quotes in this stencil are: 

If you have ever followed a rainbow to its end, it leads you to the ground on which you are standing.             - Alan Cohen

You are a rainbow of possibilities.  - Unknown

Love can form a double rainbow, connecting two hearts.  - Tom Baker

Your true colors are beautiful like a rainbow.  - Cyndi Lauper

Dare to love yourself as if you were a rainbow with gold at both ends.  - Aberjhani

Friends are like rainbows. Always there to cheer you up after a storm.  - Unknown

 

 

 

Reflecting Rainbow (S942)

There's a secret to the Reflecting Rainbow stencil. Each half of the stencil is a mask for the other half. All you need to do it just flip the stencil. How does that work? See how in the video! 

 

A perfect and proper rainbow has all colors, but so many times when Carolyn stumbles upon rainbows every color isn’t visible. Sure, there’s a scientific reason having to do with how the light is reflecting off the water droplets and how the rods and cones in our eyes work, but the creative part of her prefers to see the magic and symbolism in perfectly imperfect rainbows.

 

A rainbow can mean many things from strength to hope to promise to peace to luck to new beginnings to eternal life to equality.  Whatever a rainbow means to you, you can add these to your art journals, collages, handmade cards, or any other creative play!

 

Rows of Reflecting Rainbows (S943)

 

Rows of Reflecting Rainbows honors Mother Nature’s grand display in the sky. Use the entire stencil, just one row of rainbows, or a single rainbow. 

The scalloped pattern is created by repeating a row of the design. Do a little on top to create a border, create a wide swath across the middle, or fill the entire page, no matter the size.

 

When adding a rainbow to anything you create, you are adding a bit of symbolism.  A rainbow can mean many things such as strength, hope, promise, peace, luck, new beginnings, eternal life, or equality.  Is this everything? Nope, rainbows can represent whatever you want them to, after all when you’re creating, you make the rules!

Introducing The Random Thoughts Collection by Carolyn Dube

As you read through the words on the stencils, you may notice that some of these aren’t full sentences or even complete thoughts, but just a random collection of words meant to inspire you in your creative play. You have the flexibility to use the entire stencil for a background, or intentionally pick a few words to use on an art journal page, an ATC, in a collage, or anything else you create. Feeling adventurous? Then stencil the words on tissue paper, cut them apart, and randomly grab a few and see where it takes you!

Random Thoughts 1 (L922)

Random Thoughts 2 (L923)

Random Thoughts 3 (L924)

Something to Say (L925)

This stencil was inspired by the random thoughts that pop into Carolyn’s head, the loud and soft voices heard, and all the distracting noise that seems to be in the world right now.  Write inside the speech bubbles, stencil words in them, glue found poetry inside, or use them any other way you want! This stencil includes all 8 masks which give you even more options for using this set! 

Carolyn's new collection is available now at stencilgirlproducts.com

Boho, Banner Planner, Emotions & Feelings, & Garden Stencils

Wow! If you love stencils like we love stencils this is a very good marvelous sun-shiny day. Carolyn Dube, Valerie Sjodin, Cecilia Swatton, and Gwen Lafleur all have new stencils!

Words, an alphabet, bullet journal banners, flowers, faces, and medallions await you...

The Feelings and Emotions Stencil collection designed by Carolyn Dube was inspired by the rollercoaster ride this year has been.  

Carolyn says: "These stencils are a way to honor the full range of feelings, not just the happy ones. Use them as a tool for storytelling. Use these words front and center for a card, in your art journal, on a collage.  Embedding the words in the early layers of your play allows you to express and respect your feelings privately.  When you are using stencils, you have incredible flexibility so you can use it in the way that fits your creative process."

Feelings & Emotions 1, L827, 9" x 12"

Inspired by large interactive murals that are designed to start conversations and get you thinking, Carolyn created a stencil to do this for you in your art journal. Journal Starters is a collection of prompts providing a place to start a personal dialogue honoring your feelings, your journey, and your experiences.  Add one of these prompts to your art journal or create an entire mini journal with these! 

Designed to work alone or in conjunction with the other stencils in the Feelings and Emotions collection.

Journal Starters, S845, 6" x6"

Feelings & Emotions 2, L828, 9" x 12"

Inspired by illuminated letters, the Feelings and Emotions Alphabet Stencil includes a large and small alphabet.  Having two coordinating alphabets in one stencil gives you lots of flexibility!  Create a modern take on illuminated letters by starting a word with a large letter then stenciling the rest of the word with the smaller alphabet. Great for creating titles or adding a word for impact in your art!

The small alphabet is the same size as the words in the Feelings and Emotions collection so you can build any word you want, and it will match the others perfectly.  

Alphabet, L830, 9" x 12"

Feelings & Emotions 3, 9"x12", L829

The ribbons in the PlannerBanner Bullet Journal Ribbons Stencil by Valerie Sjodin are perfect for bullet journaling, art, and planner use because she designed them to be cut and fit into the pocket of an A5, or Moleskine journal. Use them for months of the year, headings, cards, and to make any header special. A perfect pairing with Script Sans Serif Planner Alpha & Grid L833 that will add just the right lettering style to your headings. 

Planner Banner Bullet Journal Ribbons, L832, 9" x 12"

Lettering is so easy for your bullet journal and planner with the Script Sans Serif Planner Alpha & Grid Stencil designed by Valerie Sjodin. Two alphabets, one script and one sans serif are included, along with the 12 months of the year. ALSO included is a bullet journal grid to make drawing a calendar quick and easy. It fits perfectly on a dot or grid journal such as Moleskine, Leuchturrm1917, or any A5 dotted or grid journal. This 4-in-1 stencil can be cut so all 4 pieces fit into the pocket in the backs of the journals. Make your headings even more special by combining these letters with either the Planner Banner Ribbons L832 OR the Mid-Century Modern Banners L711.

Sans Serif Alpha Grid, L833, 9" x 12"

The Garden at Nemours Stencil by Cecilia Swatton was inspired by her happy experience at the gardens by the same name in Pennsylvania. These gardens, lush with greenery and giddy with flowers, Cecilia says she was inspired with every step she took. S658 is the alternate Mask.

Garden at Nemours, 6" x 6", S844

 

Boho Faces, L831, 12" x 9"

The two faces on this large stencil are a mash-up of tribal influences from Gwen Lafleur's travels as well as her imagination and the interest in her smaller rubber stamp designs for PaperArtsy. 

You can use one or both of the designs and you can also mask them off to use bits and pieces. They’re perfect for art journaling, mixed media artwork, mixed media portraits, and more. This stencil also coordinates beautifully with her Boho Daisies Small and Mini stencils as well as the other designs in her Boho collection.

Boho Daisy Mini, M318, 4" x 4"

Each of these Boho Daisy stencils were inspired by the daisies that Gwen started drawing around the eyes of her tribal or Boho faces. Use both stencils to create a layered flower or separately in your art journal, as embroidery patterns, for art journaling, and handmade tags.

Boho Daisy Small, S846, 6" x 6"

Suzani Circle Medallion, S847, 6" x 6"

The small Suzani Circle Medallion and Flower Medallion, and the mini Circle Flowers were inspired by the traditional hand-embroidered Suzanis (textiles – usually bed covers or wall hangings) found through Central Asia, and especially in Uzbekistan. Gwen designed these stencils to coordinate with some of her PaperArtsy rubber stamp collections as well as the July 2020 StencilClub “Suzani” collection, which is exclusive to StencilClub members.

This detailed floral design is ideal for handmade cards and tags, art journaling, mixed media artwork, scrapbooking, and more. Repeat it or turn it in different directions for even more versatility in creating backgrounds and larger designs.

Suzani Flower Medallion, S848, 6" x 6"

Suzani Circle Flowers, M320, 4" x 4"

Palmistry Hand, M319, 4" x 4"

The Palmisty Hand Stencil was inspired by Gwen's experiences in having her palm read while traveling through Bali and India. This stencil features a right-handed palm with the Life Line, Wisdom Line, Love Line, Fate Line, and Marriage Line. This design also includes the symbols for Venus (love, sympathy, and grace,) Moon (courage, mysticism, and imagination,) and outside of the palm are Jupiter (confidence, wisdom, and leadership,) Sun (ambition, success, and creativity,) and Saturn (discipline, balance, and independence.)

This stencil is perfect for use on handmade cards and tags, for mini art journal pages or small focal points, scrapbooking, and much more.
