Full details
This Tim Holtz Mini Layered Stencil Set (MTS020) is designed for paper crafters looking to add intricate, layered designs to their projects with inks, paints, and stamps. The key benefit is the ability to create professional-looking, multi-dimensional effects with ease. A minor consideration is that these are scaled-down versions of standard stencils, so they are best suited for smaller sections of projects.

FAQs
What are the dimensions of these mini stencils?
Each tag-shaped mini stencil measures approximately 3 1/8 inches by 6 1/4 inches.
Can I use these stencils with heat embossing powders?
Yes, you can apply embossing ink through the stencil and then heat emboss. For best results, use a thicker ink or paste for better coverage.
Are these stencils reusable?
Yes, these stencils are designed for multiple uses. Proper cleaning and care will ensure their longevity.
Can I use these with my standard die-cutting machine?
These stencils are not designed for die-cutting. They are intended for applying mediums through the cut-out designs.
What is the best way to store these stencils?
Store them flat in a dry place. The hole at the top allows them to be kept together on a cable binder ring for easy access and organization.
Do these stencils come with a binder ring?
No, the cable binder ring is sold separately but is recommended for efficient storage and management of the set.
Troubleshooting
Ink or paint bleeding under the stencil
Ensure the stencil is pressed firmly against the surface. For very porous surfaces, consider using a stencil adhesive spray or a thicker medium. Apply mediums with a sponge dauber or brayer using a light touch.
Difficulty cleaning the stencil
Soak the stencil in warm water with a drop of dish soap for a few minutes before scrubbing gently with a soft brush. Ensure the stencil is completely dry before storing.
Stencil material tearing or cracking
Handle the stencils with care, especially around detailed areas. Avoid bending them sharply. If a small tear occurs, it may still be usable for less precise applications.
