Tim Holtz Mini Stencil Set 28 - Stampers Anonymous - MST028

The tag-shaped mini stencils measure approximately 3 1/8" x 6 1/4" (approx. 7.9 cm x 15.9 cm).

Yes, you can use them with heavy body acrylics, but it's best applied with a palette knife or spatula for texture rather than brushing, and cleaned immediately after use to prevent clogging.

They are made of a durable material that has some flexibility, allowing them to conform to slightly uneven surfaces, but they are not designed to be bent or folded.

Each stencil has a hole at the top, making them ideal for organizing onto a Cable Binder Ring, which is sold separately.

While not their primary purpose, you could experiment with embossing paste or even run them through an embossing machine with certain materials, though results may vary.

The mini stencils are a scaled-down version of the original larger layering stencils, designed for smaller projects and more intricate detailing.

You will need tools for applying your chosen medium, such as stencil brushes, sponge daubers, brayers, or palette knives. A binder ring is useful for storage.

Ensure the stencil is held firmly against the surface. For extra security, use temporary spray adhesive or stencil adhesive. Apply mediums sparingly with a dry brush or sponge, dabbing rather than brushing.

This is likely residue from temporary adhesive. Clean the stencil with rubbing alcohol or a specific adhesive remover. Ensure it dries completely before next use.

Use a denser applicator, such as a stencil brush or a dense foam sponge, with minimal product loaded. Ensure the surface is flat and the stencil is adhered securely.

Store stencils flat and away from extreme temperatures or moisture. If slight warping occurs, you can try gently flattening them under a heavy book for a period.
