Vampire Cupcake Stencils

Hint: you can use these on more things beside cupcakes. 8 flexible acrylic stencils: bats, a vampire silhouette, a bug, a kinda frankenstein looking vampire bust, spider w/web, blood splashes, "eat if you dare" and 3 smaller bugs.

More stencils below.

$6.25/Set of 8

Stencils

Acrylic masks are below.

Mermaids Stencil

A fun stencil, based on retro, '50s images (3 mermaids and 2 schools of fish). 4" x 9" lightweight stencil board (stencils are made thin enough to wrap around curves/corners when stenciling). Use a stencil brush so that your brushstrokes won't push paint under the edges of the cut-out design (or spray with a mister or spray paint to apply your color).

The mermaids at the top of the photo are "left overs" after I popped them out of the laser-cut stencil. Treat them as bonus chipboard art fodder. I left one of the mermaid "un-punched out" on the left side.

If you're planning to use the stencil a lot, I would use spray shellac to seal the stencil before you get paint on it (an oil-based varnish, rather than a water-based acrylic spray will last longer). Spray a few layers and let dry. Flip it over and do again.

Wire Birds Stencil

5 birds, all sitting at different angles. Add a line or the top of a fence and you'll have them sitting in a row. 4" x 9" lightweight stencil board (stencils are made thin enough to wrap around curves/corners when stenciling). Use a stencil brush so that your brushstrokes won't push paint under the edges of the cut-out design (or spray with a mister or spray paint to apply your color).

Acrylic

Thinner, printed acetate transparencies are in the Paper: Tags, Etc. section.

Used in the Clear Acrylic Tags/Ornaments Swap.

Used in the Gold Leaf and Alcohol Ink Acrylic Tags Tutorial by Design Team Member Barbe Saint John.

Clear, Die-Cut Book Pages Clear acrylic die-cut pages in hearts & butterfly wing shapes (the 3 large sizes are pre-punched with binding holes; the small set of 4 hearts can be punched as you wish). Instead of stacking them directly on top of one another, try layering one piece towards the top, one in the middle and one on the bottom. Or even just the front & back covers. For binding, they can be laced with ribbons or use metal binding rings. These pages are crystal clear; the small heart in the larger photo has just been tilted so you can see the shape. Note: peel the protective paper off of both sides before decorating. Sale prices: 4 small hearts, $3.75; 1 large lacy heart, $2.75; 1 6x6" heart, $1.49 1 large butterfly wing, $1.99 (Regular prices: 4 small hearts, $4.99; 1 large lacy heart, $3.99; 1 6x6" solid heart, $2.49 1 large butterfly wing, $2.99

Tim Holtz Masks Die-cut, clear vinyl masks (die-cut designs to pop out and use as stencils — both the positive and negative parts can be used). The backing sheet shows the patterns in black printing (and could be cut up and used in artwork, too, although you'd probably want to keep them to store the masks on). The masks have repositionable adhesive on the back so you can use them again and again. Simply apply inks, paints, sprays, or a variety of other mediums over the mask. The masks are clear, so you are easily able to see how much ink you are applying to the desired area. Wipe or wash mask after inking — the repositionable adhesive will still cling again and again. Here's a video by Tim Holtz showing them in use. "Borderline" includes 4 borders: 2 barbed wire sections, and 2 different wrought iron patterns, that are all approximately 11" long and 1" to 2-1/4" wide. "Timeworks" has 5 pieces: 4 gears that vary in size from approximately 2" to 3" and a grunge clock face with Roman numerals approximately 5" in diameter. $2.99/set*
