I used this stencil to create paintings for over my bed, it worked well but I chose to traced the stencil and not paint directly on it.

I got these stencils to use for decorating onesies for a baby shower, and they were great. The cardboard is durable and they can be used again.

Nice sturdy and well cut stencil with a great design. I'm using this to impress on polymer clay as well as for stenciling on the clay with paint. Works very nicely for both.

Worked well for a project I was doing. Stenciled nicely on a table I was refurbishing.

The Tim Holtz Stencils are a great addition to my art studio - I have used these with 2D art projects and also plan to use them with clay to push slip through to make a textured pattern. These are a great size too - almost 8" x 4" of surface pattern.

This is a ver pretty design that can be used on furniture, boxes, wall stenciling and lots of other uses. I have stenciled picture mats and fabrics using the designs. The product is very sturdy, easy to clean and store. Can't go wrong investing in a collection of these stencils.

While I love these stencils and they provide a variety of cloud shapes, and I have found them very useful, I do wish the plastic was a bit sturdier. As with all flimsy stencils, at times the pen or pencil will bend or push the plastic so make sure to use a light hand if you are tracing the lines. The stencil is fairly small so I wouldn't recommend to use them with paint unless you use very small brush, a roller will not work for a single cloud and the images are too close together to cut apart. I'd still recommend it though. It can work very well with scrap booking, art journaling or card making.

I only needed the larger one. My handwriting (as an architect) is better than a stencil.  Stencils help a lot.

I purchased this item for mixed media art. From what I have read more crafters use double adhesive tape to get these beads to stick because sticky powder or embossing clear ink would not provide enough adhesive. I think solis strips for greeting cards would work well, not sure about stencil shapes because it would be hard to keep the beads from going under the stencil. Brass or steel stencils may work. Amazon has glue for gilding flakes that is also recommended for foil & glitter. It's the type you heat and let set. This type of glue may work for microbeads. Recommended for crafters, not for small children. Need to use this item in a way that you can control the beads from rolling everywhere especially if you have pets.

I used these to create stencils for painting 'confetti' dots on my daughter's bedroom walls.  .007 thickness was pretty good, thin enough but not too flimsy.
I used different sized cans to cut out the stencils with an exacto knife, over a safety mat.

Stencils are hard plastic and will last and last - unfortunately the colored pencils are very hard to color with.  The color is more like a wax.

If you are looking for a book on street art, or something about stenciling, this is not the book for you.  But if you are looking for a book that has some really cool stencils you can use for your own purposes, this is a great buy.  In art stores, unique stencils go for $10 a piece, this book has 20 of them.  I have been using them to create my own clothing with great results.  My only gripe, the stencils are made out of cardboard, and tend to warp after repeat usings.  They also tend to warp with heavier paint.  But, hey, for the price, I'll just buy another book.  A great buy for the artist within you!

I purchases this one and another kit - already reviewed - for a Parish Picnic where I face painted from 4p in the afternoon until 9p at night! I used mostly the other kit I had, but used THIS KIT'S stencils and glitter, as well as a couple of the colors when needed. Everything held up beautifully with the stencils sticking most of the night. May I recommend, though, the purchasing of extra stencils as the stickiness will eventually lose its stick especially if your painting for a long duration. =-)

Works great for tracing my stencil on my wooden signs.  I was using a pen or pencil but was constantly breaking them!

Crafters Workshop puts out nice quality stencils and this one is no exception. I love how detailed it is, but on the flip side, all those details make it difficult to clean. I have a hard time getting this clean without bending any of the little slats. One of my favorite things about CW stencils is the enormous variety of ways you can use them. I love using sprays and inks, but I also love tracing all the little spaces and then using a craft knife to cut them out. You can get amazing results by combining different techniques with these stencils. The mylar is nice and thick, which helps to keep the stencil flat and produce a result you will love. (They don't curl the way cheap, thin mylar can.) Using modeling paste will give another cool look and is very easy to do with a palette knife. These nautilus shells really add dimension and character to any creation - and this stencil will fall in line beautifully with all the sea-themed stencils CW is putting out for Winter 2016!

Bottom Line: Fantastic stencils for artists of any level. Nice, clear images - very versatile stencils. It's important to be careful when cleaning stencils - but that is especially true with this one. Even though Crafters Workshop uses a nice, thick mylar to produce their stencils, it is still incredibly easy to crease the little "prongs" that form the details of these shells. That is true with any stencil, but is very easy to do with one so highly detailed. You can get countless looks with this stencil - I can't wait to try them all!

** TIP: I'm kind of a freak about keeping my supplies looking as new as possible, and stencils are no exception. To clean, I wet the stencil under running water, lay it flat on the counter, then use a child's soft toothbrush to GENTLY rub the stencil with a small amount of dish soap before rinsing it under the water. If you are busy creating and don't want to have to stop to clean your stencils after each one you use, keep a shallow pie plate/dish close by, filled with water. Drop your stencils in the water bath while you finish creating, then take all the stencils to the sink and wash them all at once. This will keep paints, inks, etc from drying on - and ruining - your stencils. (I use a child's soft toothbrush because they are so much softer than an adult toothbrush.) **
