 Hey guys, how are you? I need a colored piece of paper or you are not going to be able to see what I'm talking about Let's see. Hang on Do we have anything? How about this piece of off-white paper? Will that work? No, that doesn't work Let me get something. Hang on. Now you can see. Woohoo! All right, so I have designed a number of New stencils for this year that have four designs and one stencil at the moment. We have five different designs and Coming up. There's at least two more that I can think of off the top of my head. Maybe three I think there's two. I don't know. Anyway, there's more coming. I like these because I personally like to have the option of Taking my stencils with me traveling and also working in a small journal. What do I mean by that? Like this little mullskin. This is a little mullskin one of the mullskin diaries. This is for it was for 2017 I don't use it for that. I use it to do art journaling and so I Like these you could leave these the way they're designed honest. There are four designs on a six by six stencil or You can cut them apart You of course can do it on a trimmer. Get the trimmer out Zoom out just a little bit. There we go. You could do it on a trimmer You might find That some of them You need to cut with a pair of scissors You're gonna have to eyeball it. They're not all gonna be like exactly three by three as you can see, right? But I have a spare set here I have one set I'm gonna leave in the six by six, but I've got a spare set here that I want to cut up They actually just came in from manufacturing Which is why this little piece of plastic is on here. Can you see that? Yeah? Yeah So you could do it with a trimmer or you could do it with scissors. You don't have to You don't have to have a trimmer this is one of them so if you look at this one you'll notice That if you cut it straight across here, you're gonna cut off the arrow So, you know, I Didn't think about cutting them in half until after I started designing them Okay, so I'm going to only do that one that way So you're gonna have to be you know a bit thoughtful with some of them and how you cut them If cutting them apart makes them too small for you and you don't have a big enough margin around the edge You could tape a bit of decorative duct duct tape around the edge of them Okay So then you can take them all you can put them in an envelope a pocket a ziplock bag You could punch holes in them and put them on a binder ring and you've got this whole set of mini stencils to play with and These are much easier to get into a small journal than in its bigger form of six by six So whether you have my stencils or someone else's that have more than one design on the stencil think about cutting it apart All right, that's it for today just a quick tip Don't be afraid to cut your you know to cut your stencils apart to get creative with your tools I've even been known to take stencils and Cut all of this border away To to release the image get creative with them whether they're mine or someone else's just have fun Make art enjoy yourself and above all go out and do something nice for yourself because you deserve it And I'll see you later. Bye guys
