Design & Aesthetic
The Street Map stencil brings an urban, directional design element to the Our Way collection—a versatile pattern of streets, routes and map-like lines that adds structure, journey and movement to mixed media backgrounds, scrapbook layouts and card-making projects. The design works beautifully as a full-background texture, a defining border, or a corner embellishment that adds architectural detail without overwhelming focal elements. The transparent material lets you position the design precisely over existing work for accurate, intentional placement every time.
Why Choose This Stencil
The thick construction is the standout benefit—resisting the warping that thinner stencils suffer under paste application and repeated use, this stencil maintains its flat, precise shape across countless creative sessions. The transparent, flexible material lets you see exactly where you're placing the design and conforms gently to dimensional surfaces for versatile application. Compatibility with pastes, inks and paints gives you creative flexibility across a full range of mixed media techniques—texture paste for dimensional raised effects, inks for defined printed patterns, and paints for bold colour work. As part of the coordinated Our Way collection, the Street Map design integrates seamlessly with Our Way papers, journals and ephemera for unified project aesthetics.
How to Use
Position the stencil over your chosen surface—cardstock, mixed media background, journal page or dimensional project. Apply texture paste, ink or paint using a palette knife, blending tool or stencil brush, working the medium through the stencil openings. Carefully lift the stencil away to reveal the crisp design. For backgrounds, use the full 20×25cm area; for borders, position along edges; for corner embellishment, place the design partially off-page. Wash the stencil immediately after each use before the colour dries to maintain clarity and longevity—rinse with warm water and gentle soap if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What size is the stencil?
The stencil measures 20×25cm—a versatile size that covers a substantial area for full-background work on cards and journal pages, whilst remaining manageable for border and corner positioning on larger scrapbook layouts.
Q: What materials can I use with this stencil?
The stencil is compatible with a full range of mixed media mediums—texture pastes, modelling pastes, gel mediums, inks, paints, sprays and more. Apply with a palette knife for paste work, or use blending tools, sponge daubers and stencil brushes for inks and paints.
Q: How do I clean the stencil?
Wash the stencil immediately after each use before the colour or paste dries. Rinse with warm water, using gentle soap if needed for stubborn medium. Avoid letting paste dry on the stencil, as dried material is significantly harder to remove and can affect the clarity of future impressions.
Q: Why is the stencil described as thick and durable?
The thick construction resists the warping that thinner stencils suffer—particularly important when applying wet pastes that can cause thinner materials to bend and distort. This thickness ensures the stencil maintains its flat, precise shape across repeated use, delivering consistent, crisp impressions over time.
Q: Is the stencil transparent?
Yes. The transparent material lets you see through the stencil to position the design precisely over existing work, align with other elements, or place borders and corners with accuracy. This visibility is particularly valuable for layered mixed media compositions where precise placement matters.
Q: Can I use this on dimensional or textured surfaces?
Yes. The flexible material conforms gently to dimensional and textured surfaces, allowing the stencil to make good contact across uneven areas for clean impressions. For heavily textured surfaces, take care to press the stencil into contours before applying medium to ensure consistent coverage
