Review on πŸ“” Enhance Your Creativity with the 12-Piece Journal Stencil Plastic Planner Set: Perfect for DIY Drawing in Notebooks, Diaries, and Scrapbooks by Amber Perez

Sweet. A little thin. Repeat images.

First of all, you can't beat the number of designs for the price. It has almost every box size you could ever need. Some of them have such small differences that they almost seem unnecessary. There are also some images that are repeated. The weather pattern template (Sheet 5) contains five different cloud weather patterns that use the same cloud imagery. You could save space by just using one cloud image and then just combine lightning, raindrops, and half sun/crescent moon separately. You'll also place left and right flags and multiple arrows of the same size if one will suffice, and you can easily flip the stencil to face a different direction. Also, I'm not sure what the point of adding simple straight lines is, as straight lines can easily be added with a ruler (or even the edges of a stencil if you're careful). Space saved to add other items that I was missing. For example, there's a giant water drop (about 1.5 inches tall), but no miniature water drops for things like water tracking. There are a few social media icons (Facebook, 2 different Pinterest, 2 different Twitter and even LinkedIn). and now defunct Google+), but nothing for Instagram, Tumblr, or SnapChat. The stencils are also very thin. You must have a careful hand or some parts of the stencil will bend (especially on drawings with thin, intricate lines). I love how many banners they have as hand drawing banners has been the bane of my existence in a bullet magazine is. There are many great symbols for most types of activities - food, coffee/tea, music, mail, money, fitness/yoga. They also have different bullet designs (squares, circles, triangles, hearts, stars). Square and heart-shaped bullets come in different sizes and bullet spacing, so you don't have to cram the lists together or scatter them a lot. You can choose the spacing according to your needs My Favorite The design of these stencils that I didn't even know about are two different key designs. I love keys so it's nice to have some cute keys to choose from. Overall, while there are improvements that could be made, you really can't beat the number of designs you get for the price, even without repeats.

Pros
  • The stencil cavity can cover the original plastic, but this does not affect the use, you can easily clean it before use.
Cons
  • Something different
