- Got stencils and alcohol markers? This tip is a twofer, it gives you more use for your stencils and blending practice with your alcohol markers! Stencils are cheaper and smaller to store than stamps and you can get a similar look for your cards. Let's create!
Supplies:
White cardstock (smooth) amzn.to/3K7Oe0u

Loved this, creative ideas to practice drawing, linework, & using supplies. Glad you had to “justify” your $1.00 purchase! Win-win !
Outlining the flower really punched up the image. I love what you did with the macarons, and the cake and the cupcake.....💛
I got bored of making cards too, so now I use most of my stuff for mixed media journals.
Cool idea! Beautiful cards! 🎨🌸
LOL. If I did videos there would be stray flute, trumpet, and snare drum in the background. LOL. Three out of four of my kids are in the marching band. LOL.
Love this idea. Going to try it later today
Great idea - another good frugal Friday!
It is great to see you making cards again. I have missed that. Great idea.
Nice technique; I love these cards.
I love this Lindsay...thanks for the tips!
Getting out my stencils & markers after seeing this. Thanks for
I have never used my alcohol markers with my stencils. Great idea!
You are killing it this week with the creative juju! I love this idea!
Aww! Thanks so much!
Thanks for doing this video. I have so many stencils and it never occurred to me to use the like this. Great way to quickly make some cards.
Great idea! Gives us a whole new way to look at our stencils! And make use of them. Thanks for this video- I can’t wait to try this technique!!
What a great idea, thanks for sharing
And this is why you are the amazing frugal crafter 🥰🥳⭐️🙋🏽♀️!!!
I love the way this turned out!
Thanks for sharing this!!
Looks like fun!
I'm always excited for frugal Friday's and Sat chats! Bring on the weekend!
Yes! It's been a long week!
What a great idea! Tfs
Gotta go check out my stencils now. Never thought to use them this way.
Great idea! Love the macaron stencil!
OMG Lindsay! This solved my issue with the Honey Bee six stencil flowers in a vase issue. Thank you! 🤩🥰👍🏾
Yay!
Excellent!!!! So fun and I learned a bit more about markers, they still scare me!😳
This is a new idea for me! I love it, and your work! Thanks Lindsay. Have a great week!🤗
Well you may not have a lot of card making inspiration lately - but this gave me a bunch of ideas. Thank you!!
Great ideas for the millions of stencils I have collected. LOL
Great idea! Very pretty and it wouldn't take long to do. It's been a long week so this was a nice video to try to get back into routine with. And it's wonderful you have a guitarist in the family. I've played about 50 years and still learn a lot and enjoy it. Thanks for sharing.
Trouble maker Lady L! Now I gotta skip work to practice these techniques🤣🤣
Neat idea stencils and markers! Never thought of doing that. I was waiting to hear your daughter’s guitar in the background but could not hear a thing, LOL.
I never thought to do this with stencils. I will be trying it!
Neither did I. I have loads of stencils and have only used a few as they are with the difference pens and pencils I have. I will get them all out and have a go at this brilliant idea, thanks.
You have been an inspiration for many years! You have given me the helping hand to experiment!
I really loved this video. Thank you for sharing. It is a great alternative and technique. You are correct, I would not have thought of that myself, but the cards turned out really well.
Wow Mrs.Lindsay, these are real pretty and simple cards! I adore them!! I am gonna make a card or two, so thank you!!😄👍✍😊👋💝
Such a great idea! I have loads of stencils but never thought of using them with alcohol markers!!! Simply BRILLIANT :D :D :D Happy crafting!
Learned a new technique! I just love what you teach. Thank You 🎉❤😊
I love this. Thank you for sharing your creativity and skills/talent😍
Excellent idea! I think the coffee/sweet set is absolutely adorable! May have to bend my "no buy" rule just this once! Thanks for sharing! Janet 💕
I absolutely LOVED it. I just got the markers and already have a ton of stencils. I cannot wait to play. Thank you!
I love this video!! I HAVE SO MANY STENCILS THat i dont use and now Im excited to get them out again! Thank you for sharing and much love 💙💚💜
Love this idea!!!!! I am digging out my huge stencil stash & try it. Thank you
I just bought alcohol markers. I haven't tried them yet. This is a great idea😁
Hullo Lindsay! Wonderful stencil tutorial! I am truly enjoying your mantra of use what you got! Fits in so well with frugal Friday! Thank you for sharing your tremendous imagination and joy in creating art projects for all of your viewers!
Thanks!
Great tip! I'll look at my stencils with new eyes!
What a great idea. I can't wait to try it!
Hi Lindsay. I got the same stencils at my Ocean State Job lot here in Massachusetts. What a nice surprise to see supplies I actually have on a video. Thanks so much for the great ideas for ways to use the stencils. Gotta love Ocean State. You never know what cool bargain you're going to find there.
The stencils are cute. Although I don’t use stencils or markers , I enjoyed seeing the really cute cards.
This is a great technique. But I do loathe coloring with a passion. My daughter likes it though. I was showing her how to blend and how hard I thought it was. She said it's not hard just tedious and you gotta be fast. She also said it would be good to do while visiting or watching a movie. Neither of which I like to do. Being an introvert with ADD. ME: " Hi , how's it going ? Ahuh, yup, that's too bad, oh good for you... oh look at the pattern of those dust particles in that sunbeam... oooo I need to damp dust. Lol. I'll show this to my daughter! Thanks Lindsay 💜
I often use my markers with stencils simply because this is how we were taught to use the stencils in the school. Of course we used the sketch markers in the school and shapes were simple. I don't do a lot of blending though because I am a lazy crafter. 😊😉
Great video!
Fabulous ideas Lindsay. Looks so pretty. Love when you find bargains too. TFS.
Smart idea Linsey -. Definitely a way to stretch supplies already have! Thanks!
I would never have guessed the cupcake, macarons or the cake were stencils. I can’t draw to save my life, but this could give me the look without the ability. Thanks.
Great idea! I have plenty of stencils, so this fits well into my card making! Far less to bring with when I go on vacation! Thanks Lindsay
This is genius! Thanks!
So colourful❤
Great technique and thank you so much for showing another way to use the Celtic Mandala! Such cute cards.
Hi really enjoyed that video.....I've a set of markers but never knew they could blend so well duh !!!! Loved the macaroons stencil 😀🤗😀
Those markers may be cheap, but they did an incredible job. Well I guess I should say you did an amazing job. These look incredible
Thanks for tip. Love your cards! Moved into neighborhood where we celebrate bday alot. Wish had cupcake stencil
Thank you! This was really useful, since I bought some inexpensive alcohol markers, and I don't really know what to do with them! And of course I have a ton of stencils. Great tutorial!
Thanks!
These cards are beautiful and so professional looking. Those markers are on my wishlist.
I love this idea...put my markers to work!
Brilliant! Thank you so much. xo
Thanks. I have some self adhesive stencils that I never use because I didn't realize they were self adhesive when I bought them. I can't wait to try this. Great deal on the stencils!
This is a great technique. I use my markers with stencils. I also use my watercolour paints sometimes as well. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent with us. Love to all - Dawn
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
Lindsay, Beautiful idea! I think you could use older stencils that don't cooperate well with ink pads. Very frugal. Thank you.
That’s a great idea. Now I want more stencils but will use what I have. I think I’ll try my small sun’s rays stencils.
That is a brilliant udea, also have a die like that that i can use as a stencil 👍
Great idea, Lindsay! I will look for these stencils the next time I’m at Job Lot.
They had a ton!
@@thefrugalcrafter I’m in line waiting for the store to open.😂
I have a ton of stencils but generally use them for backgrounds.
Not thought to use them for a focal point.
Tfs
Always had trouble with bleedthru, but I used pre-made cards and maybe my water based, too. Was thinking about trashing my stencil expanding file! Now, I have to try this first. Thanks!
I love this idea, will definitely give it a try! Thanks Lindsay!
Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial! I ended up getting around 120 markers from Temu just to see what all the fuss was about. Your tutorial really helped me understand why everyone is so excited about alcohol markers. They are so much easier to use compared to painting markers. By the way, I couldn't hear the guitar in the background, but that wouldn't bother me because I love music. You are incredibly talented at drawing. Sending love and best wishes from Phoenix, AZ! 🤗❤️
Thanks 😊
I am a stencil addict, so I have a cazillion stencils; but never thought to use my markers with the stencils. I will be taking out my stencils and markers and can't wait to play with them. :)
Beautiful. I have drawn around the stencil then colored it in but didn't think to leave it in place.
Hey Lindsay, great idea! I'm going to try this... I have all these alcohol markers and hardly ever use them.. and a load of stencils! TFS!
I was thinking I don’t have many image stencils, but a quick flip through my collection & I see I have many more than I thought. I usually go for patterns & geometric stuff but I have plenty of images too.
One of my favorite stencil techniques is spreading texture paste over the top and then using colored pencils once the paste has dried. I was thinking it might be fun to try alcohol markers on top of the paste while watching you color.
I’ve heard repeatedly that alcohol markers and acrylics shouldn’t be combined but I’ve never heard why. Alcohol markers certainly write over acrylic mediums just fine.
Tracey Scott just did a month long series on simple coloring with stencils though slightly different than your idea. Trace the outline of the image then color. But she finished with black & white pen work too. And then colored the backgrounds black so the contrast with the color really pops.
Alcohol dissolves acrylic so it can be absorbed into the nib. I'd use hard nibs (not brush) if you wanted to do that and scribble it on scrap paper to remove any acrylic after. You can use alcohol marker of heat embossed images tho.
OMG, i have markers, but i rarely use them, too scared and to bad at it, but this is a FAB idea, LOVE it, going to do that today, i have the perfect stencils and dies (i can use as a stencil, and even as a diecut and color in between) to use that i have also hardly used. Wow this makes me so happy and inspired. Thx soooo much for yet again an amazing video 🥰😁👌
What a awesome idea!! I have never thought of going this!! I will give it a try!! This was very helpful!! Thanks so much for sharing!!
Thank you. That is an great idea. I have some larger stencils cause I buy the size wrong on Amazon. Until now didn't have a glue what to do with that.
Thank you Lindsay❣️ I will take a new look at my stencils. I am so impressed with the ease of masking with stencils. I am officially motivated. I love those macarons. I hope my Ocean State has them . Are you going to the Stamp Show in Springfield this year? It seems to be under a new name. There doesn’t seem to be quite as many vendors as back in the day, but I feel like I want to support the convention so that it might continue to grow in the future.
No, my twins are graduating that weekend. Have fun!
Hmmm… have to look through my stencils to see what can use
Genius and creative! Do the marker tips get frayed with the edges of the stencils? Also, can those sticky stencils be re-used? I have been hoping you would post some cardmaking tutorials. YAY! Thanks!
Yes they can be reused. They are plastic. If they get less sticky you could wash them. I think brush tips could fray if you aren't careful but hard tips like bullet or chisel should be fine.
Well I'll be!! I should never have thought to use markers with stencils - brilliant! ❤️👏🏻❤️ Thanks Lindsay, and thank you for the technique label of "priming" - it's one I use but didn't know what it was called. Would it be useful at all to prime with a blending marker first? I use the blending markers a lot to lift colour when I want brighter highlights, but have not thought to use them to prime.
If you are doing a really light color. On darker colors priming with a clear blender can make the ink speckely.
LOL Von.. I never did either!
@@thefrugalcrafter thanks Lindsay! Good to know. ❤️😘 (See! THIS kind of stuff is why I keep asking for a marker class!! 😂) 🤗❤️
@@gaila.c.602 You can sit in my corner Gail!! lol 🤗❤️
@@Via_Von I would love a marker class too. I am always looking up marker classes.. I could only find one I think it's called kit and clowder. She has free marker classes on UA-cam. Her coloring is amazing. She does marker and pencil classes you can pay for. One day I might do that but until then her free tutorials are very informative. Only con for me is she is all about copics and I can't afford those. She says you can use other sets of markers but I find it easier to follow a tutorial when I have the Same markers. I love how Lindsay uses so many budget markers . If she ever does a(frugal lol,) marker class I think it would be well received she's a great teacher. 😀
Great idea! My youngest daughter has stencils that came with a crayola craft set and I was wondering what to do with them!
Perfect!
Re: alcohol markers: we will likely be seeing some new competition in the high-end alcohol marker market. Watched some of the vids for NAMLA Creativation 2022. A brand named OLO is coming out with a “modular” alcohol marker that you can do some customizing with. (Estimate of ready to ship is July 2022.) You can choose both ends as chisel or brush if you like, etc. They use a prefilled ink cartridge system for refills and they claim these ink cartridges give you more ink than the traditional injected ink fill system currently used (Copic) so that you don’t need to a refill as often. So ok, you have to pitch the empty cartridges, but you keep the marker body and every other part is replaceable. They say these will retail for $6.99 per marker. I didn’t see a price for the ink refill cartridges. I don’t see any prices on individual colors right now. I’m sure it may take some time for them to offer individual colors. These markers would be an investment purchase as the entry level set sells for $100 (all the sets are offered on their website at less than full retail preorder price currently.)
I saw that. Looks intersting.
I need to practice more. I'm never satisfied with my blends, and I use Nuvo sets of 3, so they should blend seamlessly. 🙄 user error, I'm sure!
It takes practise. Yellow Greens blend easier so try some leaves.
i hope its ok to tell you art whale tubes 24 set are on sale again on amazon i got my 4th set ,thats less than $1,00 a tube i got my first one for 35,00 and the others have been 21,00 im exited to get them ,no i dont need more but its so nice to get good paints for little money,great art you made today
I saw! I am thinking of getting another set but also I have so much paint its kind of silly 😆
Great tip, um don’t have stencils, well apart from alphabet (kids used to use on projects) himmm think I should buy me some. Each time I see them on Ali Express going cheap I think when would I use them, lol know I so know.
Dollar Tree has some good stencils too!
@@ClaudiaMiller live in NZ no dollar tree. Stencils and stamps are very expensive here, Ali Express is cheap but takes forever I’m impatient guess I will have to wait though. You guys get some pretty amazing stencils, we have letters and well animals usually from Africa. Didn’t know you could get flowers and pretty patterns until I watched Lindsay, yep safe to say I have stencil and stamp envy.
@@paulalister80
You can make great cards by using letter stencils :)
I truly enjoyed this video very much. I use stencils to trace usually a fine pt pen..black or blue then color. I 'll try your method. Loved the blending you made it so simple.. great idea. All I have are crayola markers, some ink pads, colored pens/penciled and acrylic paint. And many stencils. Would this work with brass stencils with fine point markers? Thus was cool. Tyfs 😎🌻
It should work fine!
I wonder how this would work with screen stencils only because I have some.
I'm not sure
Do you worry the edges of the stencil will tear up the tip of the marker? Or maybe that's why you're using cheap alchohol markers? Lol. Idk! But as always your videos are very informative and I've learned alot from you since recently subscribing. Thanks for the priming tip. It makes sense and was very helpful.
If you use a hard tip you should be fine.
I wonder if this would work with layering stencil s?
Probably
After watching this I started looking through my stencils and I found this set of 8 round floral stencils that I bought on Amazon after seeing yours.LOL guess I should use them????? Would they work on your round paper pads??
They should!
What is your opinion on these markers compared to Arteza? And the price point?
They are very similar to the bullet chisel arteza but the Artezas are juicier. These are much cheaper tho.
Arteza are about $1 a marker an these are about 33 cents.
👍✌️🙏❤️
Silly question can I use the watercolor markers? And what does hack on art supplies? Im kind of slow. Lol
A hack is a new, quick or different way to do something. You van use waterbased markers. Go for hot press watercolor paper or Bristol board tho.
Ok thank you so much. You are helping me so much and I am so happy to learn. Hugs
....wait.... you can send normal stencils thru a die roller? 😨
Yes, us a silicone or rubber mat. The paper goes between the stencil and the rubber mat.
