Hi All!

I hope you've been enjoying this stencil making series!

In this third episode of 2.0, I'm still using my Pages word processing software on my MacBook Pro and using just one shape to create a variety of swirls combined to make a stencil. I'll show you a super easy way to make this swirl design and then use that one swirl to create many different variations and put them together in one unique design. This design can easily be printed on card stock and cut by hand. However, I will convert my design just like I did in the last episode to my Cricut for a perfectly smooth cut stencil. This video is more about the finished design so you'll need to watch the previous videos in the series to learn in more detail how I did the conversion to import into Cricut.

In case you've missed any previous videos for this series, here's a link to the entire playlist so you can watch from the beginning:

I'm using a Cricut Maker and Samsill Plastic Craft Sheets for making stencils. Here are links:

If you're also using the Samsill Craft Plastic and a Cricut Maker, I wanted to share the material settings I came up with after lots of trial and error. I have the cut pressure set at 328, number of passes set at 3X with a fine point blade. I found that with these settings and then click on "more" pressure when you choose your material makes a perfectly cut stencil. In this video I'll show you once again how to add your own custom material.
