Description

Do you ever wish your journaling was neater, more organised?  But wanted a little more Nature in your daily planning so has I.  So I created this Floral Stencil, why to be square when your Bullet Points can be little leaves or flowers, your dividers can be trails of plants, bringing some of the outside inside.

Designed just smaller than an A5 Journal in height, the 195mm x 122mm Page Stencils and the 195mm x 43mm Bookmark Stencils are made to slide perfectly into Stationery, Organisers, notebooks or Filofaxes. I spent a long time trying different thicknesses of Mylar before settling on 190 microns, which gave good strength but with useful flexibility. My stencil also doubles as a Book Mark in my journals too. If you want to understand more about how the thickness feels read further on in the description.

The stencil is designed with Flourishes, Bullet Sized Flowers, Trails of Plants, Flowers in Bloom, Dividers of Leaves.

About MYLAR®
Mylar® is food grade safe and solvent proof. Mylar® can be reused, when cleaned carefully, meaning it isn’t a single-use item. Although Mylar gets used as a generic term for stencils, I only use genuine Mylar® sheets so I can trust the quality of the product for cutting its lasting use. Plus, when you do want to dispose of your stencil (and I hope not for a long time) Mylar® brand, DuraLar TM sheets can be recycled.

What is a Micron? A micron is a unit of measure in the metric system. It equals one-millionth of a meter and one-thousandth of a millimetre. It is a shortened word for micrometre. The standard thickness for most Mylar Journal Stencils is 190micron which equals 0.19mm which might not mean much to you or me when using them. So here is a rough comparison guide. 80gsm is the average printer paper we use daily, 100gsm is roughly 125micron which is average letterhead paper. 160gsm paper is roughly 190micron which is between heavyweight paper and thinner card (it’s the sort of card that will go through a printer tray without needing to flat feed through). 300gsm is roughly about 350micron which is a standard card thickness, (like a birthday card), but being Mylar still has a little flexibility. Although Mylar micron is a global standard (to within manufacture tolerance), gsm (grams per square meter) thickness of paper/card can vary a little from country to country and even wood stock to wood stock so as I’ve mentioned these are rough comparisons.

So why is 190micron standard for Journal Stencils? This grade of Mylar is strong and sturdy but has enough flexibility to curve when getting to the centre of a bound journal, or round something that is curved. It is thick enough to last but thin enough to be stamped through or even airbrushed. This thickness allows finer details to be cut that are still durable. Thicker grade stencils are less flexible; they come with the restriction that finer details in intricate stencils cannot be cut due to their thickness, it also won’t curve into the bound edge of a journal as easily and cannot be used to curve round items. Thinner grade stencils are often used in arts and crafts for use in wall or furniture stencilling, but won’t stand to be reused as often as a thicker stencil, they also can’t hold too many fine details compared to the standard 190micron as the thinner support struts can tear easier.

I have spent time on the design trying to get as many little details as I can, that would work; this was so you didn’t end up with blobby stencils with no defined shape. I can’t recommend specific pens as there are many out there that will work perfectly with the stencil but do suggest fine line pens and pencils. If you look through the product photos you will see where I have used fine line pens to demonstrate the stencils in journals. Plus if you want to use paints or ink pads the Mylar can be wiped clean so there is no reason that these cannot be used. I hope this helps.

Just Paint and Dungarees
In 2014 I surprised my husband by saying that I wasn’t giving up, despite the fact I’d just been medically retired. I was going to take my crafting from a hobby to a business, and Spratt’s Designs was born. OK, let’s take a step back for a moment, and explain myself, or could that decision sound incredibly absurd, couldn’t it? After all, I didn’t just pluck that idea out of thin air.

Once a Crafter always a Crafter
Arts and Crafts were not new to me; I am a daughter of a builder/designer. Honestly, I think I was able to use a hammer before I even went to school. I was in my element creating art, I loved to draw and make things. Dyslexia runs in the family, and I suffer too, so subjects like languages were not my forte, this drew me onto the arts subjects side of studying throughout school. I also used Art as a way of escapism, losing myself in in my creative imagination.

Pride in Art
I was severely bullied, not only throughout my school years but into my adulthood too. Art became my solace, something I felt I had control of when I felt lost everywhere else. Art gave strength I needed to keep going, and this helped me mentally too. Knowing some of my creations that I have sold, have gone to forever homes helping others struggling with Mental Health, is wonderful to know and makes me feel very humble, and proud.

Past Lives
Before my big announcement to my hubby, well actually before I even met him, I had already been professionally crafting and creating art. In 1996 I qualified as a Stage Manager and landed a job in a regional theatre. As part of this role, I would design and manufacture sets for the stage as well as create hand and scenery props for many shows. All of which required me to use a wide range of artistic skills just to complete the requirements for a show. It was hard but very rewarding work and I loved it, making 3D Props, painting and even gold leafing.

Things Change
I honestly thought I would work in Theatre forever, but it wasn’t to be, I suffered an injury, which meant I was no longer fit for Theatre, so a change of career had to happen. This meant my arts and crafts went from being part of my everyday job to a hobby, only making gifts for friends and family.

Over 10 years passed, during that time I also got into graphic design and photography, taking part-time courses in both. However, my health was struck down several times, leaving me with a myriad of conditions to live with daily. I was then working as a Trainer, which I enjoyed. I was helping and teaching new skills and supporting others when my health deteriorated even more. This meant I could no longer work as a trainer; in fact, we are now back to where I was medically retired. A complicated mix of health problems were too much for my mainstream employers, and having good and bad days meant I needed to work more flexible.

‘I Can Do This’
I suffer from a major mix of health problems; I have good days and bad days, but every day I will attempt something. I am not someone who can lie there and just watch daytime telly, perhaps it’s that my hands don’t want to retire, but I’m not going to argue with that. It’s also why there is a wide range of crafts that I do, then on good days I can do the more challenging makes, then on bad days crafts that can be done while resting at the same time.

So bringing you back to 2014 and my big announcement to my husband, I was starting my own business. It may sound confident now, but I didn’t know if I could turn a hobby into a business or whether my health would permit me to, well I think I’m getting the answer now? The feedback I have had has told me that what I fall in love making, are fallen in love by their new families too. That lifts me up and drives me on to even more makes.

My Fairy on my Shoulder
I often get asked about my Fairy (logo), and the name Spratt’s Designs. Well, Spratt, I am by marriage, so it made sense to me to use a name I was proud to become. So to my fairy, well she is very special to me. I created her as a doodle, shortly after my mum passed away. She got tucked into a book for safe keeping and just sat there, out of sight out of mind. When I was sorting out my home office in the initial stages of getting my business going, she slipped out of the book and onto the desk. Well what else could I do, she wanted to be part of the business and what better logo could I use than my own Spratt Fairy. After four years she’s just had a little revamp (well we all need a makeover occasionally), in readiness for this new website, but she’s still with me, guiding me on.

Fairy after my Mother
I’m odd and I Love it
Me well I’m a very British artist, I’m inspired by what’s around me, it’s amazing what we see when we open our eyes. I must be doing something right for the rest of the world too, many of my creations have travelled and gone to places I would love to see myself.

I’m Eclectic I know, and in the future, I may streamline my creations for you to see more of a ‘brand’. In each creation, I sell a little bit of my creative love in everything I do and hope that goes on as long as I do.

Thank you for reading my story, I hope you enjoy your wander around my website, feel free to browse and if you do buy one of my creations, it will be a pleasure to package it up, knowing it’s are going to its new forever home.
