Yeah, we use the GemTec stencil film.

Angie's been busy adding to her stock of designs today

Thanks John

I've not got any software for converting the images, so it's taking me a while to get some designs sorted

Have tried cutting all sorts of different things to make the stencils, but it looks like I'll need to bite the bullet and get the gem tec film

The GemTec stencil stuff is excellent for the job. It's also known as Sandblast vinyl available from most vinyl suppliers. I have found Xpres to be reasonable on price though.

The R-Wear software is hideously expensive in my opinion.

Well, it's 3 hours later and I've figured out how to do it in coreldraw

Don't ask me how though, yet!

Unfortunately, Gemtec stencil film is no longer produced by Xpres. What film do you use nowadays, John?

@Kaz, ive started to experiment with rhinestones a little using a cameo and silhouette software.

Paul did a video on here about making your own sticky flock, ive tried that and it does work well. (thanx Paul)..

I managed to get some mylar film for picking up the stones from the template, and for brushing in, i found the best tool was a cheap micro fibre type paint pad from a diy store.

still very much a learning curve tho

Might be an idea to start a new thread folks, this one is from 2010
