Studio Monday with Nina-Marie: What is Stencil Butter?

Hello there, friends! It’s Nina-Marie Trapani with you, and I have a comparison video to share with you. We’re going to be looking at the beautiful Stencil Butter from the Crafter’s Workshop.

This is a special, soft modeling paste that not only has vivid colors and a metallic finish, but its unique properties allow this paste to behave differently than other similar pastes. It also comes in many bright and bold shades, which are all linked at the bottom of this post.

One of Stencil Butter’s unique features is its opacity. This paste is completely opaque, which allows you to apply it over many surfaces – even vibrant backgrounds.

The paste is also so smooth (like butter!), that you can apply it with your fingers! The buttery finish of this paste reminds you of finger paint and makes it easy to apply through a stencil.

In the video below, I will go through some helpful comparison exercises with Stencil Butter, compared to other pastes such as the Tonic Studios Nuvo Embellishment Mousse and Picket Fence Paper Glaze. I’ll also be highlighting the unique properties each paste has.

All of these pastes can be used for the same techniques, but each will provide different results. So join me as we dive into these delicious pastes and discover why each one is so special!

these look gorgeous
Thank you for taking the time out to.do this for us.
Great breakdown of Stencil Butter and how it compares to other pastes—this really helps clarify when to choose one medium over another. I especially liked the point about its opacity and buttery texture; being able to apply it even with fingers opens up a lot of creative flexibility, especially for mixed media and layered backgrounds.
Comparisons like this are super valuable because many crafters struggle to understand the subtle differences between products like Nuvo Mousse and Paper Glaze, and your explanation makes it much easier to decide based on the finish and effect needed.
For those who also like exploring creative tools and useful online resources, I came across a helpful platform here: tnrginet.com — it offers insightful content that can support both digital and creative workflows.
Thanks again for sharing such a detailed and inspiring guide!
