Metric Mayhem - A6 Stencil

Add Precision and Character to Your Designs

The Metric Mayhem A6 Stencil from Bee Arty's Measured Moments Collection brings the charm of vintage measuring tools to your papercrafting projects. Designed by Karen Louwen, this clever stencil features detailed ruler markings in both centimetres and inches, creating the perfect backdrop for documenting life's measurable moments.

Why Metric Mayhem?

This beautifully detailed stencil showcases authentic ruler markings with bold numbers (1, 2, 3, 4 along the top; 10, 11, 12 in the middle; 6, 7, 8, 9 below; and 1 to 6 in cm measurements at the bottom). The precise tick marks and varied number sizes create visual interest whilst maintaining that authentic measuring tape aesthetic. It's perfect for adding a maker's touch to your handmade cards, scrapbook layouts, art journal pages, and mixed media projects.

Versatile Design Applications

Use this stencil to create borders that frame your focal images beautifully, or layer it across backgrounds for an industrial, workshop-inspired look. The ruler markings work wonderfully for documenting growth charts, milestone cards, recipe pages, or any project where you want to celebrate measurements and progress. Try rotating the stencil to create interesting grid effects, or use just portions of the design for subtle accent details.

Perfect for Layering and Texture

Build up dimension by blending inks through the stencil for a soft, vintage effect, or use embossing paste to create raised ruler markings that beg to be touched. The detailed tick marks look stunning when heat embossed in metallic powders, giving your projects a professional, polished finish. Pair it with distress inks for a weathered, well-loved measuring tape look.

Compact A6 Size

At A6 size, this stencil is perfect for smaller projects, card fronts, and detailed accent work. The durable material withstands repeated use with various mediums whilst remaining flexible for easy positioning and storage.
