What is the difference between regular stencils and Tim Holtz® Layering Stencil?

[Utah Ann]

This is a year where I want to stay away from buying new and to use what I have, lots have supplies have never been used.  I saw a tag made with one of TH's layering stencils and wanted to know what the difference is?

Thanks for any help.

Basically it is a regular stencil. But like other products each company adds it own name and sometimes twists their product a tad. Many of his techniques encourage one to combine parts of several stencils  Tim' stencils are in the shape of a tag with the stenciling area approx. 7"x 3.5 and have a hole punched in the upper corner so they can be stored on a ring if you like.  If you are close to a JoAnn store they sell them and you may want to take a look for yourself.

Thanks, and I do have a Joann's very close by, maybe too close.
