Here are a few by Fiskars - Shape Template Letters that come in upper and lower case, with numbers also, and are meant to be used as a system with a Fiskars Shape Cutter and Cutting Mat. Using the Shape Cutter System, you can actually cut paper and card stock without scissors and use the cut out letters to embellish on your scrapbook pages. They are about 1/8 inch heavy plastic and are designed to fit into a three-ring binder for storage. 
Other kinds of font stencils are available like those shown below that can be used to trace letters directly to the scrapbook paper with pen or pencil. Or they can be traced and cut with a craft knife or small scissors for use on your page.
