There’s a minimum feature size of course but for the larger end of surface mount I’ve had good luck with a cheap craft cutter (silhouette cameo etc) cutting a stencil via vinyl sticker, one time use but for the prototyping stage nice and quick.

Laser etching plasticized Mylar (anti-static plastic bags electronics get shipped in) worked well too; because there’s a metal grid embedded in the plastic so you vaporize plastic but small features hold together.
