Welcome to my Corner of the World

At a recent class I was asked by my card crafting ladies to share how to use the two types of Embossing Paste that Stampin’ UP! offer. It is a fun product to work with and while you can use any of the ready made masks/stencils available in the catalogs, it is fun to make your own! I used the Split Card Texture Dies to create mine then added some heat embossing on vellum and a little vintage’ing as well – so today’s card is packed with techniques!

December 25, 2018December 24, 20188 Comments

Welcome to the 5th Ink & Share Scrapbook blog hop, I am delighted to be taking part again. We are group of international Stampin UP! demonstrators sharing our ideas and creativity with you.

You will have either arrived from Shirley Mercer’s post or starting here ~ either way WELCOME. This month’s theme is Embossing ~ there are different types of embossing, dry embossing which uses Embossing Folders along with the Big Shot, Powder Embossing which uses embossing powders and a Heat Gun and Embossing Paste – so I had quite a decision to make on which to choose.

Once again I have chosen to use a 12 x 12 page – mainly because Stampin’ UP! has 12 x 12 card stock in all its colors which gives me a fantastic choice but also because they have the 12 x 12 Page Protectors and Albums.

I wanted a really striking birthday card and used the Silver Embossing Paste on the Night of Navy Card. As soon as I had finished the birthday version ‘ Christmas’ shouted out to me! I made a second one and sprinkled some Dazzling Diamonds Glitter over it before allowing it to dry.

When the 2017 – 2018 Annual Catalog was launched in June there was a new product tucked away on Page 201 ~ Embossing Paste! It was on my first order and I was so excited when it arrived, however I was also excited about the other goodies that arrived in the same box! I set aside the pot of paste and to be honest it went from my mind – especially as Christmas themes started.

I was tidying my workbench (it happens….. rarely but it does happen!) and there was the pot of Embossing Paste waiting patiently for my attention. What fun I have had with this product, as I explored what could be done with it I thought a few video’s would be fun to share. Here is the second of my series where I will share how to Heat Emboss your Embossing Paste! Continue reading →
