Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - Embossing Paste Techniques


Time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop.  This month our theme is "Embossing Paste". I have to admit I don't use my Embossing Paste as often as I should!  I love the effect it gives.

When I made this card I wasn't sure it was going to work.  I decided to make the wings of the butterfly glimmery and look translucent using a Window Sheet with Shimmery Embossing Paste and a little bit of Fresh Freesia Re-inker.  Much to my surprise, the effect was beautiful!  Check it out!


Instructions - watch my YouTube Video for tips and tricks

  1. Cut Fresh Freesia cardstock 4 1/4" x 11" and score at 5 1/2".  Fold and burnish on scoreline using Bone Folder to form card base.
  2. Cut Fresh Freesia cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
  3. Emboss using the Beautiful Butterflies embossing folder.
  4. Cut out background butterfly and antennae from Fresh Freesia cardstock using Dies.
  5. Cut out detailed wings from Window Sheet using Die - you will have to run this through your Stampin' Cut n' Emboss Machine a few times to completely cut it out.
  6. Add a drop of Fresh Freesia re-inker to Shimmery Embossing Paste.  Mix together.
  7. Use a Palette Knife to apply Embossing Paste to the detailed wings die cut.
  8. Let dry completely.
  9. Adhere to background butterfly using Mini Dimensionals.
  10. Adhere antennae using Glue.
  11. Adhere butterfly to embossed cardstock using Dimensionals.
  12. Wrap seam binding around bottom and tie a bow.
  13. Adhere to card base 
  14. Stamp sentiment on Basic White cardstock using Fresh Freesia ink.
  15. Cut out using Paper Snips
  16. Adhere to card base using Mini Dimensionals.
  17. Adhere sequins
  18. Cut Basic White cardstock 4" x 5 1/4"
  19. Stamp butterfly in bottom right corner using Fresh Freesia ink.
  20. Adhere to inside of card.

I love how it looks like the butterfly is flying off the card!  Just using your fingers to gently pull the wings towards each other.

You can find all of the supplies for this card in my Online Store.
