**VIDEO+GIVEAWAY** Working with Embossing Paste & Embossing Powder

April 25, 2019

Happy Thursday! If you have been following me for a long time, you already know that I am a HUGE fan of embossing pastes and love working with them. It is so exciting to see when a company I love comes out with a new product I will get to use often – and Altenew just came out with their own embossing paste!

I made a clean and simple project featuring a technique where you use embossing paste and embossing powder together. Check out the video tutorial below for step-by-step instructions:

 

Mixing embossing paste and coloring mediums were always my go-to technique to do, but this was a nice change for me to play with embossing paste differently by using embossing powder.

When you add just a bit of texture on the background to work with your focal point, it really brings out the focus of the card nicely. On this card, I decided to highlight the washi taped die cut pieces using a brand new washi tape and it’s coordinating die set.

I love the fact that you can save so much time on cutting these washi tape images out using a die set. All you have to do is add washi tape to a cardstock, place dies on top, and run it through the machine!

These wide washi tapes are perfect to create multiple die cut elements, so you can save those for future projects or make multiple projects at one time.

Let’s talk about the embossing paste a bit. I love that this embossing paste comes in a big tub, which lasts through many many projects! It is bright white, lightweight, and is nicely whipped, making it very easy to apply.

Look how the raised, heat embossed background works nicely with the die cut washi tape pieces. It totally brings out the color of the flowers, don’t you think? I love how the gold power melted on top of the embossing paste, creating a wonderful metallic texture.

I strongly suggest utilizing products that make it easier for you to craft and create something beautiful to share. Enjoy experimenting with different mediums and have fun playing with them.

It’s hard to make a choice between all of the release! I love the best outline tape which could be colored. Then there is the luscious green washi, which rekindled me of the hibiscus dies and you might be able to use the dies there to cut leaves: then the real tape, how pretty is that tape and it’s all set to use dies to make things easy! Then messy time with embossing paste, coloring it with ink, glitter mouse, it’s endless! Love it all especially your card! I just want to play !!!

To prevent the embossing paste from bubbling, you can give it some time to dry before melting the powder using the heat tool.

    Good morning and happy Saturday lovlies!! 👋🏻👋🏻 I just realized my last post about 3-4 months ago was a glance at my studio. Lots of things happened in the past few months and Ive been just too stressed out that I lost my desire to craft. 😣Its been a rough yr for everyone and Im ready for a new start! 😍 Are you?? Im going to start working towards getting some routines where I can feel better and add creativity back to life. Why wait till Jan? We can start now 💕

I just moved and finally got around to finishing up my studio. Im such a perfectionist that it took me a while to get everything where I wanted. 😅 Im happy how it turned out and grateful that I can still have a place to work and craft. Im excited to share projects with you soon 🥰🥰🥰

    Took a couple of days off this week to recharge - mental break helps a lot! 👍🏻 While I enjoyed stay-home break, I finished swatching all of #danielsmithwatercolors - now I’ll build my own palette from these and start doing some watercolor with them. Seeing all these made me really happy 🥰🥰 Swatching watercolors are one of my fav ways to distress. What creative projects are you working on this weekend?? #watercolorswatches #watercolor #danielsmithwatercolor #danielsmithartistsmaterials #colorswatches

    I decided to do something new and challenging during this #stayathome time. Took a beginner calligraphy class by @piecescalligraphy and I cant believe how fast 90min went by!! 😍😍 I have a lot of practice to do but really enjoyed learning. These are some of the things we did. My p’s are pretty horrible 😂😂 Cant wait for the next session!

    Happy Monday everyone- 💕💕 I was itching for a change so the other day I moved things around a bit in my studio. (This happens more often than not 😂) Even just a tiny bit of change can bring a big difference and give a fresh feel to your daily norm. Controlling what we can and not losing hope 🙏🏻 I wish you a fabulous and lovely week ahead 💙

    More therapeutic watercoloring session - I find taking the time to color each image with watercolor really helps me to relax. I think it has to do with a slow moving, soft transition of the pigments and water.

This card was made using a brand new #altenewstatementflowers stamp set and #altenewspringgarden
