Dragonfly Dreams - With Embossing Paste


Hi there :o) Today I'm sharing the last card my ladies created at my Embossing Paste class last month.

This one used an Ombre technique. There are a couple of different ways to do this. We made three little piles of Paste on our Silicone mats and then added one drop of a different reinkers to each. The colours used were Pool Party, Marina Mist and Pacific Point. The colours were then each applied separately to the card.

A different way to do this technique is to just have one pile of Paste and use one reinker. Add one drop to start with, mix and apply it to the card. Then add another drop to the remaining Paste and apply. Finally, add another drop or two to the last of the Paste and apply. This gives a more subtle variation of colour, but also looks great :o)


We used the Dragonfly Dreams bundle for this card. I haven't really had a chance to play with this set yet, so it was great to dig it out for this card :o)

These are all the cards created in this class :o)

Badges & Banners - With Embossing Paste


This is another card from my Embossing Paste techniques class last month.

This technique is similar to the previous one I showed you except we used Copper Embossing powder instead of the Dazzling Diamonds glitter.


You may find that when you heat the embossing powder, the Paste puffs up a little. It tends to do this when you heat it while it's still wet. If you leave it to completely dry with the embossing powder on it and then heat it, it won't puff. I think it looks good either way :o)

Lift Me Up - With Embossing Paste



I ran a Class at the end of last month just for Embossing Paste techniques. 

We covered 13 different ways that you can use it - there may be more, but this was already a lot to cover in one class!

My ladies were able to try out most of them and at the end of the class, they used three of their samples to create cards.


This first card uses the Paste directly from the tub. We used it with the Clouds Mask and once this was removed, the Paste was covered in Dazzling Diamonds Glitter.

Once the excess Glitter was returned to its tub, the Paste was covered with Copy Paper and gently smoothed over with your hand. If your Paste is very new, this may not be necessary as the Paste is quite sticky. BUT as you get through the Tub and the Paste starts to dry out some, you will need to 'Press' the glitter into the Paste to ensure it's held there :o)
