Beautiful Card Designs Made Easy

Creating A Stencil from die cuts ...

Hi Every body,

Over on my  YouTube  channel today you will find the latest video from me and this one shows you how to use your die cuts as stencils with some embossing paste

The card to the right is the one I go on and complete in the video and add in the lovely Wild Orchid Crafts flowers around the oval shape

I love to make cards like these and I enjoy adding in all the finery to make it truly feminine with ribbons and pearls

I bought the embossing paste from the Craft show a few weeks ago but you can buy it in most craft shops or even on line if you don't have shops close by

It was not expensive and a little goes a long way.

I also made a second background but did not complete the full card so I thought I would show it to you here so that you can see how it looks.

I used Distress Inks to colour the paste and it is really bright and shiny

I have wrapped white ribbon around the layers and then added my water colored topper onto a  Scalloped Oval  from Spellbinders

I like both of these cards but they are for completely different generations.

I had fun making them and I hope you like the results.

  2. hi Christina, this looks like a fun project. Is the embossing paste the same as "Dala acrylic texture paste"?

  8. An awesome video and a great technique. Both cards are so pretty! I love embossing paste too. It's fun to use and your ideas for using die cuts with embossing paste create beautiful texture. Adding glitter to the wet embossing paste really adds more texture and dimension. Great job!

I purchased that molding paste oh.... I don't know... more than a year ago and have yet to use it. I must give it a go. Thank you so much for sharing. Enjoy a lovely crafting day. Big Hugs.

  16. Hi,Christina,
    What beautiful cards! I can't wait to watch the video to see you play with the paste. I've not tried it yet...not too sure why. I watched some YouTube videos on making your own, one method was using acrylic caulking. I think maybe I'll try with that first to see if I can do it right...then I'll treat myself to the 'real deal' :).

  18. Lovely cards! I really like the floral one. I'm going to buy some of these wonderful flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts - there's no way I'd be able to make anything like these and they'd probably take forever even if I could. Thank you for filming all these brilliant videos.
