Hey everyone! I hope y'all had a decent weekend - I'm having a hard time believing we're nearing the end of November already.
I did a bit of experimenting for today's cards using some REALLY old (as in prolly 5+ years old which for pastes etc is a long time. I was honestly surprised it wasn't dried out when I opened it lol) translucent embossing paste. However my plan worked and in the video I give a couple of different options to create something similar without needing to deal with "as" much mess (honestly it wasn't that bad - I'm just clumsy and messy when I craft so it happens regardless).
I used Simon Says Stamp's Paver Blocks stencil and blended Hero Arts Unicorn White pigment ink, Candied Apple Distress Oxide ink and the new Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink over it onto Sea Glass cardstock.
I then added the (very old and somewhat goopy-textured) translucent embossing paste - THIS PASTE is a new and available option (that will have a much better texture b/c it won't be way past it's prime like mine was!). Once the paste was applied I sprinkled on Simon's Unicorn ultra fine glitter and Unicorn Confetti - so it's SUPER glittery.
I used CZ Design's Good Cheer stamp and die set combo for the sentiments on the cards. I white heat embossed the sentiments for all the card fronts and die cut the large ones with the coordinating wafer dies and trimmed down the smaller ones with my paper trimmer.
On the insides of the cards I stamped more sentiments from the Good Cheer set using the Candied Apple and Rustic Wilderness Oxide inks and that was it!
