Stenciling with Embossing Pastes and Gels


Hi Everyone.  Prior to starting our Group of Seven Cardmakers blog, our group kept in touch during Covid and started trying out new and (revised) older techniques.  We are including them as a reference for those that are interesting in trying them out.

June 2021

Supplies:
  • Stencil
  • Various mediums (Embossing Paste, Embossing Gel, Nuvo Drops, etc.)
  • Palette Knife
  • Background card (any white or coloured card stock or background made with inks / paints)
  • Masking, removeable, or washi tape

Technique Instructions:

  • Secure background with tape (underside) to solid / hard surface, especially if background or stencil is not flat
  • Place stencil over top and secure with more tape
  • Use palette knife to lift paste from jar.  Place at top of stencil.  Spread downwards until stencil (or area of stencil) is completely covered.  Do not over-work the paste.  With palette knife or stencil pal on 45 degree angle, lightly go over paste to remove any excess, leaving a smooth coat.  Return excess paste to jar.
  • Remove stencil, please in container of water or wash right away before paste hardens.
  • Let card dry before making into a card.
