Have you ever used our embossing paste – OMG – what a GREAT effect. We have two varieties – regular white embossing paste and the shimmery white embossing paste. In these samples I used the shimmery white and BOY DOES IT SPARKLE! Do you love sparkle but hate the mess of glitter – well we have so many options these days for glittery shine with out all the mess and this is definitely one of those! Well OK it’s a little messy but it cleans up with water and doesn’t have you sneaking into bed with glitter on your face only to give away the fact that you were crafting until way too late when your husband sees you in the morning LOL. (FYI – That has happened in the Gramley household before!)
Gather a few items for this project:
I used the Basic Patterns Decorative masks (#150697) – the polka dots pattern, Shimmery White Embossing Paste (#145645), the Pallette Knives (#142808) Basic White Cardstock (#159276), a reinker of your choice and matching cardstock (I used Coastal Cabana cardstock (#131297) and reinker (#131164)
I also used Bermuda Bay cardstock (#131197), Crumb cake cardstock (#120953), Coastal Cabana ink pad (#147097), Pool Party Sheer Ribbon (#152462) and Artistry Blooms Sequins (#152477)
Using the Silicon Mat, I adhere with old washi tape a Basic white cardstock piece measuring 4″ x 5 1/4″ and then adhered the Polka Dotted Mask from the Basic Patterns Decorative Masks (#150697) down so both would not shift while applying the paste.
Using an acrylic block I smeared some Shimmery White Embossing paste (#145645) onto the block.
Place two drops of re-inker or more to reach desired intensity of color (Two drops of the Coastal Cabana was plenty for the small amount I used (tip start with a small amount as the paste will harden over time and will just go to waste if you mix too much)
Mix together until blended with your palette knife.

Smear colored paste onto the mask and smooth until desired area is covered (can cover the whole mask or just a portion – you decide!)
Remove from under the mask and allow to air dry.
If you have left over take another sheet and smear until all used up.

I added the Pool Party Sheer Ribbon (#152462) around the pasted piece of cardstock.
Popped it up on Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) and adhered to a base of Crumb Cake cardstock.
Die cut a sentiment piece on Coastal Cabana from the Stitched So Sweetly die set (#151690) and stamp the sentiment in Coastal Cabana ink (#147097) from the Create with Friends (#156058) stamp set and pop up on Stampin’ Dimensionals (#104430) over the Pool Party ribbon.
Add the Artistry Blooms Sequins (#152477) to finish it off and hold the card up to the light to admire the sparkle!!
I adhered the smaller second piece to a Coastal cabana stamped Flowing Flowers tone on tone background.
I stamped the Thank You sentiment from the Flowing Flowers stamp set (#157880) and popped it up on Dimensionals.
I added artistry Blooms sequins to this card also!
I hope this inspired you to try this awesome and fun product! The possibilities and color combinations are endless! Now go and create some art of your own – one stamp at a time!
Happy Stampin’
