SU! Embossing Paste - Technique Club

So my Technique Clubs were so much fun this month as we worked with Stampin' Up's! new embossing pastes.  These are amazing and a little addictive to work with.   Below is a sampling of the plain white paste added to some colored cardstock.  It was much easier to work with than I thought it might be - the key though is 1) to have a tub of warm soapy water on the table to through the stencils and tools into as soon as you are done using; and 2) to be sure to keep the lid tightly on the paste when not in use - as it dries out pretty quickly.

Below is the Technique instruction card with the little sample that each lady made to put on it.  We used the Shimmer paste for this card - and added several drops of re-inker to make it colored - then applied the same as above and let dry.

 

So here is a sample of the same shimmer paste used with the lattice stencil - and then I popped up the sentiment and mermaid from the Magical Day Bundle.

 And yet another sample with the Magical Day bundle - but this one used the Silver paste - which is a bit different than the others.  I love how it looks, but 1) it is a little bit more liquidy to work with - works, but just thinner in consistency; and 2) it takes about 30 min to dry as opposed to the 10 min with the white and shimmer.  So although I really love the look - we did not do at a workshop.

 

And here is the same card from an angle so you can see the texture of the bricks - as well as the dragon and knight popped up on dimensionals.

This is really fun to work with - and like I said a little addictive.  The extra texture on the cards make them truly pop - and all for very little effort.  Just a little patience.  Hope you like what I've shown  you - let me know if you have any questions on the paste or any other SU products!  If you live in the Prescott, AZ area and are interested in joining one of my Technique clubs please contact me and I'll get you all the details!  ~Maureen

Club - Stenciled Treat Bag

At Club we made this FUN little Halloween treat bag.  SU! sells these little treat bags flat in the catalog but with a few quick scores and maneuvering, you can come up with this adorable little treat bag/box :), that will sit flat on your table.  We did the stenciling using the dots from the masks in the Holiday catalog, and using the stamping sponges to add Memento Black ink.

The bag was scored 1" in from each end - using the lower zig-zag edge as your starting point (guess it's about 1 1/4" from very end on the left. 

Then just reach in and flatten bag at score line, fold the corner pieces (triangle shaped) in and adhere to the bottom of the bag to form a rectangular base for your creation.

After that we added a vertical Belly Band, couple little flagged pieces.  We stamped the top flag with a sentiment and that cute little spider - and the orange glitter gave it the needed "bling"!  Fill your bag with treats (or money as was suggested by a Club Member - lol) and staple all together at the top with some twine for a bow. 

How's that for ease and fun - for a Happy Halloween!!  ~Maureen

September Technique Club - Plastic Film Stencils

So, for our September Club I had a customer interested in our Seasonal Decorative Masks (pg 43 of our Holiday Catalog).  So I decided to do a class featuring our masks, but that would also show them how to use other stencils.  Here is the technique instruction card we made for in their binders - excuse the date correction - that was only on mine and I printed it correctly on theirs :)

We stenciled the diagonal stripes in Real Red for our technique instruction card - to mimic the look of candy canes.  Below are the four masks that you get in the kit for only $6.00, and they show an example of each of the stencils on cardstock.

One more picture from the catalog showing some more examples of the cardstock inked.
                             

Over the next few posts - I'll show you what else we made using these great masks and the stenciling technique.  Be sure to stop back and see!!!  ~Maureen
