Fab technique to emboss our stencils - I had forgotten about it! Thanks for the reminder. Love this stencil. Will keep a look out for the next snippets. xxx💖💖💖
Thank you so much Tracy, I’ve watched this again, because I’ve brought the impressions pad and the silicone pad too, and I wanted to refresh my memory as to what I need to do. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤❤
The title got me. I have stencils, haven't used them yet,cause I'm not really a fan of stencils. But!! I like the way you're using them and I have to try it. Just got an idea,I have spray inks. I'm going to try the emboss,stencil on and spray ink instead of brushing it on🤔. See what I get. THANKS for Sharing. Have a great day! Love your ideas.
👏I had forgotten about this brilliant technique!! You get so much more milage out of stencils (and dies!) and the result is simply stunning! Very much looking forward to seeing these gorgeous backgrounds used in your next snippets!! Have a creative weekend! 🤗
Thank you so much Tracy, I really really enjoyed watching you create with your stencils in a different way. I really really love ❤️ both of these, but, I really really love ❤️ the one you did first it’s stunning too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags ❤❤❤
Thank you for sharing!❤ I've been looking at purchasing more embossing folders. Now I can save some money and just use my stencils. Absolutely beautiful!
Thanks so much for sharing this. I've had the silicone mat and impression pad for years but, never used because I was unsure how to use them. Now I look forward to getting them out and playing.
Good to be reminded of how stencils can be used in different ways. When I am using the stencil for embossing I lightly mist the front and back of the card. It makes for a deeper impression. Thanks for your tutorial.
Thank you so much for sharing this idea. I want to add a photo to the front of card and wondered how to recess a square so the photo would sit nicely into the recessed square. I hope this makes sense. xo
My pleasure, thank you for watching. To do something simply you could take an embossing tool and scoreboard and score lines onto the card to create a square and use the debossed or embossed side to add the photo inside the square 😘😘😘
Thank you for sharing; this technique is fantastic! It provides so much more versatility and embossing image options to choose from than just the 2D and 3D embossing folders from the manufacturers. I have quite a large collection of purchased stencils as well as make some of my own designs with craft plastic and my Cricut. Still trying to get the sandwich right for *hopefully* a deeper emboss on my Spellbinders Platinum. Thank you again. Love your stencil. I have to add it to my collection. Subscribing.☺☺🙏
@@tracyevans56 Thank you. I just tried to emboss a stencil while running your video. I ran it, paused to follow instructions, then continued the whole video. Since it didn't work for me. I'll need to ck the GSM and/or purchase the Sizzex Big Shot impression pads. This hobby is so expensive, and I'm trying to take it easy with purchases...☹️☹️☹️ and I still need to work on purchasing the ink pads...I have cheaper mini cubes and stamp pads. Let's see how this goes
I did. I used the metal plate, no going. I tried 2 sheets of cardstock, didn't work I then tried with the 2 Craftmaster Silicone mats, no going. LOL, I gave up. Just need to budget the Sizzex embossing mat for my next purchase. Thank you for your kind response and recommendations. It's truly appreciated.
What a wonderful technique! I always appreciate watching techniques that open our eyes to using our crafting supplies in various ways. Thank you!
Thanks so much 😘😘😘

@@tracyevans56 Big hugs to you as well😘🥰🤗😘. Heading over to your Facebook channel as well☺😉💖💖
@@calypsoul_life 😘😘😘
Thankyou for showing that 😃
My pleasure ❤❤
Wow, great idea! I wonder if spritzing the cardstock with water might give more options of what plates, etc, you could use?
So,e times spritzing with water beforehand gives a deeper emboss and stops the card from cracking too 😘😘
Sometimes even lol 😂
😇💖🙏🙌
Thank you 😘😘😘
I have the embossing mat but never heard of the impression pad! Looks amazing. Is it made by Sizzix?
Hi Caron yes made by Sizzix. I got mine from Amazon 😘😘😘
@@tracyevans56 thanks Tracy will get one and try it. 😘
What do you use if you don't have the impression pad? Can you use the regular top cutting plate? I have wanted to try this type of embossing.
You can experiment with combinations. As long as you don’t force things through you can try different combinations ❤
@@tracyevans56 thanks
What is the GSM of your paper, pls
300gsm 😘😘😘

@@HPNana- try a shim of card under the plate 😘
I did. I used the metal plate, no going. I tried 2 sheets of cardstock, didn't work I then tried with the 2 Craftmaster
Silicone mats, no going. LOL, I gave up. Just need to budget the Sizzex embossing mat for my next purchase. Thank you for your kind response and recommendations. It's truly appreciated.
@@HPNana- I know a lot of people experiment with different combinations of plates . I just found this combination worked for me 😘😘😘
I had forgotten that I own a silicon and expression mat! X
Lol lol 😂 😘😘
