My Favorite Crafty Things: Embossing Paste & Stencils… Giveaways + Discounts

11.25.13

Welcome to Day 8 of My Favorite Crafty Things 2013! Today we are focusing on stencils and embossing pastes. (Be sure to visit this feature’s main page to see the other topics.)

I also have great giveaways (see below) and discount codes!

Note: Many of the products I have featured in this series are out of stock at these recommended stores. Please know that the owners are working very hard to restock quickly, but sometimes products are on back order from the manufacturer, etc. I assure you they are working on it… and working on carrying some of the products I mentioned that they currently don’t have. Stay tuned!

Time to share my favorite stencils and embossing pastes!

  1. With this video you changed my world of pastes and stencils. Love these products but had no idea there are SO many of them out there! And I love that you showed how suitable they are fro CAS (not only for mixed media).
    A have a lot of stencils. Used them mostly for scrapbook pages of mixed media projects. use them with pastes, paints, sprays.

  2. I use my stencils with sprays or if I want to go subtle, a foam applicator. I love the looks but it can get messy so I need to make sure I have plenty of time to play and clean up! With so many mixed media products on the market it’s really hard to try all the techniques out there. Thanks for sharing your favs!

  5. I love the Wendy Vecchi embossing pastes. It is so light, it adds no weight to your project. I have done art journal swap with five friends I met on a scrap site. I used stencils to add ink, spray, embossing paste for texture. Stars, sun, clocks, stripes. So many uses.

  25. Great Prizes! I haven’t used stencils much. I did take a class years ago on using embossing paste with metal stencils. I like the look and variety of techniques you can create with embossing paste. I was too impatient at the time to wait for things to dry though. LOL 😉
