Have you been watching my 12 Days of Christmas video series? I have been sharing a new project every day from December 1-12. See the video archive.
Earlier this week, I featured Embossing Paste. I have to admit that I had never completed a card using embossing paste, so it was a little bit of a challenge for me! And I learned a lot! Here are the cards that I made.
For the first card, I used the Basic Pattern Decorative Masks to create a background with the embossing paste. I added a colored image from the Gnome for the Holidays stamp set.
Embossing Paste is also a fun way to add "snow" texture to a winter-themed card like this In the Pines card that I created. I add the embossing paste to the tree die cut as well as the die cut snowhill. Allow the embossing paste to dry completely before you assemble the card.![Stampin' Up!

Watch the replay to see how I made these cards.
Here are some more tips from viewers:
- My embossing paste was definitely thicker than it should have been. In hindsight, I would add more water! The consistency should be creamy.
- Keep the foil cover intact (don't remove it) and use it to re-seal the package when you're done.

Use a piece of saran wrap across the top of embossing container before you put on lid, that helps to keep it fresher for a longer time.
