On this blog post I will share some embossing techniques with decorative masks.

Two of the decorative masks from the Plenty of Patterns set from Stampin' Up were combined with some embossing techniques to create two cards.

This is the second Live I have done featuring the Plenty of Patterns decorative masks and we have explored some different ways you can utilise this tool in your crafting. They are such a versatile addition to your crafty stash.

Embossing Techniques with Decorative Masks

This card features a heat embossed pattern created with the Plenty of Patterns decorative mask. The card also features a character from the Party Puffin stamp set from Stampin' up.

For this first card, I used the broken glass style mask and used scrap paper to mark off the area I didn’t want to use. I then dabbed Versamark ink through the remaining mask area and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

To accompany this black and white look, I added a Party Puffin and his birthday fish.

This card has used coloured embossing paste and a decorative mask, twinned with Stampin' Up's Timeless Tropical stamp set.

This second card features a strip of Basic White onto which I have stencilled Magenta Madness flowers using Embossing Paste that I have coloured with ink refill. The colour has turned out a little more Flirty Flamingo, but it is fun to experiment with quantities of ink.

To accompany this floral strip, I have stamped and coloured some Tropical Blooms from the Timeless Tropical stamps set, which were cut out with the coordinating dies.

You can see both these cards being created on this recording of my Live.
