Much Ado About Paste!

Where is the summer going! Can it really be almost August!  I don't know about you, but the older I get, the faster the time seems to go! I'm up in beautiful northern Minnesota this week, getting a little "lake" time, hopefully the nights won't be too cold yet! 

This beautiful Christmas Borders stencil is perfect for a technique that is very popular with stampers right now, the triple layer technique, and the Pearlescent Embossing Paste gives it a wonderful, wintery shimmer.

Supplies:

Dreamweaver:
DWLJ922 Christmas Borders Stencil
DWDPP Pearlescent Embossing Paste

DWLM2010 Paste Spreader

Plus:

Neenah Papers Classic Linen Cover Red Pepper 80# 05847

Instructions:

1. Step 1:  Fold a piece of  6" x 9 1/4" red cardstock in half to form an A6 card
2. Step 2:  Cut three pieces of red cardstock, 1 - 4 1/4" x 5 1/2", 1 - 3 1/4" x 4 1/2", 1 2 1/4" x 3 1/2"
3. Step 3:  Use a small amount of dot roller or repositionable tape to layer the three pieces of red paper on each other, tape the stencil over the red paper
4. Step 4:  Apply Pearlescent Embossing Paste using a Palette Knife and Paste Spreader, remove and clean the stencil, let dry thoroughly
5. Step 5:  When the paste is dry, use an x-acto knife to carefully cut each layer apart, trim the largest red layer right along the edge of the paste (it should be 3 7/8" x 5 1/8")
6. Step 6: Cut three pieces of white shimmer cardstock, 1 - 2 1/2" x 3 3/4", 1 - 3 1/2" x 4 3/4", 1 - 4 1/8" x 5 3/8",  adhere the corresponding red layer to each, then adhere them to each other
7. Step 7:  Wrap a white, May Arts, ribbon around the layers and tie a bow
8. Step 8:  Attach pasted image to the front of the card

Because I'm traveling, I don't have access to the last list of team members sharing today, but if you hop on over to the Stampendous blog, you'll find the complete list!
