Stencil Embossing Tutorial

Happy Thursday, everyone! Recently, I learned a fun thing that I wanted to pass along to everyone. A lot of collections now have stencils you can get to match the paper line. Check out Echo Park’s Vroom line. I used this stencil to create a cute embossed element on my card.

How fun is it to emoboss with these stencils?!?!

It’s super easy and the result is so fun. I still have an old school Cuttlebug but I know you can layer your Big Shot plates a very similar way.

What you will need:

  • Cuttlebug or Big Shot or similar machine
  • A plate
  • 2 B plates
  • A rubber mat (use extra shims if you don’t have a rubber mat)
  • Shim
  • Stencil

Layer your mats and stencil like below (my mats are well loved). You will build from bottom up. A mat on bottom, B mat, shim, rubber mat (or extra shims), paper, stencil, B mat. Run it through your embossing machine.

I used one of Lori’s nested star (Silhouette)cuts on my card as the embossed element.

Here is a close up of the embossed star with some added ephemera for layering.

And of course lots of dimensionals to give the card depth.

Thanks for stopping by and Happy Crafting!

Vroom Mini Album

Happy Monday, friends!  I’m glad to be back on Lori’s blog with a new project for you!  Today I used Lori’s adorable Race Car Box card file (SVG, Silhouette) and the new paper collection she designed for Echo Park called Vroom, to create a new mini album.  I also used one of my Artsy Albums acrylic albums for the perfect size book for gift giving. 

 

How cute are these race cars?  I love how the tires are separate and you can see the pattern paper peeking from behind.  I added enamel dots to the tires for an extra pop of color and shine. 

Inside the album I used papers from the 6×6 paper pad and some super cute stickers.  Isn’t that little road sticker fun?  I like how it jogs around the photos.
The 6×6 paper pad comes with a smaller version of the cards that are part of 12×12 sheets, so I used “Be Brave Little One” on the front of this flippie, and one on the front cover (see pic below).   

Any little guy or girl who is into cars and racing would love this album, so head over to my blog to see more pictures of this project and learn about the instructions I’ll have have in my shop soon!  Until next time, happy crafting friends!
