I’m in love with this stamp set. And for some reason (even though she’s not a fan of pink), this card always makes me smile and think of my teenage daughter. When did she grow up and get to be a teenager, anyway? No matter the age, the Quirky Critter stamp set is one of my favorites from the new Stampin’ Up! catalog.
Love the background? I used the new Embossing Paste and the Pattern Party Decorative Masks, also from the new catalog that debuted in June. The clouds are a perfect pattern for using with the paste. Whether you get the paste exactly smooth or have a little texture, the effect is terrific.
Meg’s Steps for Using Embossing Paste:
- Place the Decorative Mask of your choice on the card stock.
- Use a palette knife to take Embossing Paste from the container and spread it across the template.
- Use palette knife to smooth paste and remove excess back to the container.
- Close Embossing Paste immediately and wash both decorative mask and palette knife immediately.
This last one is pretty important. Even though I made 30+ of these cards for a demonstrator swap (I’ve been doing a lot of those lately!), I washed the knife and the template every 3-4 cards. The paste dries really quickly, so you’ll want to keep it from building up on the template.
Washing was simple – I just carried the template and knife to the bathroom sink and rinsed with water.
