CAS Mix Up Challenge: Stencil Heat Embossing

Hello, friends!  It's time for our February CAS Mix Up challenge.  This month it's hosted by Nancy and she's asking us for Stencil Heat Embossing.




Please see the challenge blog for all the instructional videos Nancy has linked.  For my stencil heat embossing I smooshed Versamark ink through the stencil and then applied two different embossing powders -- yellow and dark red.  I allowed the dark red to filter through the yellow so it has a peppery look.




While I had all my embossing supplies out I decided to also emboss the sentiment and an accent leaf.  On those you can see the pure colors.  Gave it a white wood grain frame and hopefully enough white space to still call it CAS.

Come along and play with us at CAS Mix Up.  Have some fun with heat embossing through a stencil and exercise your CAS skills at the same time.  I'm still working on mine.  There are great samples by the team and our guest designer, Arlene, on the challenge blog.  Enjoy!


Paper:  Neenah 80 & 110 lb white  Ink:  Versamark  Stencil:  Stamplorations Winter Flowers  Dies:  Cottage Cutz Thanks Phrase, Hero Arts Wood Frame, Paper Smooches Foliage 1  Other:  Yellow and dark red embossing powders, dark red string

    Ooooh. Such beauty and shine. Love the colors you chose, as well. The interplay of them adds so much texture. You managed to use both my favorite color and favorite frame...how did your know?

    Wow...Stunning heat embossed stenciled image using yellow and red embossing powders. I love how you used both colors for such a beautiful and interesting effect. Gorgeous heat embossed leaves and sentiment and woodgrain frame too. Thank you so much for sharing. Isn't it fun trying new techniques?!? I want to try making woodgrain frames. I love the look. Love and Hugs...Nancy

    Beautiful card and I love the combination of the two powders together. I only have done this with gold embossing powder but I might have to try several colors to see how it looks.

    I so enjoy playing with EPs, Leslie. Your blended colors look especially stunning together. That "thanks" die cut is the perfect component to make your recipient feel appreciated! It's beautiful, Leslie. hugs, de

    LOve the yellow with red - which did turn the prettiest color when they mixed, Leslie! Very pretty, and peppery!

    What a great CAS! You did such an amazing job! I love how your card turned out!! Great colors and technique! Interesting to do two embossing powders together. We had 31" of snow so far and it is still snowing! Joe got stuck at the bottom of the driveway with the plow so we are awaiting the kids to come and help dig out!! Haven't seen a plow in 2 days! UGH!! Stay safe!

    Combining the two colours of embossing powders for your background turned out AMAZING, Leslie! Love this colour combination. The woodgrain frame is lovely. And heat embossing the leafy sprig and sentiment reinforces your colour combination. Beautiful card! xx

    Leslie, I've done stenciling on a few cards, but never using this technique, your card is just so beautiful, love the images with the two colors, the fabulous frame and the bold, shiny sentiment.
    I'm going to watch the videos and give this challenge a try.
    Thank you for the inspiration.
    Stay healthy and safe.

    Wow! this is GORGEOUS Leslie! Lovely stencil and love the colours of embossing powder you used. The 'peppery' look is so cool! I really like the accent leaf and sentiment embossed, just finishes this off so nicely. This technique takes stenciling to the next level, must give this a try! Thank you for sharing today, always love seeing your creations Leslie!
