I am sharing several Stencil Heat Embossing videos using different products and techniques, so if you need any inspiration be sure and visit our tutorials.

Placed Simon Says Stamp (SSS) "Tumbling Leaves Stencil" off the edge of SU Whisper White 100# cardstock and secured stencil with 3M Masking Tape to my Glass Mat.
I wanted to use 3 colors of Ranger Distress Embossing Glaze (EB Powder) on the leaves, but knew I would have to remove masking tape and stencil if I only heat embossed one color at a time. Then replace stencil and masking tape perfectly so I would not get a blurry effect. So I chose Glaze powder colors that would work well together if blended.
After securing stencil I used a sponge dauber to add Versamark Clear ink thru the stencil, then sprinkled EB Glaze powder colors.
I used Distress Embossing Glaze, Antique Linen (lt yellow), Peeled Paint (lt green) and Vintage Photo (brown) in that order.
Removed masking tape and stencil from card front. Shook off glaze powders onto copy paper and poured into empty very small clear plastic pot with screw top lid to save for a future project.
Heat embossed the Glaze and LOVED the beautiful shiny results.
Then die cut the stenciled leaves card front with Reverse Confetti "Lacy Scallop Frame" Confetti Cut.
Next stamped STAMPlorations "Woodland Friends" Sentiment and heat embossed with Vintage Photo Glaze twice. It looks a bit blurry in the photo, but does not IRL.
I popped up the image with craft foam and attached to SU WW Thick 100# card base and Done! Loved the results. I will be using this technique again.
I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire's video above.

ReplyDeleteSuch a clean an lovely design...can't ever go wrong with leaves and these are gorgeous. Perfect embossing on that lacy panel.
ReplyDeleteGorgeousGorgeous card, Nancy! I love the shimmery effect you created with your techniques on the tumbling leaves and that you chose the Lacy Scallop Frame for your focal point. It's just perfect!
ReplyDeletePlease excuse the typo on my comment...my Norton firewall is giving me a hard time ~ Barb xx
ReplyDeleteLoving the fabulous glossy look on these beautifully stencilled leaves Nancy. Enjoyed this challenge - thank you! x
ReplyDeleteWow, what a wonderful, classy card, Nancy! I love the colors of glaze you used for the embossing! I like the lacy scallop frame, too!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I don't know if I dare trying to mix colors of embossing powder but your results sure make it tempting to try! Gorgeous leaves, my friend! Thanks for a great challenge!
ReplyDeleteFabulous! Love the way you used three colours of embossing glaze - just a wonderful effect resulting in a gorgeous card.
ReplyDeleteThis is a real stunner Nancy! Your embossing is lovely and shiny and the colours gorgeous! Thanks for a fun theme!
ReplyDeleteThis is just beautiful, Nancy! I love that shine and it has some gold in it making it look SO rich! What a great effect blending those colors. You make me want to run out and get some of that glaze to try this.
ReplyDeleteI adore leaves, Nancy... these sweeping across your card are just fabulous! Made even more so with the fun heat embossing!
ReplyDelete=]
I was happy to have the chance to try this technique, Nancy! Also happy to try my new stencil from a good friend (ahem). Holy moly, your colors and shine turned out amazing on this gorgeous stencil. I'm putting the Ranger glaze on my wish list. Such a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteI loved your card too using more than one color to color your new stencil image:-) You would LOVE the EB Glazes...I now have 14 colors..lol!! I have not used all the colors yet, but have used the glazes several times already:-) We do have fun! love and hugs....Nancy
DeleteIt's such a beautiful card, Nancy! I love that variation in the color of the leaves; I noted that you used a sponge dauber for the Versmark. That would have helped me with the stencil I ended up using. The lacy scallop frame is perfect for this creation.
ReplyDeleteYes, the sponge dauber works great for tiny open stencil spaces. I save one dauber to use just on versamark. TFS your sweet comment, my friend. Love and Hugs...Nancy
DeleteThose glazes are amazing and so is your card Nancy. Absolutely beautiful my friend x.
ReplyDeleteLove that sheen! Very pretty!
ReplyDeletethe glazes look amazing Nancy and thanks for tip about using a small sponge dauber to put the versamark on with :)
ReplyDeleteYour leaves are gorgeous. Wonderful combination of glaze colours that blended perfectly to give you multi-coloured leaves! What a great technique! This is a fun challenge Nancy, thanks so much for hosting! xx
ReplyDeleteThank you Lolly for the opportunity of giving your DT girls a chance to host a challenge. I learned so much and it really was fun. It was my 1st time to try multiple colors of Distress Glaze heat embossing:-) Love and Hugs..Nancy
DeleteBreathtaking Nancy, simply breathtaking!
ReplyDeleteThe leaves look gorgeous with colours you chose but then the added finish of the embossing is just lovely.
ReplyDeletehow gorgeous...love the elegance and the wonderful look.
ReplyDeleteHope all is well.
xx Karen
Nancy, I was talking to Lolly today about the glaze and she told me about this card so I came over to see. Normally I have a lot to say, but every once in a while I am left speechless by a work of art that's extraordinary and this is one of those times. More so, because you used leaves. Thud!
ReplyDeleteI Got it!!! I felt the same way and so did Denny:-) I had made the card for someone else's birthday, but could not give it away so Denny got it for his January 26th birthday:-) We were both happy! I am loving the EB Glazes and now have 14 colors and want a few more..lol!
DeleteYour embossing glazes are beautiful on this Nancy! Doing them all together worked out fine! Xx
ReplyDeleteI have to say I'm blown away by this gorgeous piece of art Nancy! I've never heard of EB Glazes (and am not very good at branching out with new products) but what an amazing result you got here! Also, that frame die! *swoons*
ReplyDeleteVicky x
So beautiful! Have not seen the embossing glaze in person, but in your close-up, they look gorgeous. Fab colour selection for the Tumbling Leaves stencil. Thanks for the reminder that I have this stencil. I can only hope I can do half as good of a job as you did.
ReplyDeleteFabulous stencil heat-embossed card, Nancy! The Glaze colors are so beautiful and I love the flowing leave's design and the pretty shine from the Glaze!
ReplyDeleteYou did a wonderful job of blending the Glaze powers. How one color blends into another is amazing! Thank you so much for your inspiration!! Hugs.. Hideko
