This technique has multiple, in fact endless possibilities for multi media projects... Love it, and thank you for this superb video!
Thanks so much for the kind words! You are so welcome! Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
So glad I found you. I nabe thought about trying this and here you are, showing me what to do. May I mention, one way to avoid cracks in the embossed paper is to spritz the paper with water prior to making your sandwich. Thank you for this video, Ursula.
Cool idea 👍🏼! I’m going to have fun trying this out & making a bunch of new embossing folders ! You just need to play with the sandwich you use the bigger the embossed image you use, simple fix.
Nice! FYI: You can soften the paper by wrapping it in a damp towel for an hour if you don't want any tearing.
Thanks Kim!
Absolutely! It will work great with the Gelli Plate! That's another of my favorite things :) Have fun!!
This is pretty clever, I love it thanks for sharing! 👍🏼❤️👌
You're welcome Renda! And thank you for watching and commenting! Have a great rest of your weekend!! ❤️
@@UrsulaSmith, I appreciate that you took the time to respond. I respect that you did that. ❤️👍🏼
Thank you!! ❤❤
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting! Have a great rest of your weekend!
Love this idea, thank you.
You're welcome Deby! Thanks for watching! Have an awesome day!
wOwowowOWOOW you saved me, ive been trying to figure out embossing for an hour. lol thank u
You are totally welcome!! I have a new way of making embossing plates. I'll try to get that video edited and post it soon on my blog! Have fun!!
Thank you for the video. I am ordering some Golden gel and will try this technique! Looks like fun, and I like the idea of making my own embossing plates instead of buying them. Sky’s the limit on creativity! (I hope to someday have a workspace as big as yours seems to be so that I can “spread out” and get all my crafting supplies out of every room in the house!). Thanks again.
Hi Debbie! Have fun!! If you post anything with what you make let me know- I'd love to see it!!
@chatgirlai , I would like to see them as well, oh,….. and just so you know, any respectable crafter will always have some sort of craft supplies in every room of the house LOL, but for real. I’ll tell you the facts, I finally got my own craft room and honestly, the larger your craft room gets, the less room you’ll have because you just keep putting more stuff in there, anything that you think you could possibly use for this or that. 🤷♀️😂 My husband calls it MY CRAP ROOM but, it’s definitely NOT CRAP TO ME!!!! LOL, NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH! #craftingkeepsmehappy
❤ YOU ARE A GENIUS !😊 THANK YOU
Thanks so much! Glad you liked it! Thanks for watching and commenting! 💗
f there's a will there's a way!!!!!! How wonderful!!!! Thx for sharing such a great idea!!!!!
Thanks!! Hope you make something awesome!!
great video. if you mist the paper with water it will be less likely to crack as it will be more pliable when dampened.
That looks very beautiful
Thank you! 🙂
Thanks Heaps for this tip a lot of folders on the market are not ethnic to some of our countries so Yes this tip helped a lot I'm going to start making plates excellent tip
Thanks Anne! Have fun!!
Thanks beautiful! You gave me some good ideas!
You are so welcome!
It’s January 2022 and j just watched this. Awesome 👏 thank you for sharing!
You are so welcome, Linda!
You can also foil your design after it dries, instead of rubbing the ink pad over the design.
Thank u for sharing. Don't have the rollers, but I will find a way
Hi Olive! Do you mean the Big Shot? Let me know how it goes and what you end up doing! Before embossing folders we used to use a stylus and go around brass and plastic plates. I wonder if that would work? Thanks for watching and commenting! Also, I do a different technique now with yupo paper and the Big Shot of you want to check that out too 😉
Thank you
You're so welcome! 😊
Thank you for the video.
They sell those signs at dollar tree and 99 cent store in So. California.
Heavy gesso works too.
Thanks Cheryl! Great point about the dollar store! And thanks for the tip about the gesso!
How did you get the initial image and how did you cut it out to make a stencil? (I am new to this process - so very curious...)
Sorry Miel I'm so late answering. My original image is one of my designs. Typically I start with a photograph and then play around with it in either Photoshop or Silhouette Studio (or both ;) ) and then I will cut stencils or cutouts of those with my Silhouette Curio.
So awesome 😎 thank u for e.
You're so welcome! Thanks for visiting and watching my channel! Have an awesome day!

Great tutorial ❤️👏🏻
Thanks Nico! I'm working on a new video with a different way to do embossing so stay tuned ;)
Thank you very much. I really enjoyed this.
Thanks so much! Enjoy the rest of your day!
Hi Ursula, could this method be used to emboss leather? I like the depth you get with the mold you made.
Hi Pamela! It's possible as long as the medium that you are using is not "crumbly ". So gel mediums rather than molding pastes are probably your best bet. I''ll admit, I 've not been using that technique as much once I discovered the yupo paper and got good embossing with that method. It's quicker and easier for me to do the yupo paper embossing plates since I was cutting stencils anyway for this method.
The other video you might want to take a look at is the one with polymer clay on keather. I am using polymer much more often with leather now because I can press just about anything into it (and inverse it if I need to) (I can't remember if I posted a video on inversing polymer clay, but it is almost the same as the video I made on inversing silicone molds except instead of using Vaseline as in the case with silicone molds, you use cornstarch instead . If you've used polymer clay before that's probably your best bet. The other thing that works great but requires a little harder to deal with products are polymer plates. I think there are people on Etsy that will make you custom polymer plates and again that may be a good idea especially once you have a design that you've played with and decided you liked a lot. So for me I generally either do the yupo paper embossing plates or the polymer clay to get the best impressions in the leather and that seemed to be easier, at least for me, to make.
Hope this all makes sense! Trying to give you my take on things without confusing you 😁
@@UrsulaSmith yes it makes sense. I will look for the video you mentioned. Thank you for letting me pick your brain. :)
Not a problem! I love "meeting" other like minded people that like this stuff as much as I do 😉
Oooops- it looks like I hadn't published the Polymer plate (with polymer clay) video I mentioned. Sorry about that! I'm very far behind on editing and publishing. I need a production crew ;) Here's the link... czcams.com/video/2DTh1lGCdBs/video.html
Genius
Thanks Brittany! Have an awesome day!
This is a fantastic idea and I think I'd like to try this. When you do your videos please keep your camera still it makes me dizzy when it keeps moving
I do try, but it's just me- no professional film crew here haha. Hopefully my videos are helpful even with some shaking 😉
That's cool! How many times can you use the made-up stencil? (I might use it for Christmas cards, and I send out a LOT of them!)
Hi Joanne! So the answer is it depends ;) If it is cut from regular paper and you are using wet ink/paint etc, it probably won't last very long. Some folks cut stencil material on the Silhouette/Cricut/other digital cutter, but my designs are usually way too intricate to cut that material well. And truth be told even regular card stock doesn't cut well a lot of times with my designs. But stencil material will last a long time if you are careful with it, and wetness won't bother it at all. I personally use a paper from Dass Art called Stone Paper (here is a link dassart.com/product/stone-paper-2513x19/) . It cuts like a dream on the Silhouette and I can get some pretty detailed cuts from it. That lasts a lot longer than regular paper but not as long as the plastic stencil material. They used to carry the stone paper in 8.5x11 but that seems to have been out of stock for quite sometime :(. Good luck with your Christmas cards!!
@@UrsulaSmith Thank you so much for your quick reply! I bookmarked the site & will look into it! Great information!!
@@joannedonovan9489 No problem! I am actually writing up a blog post (after a looooooong hiatus, haha) on using one of those Stone Paper stencils with Distress Sprays. Thanks for checking in!! Have a great rest of your day!
@@UrsulaSmith , hey thanks for the info on the stone paper, I’ve never heard of it before, believe or not and will be checking into that for sure as I could really use it sometimes with the crazy things that I try to pull off. You are so helpful to everyone, how cool! ❤️👍🏼😉🫵
@@rendaowe haha you sound like me! I will tell you that the stone paper is harder to come by in sheets now. It can also tend to make a mess of you are using it for digital cutting. I've switched to using the plasticky papers like yupo. I've got some video filmed where I talk about some new papers that I'm using. I'll try to get that edited and up within the next month. But depending on what you are using the paper for, I really like Paper Tyger. Again harder to come by in sheets from, but rolls seem to be more available. HTH Have a great day!
Clever using two thicknesses of cardboard!
Thanks! Glad you liked it! Have a great rest of your day!
Genius!
Hi Bethany!! Awwwww thanks! Also, I have a couple of new videos out on other ideas for embossing with the Big Shot.
where did you get the blank embossing folders
Hello Ursula
Thank you veryyyyy much for this tutorial. I have an extremely urgent question. From the two Golden medium which do you recommend more, HIGH SOLID GEL (Gloss) or the EXTRA HEAVY GEL/MEDIUM ? Which is firmer and gives more depth/dimension to the stencil and doesn’t crack over time under the cuttle bug pressure?
Do both mediums dry clear by the way? Or only the high solid gel dries clear?
Did you use the Golden EXTRA HEAVY GEL/MOLDING medium for the single layer stencil or the HIGH SOLID GEL?
Sorry for all these questions!
Look for to your response! And thank you again for this! :)
In my experience, the gel seems to be a bit stiffer and probably holds up a tad better. The pastes seems to be a bit softer. Also in general, the gels are clear and the pastes are more opaque. I can't remember exactly, but it looks more like a gel that I used in the double layer. The double layer was a bit trickier to make, but did a better job at embossing in my opinion. Hope that helps!
Ursula Smith Thank you so much ! When you say, Gel, I reckon you meant the HIGH SOLID GEL not the EXTRA HEAVY GEL/molding, as both are called gels?
Yes the heavy gel. Also make sure you let it dry well- maybe a couple of days. Also you might want to try making a couple- one with a single layer and one with the double layer of gel. Also see the note earlier about misting the paper so it won't crack while you emboss. Enjoy!
Ursula Smith Thank you very much!
Thank you for the video! Is there a way of doing this if I don’t have the machine that rolls the papers together? 🙂
Some will say that you can use a rolling pin and press REALLY hard, but in my experience it wasn’t hard enough lol but you can experiment for yourself
Hi Kat! Another idea is to try using something pen like that has a rounded end. I know there used to be tools to emboss metal and paper by rubbing it against a plastic textured background. I have tools that are metal balls on the end of them for making round divots in clay. Maybe one of these would work? When I get through the backlog of all my videos waiting to be edited (some are years old haha) I can add this to my list of things to experiment with. In the meantime, maybe you could try it too!
Thanks Doreen!
Great vídeo! Do you have a vídeo where You show How to do the double thickness stencil?
Hi Ana! In this case, I cut a stencil on the Silhouette. I did not video the layering part or the designing part if that is what you are asking. I haven't done many videos on my Silhouette designing work. There are lots of videos out there on using the Silhouette design software- look up Cindy Pope she is really good. As for the layering here, I cut out a stencil on the Silhouette Curio twice and stacked them on top of each other and taped them. I did a recent video on cutting Yupo paper on the Silhouette for stencils here- ursula-smith.com/yupo-paper-stencils-on-silhouette-curio/ and that has a link to another post I did on using stone paper for stencils. I am working on more videos doing experiments with the Yupo paper cutouts, so I can try to add layering into that series if that helps.
@@UrsulaSmith thanks a lot for your answer, Ursula, so detailed! Your video was very helpful and inspiring. I'll watch the videos you suggested. I asked about the stencil because I need a way to make a thicker layer when using the stencil, and yours was great. I don't have the Silouette, but I'll try to buy It. It seems the only alternative :) Hugs from Argentina.
The paste , work with heat to dry?
Hi there! I don't use heat on acrylic mediums. They usually have polymer in them, and heat doesn't work well on that. I usually just leave it overnight to dry. Some people will use heat guns on paints and things, but I try to avoid doing that. Hope that helps! Good luck!
they are diffrent patterns! What happened to the original stencil?
Hi Tammy! I demonstrated how to emboss with one that was already dry first. At the end - actually after I say thanks for joining me ;) - I do another embossing with the design that I made at the beginning. That one ripped the paper, so I wouldn't roll it though twice, and/or I would lightly mist the paper first as Doreen pointed out.
+Ursula Smith Hi Ursula thank you for letting me know. I feel reassured now, and will take a look at the video. Many thanks Tammy :-)
You're welcome! Although, sometimes I do switch patterns or stamps etc because I mess up the filming and I need to film pieces of the demonstration again :) :)
Tammy Hackett actually watch the vid and you'll hear her say... "while the other one of drying"... gosh...
Great!!
great
Can you use the plate as a rubber stamp?
Hi Tunie! You can try, but it is pretty hard, so won't give as nice an impression as the softer, more bouncy rubber/acrylic material. Instead, I would probably use the original stencil and spray through it, and even rub another piece of paper on the stencil after I am done spraying in order to get the reverse. I would use multiple colors to get that less perfect look (although that is more my style- you could use a single color if you wish. You could also use a sponge and stamping ink, and stamp through the stencil. If I ever get time to get back to my blog I can should you what I am talking about- I just was doing this the other day ;). Hope this helps!!
very nice can you please show us how you cutting your Stencil . thank you
Hello! I have a demonstration using the paper that I typically use for stencil cutting with the Silhouette cutters. Hope that helps- czcams.com/video/HCrZyltSKD0/video.html
thank you so much . all the best :)
🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔🔔j'ai mon chéri
can u use glue or coking paste
Hi Taz- I think glue might not be stiff enough. But you can always give it a try and see if it works and let us know!
wonder if anyone has tried to do this with spackle?
I haven't done too much with spackle (other than spackle, haha). I wonder if that might be too crumbly? But probably worth a try if you have some laying around! Have fun, Jet!
Just spraying a little water, gently rub it in and then emboss. Worked a treat for me. Do try it? Loved your second emboss design. Very pretty. XTIBBYX
HOW do you make your own original DIE???
Hi Bernard. I use a digital cutter to make a stencil and then use the paste through that. If you follow the link to my blog there's more information there. Most of my posts include youTube videos. Or vice versa 😉
@@UrsulaSmith Thank you Ursula, I will pass this on to my wife Melody who is the "artist" 🙂
@@bernardvorster6170 that's so nice of you!! Hope your wife finds it helpful! Have her reach out if she needs any more help! Enjoy your day!

@@Raine1105 No problem! I did just go through and update the post to flesh out more of the details. I'll try to be more aware when I write my posts. And I probably should link my post from the description too going forward ;). Thanks for keeping me on my toes! Have a great day!
