Dreamweaver Tutorial: Sparkly Fluff Embossing
Today I am excited to share another beautiful, simple and fun technique that can be used with Dreamweaver Stencils - Sparkly Fluff Embossing. You can give your projects the look and feel of felt without all the fussy cutting! For textured items like mittens or animals this is an awesome technique.
Supplies Needed:
- Dreamweaver Stencil
- Cardstock
- Tape
- Embossing Paste
- Spreader
- Sparkly Fluff
- Embellishments
Once you’ve pulled together your supplies, tape down your paper and stencil. (You can check out our tutorial here on Embossing with Pastefor step by step tricks.)
Add your embossing paste to the stencil. Be generous.
Mask off the area for your first addition of fluff.
Add a generous layer of fluff. Press fluff down into the paste.
Move mask and repeat process for additional colors. (This is a little like the Stampedous Painting With Powders tutorial.)
You can do the same process with glitter.
When you’ve added all the colors and pressed them into the paste, shake off the extra (sorry no saving here), and gently remove the stencil. Touch up any spots with glue and fluff.
Voila! You’ve created an image with the look and feel of felt, but without having to do all the fussy cutting!
Set the project aside for about an hour to let it dry. Use this time to wash your stencil so the paste doesn’t harden onto it. You can also play with the dog, take a nap or have a cocktail.
Final project. Removed glass from the frame so that the mittens’ fluffiness would show.
Close up view of the mittens. Love all the texture.

Interesting technique. If you taped your piece to a larger, movable piece, like a cutting board, you could tip it up after each application and save most of the extra. I would love the LJ902 stencil.

I've been wanting to try this technique using fun flock...I think it's the same as the sparkly fluff without the sparkles???
Would love the Maidenhair Fern stencil.

I have some of these fluff pots and have never used them. Would love to try it with LX7003. Thanks for the opportunity.
