Texture Paste & Embossing Paste Comparison

[@virginiabaxter7526]

I'm a total beginner to using products like these, I'm a mum trying to help my daughter through some of her a level in art, and have been trying to find ways to add more dimension to her course work portfolio.I didn't even know about texture paste and embossing powders with stencils until a month ago, Your video is so clear and helpful. Thank you so much! Will deinately be watching more!!!

[@misscheesecake1952]

Thanks Jennifer, I am using the Ranger's Texture paste for the first time. Trying watercolor paint on 1 and distress oxide on the other sample. Let's see how they come out. Thanks for all the very cool tips. You are the best! Have a great day and happy crafting!

[@Cindykm70]

You are one of the best channels ever. You are so very knowledgeable and know how to teach and explain perfectly. Thank you for taking the time to share your expertise with us, and I can always count on your honest opinion.

[@kathya.robinson407]

Thank you for show both pastes. It was interesting how the embossing was different from one of the other. Something I didn't think about until you had shared the comparison of the two.

[@nikb.421]

I saw CHA videos of Tim using the product. He says you need to dry the texture paste for a few hours if you don't want the bubbling (overnight is best). Just like you said, it depends on what you want. If I want the deep colors of the inks, I'd use Texture paste. If I want to do something at a faster pace, I'd use the paste.

[@slyseyes]

Uhm, when inking over the stencils (at 6:46 on the video), I saw a complete difference in how you applied the ink. On the embossing paste (on the left), you just pulled the tool over the top and rubbed it around a bit. On the texture paste (on the right), it looked like you really pushed the color into the paste. I think that pushing the color in would create a darker color. I'm watching this because I plan on buying some texture paste this week.

[@darlynewagner1324]

Good comparison of embossing vs texture paste and we all thank you for making the differences so easy to see depending on what one wants to do with them. Pretty all inclusive!

[@Margritz12]

I am just getting started in mixed media. This helped so much. Thank you for sharing.

[@lizgerman8568]

I really enjoyed your video! It was so relaxing yet very informative. There was no need of loud distracting music. Loved it!

[@marybirder5663]

Thanks so much for the great info you provided---embossing paste vs. texture paste. I'm certainly not new to crafting -n-such, but a novice when comes down to these pastes. In one of Tim Holtz's demonstrations on YT, he mentions the textured pastes will become "puffy" if using a heat tool to dry. Thanks again for posting!

[@inthecraftroom9724]

Thank you for taking the time to do this in-depth comparison, Jennifer! I have to be extremely frugal with my shopping, so I've never purchased the embossing paste as much as I want it. But now that I have a less expensive option (and I want to color my paste, too) I know that the texture paste would be the best fit for me. Thanks again :-)

[@RobinsDocumentedLife]

I have learned so much from your videos. I would have to buy both for the differences. I appreciate you for this video. I love to emboss, but I love how the color is better with the texture paste. I don't have either, but now I NEED both. lol

[@dsnyfanatik1]

Thank you! I just ordered embossing paste, which by the way, I could only find online, whereas the texture paste is available at Michaels and you can use 40% off coupon :-)

[@lindastevenson2989]

Jennifer I always watch your videos. You are such a great teacher. Thank you for always being there for us all sincerely Linda

[@lindam2367]

thanks for the comparison, did not know the difference. I agree that both are really good products. Had not thought about adding color after or heat embossing them. will have to give that a try

[@lamzydivey7150]

What a thorough job you did comparing these two products. Your videos are great:: quick, clear, precise. Well done.

[@barbaratroxell6682]

Jennifer coloring the paste is so awesome. I will be trying some crafts with this paste.

[@blessings13]

Stumbling upon your blog and videos has been so enlightening and educational. I look forward to all your videos and posts. Thank you Jennifer.

[@valeriedoyle]

Thank you so much for doing this. I have several colors of embossing paste and now know that even though the Ranger product offers a few things that the others don't, I know that I do not need to rush out and buy another product.

[@JennyJames-ArtbyJenny]

Thanks so much for your info! I'm often being asked by my customers (I have an Aussie online shop) which one is best or what's the difference :) So good to see that they're both equally high in quality and both useful to have to use. And because you've done this so well, all I need to do to explain is simply share your video! Yay :) Thanks again!

[@jadhikari0]

Thank you. It's a great video. I just bought the Ranger Texture Paste yesterday. Now I learnt so many uses of it with different colors and products and the results.

[@michelleleaf612]

I see others using this type of product but wasn't sure how to use them. Thanks for doing the comparison. Great video and love the ring on your right hand!

[@KelliMontoto]

Thank you for all that information. I’ve seen video about texture paste but was extremely happy with your comparison of both. For my use I will be getting the texture paste.

[@JJsJoyfulCreations]

Great comparison! I am adding the texture paste to my cart. I have been trying to decide between the two and due to price the decision is made. Blessings!

[@pawprintx4]

Great comparison, Jennifer. I hesitated to purchase the Ranger paste rather than the embossing paste but now I have the differences firmly in mind, I can make an informed decision at the craft store.

[@jeanettehorner8204]

Thank you for sharing your comparison. But I have been using wendys embossing paste and love it. Have had no problems with it , and would pay the difference just to get the better product. The colors are as deep as you want to apply. The embossing is much better. As ranger has some great products that I love, I have no desire to purchase the texture paste, when I feel I already have the best with wendys product. Enjoy your videos. . But this time I'm staying with wendys paste.

[@shellyscherbarth3619]

This comparison was EXACTLY what I was looking for...as always...you’re my ‘go-2’ for all things artsy!

[@sacconner]

What a super comparison Jennifer. Thank you. I was ready to order the new Texture Paste and was wondering how they compared. Now I know!

[@Avideo666]

Thanks so much for taking the time and comparing the two products....

[@scrapgirl14671]

Thank you for always doing a fair and balanced review. I feel like I have a true handle on each product now and can make my decision based on facts, not just on what's new, trendy or a name.

[@isadaristubblefield5229]

Thanks for the comparison, I think I'll def be buying Ranger's version. I also appreciate you showing various techniques with these, I'm new to using mixed media on projects

[@pattiepan]

Thank you Jennifer for the comparison of the two powders.
It seems to me that the Embossing paste smoothed out better with the glitter. the other one had some bubbles and pits. I agree that the Texture powder did take the color more. Like you said it just depends on what you want to create. Thanks
pat

[@junedonoflio8927]

Jennifer -- thanks for the comparison on the paste. You have answer most of my questions about the two products.

[@bethmiller4266]

I never thought about using embossing powder to the paste. Great technique. 👍

[@joannedonovan9489]

Thank you for doing this comparison. I haven't jumped into using any of these, yet, but this gives me a head start on knowing what to get!

[@djmmeade2094]

Great video. I used to make my own . Now I use tile grout paste add glass paint or acrylic paint, glitter to add the colour and yr ready to go

[@CD-kr4hp]

Love this video. You are great at getting to the point without being long and drawn out.

[@mrstraci333]

Ty for helping me make up my mind Jennifer! I'm going for the TP myself.

[@cherylstauffer5718]

Thanks so much Jennifer, this was very informative. I have used embossing paste for years but not tried the texture paste yet. It certainly does look like a matter of preference.

[@ledachild965]

HI Jennifer... loved your explanation how to use these two pastes. Do you have any video teaching how to use the crackle texture plaste. I saw a set of drawers (MDF) with some beautifull effect... it is higher and it's cracked as well. Thank you. xx

[@marywilkinson2467]

Thank you again. I have been wondering about the difference in these. I didn't know you could color it!

[@lupedevlin730]

Thank you so much jennifer for sharing your video. It was awesome. keep up with your great ideas. I liked them both. God bless you and your family.

[@tammieyoung9228]

Thank you for comparing these as I was debating between the two. I like both of them also.

[@Hannebv]

I love how the texture paste looked like bubble wrap with the Gansai. Great video, thanks :)

[@kellymacdonell]

This video was extremely informative and helpful. You are my go-to gal on embossing paste techniques, for sure! Thanks so much for doing this product comparison.

[@MsLeezza]

Thanks Jennifer!! Great video and after seeing your awesome comparison, I now will be adding some Texture Paste to my stash. I really like how it is a bit whiter, I like how it takes color, but did not really like how it bubbles when you heat emboss it and since I have a stash of Embossing Paste I can use for that, I think based pretty much on value, this frugal girl is going to go with Texture Paste for pretty much everything but heat embossing!!

[@KraftyPaws]

Thank you so much for this detailed review! You are so funny that you relate them to children! I may just have one child. LOL You had me cracking up! TFS Big hugs, Kristina

[@lindabrady9102]

I really enjoyed your video. It was very informative. I like that you showed different ways to use both products. I only have molding paste and embossing paste. I haven't tried using embossing powder with the embossing paste, but can't wait to try it! I will also be coloring my embossing paste with distress ink, what fun. I know I also want to purchase texture paste!

[@Amywazwaz06]

There is a video by docrafts on how to make your own embossing paste. It is quite easy. I believe it is 1 teaspoon Alene's tacky glue. 1 teaspoon white acrylic paint. And 3/4 cup of talc powder. But don't quote me for sure on the amounts. Look for the do crafts video for sure.

[@katieh200]

Thanks Jennifer for your examples that helps a lot when I go to choose which one I want for which project and I also like both :) xxx

[@mgos10]

Thanks so much! I just bought my first jar of embossing paste and I can't wait to use it! I love your videos!!! I learn so much from them.

[@karensliwinski1310]

Very helpful. Especially for someone about to try these products for the first time.

[@LeeGysberts]

Thank you so much for your honest opinion on the pastes very good

[@fredestair7360]

Wonderful review I was wondering about the two products, wonder no more. Thank you so very much.

[@anastasiasholeinthehollerc8697]

Very informative, such good information for those of us fairly new to these products. Very thorough, you covered everything that I needed to know. You were clear and concise and that made it easy to follow. Thank you for taking the time to show us and the care you took to make it a great video.

[@ScrappingLatina]

This was very helpful... Thank you. My local stores won't carry these products so I better hit the online stores... Thanks for sharing.

[@happyone444able]

Jennifer, thank you greatly for making this! It was well demonstrated and answered the questions I have!

[@trishreddick7991]

Thanks so much Jennifer for this product comparison. it is so nice o know the differences before buying; I appreciate YOU!

[@PataChiNNo]

You answered so many questions that I had regarding both! You did it so perfectly. Thank you so very much for such a helpful video!

[@michellen4221]

I don't have embossing paste yet, as I'm still relatively new to this type of crafting, but I have noticed that the Texture Paste will "wick up" color from underneath. I often do an entire background in distress inks, and each time (whether it's dried naturally or using a heat gun), once I stencil Texture Paste over it, the ink will eventually soak into and color the paste instead of staying white. I've gotten some great effects this way, but I'm guessing others would count on it staying white. I'm wondering if embossing paste does the same thing.

[@sandrawidboom9135]

Jennifer, what an incredible review. Can’t wait to try them. Thank You 🙏

[@tammy5590]

good comparison. I am glad to see up front what they both will do so u can spend money on only what u want. Thanks Jennifer.

[@margaretspies86]

[@jeanniecearley2418]

Thank you for doing this comparison on the paste, I'm like you, I like them both. Thanks for sharing.

[@tlsexton0913]

Thank you so much for making this video. I've been so afraid to use either. Now, not so much.

[@andrewsparks9804]

Thanks for the info. Now will have to go get some texture paste to try out.

[@DogplayBDA]

thank you Jennifer a very through review and answered all of my questions

[@MelissaBernardCards]

Thanks so much for sharing, that was a lot of great info. It helped me decide to try the Ranger Texture Paste.

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

Thanks so much for doing a video like this! I didn't know much about these two products, and now I do!

[@valeriebreingan147]

I learned some interesting things in this review. Thank you JENNIFER

[@vibhutipanchal5050]

VERY NICE EXPLAINED. THANKS

[@savagetwin52]

Thank you so much for the excellent presentation of your review of these 2 pastes. I have both but just yesterday evening tried my hand with the texture paste and Tim Holtz' lovely floral stencil. Yup, I'm addicted. I went crazy. And then I colored some areas with the new distress crayons. Worked nicely. Glad to know they hold up nicely. Would you recommend topping the finished work with some kind of medium to give it more protection? TU again!

[@paperandstamping541]

loved it... learned quite a bit.. I actually have never used anything like this...

[@lorimcgarrity2146]

That was great jennifer. Thnx so much. I was all for the texture paste until the end with the embossing because I can't imagine using it without embossing it. Well, no, actually I am sure there are plenty of times I would just use ink. But anyway, thanks also for the price comparison because that is probably going to be my ultimate deciding factor. Plus I love Tim Holtz and all of his products.

[@njofei]

This was great, I would probably utilize both as well.

[@mamascorpio]

FanTAStic video! !! I have texture paste...a bit actually...good to know I can save money when I begin trying out heat embossing.

[@peggykempf7555]

Thank you that was very interesting.I don't know if I want 2 kids or 1 right this moment but I think I will buy the texture paste first, then try the embossing paste, I can see a reason for both. As always thank you so very much!!!!

[@debravankeuren5775]

Thanks somuch for this overview. It really helped a lot!

[@kmcorby]

Jennifer, I really struggle with any kind of stencil paste. It always squishes under the stencil. Even when I tape everything down. What am I doing wrong?

[@elainebeard2922]

Thsnk you for that information Jennifer.🌺

[@LisCKna]

Thanks for the product review; it was great to see the similarities & differences. We are a one child family so I guess I will have to stick with the embossing paste as I already have that ;)

[@allenemilystewart6039]

This is a fabulous video, I bought texture paste yesterday! Can you share where you got the boxes with the attached spoons? I need something better to keep my powder in, for pouring it back in. Thank you!!

[@anwarallie]

What is the difference between liquid matte medium and gel matte medium? Why would you use one and when use the other? I am confused with all the choices out there.

[@jredel2877]

Do they have different drying time? Could that make a difference when heat setting to avoid bubbles?

[@rDinx]

Thanks for this, quite interesting to see the differences.

[@nataliakrakovsky3660]

Thanks, please tell me how to use this pasta- filler for oil painting ? .thanks Natasha

[@annearmstrong7493]

That was so informative for a beginner like myself. Thank you xx

[@carose1029]

Thanks for the product comparison. Very helpful.

[@DJsSundries]

Thanks for the information. I enjoy the embossing paste, but may make a switch when I run out since they are so similar and the price of the texture paste so much lower.

[@annmarie6545]

Thanks for the great comparison review! Very helpful & you're always a joy to watch & learn from :)

[@sehryn]

It looks like you rubbed the ink onto the texture paste much more firmly than you did on the embossing paste. The difference in how you applied the ink is really obvious to me so I’m very confused about that
Thanks for the videos. I’ve enjoyed them and learned lots

[@MsAusarian]

Just brought both.
Actually brought a ton of things after watching your vids. Couldn’t use your links though as i’m in the UK.

[@saracampbell2891]

This comparison video is very helpful! Thank you.

[@kathypatterson4630]

Thank you. What great information...Now, if I can just remember which is which...

[@tamaraenyart7875]

How would it work if you put it through a pastry bag and tip?

[@genicemilliner7667]

Can you mix embossing powder into the pastes (like you did with the ink)?

[@donnabauer7801]

Can either one of these be used on silkscreen stencils? Thanks

[@WandaHentges]

Thanks so much for this comparison!!!! All good information!! I wonder if possibly the texture paste doesn't dry as quickly and therefore wasn't totally dry when you heated the embossing powder and that's why it wanted to bubble or if it will always want to bubble?

[@prettypaperthings]

You let it dry longer, a few hours, to heat set it, as Tim holtz stated in his demo

[@ritaharris2372]

My main concern is life of the product. I have texture and it is already drying out. Another blogger says she has used the embossing paste for a long time.

[@barbaraedmondson1596]

Thank you very much, I was wondering.

[@robertrawls9454]

Is the embossing paste available in white and where can I find it?
