Today I have the tutorial to share that goes with the tag box I did a week or so ago.   I made another little treat box using the paper I made for the tutorial, this time with a Christmas theme. Double embossing is a great way to add depth and elegance to a project.  It's an easy process too.  I usually make a bunch at one time to have for projects at a later date. SUPPLIES: Embossing Folder Big Shot Brayer Embossing Buddy Embossing Powder  (I used clear for this tutorial) Vera Mark or Embossing Ink Pad Card stock cut to 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" Make sure you cover the entire paper well so all areas will emboss evenly.  I set up four papers then emboss and repeat the process if I need more.  Be careful when handling the paper so you don't disturb the placement of the powder. I hope you will give this great technique a try.  Especially for Christmas projects, the Real Red card stock with Clear embossing powder is so beautiful! Thanks so much for stopping by...

I have a couple of cute baby cards to share today.  I used a technique called Double Embossing to create part of the card.  Double embossing is done with a Brayer, Versamark, clear embossing powder and an embossing folder.  First let me show you the cards.  This first card is done with Cool Caribbean (wish they were bringing it back!) and So Saffron.  The double embossed section is done with the Vintage Wallpaper EF.  It's quite simple, you ink up your brayer with versamark then run it over your embossing folder.  I use the side that had the flat design, not the raised design.  You place your paper into the embossing folder and run it through the big shot.  Take it out and pour the clear embossing powder all over it then heat emboss.  It gives you a beautiful look, the flat area is heat embossed so it's glossy and darker that the raised areas.  If I get a chance I'll do a picture tutorial sometime soon.  Here is the girl card t...

Welcome back to Flashback Friday!!!  Today's share is a super cute set that I loved immediately when it came out, A New Little Someone from 2003. How sweet is this bunny?!  This card sort of made itself.  Many of the components of the card were left overs from other projects.  The Crumb Cake card stock embossed with the Square Lattice EF was sitting in my extras box as was the Pretty in Pink double embossed Vintage Wallpaper card stock.  I added in a card base of Pretty in Pink and Whisper White CS.  The Crumb Cake ribbon added a nice touch. The bunny was stamped with black StazOn on Glossy White CS and colored in with an Aqua painter and markers.  I stamped the greeting with Soft Suede directly on the Whisper White layer. I liked this card so much that I used a couple other extras and made two more cards with different colors. I did a bunny in Bashful Blue with the Crumb Cake and Whisper White.  Just as sweet as the pink bunny! And the last ...
