Christmas week: day 1

Hello,

How many sleeps to Christmas? 31 ? really ??? When I think that we will be in boxes again as we should be moving one week before Christmas! Yes… agaiiiin, I guess the 26 will definitely be “boxing day” for us then (sorry could not resist)…

So this week, just in case you have not finished your Christmas cards yet (like me??) and you need more inspiration, I will post only Christmas cards! Hope this will help if you suffer from “crafter’s block”.

As usual, let us know what you think in a comment below as we love reading those.

See you tomorrow

Dry embossing inspiration

Hi,

We talked about heat embossing and embossing powders the other day. Today, we will focus on dry embossing, whether it’s with the Cuttlebug or Crafts Too embossing folders, the Nestabilities (or other “bilities”: shape, impress, shape, border..) and of course with the brass stencils. You can find them all online if you click on the product names.

“With us” today are Poupette, Kiki and Christine Dark who used the Cuttlebug embossing folders and the Nestabilities.

Thanks for visiting and don’t forget that you can leave a comment below (always appreciated) and ask questions if you need to.

Embossing powders anyone? (day 2)

hello,

We continue with our embossing powder theme with more cards from the Design Team with today a card from  Carole Cann too where she used UTEE (ultra thick embossing enamel).

You probably already know the Ranger one but did you know that Cosmic Shimmer has a wide range of UTEE, well…. they call them Crystals (not enamel), so that makes it UTEC then I guess

Click here to see the colours we have in the shop. You can also read the UTEE masterclass that I have written for the Craft Stamper December issue out this week, using both UTEE and UTEC, with or without the melting pot.

Anyway, back to the cards…

Thanks for visiting
