Christmas week: day 4

Iiiii’m dreamiiiing of a whiiiiiite Christmaaaaas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten,
and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I had my very first white Christmas last year and I do hope we’ll get another one this year, we loved it!!

In the meantime, Kay’s sample below is definitely a white xmas as she used the cute Herb snowman from Whiff of Joy. Dawn seems to be having a (black &) white Christmas and Ria is probably too cold to face the snow as she prefers staying indoors to decorate the tree

Here’s our samples for today.

Hope you are enjoying this week… let us know in a comment below…

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.
