Thank You!! Five times!

Hi Everyone!! I just want to say Thank You!! I have so much to be thankful for and one of those things is you, my customers. Sale-a-Bration is off to a good start and I want to give everyone who participates a big thanks with FIVE hand stamped cards made my me with every Sale-a-Bration order. I made A LOT of cards over the year, so as you can image, even thought I try to send out birthday cards and thank you cards to my friends and family, I still have quite a lot left. I make several for blogs and swaps and videos and classes and just for fun! So, to dwindle down my stash a bit, I thought I would share them with all of you. I will be sure to send out a variety, so that you get some with different stamp sets, techniques, embossing or punches, dies and embellishments, you name it! I want you to see fun Stampin' Up! products of all kinds, so there may be a Christmas or a Halloween, a Birthday or fun fold, but I will make sure that at least one of the cards shows off a new Sale-a-Bration item and one an Occasions catalog item too, for some new inspiration.

Dipped Embossing technique

Hi Everyone! Today I want to share a fun new way to add some embossing to your projects. I am not sure what it is actually called but I am calling it the Dipped Embossing technique because it looks like you dipped your image into liquid gold. The Stampin' Up! CEO made a project doing this at a recent Stampin' Up! event and I just had to try it. I'm going to have to see if I can find a picture of the card she made because it was just so pretty.

You add ink to your stamp as normal, but then apply Versamark to the bottom half only, then stamp onto paper. I applied the versamark with a sponge.

I created a quick how to video for this card.

I also made the same card but used the new Real Red Glitter Stampin' Emboss Powder.
Pretty! A tip for the new Glitter Emboss Powder is to be sure to shake the powder up before using it each time. This is actually real glitter mixed with embossing powder and because they don't weight the same, they seperate a bit in the container. Shake to get nice even glittery coverage!

The Pine Bough Embossing folder is going to be on sale as Part of the Online Extravaganza beginning November 21st! It is retiring soon so it is a 'While Supplies Last' item, do act quickly! This is a pretty folder and packs a big wow for something that is so easy!
