Custom Embossing Powder

It is one of those things I just never thought to do until a friend of mine did it.  My friend and cohort in craftiness, Shannon, was not satisfied with the colors of embossing powder she had available, so she experimented with mixing colors.  It is so fiendishly simple and yet, so satisfying.  For the frame above, I mixed two colors of green and some gold.  I'm not sure if the photograph really does it justice, but in person it is really lovely.

Getting Ready for Christmas...

I love Christmas. (Don't you?)

Here is a card I've been demonstrating at my Fun Shops. The designer paper is from the Rustic Chic collection with the TAC stamp Joy embossed in silver. Simple with a little "wow factor".

I showed this technique to some ladies who are new to stamping and they got sooo excited about the embossing - it was a BLAST!
