OK, a while back I shared about a new way to spend time and that was on Pinterest. Well, I started looking at "card making" on other peoples sites and I noticed all of these amazingly cool cards that were embossed. So today I was on a mission to find out how you emboss.
I discovered there are two ways. One is with ink and a heat tool. I already knew how to do that, and it is indeed very fun to do. But I wanted something more dramatic...so I bought a Sizzix machine!
Can I tell you just how in love with this new gadget I am!!? It is basically an Ellison cutter which teachers use all the time for cutouts at school. Well a function of this machine is to also emboss paper. I have made 3 samples (screwed one of them up) and I can't wait to do more tomorrow. Of course I got it on sale for 40% off so it was cheaper than a pair of shoes.
You just might get one of my new cards sometime!
