Embossing Workshop and 100 Posts

This is Post Number 100 on my blog!   I would love it if you could leave a comment.  You can even do it anonymously.

Here are some pics of the cards we made at my Embossing Workshop yesterday.

This was a little example of dry embossing - see the lines on the Whisper White?  These were done using the scoring tool on the paper trimmer.  Love that Easter Blossoms set.

Next we experimented with white embossing on a plain background.

And followed up with white embossing on a patterned background.  This ideas came straight from our monthly "Impressions" magazine, mailed to all demonstrators.  It's packed full of ideas and inspiration.

And who could resist ...emboss resist.  I love this stamp set "Bliss" from the current Sale-a-Bration sets.  You can earn this stamp set for FREE by placing a $100 order.
This card was CASED from Kimberly Van Diepen who had a great video of emboss resist if you missed my class.

Here is a little close up of the butterfly.  SU! has so many punches to match their images but this one, we had to cut out by hand. 

And lastly, a little more emboss resist using the sponge daubers.

If you are interested in coming along to my classes they are held in the Burleigh Waters area twice monthly, day or evening.  Email me at wheatonanna@hotmail.com or phone 55 765 469.

Notelets

In the previous catalogue, you could buy these notelets and matching envelopes.  Now only the envelopes are available, which makes sense because you can easily cut your own notelets and therefore make them any colour you wish.  They are on page 123 of the catalogue and are 7.9 cm x 7.9 cm.  These mini cards use Baroque Motifs (everyone should own that set - even non-stampers!) matched with a variety of other stamp sets.  Don't you love the embossed butterfly?  That's run through the Big Shot.

Baroque Motifs

One of the most versatile stamp sets I have is Baroque Motifs. I have used it for Christmas, birthdays, male cards, females cards. This particular card was inspired by Heather Nichols who has created many beautiful cards using kraft cardstock. I made it just a little shorter than a regular sized card.
