Workshop Mania... Double Embossing

Well Friday isn't over yet! Here are a couple of the double embossing projects that we will create in our workshop tomorrow.  I saw this technique and fell in love with it.  It gave me just one more avenue of creativity! You will enjoy it as well.

The Double Embossing is created with the use of an embossing folder enhanced with embossing powder.  It is so clever and creates such a beautiful look!

 

I have also fallen in love with the butterfly stamp and punch, aren't they just lovely?

And last but never least, the tulip embossing folder, simple yet elegant.

(and that great butterfly stamp and punch!)

I know we will have tons of fun so I hope to see you tomorrow at Denny's on Herndon and Blackstone between 1 pm and 6 pm!

Happy creating!

March Workshop is Approaching!

Well here it is too many days have past far too quickly!  March is almost upon us and it is time once again for our monthly workshop!

This month's feature workshop is Double Embossing!  You will love this technique and the wow it will bring to your project whether it is a card, scrap book page or 3D project.

Please join me and my team on Saturday March 3rd for this exciting technique.  You may bring your own supplies which would consist of white or cream card stock, your favorite paper, stamp set and ink.  Some adhesives and embellishments.  Or you may simply just bring yourself and a friend!  I will have supplies on hand for your use.   With so many events on the horizon I expect you will be able to produce several projects during our time together.

By Thursday or Friday I will have the projects posted for you to view.


I hope to see you at the workshop!
