December 2007

The Holidays are almost upon us! And I have LOTS of News!!!

I love to give AND get a "Gift of the Heart", something handstamped or stamps themselves. If you do too, then don't forget to e-mail me your wish lists before December 12th to ensure Christmas Delivery! (and get what you really LOVE)

And check out The Last Minute Gifts Camp - December 14th for cool, handmade, inexpensive, but, looks like you spent lots, 1 of a kind gifts. See the pics.
Be sure to RSVP as soon as possible, before December 12th!

Layer with a Brayer - cool way to get different values of color.

Step 1 - Heat emboss your bold image with clear powder. (Like snowflakes)
Step 2 - Brayer with your lightest color. (Like Bashful Blue)
Step 3 - Use sticky notes (punched in circles maybe?) to cover parts of your card.
Step 4 - Brayer with your darker color (Like Brocade Blue)
Step 5 - Remove the stickys and wipe your embossed images.
Very Cool!!
