New stuff....

Well back a few weeks ago I got a Sizzix die cutter... well last week sizzix.com was having a thanksgiving sale. Everything they had in stock was 50% off. Well when you buy from them your order is a minimum of $25. I did the minimum and got four new die cuts and two embossing folders. I love the embossing folders. One of them I got was a set of deer running... I took this one out tonight to make a cute Christmas card. I used shimmery white card stock, brushed gold card stock, and black card stock. I used my A Merry Little Christmas stamp set from Stampin Up's holiday mini and watercolored the image with my Watercolor crayons and my aquapen. The deer look perfect blow the image.

I found the bow and bell at walmart and thought it was such a cute charm. After playing with the embossing folders I want more of them.... dry embossing has never been so easy.

Etching on Glass...

New technique I decided to try that was posted on Splitcoaststampers.com under Emboss resist etching tutorial...
I took Stampin Up newest Stanta stamp set A Merry Little Christmas and embossed on the glass plate. I took Armor Etching creme to etch over the embossing and was able to come up with this really pretty plate... now that I have successfully done this I am going to make a few Christmas presents....




I really got bored tonight and had to do the other piece of glass I had... now I need to go get the rest of the different sizes that walmart had... I used Stampin Up retired Stippled Rose on this one... I wish they had never retired this stamp. This is actually a fun tutorial.
