Double Embossing Strawberry Card

Here is one the samples I made for my recent demonstration of embossing folder techniques.  When you run card stock through a Big Shot twice in two different embossing folders, you get a frame on an already textured piece of card stock.   

            ·         Cut desired shape from chipboard Save
                 both pieces. 

·         Attach chipboard to the back of both embossing folders using Dotto.  Fig. 1   

·         Place card stock in embossing folder.   

·         Use Tab 2 on Multipurpose Platform.  Pace embossing folder with chipboard side down and cover with one clear cutting pad.  Emboss with Big Shot.

·         Position smaller embossing folder over blank area left in card stock.  Fig. 2 

·         Emboss again in Big Shot.  Fig. 3 

Some adjustments may need to be made depending on the thickness of your chipboard.  I used the leftover chipboard from my Specialty DSP packages.

I've got a lot more to post in the next couple of weeks, and there are a lot of great samples of this technique available on the web.  Angie Leach has a detailed tutorial on her blog.

Back to School Skinny Notebook

Now that it is back to school for most everyone, this skinny notebook is most appropriate.  I didn't really set out to make it a "teachery" theme, but I was using the Berry Blossoms Designer Series Paper pack and Fruit and Flowers stamp set and this is what this teacher gravitated towards.  I cut several different papers from that set so the stamp club ladies could do something else and there were a lot of great combinations.
