Embossing on more than cards.

Embossing can be done on so much more than cards.  If you use a little bit of starch or hairspray you can emboss into fabric.  Today’s project is embossing into a bag.  With the border embossing folders it makes it easy to emboss almost anywhere.

Take your cardstock and set over image.  Make sure not to bump or move as this will result in aContinue reading “Dragons and mirrors.”

Tags are for more than bags.

Tags can be used for more than tying on a gift bag.  They can also be used as card candy (accent or embellishment pieces for cards).  So the next time you have a tag that doesn’t seem to go with anything make it a card! The designer series paper, punches, and stamps are from theContinue reading “Tags are for more than bags.”

Any punch can be made a tag.

Did you know that you can create a tag out of just about any punch?  Well, you can.  I’ve taken a few photos to help with the process. First, you want to use your trimmer or cutter to cut your cardstock just barely wider than the punch. Second, you want to fold at the scoreContinue reading “Any punch can be made a tag.”
