ABC's Techniques ~E for Embossing

Embossing two ways, it doesn't get better than this! 
I love our embossing folders and I love heat embossing so combining them was a wonderfully creative way to share this episode of the weekly series of ABC's of techniques.
Catch them Live@10am MT Thursday mornings on my Facebook page ( while you're there Follow to get notifications )
PS my favourite ideas wrap up at the 45 minute mark, just saying!

*FYI* edit to say, a second beautiful take on Heat Embossing is shared on November 28 episode*

ABC's Stampin' Techniques ~ Baby Wipe Custom DIY Stamp pads

This is a great way to add some amazing colour to your projects with your solid image stamps!

You'll need:

Baby wipes

Ink refills 

Basic White Cardstock to stamp your beautiful images on

imagination of colour combinations.

This is a technique I pull out regularly. Autumn with fall foliage is probably my favourite time to use my own custom stamp pads. In this video I play with the snowflakes and florals, even fireworks .

I'm excited to try a couple more colour combinations with some more of my florals, soon.

If you give this technique a try, we'd love to see your results on a group Facebook page I have Creativity for Everyone Stampin' Style everyone loves to see what you're up to, please pop on by to like and comment on others and then share some of your own wonderful creations there. Yay
