Falling of the Blogwagon
November 14, 2009
Sad but true I fell off the blog wagon. In keeping with my usual style I did not just fall off I did a major dive! I am not sure what happened but I will climb back up and get back to posting regularly.
During my time off from posting I was working in my stamp room. One of the things I was working on was my projects for my hostess clubs. I cannot show you the completed projects just yet since all the clubs have not met but I do want to show you another Omission Embossing idea (sorry the obsession continues!).
Pretty cool huh? Are you wondering, how did she do that?
First, I had to make my high tech template. I cut 4 pieces of lightweight chipboard that I get free every time I order Designer paper. I decided I wanted to emboss only about 1 1/2 inches so that is how wide I cut my chipboard. I bound it together with tape. I put my paper in the embossing folder and closed the folder. Put the high tech chipboard template on top of the folder in the spot you want to emboss.
Sorry about the glarey picture. Now run it through the Big Shot. The sandwich that worked for me was Tab 2, folder with the paper inside and chipboard on top and one of the cutting pads on top. You may have to play with the sandwich layers to make it work on your machine. When it is done you will have a cool strip of embossing just in the area you had placed your chipboard.
This is so fun and there are so many more ideas whirling around in my head using this technique. I know you will come up with some cool ideas so make sure you share them with me!
If you need to order embossing folders or a Big Shot or any other supplies go to my website www.sharonstamps.stampinup.net and enter my store through the Shop Now button. It does make a difference if you shop through my website vs the Stampin'Up website. Thanks!
