Employee Favorite Product of the week

Happy 4th of July everyone!  It's Dawn here with my favorite product of the week.  This week I chose embossing folders by Lifestyle Crafts!  I love embossing folders, they add so much texture and can take a plain project and just give it that extra little wow factor.  As most of you know, I am primarily a card maker and a pretty clean and simple one at that, so I find adding a little dimension and texture goes a long way.  Lifestyle Crafts has some awesome embossing folders.  I really love the way their embossing folders work and find that they give a really nice crisp image.  Whether you use the whole embossed image or cut the embossed panel down, I love the effect that you get!  Another awesome fact is that they work in all other manual die cutting machines, so whether you have an epic, or an evolution or even a cuttlebug, they work in all of them!!  Look at the detail in my cards below and also a few of the embossing folders we have in stock right now.  Swing by the store to check out our selection.

Anyway, I hope you all have some fun plans for today and this long weekend.  Happy Independence Day!

Create: A Stenciling Class

Hi Everyone! Pat here, aka Teknekjunkie... lol... Embossing paste is my new obsession... along with some fun templates.  I can't stop playing with the stuff!  Ha ha!  I came up with another class using the Black Matte embossing paste by Dream Weavers over a stencil:

Some of you may have seen the video for my latest product of the week, where I did a short demo on how to use the embossing paste on a stencil.  Well, that was the foundation for this next class.  Black embossing past makes a perfectly clean and neat border, and an awesome silhouette!  I chose to use it as a border in a sweet wall decor, using inchie stamps:

In my Flutterbies class, I used the gold embossing paste and sprinkled very fine glitter on the paste while it was still wet.  In this class, I will use silver Stickles on dried embossing paste.  The pictures don't show the glitter very well but it is super cool up close and personal!  The inchies are stamped in black ink and embossed with clear powder.

Here are the class details:
