Tips for Embossing with Spellbinders Dies

All November long we have focused on embossing.  This week we turn out attention to cut and emboss dies.  As you already know I am a huge fan of Spellbinders dies.  I am a fan because they are so versatile.

Included in today's blog post is a bonus video, it includes tips for getting the best possible emboss using low-profile dies.

Halloween Printer's Tray

Here it is....the finished Halloween printer's tray. :)

When I posted my 4 Product Challenge on Friday the tray was not yet complete.  I had plans to work on it over the weekend and I am excited to say I was able to finish the project.  That RARELY happens in my life.

You can see I made a few changes, mostly the center spot was just not working for me, so I moved it to a bottom spot.  My favorite are the flowers.  I will be using that technique again.  Check out Friday's post for even more ideas for using paint.

Happy Crafting,

Challenge: Paint-40 Ways to Use Paint

This week is all about paint.  I am pretty sure crafter's have been using paint since the beginning of time. It is pretty much a craft staple.  This week I wanted to see if I could come up with a list of things you can do with paint on your paper crafting or mixed media projects.   I made a list of 40.  Of course, I am sure there are more.  I would love you to share your ideas too.

A quick disclaimer:  As you can clearly see this printer's tray is not complete.  But I have a crafty weekend planned, yes a whole weekend of craft projects. I am so excited.  I will post completed photos next week.
