Make It Monday: Embossing
Hi! It's been a long time...life has been busy!! I want to share a set of cards that I made using heat embossing (one of my favorite techniques!). These cards are part of a bundle that I'll be donating for my daughter's preschool silent auction fundraiser.
The design is the same for all six: a die-cut Mat Stack 4 stamped with several images from that same set, a heat-embossed background using a stamp from Damask Designs, and several different sentiments from various sets.
On some of the cards, I rounded the bottom edges. I chose not to include ribbon on these, so they are easily mailable.
I wanted to include a variety of sentiments, they come from Vintage Picnic, Just the Ticket, and Star Prints.
And finally a photo of that lovely embossing!
Thanks for coming by to look!

So gorgeous, Melissa! Love all the pretty colors!
Your embossing looks great, Melissa. Love your color selections and your choic of sentiments. And, as a preschool director, I hope they make lots of money for your daughter's preschool! (I know how important those fundraisers are!)
These are beautiful. They make me want the Damask Designs set! I'm sure they will sell for a great price. How nice that you have something home made you can donate to the auction.
