Embossing Fabric

I think this month's Scrapbooks,etc has to be my favorite!I think I like this mag so much b/c of all the tips and techniques. You know me and my techniques ;)

I really enjoyed every layout and when I saw the tip on embossing on fabric I knew I had to try it with Webster's Fabric Fancies. If you have this issues you should definitely check out that article (layout is by Kandis Smith). I have tried to emboss on Webster's fabric trims before by adhering it to paper with spray adhesive and other various adhesives but it just didn't take. And if you know me, I emboss everything. Brian told me one day he is going to come home and the kids are going to be embossed, LOL!

So, what you need to do is use masking tape! DER! Hello, Ellen. All you need is some masking tape {sigh}. BrIlLiAnT! So when I saw there was a crop over at the Nook, I had to jump on this.

Here is the back with the masking tape after I embossed it with the Morrocan Folder (one of my all time faves). I practiced it on this one first, you know as a tester. So many times I just go for it and then ruin what I am working on. WELL, guess what. I LOVE the tester, LOL!

This is a rather simple layout but I wanted these photos on one page. WE have so much fun and I knew I wanted to use Garden Gala, too. This pp was one of my FAVES of WEbster's and I hoarded this last piece. I actually cut the center that is covered with the photos to use for the raised embellies....shhhhhhh!

Here is the back with the tape after it is embossed.



And then the front...

This is the one on my layout. I sprayed it with some Suede Glimmer mist so it looks a bit darker than normal:

OOOH! and didyou see the new colors at the Twinery??? :):):)

What's up Wednesday?

Can I getta woot woot!?!?!?!? Super stoked about this :):) :) I've got everything crossed right about now...even things I didn't know I had are crossed! wish me luck, I am going to need it with that list.

AND today is a GREAT day over at Passionately Artistic! TONS of goodies going on over there....make sure you link up your fall goodies for a chance to be spotlighted and for some goodies!!! My good friend Maggie works so hard over there to bring inspiration every day.

I have some more FTLOA projects to share with you. A card using some Jillibean Soup patterned papers (that Norma knows how much i LOVE their stuff so she spoils me) and a myStampBOX stamp. ANd I was spotted again today :) I don't know...this paper reminded me of a necktie....just some freehand cutting...

And a layout using Pebbles Inc papers. I have to tell you, I am definitely ordering more of their lines SOON! You know me, I love a good boy line and this is no exception. And tons Cuttlebug embossing on here as well.

The cardstock is Core'dinations....and the camera stamp is from August's For the Luv of Art kit. I hit it with some Adirondack color washes....

Bella Blvd letters that I ran through my Cuttlebug. Just put them on wax paper and voila!

Happy Friday!

It could not be more gorgeous today! I woke up to an amazing breeze coming in the window and Brian let me sleep until 9 o'clock! I haven't been falling asleep this week so sleeping was nice. For some reason I can't shut my brain off at night.

First off I want to mention some give-a-ways going on. myStampBOX has their May give-a-way posted here {cuuuute spring stamps} and the Every Day Cricut Blog has a give-a-way going on right now, too.

And a few days ago I did a little give-a-way myself. Thank you to those of you are following the Cuttlebug Challenge Blog!!! You will not be disappointed ;) My random winner is........................

Speaking of my Cuttlebug....I used it on this layout. I free handed this vase and embossed it with the Victoria plate 37-1916. All the goodies on this layout came from the Serendipity Scrapbooks May kit...it's gorgeous! How much do you love that gemstone cardstock from Core'dinations? Oh and I used my Morrocan folder 37-1909 on the scalloped circle that I cut out using some Spellbinders dies and my Cuttlebug.

HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND EVERYONE!!!!!!!
