My 35th birthday was last week, and one of my presents was Cuttlebug's All-in-One embossing system, which I can use with my beloved Big Shot (more info here). Thanks Mom!!! I really love dry embossing (adds so much texture & visual interest), and the chance to have a bit more control over the design was too good to pass up. I got one of their Font sets, so I just had to try the "letterpress" technique right away. Basically, you ink the letters and then deboss it. I think this came out really nicely for my first try.
I'm very happy with how easy it is to line up the paper in the All-in-One (with the help of blue/painter's tape of course!), making it possible to make this a one-layer card. The base was cut on my Cricut with A Quilted Christmas (another present; thank you Mom again, and Jo-Ann's for their sales and generous coupon policy!) The leaves are a ribbon, and I filled in the design with an orange glitter pen (Elmer's), so the inside is pretty too! Many thanks to Color Throwdown for their fabulous color combo this week, it really inspired me.
