Yes, it's true. The leaves aren't even off the trees yet, and I'm talking about Christmas gifts and cards. The key to sending handmade greetings is starting early, so I start earlier yet, preparing to help you.
Today, you will receive the "1st week of Christmas" Card, my gift to you. You'll see a close up of the card and complete directions and a shopping list. If you choose, you can simply click on the "buy now" link and I'll send you everything you need, including cut and scored card stock. I hope you enjoy all the projects in the next 12 weeks! The technique of the month, heat embossing, will add an extra sparkle to your cards.
If you prefer more hands on learning, see the list of upcoming events in "Let's Get It Together", where you can try new techniques and accessories.
Mostly though, I wish you a wonderful fall, with lots of sunny crisp days. Enjoy!

 Technique of the Month
 Heat Embossing

Kelly Acheson
Have you tried Emboss Resist? Here's how you do it...
1] Place your card stock in a Powder Pal tray or over a large piece of scratch paper.
2] Rub the Embossing Buddy across the card stock you want to emboss. This keeps the embossing powder from sticking anywhere but on the ink.
3] Stamp the image with VersaMark ink.
4] Pour Stampin' Emboss clear embossing powder onto the inked image, making sure that the image is coated completely.
5] Shake off excess powder into the tray, and funnel it back into the container.
6] Heat the stamped image only until the powder changes to a shiny liquid and rises.
7] Allow embossed image to cool.
8] Apply ink with a sponge directly to the paper over and around the embossed image.
9] Wipe the embossed image with a tissue to remove the excess ink.
QUICK TIP Avoid overheating the powder and burning the paper when working with a heat tool.
