This week at Cuttlebug Challenge we would like to welcome Robin Willis as guest designer! The challenge Robin has set, is to create a card or project by embossing on a die cut.
For my design today i chose to use one of the stocking cuts(my favourite one!) from the Cricut Christmas Cheer cartridge. I cut my stocking from Basic Grey 'Wassail' papers at 4.5 inches, normal cut, and then popped the plain part through the D'Vine Swirl embossing folder. I added some Colorbox chalk ink to the embossing to make it pop a bit more.
Other papers used are also Basic Grey 'Figgy' and 'Fruitcake' collections, star brad, eyelets, and ribbon are from my stash. Sentiment is HOTP, and i used a small circle punch to cut the corners on the mat!
I hope lots of you will join in this week..................................Thank You to Robin for the challenge.....i think i will be embossing more die cuts from now on!! Pop over and check the rest of the DT for some inspiring stuff!
Thanks for visiting my little crafty nook........i'll see you soon :)

This is very cool and cute. Just a simple way to add some texture.
ReplyDeleteThis is one of my favourite things to do, embossing die cuts, and this is just wonderful. I haven't used d'vine swirls for a while but after seeing this it's coming right out for an airing :)
