Summer is in full swing at our home! My daughters are getting ready to leave today for camp. One is off to Cheer Camp at the local college and the little one is going to the local beach to camp with my parents. (Is it still called camping if the motorhome is 31 feet long?!?) {grin}
As I make sure they've packed everything, I thought I'd post a new video. :)
When you think of stamping and embossing, you think of heat embossing. Well, let me share this fun tip a viewer sent in....

I love the dry embossing using the Cuttlebug embossing folders, a lot of the ladies do not have a machine such as the original Sizzix, the Big Shot, the Big Kick or the Cuttlebug.
You can use these embossing folders without a machine.
Mist your cardstock on both sides lightly with water, this helps to break down the fibers.
Insert your cardstock into the Embossing folder of choice, there are over 100 styles to choose from.
Next roll a rolling pin (or a can of baked beans) back and forth on top of your folder.
Voila!! the dry embossing is onto the cardstock...let the cardstock dry.

I love this idea. I would have never thought of doing that. I have a Cuttlebug and a few of the embossing folders. This makes me want to go out and get some more :). Thanks for the great idea!!!

Stephani, you look like you have so much fun doing these clips. Great job. I would suggest you are not a candidate for the Fiskars Finger Knife.
