I FINALLY got to spend a whole day in my new STAMPIN CAVE yesterday.  My creative little brain just exploded all over the place, all those ideas I been saving while painting, all came flying out.
Stamp cave and made a great big mess all over those 4 wonderful tables.

More room – more mess.  Now, I have to figure out how to control this imagination long enough to finish these projects, it's tough, let me tell you.

Ok, so I had this image I was trying to create, and I just could not get it, after about 4 sheets of card stock, a little light went on….couple of years ago, I saw on a blog, a wonderfully talented lady who works for another company who creates embossing folders, had the same problem and she solved it.  SO I did the same thing.

IMG_1017 I wacked my embossing folder.
YES I DID>

I wanted to emboss down the left side of a card, and across the top of another.

Hey, I know where to get another one, no big deal (I'm my own best customer, LOL),

and I can't begin to tell you how well this worked.

Actually I can begin to tell you, cause I took pictures all the way through (lucky you guys ey?)IMG_1018 .

You need to score your card, then open it, lay this down next to the fold and run it through MR. BIG>  and this is what happens.

A nice little understated boarder design.

BUT WAIT – THERE'S MORE

GUESS WHAT ELSE FITS IN THIS LITTLE BABY?

Ornament punch
Yep, get out that Ornament Punch you ordered from the holiday mini, lay it inside your beautiful NEW EMBOSSING BOARDER FROM STAMPIN UP…..and send it on through MR BIG>

Isn't it pretty.  Looks so Victorian to me. (oh oh, another idea just came in)….  Poor Jack, his walk is getting shorter and shorter as these ideas pop in.  Or, maybe we could run the walk today,,,,,,oops, sorry, back to task.

Anyway, this little science project uncovered something else.  I used our Shimmery Card stock for this (page 159).  It is a little thicker than our regular card stock because of the shimmery finish, well, it embosses beautifully, nice and deep, and oh laalaa,,,,, the shimmer – absolutely stunning.

I added a little color with my sponge Dauber
