Embossing with Darice

Hi everyone, i`ve been such a bad blogger, 

it`s been a whole month since i`ve last blogged.

Everything is just madly busy but the best kind of busy 

with lots of crafting, & Christmas shopping

Hope you`re all prepared for the festive season

To me it really is `the most wonderful Time Of The Year

I thought i`d share a couple of cards made with the fabulous 

Darice Embossing folders

You can find them here

I love these folders as they`re the perfect size for cards

& you need little or nothing else to make your card

I`ve used Darice Corner Scroll 

the sentiment is Darice 3 sayings

Embossed onto Core`dinations cardstock

& edged with distress ink Worn lipstick

This one is Darice Woodgrain

again used on Core`dinations

Sentiment is Sheena`s Only words

The bird digi is from Crafters Companion

Vintage Floral CD-Rom & coloured
