Seize The Birthday - Embossing


Hello!  Our new challenge at Seize The Birthday is Embossing, chosen by Jenny.  You can heat emboss, dry emboss or use embossing paste, it's up to you.

Or if you'd rather do your own birthday thing, you can play along with our Anything Goes theme.

I've used a new-to-me gift bag die from Waffle Flower, and dry-embossed the smooshed background.

Pop on over to the Seize The Birthday blog to see what the rest of the design team and our Surprise Party Guest Johanna have created, and join in the fun.

  3. Oh it looks like this card would be perfect for a shopper. Maybe someone you go shopping with or someone you're giving a gift to. I love those little gift bags they are unique and go great on your embossed background.

  5. What a fun and celebratory card, Shirley. I also love that you used real tissue paper for the gift bags. I have that die also and have yet to use it. You've inspired me!
