My 1st Time Using the Faux Metal Technique

Supplies:  Silver Embossing Powder on VersaMark Ink; Chipboard Tag; Stamp, "Mixed Bunch" by SU and "Tiny Tags" by SU; Ribbon, Everyday Enchantment Calypso Coral and Twine; Paper, "Everyday Enchantment" in Sale-a-Bration; Brad, SU Sale-a-Bration; Heating Gun

I'm doing a demo tomorrow on the Faux Metal Technique.  And this is my 1st time doing it!!!  Could be a little...um...interesting.  lol  The secret was to stamp the image while the embossing powder is still hot.  Also heat it a little longer than usual so it's extra hot.  For my tag, I used 4 layers of silver embossing powder.  Hope that helps.  Have a good weekend, everybody!

Christmas Gift Tags

I hope you enjoy the two Christmas Gift Tags I made tonight. BOTH can be used 1 of 3 ways.
1) Ornament for your tree
2) Hang on a bottle of wine or bottle of sparkling cider to make a lovely Christmas gift.
3) Tape to a gift-wrapped box or gift bag, and use as a gift tag.
I'll post the supplies list tomorrow. I have to go work on my painting - due in class tomorrow.

See a new photo of Lukas the Dog below. I can't believe how much he grew in just one week! He is literally growing right before my eyes. I took this photo today. He loved his first snow. He saw it and started bouncing up and down - it was hilarious!

These were my Christmas Gift Tags this year. So easy to make - and really fun, too.
