You are my Happy Frame by Dedra Long

Hi everyone! Now that the presents have been unwrapped we are looking forward to the new year. You might be headed over to a New Year's Eve party that is hosted by family or friends or both.
If you are like my husband and I, we never show up empty handed to a party.
Today I wanted to share a quick host or hostess gift you could throw together with any frame you might have laying around the house.

I used my Cameo to cut a quote out of black cardstock in a size that will fit inside the frame I had on hand.

I used the negative part of the cut out and layered it with a piece of patterned heart paper from Teresa's You are my Happy Collection.

Place all of the layers inside the frame and easy peasy, a quick handmade gift great for any
occasion! Hope you have a great day filled with yummy leftovers!

She thought Mini Album featuring Memorabilia and TC eBosser

Hi everyone...I hope you enjoyed the Teresa Collins/Craftwell blog hop launch party of the weekend. 

Today is the day you can finally purchase the TC eBosser on HSN.  

It is definitely a MUST have tool. 

The versatility is utterly amazing.  

Large (8.5x11 and 8.5x12) size embossing folders!

The only machine on the market that has that size!!!

It will cut and emboss virtually any other die and folder on the market. 

Oh can you tell this little machine excites me? wink. 

Here is another project I did with the eBossser featuring Teresa's new folders. 

 I embossed 8.5x11 white cardstock and covered the whole front of the album.  

I took the remaining strip from the 12x12 piece of cardstock and ran it through the 

eBosser as well.  Made a nice statement to run it down the center of the front of the book. 

 Really helped add more texture. 

The butterflies are from Memory Box...real thin dies.  

Yes, I cut them out with the eBosser! 

I ran a Large Tag (#12 size) though the eBosser using the starburst folder.  

Inked it with Scattered Straw Distress Ink.  

It really helped the star burst pattern stand out. 

The white embossed piece in the above picture is an envelope.  

I thought it would be fun to emboss something my daughter could use to stick a note in. 

This will help keep those thought private. 

I cut the top of the envelope off to use in another place in the book. 

 Above you can see that I embossed a vellum envelope the the Honeycomb folder. 

I think it is one of my favorites, wink.

It embossed the vellum fabulously and deeply without tearing the vellum.  

Loved that. 

 On the left is the little piece of envelope left over from before.  

On the right is a left over strip from the cover.  

I used it to create a textured piece that would also hold a stitched book that I have given my daughter to write some of her thoughts in.  It will be great for to have this too look back on later in life.  

I wish I had a little book like this to see where my head was when I was 18.  

I challenge you to create something like this for someone in your family. 

I promise they will cherish it later.  

Don't forget to tune into HSN...the TC eBosser is available today at a VERY special price. 

You get all the platforms and FOUR folders with the eBosser available today on HSN.

You can also get multi packs of more folders!
