Challenge 12 - Embossing

After a bit of a slow start, our Peel Off Challenge last week went on to produce a fabulous selection of entries ... (which was an immense relief to us here at Humbug Hall) ... so a huge thank you to everyone who joined in the fun and allowed us to share your creations.

So now we're left wondering what wonderful cards and projects you are all going to come up with for this week's challenge of ...

EMBOSSING

... especially as we have a fan-tabby-ma-glorious prize up for grabs.

Who would like to win this gorgeous exclusive
Christmas Cuttlebug Embossing Folder?

YOU WOULD?
Well all you have to do is make a Christmas card or project featuring some kind of embossing. Easy huh?
It's entirely up to you what particular embossing technique you choose and just in case you need a helping hand to kickstart those creative cogs, we have listed below a few options available to you.

* an embossing machine - eg. Cuttlebug, Wizard, etc.
* stencils and lightbox
* stencils and embossing paste
* an embossing board and tool - eg. Glitter Girls, Crafter's Comp.
* embossing powder and heat gun
* emboss on vellum or parchment
* emboss on cardstock or use pre-embossed card
If you'd like to see more details of our team's embossed creations then click on the names below to visit our personal blogs. It's always a pleasure to have visitors and we really appreciate all your comments and opinions.

The deadline for this challenge is

As always ... have fun and don't forget to leave us a direct link to your project in our comment box so we can come and admire your creativity.

Finally ... before you run off to play we are considering offering a regular Monthly Special Guest Designer Spot on our Bah! Humbug! team.
You would be expected to contribute a minimum of 2 x DT samples for a period of one month.  If you would like to be considered for selection and be included in our list of potential GDT members, then please show your interest in the comment box below.

    Wow. An amazing theme and prize - as ever totally super DT cards. Would like to be considered for GDT - although don't have a blog of my own so that might prove a problem.

    Another great challenge and the pile of cards is growing week by week. I decided to go down the digital embossing route for the background and some heat embossing on the image and embellishment. You can see my card here

    Hi Ladies,

    This is a perfect challenge for me, because I really love to use "embossing" on my cards and I also really enjoy using my Cuttlebug.

    My card for this week is a sweet little "Sugar Plum Fairy, which is a digi image from Pink Cat Studio. If you like her and want to buy her for your own collection - you can find her at the PINK CAT STUDIO store - HERE.

    And you can find my card, over at my blog simply go HERE!!

    Happy Crafting,
    LISA

    PS: I really HOPE you will consider using "Mr Linky" for adding our links for the challenges. I think it works really well and find it a lot easier. THANKS!!
