Ebossed Thank You

-

This card used a few new techniques for me
I was brought an ebosser as Birthday/Christmas present and received it last week
I wanted to make a card to say thank you
I used the embossing folder that came with me the machine
and inked the edges in a brilliance gold pearlized ink
The sentiment was letterpressed using the same gold ink and again the ebosser
Finally the sentiment and mat where cut using my spellbinder labels 
To finish the card I added the cream ribbon
I am not usually one for the inking techniques and this is my first real go
Not bad for a beginner I love the clean cuts and deep embossing the machine does
Really impressed with it - I am so lucky

This card is for the following challenges:

One Stitch In Time - Starting New - inking techniques and ebosser
Creative Craft Challenge - New - new techniques and ebosser
Simon Says - Emboss It
Crafty Girls - Anything Goes

Wow Nicky, this is both very beautiful and very classy. The 'Thank you' for which this card is given will show the depth of appreciation. It looks as though your Christmas/Birthday gift is going to be very well used and enjoyed -. Well, I know how much I have enjoyed seeing this card - Your gold inking adds such richness to this card.
Thank you for sharing this lovely card in our challenge this week. Ingrid xx ( OSAAT Team )

Hi Nicky - I just love the simplicity of your card. Absolutely wonderful, and (I have my thinking head on), wouldn't it look nice made into a batch of cards for a present. You could do them with different coloured matting layers and different matching inks around the edge!! I love this!

Thank you so much for playing along with us at the OSAAT challenge this week, lots of luck to you.

Anyone who know me knows I am a very organised crafter My promarkers have been driving me mad as they were in a number of different containers and I never seem to pick up the right container, so I decided I needed to sort it This is a CD storage box from Tescos it comes with 100 sleeves to put CD in You can find it HERE  but there are many others out there Being sad I had some Pro markers in my handbag so was able to try them in the shop for size! Each sleeve holds seven promakers and each section comfortable hold 10 sleeves or eleven with a little bit of a squeeze As I said I like things very organised or as my DH says OCD! I used some adhesive labels in my Craft Robo and cut out the little circles this way they were still attached to the backing sheet I could colour them and then peel them off with my poky tool and stick to the ends of the pens I also have put a coloured circle on the bar of ...

Promarker Storage Update

As some of you know I tend to be a little bit of an OCD crafter - I like everything to have a place and when I have finished using it that is where it goes. Now when I first started collecting Promarkers I used a travel CD case to transport them and it has worked really well you can see the original  HERE . I then also started to collect some flexi markers and the promarkers brought out some limited edition promarkers so I decided I needed them!        This meant my storage box was no longer large enough so I started to look at ways to improve it I brought a slightly larger box from E-Bay then set to improving the insides I realised if I made some boxes for the pens I could store more in a row, than using the CD sleeves. So using an A4 piece of paper I scored out a box with two dividers so the pens do not fall over (I did warn you I was OCD)  This is the A4 piece of card with the score lines dotted and the solid lines are...
