Taking some Time to Play with things

Yesterday, my mother surprised me with a great gift. An eBosser machine. I have both a Big Shot and a Cuttlebug, but the thought that I can cut down on time by not having to crank a handle really made me excited to try it out.
I try really hard to use supplies in ways that will inspire my friends, and I love sharing my ideas. I am sure that many people have already tried doing this technique but for me this is a first time try and I can honestly say, I loved how it turned out.

Supplies:   The eBosser Machine
and whatever embossing folder you decide on.
                          White Cardstock (80lb.)
                           Stickles
                           and most important: " Time to play "

I started on my computer and found some nice quotes to type out onto my Cardstock. I positioned the text to allot for my selected embossing folders and printed them out.

I cut them to size and ran them through the eBosser.
Up to that step, I had already created a beautiful card however I was not ready to be done with this idea. Off to my box of stickles I went.
Up to that step, I had already created a beautiful card however I was not ready to be done with this idea. Off to my box of stickles I went. I started to use the stickles to color in the embossed areas and before I knew it I was taking this project to an entirely different level than I expected.

The dimension of the embossing coupled with the use of stickles to add that much more dimension made for an amazing end result.

I think I have found a new way to marry supplies into something my friends will enjoy.

Thanks for reading and I hope I have inspired you to create something magical.
