November challenge - Emboss It - updated 30.11.12



(Please scoll down for the latest addition)

Time for a new challenge and for November we are asking you to emboss.  You can use embossing powders, folders, stencils, pastes, metals etc.   Perhaps challenge yourself and combine a variety of embossing techniques.  

Your projects can be for any theme as long as they include embossing.  If you are new, please read our challenge rules given at the top of the page.

I am going to start off the challenge with a little Frantage Encrusted Jewel Technique (of course, I had to!)

I also thought I would use the Stampendous Poinsettia design which is our giveaway prize (until Sunday 4th November).

  9. Hurrah for embossing! I've entered two projects, a card and a bookmark. I think that should be okay by your rules, but if it's not please feel free to delete one!

  10. The designer sample cards are fabulous! Nothing beats embossing powder for texture and elegance. Thanks for inspiring me -- I've also grabbed your challenge blog blinkie, and enjoyed visiting many of the other submitters' blogs. Thanks for sponsoring this challenge.
