    This is beautiful, Dawn! I love the little extra touches that you use on your cards to make them really stand out. I never would have thought of the straight pins, and they are perfect!

    I haven’t done any heat embossing for quite awhile and will definately be pulling out the heat gun again! This card is beautiful, Dawn! Looks like I will have to make a trip to Michaels as well … love the addition of the straight pins! Little details like this make a card spectacular!

    Love Make it Mondays! My favorite part is seeing HOW each one of the ladies does things differently and the different products they use. Thanks for not forcing them to use 100% Scor-Tape, for example.

    Not sure where to put this…but I’d love to see a series where the ladies share their studios with us. I love seeing how other organize (or DON’T organize, as the case may be 😉 their spaces. It could be a video series, or just some blog posts with lots of pics! Something to think about. Thanks!

    I have been heat embossing for years. Love the look of it and “instant done”. No waiting for ink to dry or smudge later. I have a hint though, if you keep your embossing powders in a container (rubbermaid, glad, locknlock) with a few uncooked macaroni pieces it is so much easier to emboss. Use a spoon and cover your image with powder and right back into the container. My clear embossing powder is in a container large enough to put the piece of cardstock into.
    You wonderful girls share so much with us I wanted to do the same for you.
    Have a great day.

    I love this card and I loved seeing the process of making it. It’s just not possible to get the tips and tricks from seeing only a picture and supply list.
    Poking holes in the cardstock for the button FIRST, and the way Dawn threaded the twine to leave the tail on the top was brilliant! I must be living in a cave, cuz I bet a lot of you do it this way already.
    thank you!

    Thank you so much for this video. I’ve never had clear embossing powder explained before and always wondered what to use it for. Sewing the button was educational also. I loved the whole lesson!

    Any tips on using white embossing powder? I always seem to have little bits I cant get off and show up after- if I hit it hard enough to remove them, I end up loosing bits from my stamped images! Help!

    Really great cards. I’ve been looking for masculine themes lately so these are perfect. I like that you showing different variations of the same card.
    TFS!!

    I love to heat emboss and this MIM inspired me to pull my powder out and create some beautiful flowers. I embossed the line art with versamark and halographic powder for a little sparkle and then created the dimension with ink pads and colored pencils. Such an inspiring video Dawn. Thank you!
