Stampin' Up! Reason to Smile Promotion and Double Embossing Technique Video

Hi! 
I'm back with another card using the Double Embossing Technique and a video tutorial so that you can try it out yourself.  Now, I'm not going to win any awards by the quality of this video (by far, lol), but you get the gist of the technique.  Here's the 2nd card that we made at Stamp Club on Saturday and it was using the Reason to Smile stamp set. 

   

For the background layer, I used clear embossing powder in addition to the Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder.  Here's how I did it...

This set is a special for July only, and guess what?  It's valued at $20.95, but is only $5 (clear or wood).  It's only available if you place a $50 order.  The Reason to Smile set will not be available after July 31.  Don't wait, get it now!  Click here for more information!

New Stampin' Up! Fancy Fan Folder and a Cool Technique

Hi!
So yesterday we faced the 102 degree heat and had stamp club.   We did a cool technique that I call double embossing.  I plan on posting a video about it tomorrow, hopefully by me saying it here today it will get done!  Basically we embossed twice, first dry embossed, then we heat embossed using the new Stampin' Up! Fancy Fan Embossing Folder (which I just got and love).
Here's the final project!
