This is a CASE of a  Stampin’ Up! #Convention2013 card using the Hello  Lovely Stamp Set.  I inked up the Alphabet press embossing folder  and just placed the cardstock in and rubbed.  No need to run through the Big Shot to get this effect.  If you ink up both sides of the folder, you have […]

Punch  part (or all) of the punch.  Attach a scrap strip so you can slide it in […]
