(This is my second post today...for my Runway Inspired card, please scroll down!)
Every year, Clear and Simple Stamps releases a special Limited Edition set during Customer Appreciation Month. This year's set is Joy- perfect for the holidays or any time of year! All CSS customers will receive a handmade card and a sentiment stamp. Awesome, right? There are also new metallic products being offered, and you can learn more about those here.
With my new set, I created a card with a matching envelope. I used the tag die to impress the cardstock, and added a bunch of glitter!
To go along with the card, I made a matching wine bottle tag. I wanted to mimic the embossed look, but did not have a die of the image I wanted (a wine glass). Can you figure out how I did it??
(I took the pic at a slight angle- when you look at it straight-on the top and bottom half line up)
I got out the jewelry wire, some pliers, and made this:
I ran it through my die cutter as I would an impression plate. I love the thin indentation I achieved with my custom embosser!
