EMBOSSING.

My mom got a cuttlebug a short while back. The Cuttlebug is an EXTREME embossing tool that can help you make wicked sweet cards.

Here’s a card I made on a recent trip home.

Next time you’re at Kung Fu, you should have all sorts of embossing-themed verbal provocations against your opponent.

“How’d you like my fist embossed on your face!”

Is that like, the M&Ms factory on the front of the card?

hmm… The M&M factory wasn’t my intent, though I’m open to such interpretations.

I imagine I’d be REALLY unimpressed by non-extreme embossing tools.

You can get them at just about any craft store. I think my mom got hers from Joann fabrics. Though Michael’s is another source.

They run about $80 or so if they aren’t on sale. Unfortunately, each of the little embossing kits are about $5 a piece. So it can add up pretty quick.

Still, it’s a really fun craft.

Never purchase anything at Joann’s, A.C.Moore, or Michael’s unless you have a 40-50% off coupon or the item is on sale. Just about everything is offered at at least a 40% discount pretty regularly.

The front of the card says to me: SWEET GEARS. I really think Mom needs an “awesome” embosser, or, perhaps, “rad”.

I think in order for an embosser to be “rad” it would need to utilize lasers from space. I guess an “awesome” embosser will have to do – hope Mom D. has room for the steam engine and rhinoceros in her crafts room.
