These are the two cards Nancy taught. I love the look of a Polaroid picture that you can create with the new square framelits. The snowflake card is embossed with silver embossing powder. She used brushed silver paper embossed with the stylish stripes folder.
The Joyful Christmas card was made with versa mark ink and black embossing powder. We had some difficulty making this card. The problem was often the embossed area became flat and dull instead of raised and glossy. In the afternoon class we finally realized it was due to overheating it. Sometimes it would turn glossy and even though the heat tool was turned off it continued to hold the heat in the cherry cobbler paper. If you want to try this card, I would recommend using black Staz on ink and clear embossing powder. I think there is less of a chance of overheating. It is easy to see the clear powder melt over the black ink.
