What would be the best way to get started?

I've done it, and a good friend of mine has a bit of a cottage industry started. She makes coordinating nametags, place cards, etc, using stamps & embossing. It's absolutely amazing!!
She did this one set for a seminar we had in the fall. Using two different leaf stamps, and three colors & the embosser, she stamped the edges, some all the way, some halfway on the edge - first in one color, then the others, then she embossed the rest in gold & bronze. She did the place cards & placemats the same way. They were absolutely lovely!! I just don't think I'd have the patience to do 200 things like that!
I have quite a few stamps & the heat embosser, but they're at my house.
I'm thinking of retrieving them for Valentine's Day, because I simply cannot find any cards that say "You're wonderful but I hope you marry somebody else".
