I randomly thought of it earlier today since I was thinking of Christmas cards (yes, already!). I thought it would be neat to make my own and have seen some beautiful ones that were made by using 'embossing' methods.
What would be the best way to get started?

HI There,
One of my sisters just started selling Close To My Heart stamps and scrapbooking stuff so I decided to have a party to help her get her business going. We ended up doing Christmas cards with embossing as our project and I absolutely fell in love with it. Once you know the way you want your cards to look it's really easy to do - can't believe I didn't do it earlier but it always looked way to hard. Only warning is that it can get expensive by the time you get the embossing gun/warmer, the ink and the various powders you want. Saying that though, between my mom and myself we bought the stuff to do our own cards and I can't wait until finals are over so I can get working on my cards.
Also, I'm throwing a 50th anniversary celebration for my parents at the end of January. I'm trying to come up with an idea using the embossing stuff for favors for the party. That is if I have time to make it since I'm doing a creative memories scrapbook for them to have on display at the party.
So many projects I want to do and so little time to do them.
