Okay, you can't tell by these pictures, but all of these red images were embossed with Stamp-N Stuff's red dragon EP. It is spectacularly glittery, red with golden sparkles--perfect for Christmas. The star images really twinkle, and the other hard-to-see images are little Christmas trees. So I created all these UFOs and now I have more work to do today.I get to see my parents, brother, and 3 of my 4 sisters for Thanksgiving this year. We're having a huge Un-Birthday party, since we're never together to celebrate each other's birthdays. We'll be making all of our favorite desserts and snacks and eating ourselves sick. Anyways, what I meant to say was that we'll be spending a day or two stamping Christmas cards. Which is why I made all of these images to begin with, but I don't know if I can wait another 9 days to use them.
BTW I am too cheap right now to buy and embossing heat tool, so I just use my gas stove. I turn a burner on about 6 or 7 and hold my paper with paper tweezers. I have burned more than one image before because I was not paying attention. But mostly it works just great. I know my sister puts her cardstock on the back of a hot iron to emboss, but it always seems to curl the cardstock.

Wow embossing with your stove! You are brave. I think I would burn my house down! LOL
I love the cute little images!
Very cool - can;t wait to see what you do with those.

Hey Alana, how did you get the card gallery on your blog? I love it! kt

that's SOO funny! i thought i was the only one trying to burn down my house! i tried toaster, toaster oven, iron, curling iron, straight iron, actual oven, and stove. ended up using stove and using 'burnt' images as "distressed embellishments". then i got a heat gun; bit the bullet;sucked it up. i am SOOO glad i did!
