karma: 2 |  I found another use for my heat gun!
Ok, I'm not very good at DIY stuff, but this forum has been great! I bought a heat gun to make center piece candels like in this thread... Candle placecards/favors DIY
So far I've tried it with my sis' pic LOL this is what I have so far :) 
I bought the heat gun for the SOLE purpose of doing this to candels LOL
I've read about Embrossing...so, I went to Michaels today, got an embrossing in pad a sand dollar stamp and a sea shell stamp and some card stock and made these papers...  
I like the Aqua paper better. Now...I just need to find a use for the paper LOL
But I'm still excited! FI thought I bought the paper that way!!
Sorry the pics aren't great

Embossing is so much fun! There is such a good selection of embossing powders at Michael's!
Have fun! :)

Here is a link to a site where you can purchase the powders (you can get them at craft stores too!) Embossing: Accessories: Online Catalog: The Stampin' Place: Rubber Art-Stamps, Accessories & Custom | |

| Have you thought about making petal or confetti cones? The guests throw them at you as you walk down the aisle, it's an alternative to rice or bubbles.
Alyee form the knot has a template on her page. They are super easy. I'll post a pic when I find one.

Sorry, I postd the first post and then had to run out...
Erin, I LOVE the cones on the chairs, if I have the time, energy and FI doesn't kill me, I soooo might do it!!!! The resort supplies white folding chairs for teh ceremony...so the cones hanging on them would look really cute!
Andi, it was really really easy to do! I read this Heat Embossing - How to Emboss and this How to Emboss: Using embossing powder, heat guns, stampers last night and then I went out today got the ink pad, two stamps, the powder and the paper to play with it. I tried a few out on regular white paper first, but it didn't come half as good as the card stock.
Oh, and in my first post, I said I did a pic of my sister...I did two, one had my sister and her dog, the other was of my two dogs...apparently I posted the pic of my two dogs LOL
Now I'm trying to think of things to use embossed paper for...any suggestions? LOL

embossing is great.
Love the candle. I got the instructions for doing that off one of the gals on Split Coast Stampers & have just needed time to try it.  | |
