I just love these colors… Crumb Cake/Soft Suede/Black for a homespun Christmas card look.
The ‘metal’ embossed look is achieved by inking the relief (or raised impression) side of the embossing folder with a Whisper White Crafters Ink pad before running it through the Sizzix die cutting machine.
I have included the materials and measurements and have conveniently linked the materials to my store… hey, you can’t fault a girl for trying!

Hi! I just ordered this stamp set in clear, but am now worried the blocks I’ve ordered won’t fit it. What size of clear block did you use/would you need for this project (please say D!)

Sorry for the delay–just seeing this now… Block ‘D’ will fit them all perfectly.
