My appreciation
There are so many of you who have given your time or gifts to Luke and I wanted to show how much I appreciate that. Since I haven't been mentally able to be crafty, my Hubby gave me "half a day off" on Saturday to stretch my creative legs. And I was truly giddy!
It all started on Friday when I went to coffee with a girlfriend. As a side note, I managed not to wear any maternity cloths for the first time. I was truly giddy about that too!
Anyway...
It's called dry embossing. I've done the wet one with the glitter and the heat gun but this was much subtler.
After a quick Target run, I was off to Micheal's!
This is what I found. I wanted to find something other than Martha Crafts but it was the superior product. I must have been desperate, I didn't use a coupon! Gasp!

She gave me this baby organizer and a cute card.
As much as I loved the planner, the card was exciting to see.

It comes with these metal plates that I taped to my light box.
Using the stylus, you press lightly on the paper. I found that using light colored paper worked better to see through.
Here was my first attempt. Yup, the letters were backwards. I then turned the letter plate over and did some more testing. Duh!
Here were some results. I mounted each card on a secondary piece of card stock.
I love this ribbon but it frayed so I whipped out the Fray check. One bottle lasts a lifetime.
Every card I made was a one of a kind for all those one of a kind people who care so much for us.
I even lined the envelopes just to put the icing on the cake.
I'm now completely addicted to dry embossing.
Do you like the ones I made for me?
