Technique Tuesday Blog Hop - Embossing Paste Techniques

Time for another Technique Tuesday Blog Hop.  This month our theme is "Embossing Paste". I have to admit I don't use my Embossing Paste as often as I should!  I love the effect it gives.

Do you love punches that coordinate with Stamp Sets?  I do.  There's nothing better than being able to grab a punch when making a card.  The Filled with Happiness Stamp Set coordinates with the Modern Oval Punch that carried over from the Stampin' Up!

The Dogwood flower is the provincial flower of British Columbia and every spring our town shows off it's amazing blooms in pink and white.  I've tried to grow a Dogwood Tree, but haven't been very successful.  When I saw the Detailed Dogwood Stamp Set in the Sale-a-Bration Brochure I knew I had to have it!
