White cs - white embossing powder

When I heat this up some of it turns shiny, some turns gray and doesn't look like any powder was on it to begin with. So, I tried again ensuring that I had powder over the whole image. Part of it again looks gray and not embossed.

Help please.......

When folded it's just the right size for a business card, 3 3/4 inches by 2 1/2 inches.

I really want to find the die that cuts this, but I can't remember where I picked up the cut-out folder!

Does anyone know who made this die?

Also have you found a company that sells SU white thin (think it was 3/8) organdy ribbon?

]]> Card Sketches sweetnsassystamps http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=574614 Hello from Oregon! http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=574613&goto=newpost Wed, 19 Jun 2013 07:40:06 GMT Greetings. I've been lurking for a few months and learning as much as I can. Since it looks like I'm going to be purchasing something from someone here, I figured it would be a fine time to introduce myself. My name is Donna, and I've really come to enjoy paper crafting. I own a Big Shot, a fair amount of what comes with that, some paper punches, and a few stamps and ink pads. I don't scrapbook; I've mainly been doing decoupage of everyday sort of items and some wall art. (I am practically obsessed with Trader Joe's coffee canisters!) Since I have all the necessary equipment, I think card making might also be fun, and it's obvious I've come to the right place. In addition to the paper, I also crochet and knit, and dabble in sewing. (My husband is far better at sewing than I am, so it makes me lazy. ;))

I mentioned being married... I married a Canadian in 2011 and have finally received all my paperwork to live in Canada with him. I expect my cat and I will be moving some time at the end of July/beginning of August from where I presently live in Portland, Oregon to Edmonton, Alberta. I imagine then that most of you can understand the 2 humongous orders I recently places with Sizzix as something of a good-bye, as they don't ship to Canada. I am going to really miss their on-line outlet store. I am also going to miss the immense amount of crafty everything in Portland, not to mention the weather. On the other hand, my 2 stepdaughters can't wait for my move - I think especially the move of all my crafty stuff into their house, LOL! One girl knits, the other crochets, and they both do a lot of art - fellow clever hands. :) In Alberta, my cat and I will be joining my husband, 2 surprisingly mellow teenage girls, a Shih Tzu dog, 3 parrots, and a hedgehog.

Thanks to all for the fabulous wealth of information you share. It is greatly appreciated. :D ]]> Start Here!

{Don’t know what a Progressive Challenge is? Go here to learn!} We hope everyone will join us—whether you’re a traditional, hybrid or digiscrapper!

1. Add a string or other similar object (loose ribbon, thread, hemp, etc.) with a little charm or other object attached to it. You can use a pre-made item with the charm/item already attached or take a charm and a string and try blending the two so it looks like the string is realistically threaded through the charm loop.
2. Use a piece of washi tape or other tape somewhere on the page.
3. Add a date.

That's it for this week!

NOW UPLOAD:

- Remember to first save your page in its original version to maintain your layers, so you'll be able to make changes/additions in Task3.

- Save your page for the web as a .jpg (600x600 or less) & upload to the Gallery by adding the keywords DGSCPR0013Task3; SBC13JUN when you upload. Please also post a link to this week’s work in this thread so we can all ooh and ahh!
