Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: O'Nelda wants to know: "I don't have an embossing machine and would like to know if you can purchase embossed card paper."
A: There is a line of Coredinations cardstock called Core Impressions (embossed cardstock with a colored core). Other cardstock packs may include embossed sheets in their variety. Before I had an embossing machine I used texture plates and a stylus to emboss cardstock. The texture plates are 2-sided plastic plates with a debossed design that can be traced with a stylus or other embossing tool.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Connie has a tip for the Quarter Fold Card: "This would be a cute way to make a mosaic or window pane design, too. For example, cut a piece of cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4" and stamp with a large image. After coloring, cut to the 4 flap sizes in Step 5 of the tutorial, and adhere to front flaps as described."
