    Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
    Q: Melinda asked:"How is the frosted embossing folder technique done?
    A: You will start with a piece of acetate. Give texture to the acetate by pressing it in an embossing folder. Next, use sandpaper or a sanding block to distress the raised areas of design. Finally, highlight some areas with a white gel pen for added accent. Adhere the acetate to your project.

    Feedback From Past Tutorials
    Lisa has a suggestion for the Totally Totebag tutorial:"I made one, but I had a hard time with the sides staying together. I used sticky tape to adhere the sides together, then I added the paper and a brad after that step and it was so much easier for me. Thank you so much for the template. LOVE IT."
