"Faux letterpress" is an easy technique which a really nice effect. All you need is an embossingfolder (and a machine to go with it, of course) and an ink pad of some sort. Add ink to one of the sides in the folder, the one side which will then have the indented areas. This technique works best with smooth cardstock. Note that the reindeer is flower patterned. You don't necessarily need Christmas papers to get some Christmas feeling!
Egna dekorationer är roliga att göra med krympplast. Här är det en julgranskula (eller "pumla" som vi säger där jag kommer ifrån) som jag stämplat med en Staz-on dyna, färglagt i en ganska ljus alcoink, urklippt och sedan krympt i ugnen. Färgen blir mycket mer intensiv när det har krympt så det gäller att hålla sig till den ljusare färgskalan. Och du, ska du ha hål för upphängning i dekorationerna, så kom ihåg att göra det innan du krymper dem!
It's really fun to make your own card decorations with shrink plastic. Here I stamped a Christmas ornament and coloured it with aclohol inks before I cut it out with scissors and shrinked it in the oven. The colour gets much more intense after it has shrinked, so keep to the lighter shades. And, if you are planning to make holes for hanging the decorations, make sure you punch the holes before you shrink them!
