NEW TEXTURED PIECES USING THE SIZZIX

It got a little cooler tonight in the "studio" (the hot messy garage!), so I cut some 30 gauge copper strips and got out my newly purchased "on sale" embossing folders. Actually one was given to me by my good friend Ellinor who found it at Hobby Lobby (the fan shaped design). I had tried to duplicate the pattern using the Cameo Silhouette. It would have taken several layers glued together, weeding out all the little pieces, to get the same effect. Thanks, Ellinor!!!

I love these textures and can't wait to rivet them to heavier copper to make a few more new cuffs. Here's a cuff I made earlier that I'm sure I shared.

  3. Good morning! I cut them just long enough to fit into the embossing folder from corner to corner to get more coverage. Then they are cut depending on the length of the actual cuff and the thicker metal. You've been quiet lately. What have you been working on? Hope all is well.

  4. Just work - it interferes with playtime -plus trying to pull together stuff for an outdoor show I like to do - only 1 week and a 1/2 left - I have stuff to assemble tonight and put on cards - tedious work
    the embossing folders I have are only small - they have large ones - cause your bracelets must need at least 5" to cover ?

  6. Yes, the strips are 5-6 inches long. I got most of my embossing folders through websites of Jo-Ann and Consumer Crafts. Like $3 each on sale! One of my Facebook groups puts them through the rolling mill. Haven't done that as they would have to be cut. Good luck with your show!
