Textured Impressions Embossing : Wedding Theme

If you love textured embossing...   

Just to share an embossing I did few days ago on a white cardstock. This is one of my successful embossing attempt as I always end up with few tears on the paper I used. Have you experience that before? I'm not sure if it is due to the thickness of my cardstock or other factors. Feel free to share some tips and tricks if you have any  :)

Supplies used :

• White cardstock
• Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders 5PK - Wedding Set #2 

 

Happy Crafturday!

My Sizzix Sidekick has Arrived!

Suprise, suprise! I have actually forgotten about this and when the parcel arrived yesterday...I was like..Ooo...Woahh... Thought this thing won't make it to my address. As requested by Ms-(soon-to-be-Mrs) -Neppiaw...this for your view~~~ tadaa!! my Sizzix sidekick (Hello Kitty version). The Sizzix sidekick is perfect for beginners and for those who are eager to try, this is a good start.

Here is the link from Sizzix website for the instruction.

Sizzix Sidekick Machine is exactly what crafters have been looking for - a portable, affordable and adorable crafting system designed for detailed shape-cutting with Sizzlits (small and medium) and 12" Decorative Strip dies, and quick, quality embossing from Textured Impressions and Texture Fades Embossing Folders (small only).

I've been a big fan ever-since I knew scrap-n-crop and have been buying non-stop (oops... ;p) for craft supplies (stamping, papers, inks, etc.) from them. So, my next purchase from scrap-n-crop for my first trial with Sizzix Sidekick is the Ellison design Easy Emboss - Heart with Swirls by Scrappy Cat. Let's wait and see what we can do with it after the thing arrive my doorstep. Can't wait!

I found links below from youtube for Sizzix beginners. Hope it helps and it's a good introduction as well, for those who are not familiar with this machine. The embed code somehow doesn't work here... Hmm.. You can try click the link below.
