Awesome news to share with you!!!

Just before Christmas Becky Finch, AMACO's Key Accounts Manager of the Craft Division, contacted me and asked if I would be interested in creating a few samples using the ArtEmboss sheets to be displayed at the CHA Winter Convention in Anaheim!! Needless to say I was jumping for joy and said YES! So, now you know why I haven't posted since the 1st. I was sent several colors of ArtEmboss Soft Metal Sheets and I've been hard at work coming up with projects that showcase one of AMACO's incredible products.

One of my projects is a 2010 scrapbook-framed calendar featuring the Cerulean Blue ArtEmboss sheet:

The really cool thing about the colored metal sheets is that you can sand them to get the aluminum to show through...excellent for that distressed look!

I ran my ArtEmboss sheet through my Spellbinder Wizard to cut out and emboss the leaves, circle and tag. I then used sandpaper to rub off the blue color to emphasize the dry embossing. You can even heat emboss on the metal sheets! I stamped the dove from the new ODBD Confirmation set with Versamark and heat embossed with white embossing powder. The verse is from Scripture Collection 1.

You know how much I love the "little details". I had to embellish with some Silver Rhinestones to add a little bling!

If you didn't already know, Our Daily Bread designs carries the ArtEmboss Metal Sheets in Aluminum, Pewter, Gold and Copper. I was told that the Pewter Sheets won't be available again until February, but ODBD currently has some so run and get yours today!

For those attending CHA Anaheim - make sure to visit AMACO at Booth #2409!
