Embossing on Glimmer Paper - Decorative Trees

 Sara Douglass, our CEO, shares some fun things every Tuesday afternoon! If you haven't watched her, she really has some fun things to share!  A couple of weeks ago, she demonstrated heat embossing on Glimmer (glitter) Paper! She used the Decorative Trees, shown here, and did another sample as well.  This is so new, that I had to come up with my own card, as I was not finding any inspiration on any other websites!  So, enjoy this full card version using the Festive Glimmer Paper in the new mini catalog, along with DSP from the Seasons of Green and Gold DSP in the Online Store.
