I just wanted to express what Christmas means to me in the cards I sent out this year. All of the white stamping is embossed with SU winter white, and you can't see in the picture, but the largest piece of dark blue stock has a color on color with night of navy of snowflakes. This card was kind of tedious because of all of the embossing, but it was a lot of fun and I was pleased with the outcome. Does anyone have any tips on how to keep the embossing powder only where you want it?

I made a similar one yesterday for a workshop -- embossed the trees with white ep on Night of Navy cs. To keep the ep under control, make sure you use an embossing buddy! -- Gretchen

Love this! Very inspiring! Michaels sells a product called static magic, its a bag of something that you rub on the paper before stamping or anything that is supposed to keep the embossing powder from going everywhere. it's in the stamp accessories aisle above the embossing powders!

This is a beautiful card! I better be getting one in the mail soon! Somthing you might try until you get an embossing buddy: Use a dryer sheet and wipe the cardstock before you stamp. This will eliminate some of the static that makes the ep cling to your paper.
EDITED TO ADD:
Okay, mine came in the mail and it is even more gorgeous IRL! Great job, Cheryl!
