I'm currently more than a little obsessed with heat embossing my dry embossed panels.

Paisley - Sizzix Embossing Folder |
Hello Squashettes! Gail here today with a little blingy inspiration for the current any folder and use a shimmery/blingy medium challenge.
I decided to try the double emboss technique. I am not sure I've ever done this before, certainly not often, but I had some NBUS blingy Wow! embossing powders I wanted to try. Ta dah! Bling!!!!!!
I actually managed to bling my desk, the floor and the cat during the making of this card!!!! I used Wow! Cloud 9 and the glittery bits were really fine. I also used Sizzix Arrows embossing folder and Art by Marlene Roadtrip stamp.
I embossed some turquoise card with the Arrows folder, a blue ink pad to give some extra contrast on the arrows, then versamark and the embossing powder. Bling!!!!
I stamped coloured and fussy cut the cute lady in the car and stamped a TH sentiment on a vellum strip to finish.
Dig out those shimmery shiny mediums, get squashing and join the fun.
Thanks for dropping by. Hugz

We are very pleased to have our Let's Squash It!! Empress joining us as our guest designer this month. Please welcome Tina!
"Hi. I am Tina and I live in Slovenia, a country well known for its stunning nature. I have been married to my high school sweetheart and we have one daughter and two sons.
I started cardmaking in 2010 when my husband bought me my green Cuttlebug. I didn't know that one hobby could be so addictive … So, in April 2015 I created my blog to share my passion for cardmaking. Both decisions, to start cardmaking and to start blogging, are among the best in my life, it is so inspiring and I am so happy about all this. I don’t have any specific style, I just love playing with papers and trying different styles and new techniques.
You can find more about me on my blog (http://www.treebug.org/). The name incorporates my passion for environment (»tree«) and card making (»bug« is short for my green Cuttlebug)
I am so happy to be your Guest Designer because I love my huge collection of embossing folders! Thank you!"
Tina says 'For my purple card I sprayed my sizzix embossing folder with nuvo mica mist before running through my cuttlebug. The card is all shining but how to take a picture of this, I don't know, I tried different positions with no success unfortunately... Then I just added some flowers, greenery and gemstones for extra bling.'

Click here to enterHello Squashettes!! Gail here today with a little more inspiration for our current challenge, leave some space and bling it up!
I love keeping things simple, so this theme is perfect for me, and I have masses of bling, so it's wonderful to be using a bit more than usual. Here's my card with Nellie Snellen Ball Flower embossing folder.
I hope you get some time to grab your folders and bling and join the fun. Jo did a fabulous technique time post so check that out for ideas and inspiration.

We are very pleased to have our Let's Squash It!! Empress joining us as our guest designer this month. Please welcome Riet from I need to Stamp!
"Hello everyone, My name is Riet and some of you know me as Riet Harikini. I love to stamp and make cards. But I can also take a trip into the art journals and mixed media. I really enjoy being able to participate here as a guest designer. I find it very difficult to use embossing folders and I hardly ever use them. Until Gail and Jo started this challenge blog. Great idea from these two ladies. Now I use them more often. Enough talking now, let's get to work, and show us your beautiful ideas."
Here's what Riet made:
