Bunny Basket
Easter is upon us, and if you are needing to come up with an Easter basket, be sure to check out this gorgeous basket by Joann Jamieson! See the gorgeous photos below!
Hi everyone,
Today I want to share with you another fun project featuring
the Teresa Collins ‘Woodgrain’ embossing folder and since it is almost
Easter I am making a Easter basket.
You can find the basket here
from 3 Under 3 and More. They also have a nice tutorial on how
to assemble the basket. I increased the size of the pieces to 150% and
for all of the strips and the handle after they were cut I used my eBosser and
the Teresa Collins ‘Woodgrain’ embossing folder to give the pieces the
look I wanted. The bonus of this embossing folder is I did all of my
pieces in 1 single pass which is a real time saver.
Here is a closer look at the bottom showcasing the gorgeous
Teresa Collins Woodgrain embossing folder
The sandwich combination that is ideal when using these
embossing folders is:
Platform A
The embossing folder with the card stock inside
Platform C
Platform D
Here is a closer look at the products I used:
I hope to see you again soon. I love to read your
comments, thank you so much!
-Joann
Thank you Joann!
Isn't this bunny basket super gorgeous? And what do you think of Joann's clever use of emboss?

Hello Friends!
Scrapbooking is designed to record those special moments in your life. Misty Christensen did just that in today's project!
Hello Friends!
I'm here with another project for Craftwell, showcasing Teresa Collins new embossing Folder Beautiful Words. I have to say this is a very versatile embossing folder. I've seen beautiful home decor made from a full embossed sheet and adorable cards and scrapbook captions cut from an embossed sheet.
I made a little pocket that can be used as a card or as an embellishment for a mini album or scrapbook page.
I ran the embossing folder with a piece of aqua cardstock, through my eBosser.
Then I just simply cut out the "U", "R" and "Special" from the sheet and inked it up to make the words pop.
A couple roses and butterflies add girlie whimsy to the block letters.
I added a pretty little Fairy tag ~ If I use this as a card, a sentiment can be wrote or stamped on the back. If I us it in a mini, it can be used as a journal spot or a picture mat
Thanks for taking a peek!

Believe
Our Design Team has been so inspired to create home decor with Teresa Collins' 'Beautiful Words' folder, and we couldn't be more thrilled! See what Pam Bray created today!
Teresa Collins Beautiful Words Embossing Folders is becoming on of my favorite folders...so when I seen this frame at my local craft store for 99cents I knew right away that I was going to use the folder and one of the Fleur de Lis Chipboard Book from Sin City Stamps to create my frame with. I started by embossing Black Kraft Paper from Core'dinations along with the Beautiful Words Folder for my background, sanding it off lightly with my sanding block to expose the Kraft center.
I covered the Fleur De Lis with a piece of the yellow honeycomb paper from the Everyday Moments Collection using a glue stick, trimming the access paper away with an Xacto knife and placing on the embossed paper that has been placed in the frame.
Once the Fleur De Lis is adhered to the frame, apply your rub-ons....
I made my flowers using Teresa Collins Summer Stories Paper, a scallop die cut along with fussy cutting out leaves. Once my flowers were formed I placed them along with the leaves and ribbon to the center of the Fleur De Lis, Added a long pearl bead and placed the work "Believe" to a metal paper pick to the top of the arrangement....I hope you check out other inspiring projects on the Craftwell Blog as well as the fabulous Craftwell eBosser...

Paper Luminary
Liz always has bright ideas! And today, we have one of those you can recreate at home! See today's project by Liz!
Hello Crafty friends!
Liz always has bright ideas! And today, we have one of those you can recreate at home! See today's project by Liz!
Hello Crafty friends!
Liz here today to share with you a paper
luminary created using the eCraft and eBosser. If you have visited me before,
you know I love paper luminaries. Today I am sharing one created for my Twin
niece who loves green and wants to cover the flame less candle on her
nightstand.
Creative supplies:
Teresa Collins Beautiful Words EF
Tissue paper
Craft Spray Adhesive
12” Cardstock ( mine is from DCWV’s
Lemon Flower Stack)
Double sided sticky tape
Faber-Castell PIT Artist Pen big brush
in Light Yellow Glaze (104)
eBosser plate combo: ACD + Standard Embossing Folder (for tissue
paper)
eBosser plate combo: ABCD + Metallic Shim for thin metal dies.
Creative process:
Using Craft Spray Adhesive join (2)
layers of tissue paper. Place the tissue paper on the area of your Teresa
Collins Beautiful Words E.F. that you want to use. Run through the fabulous eBosser
- since the frame is 5” I cut the tissue paper at 5 ¼” and removed any
excess with scissors once the project was finished.
Highlight the words you want to stand
out. Using your PITT Pen color the words
directly onto the folder (using the back of the front panel) and run it through
the eBosser again, being careful to avoid shifting of the paper. For a
darker color, reapply before removing your paper from the E.F.
The base was cut using the eCraft.
And cut the window using MCT 4” jounaling tag die and eBosser.
Put the luminary together using double
sided permanent tape.
Interested
in the eCraft Shop Pro cutting file? Please visit my blog: http://unikbyyes.blogspot.com/,
leave me a message and a way to send it to you. The window will be different
since for this I used a metal die. Plus there will be an extra project there
featuring this fabulous embossing folder.
Thank
you for stopping by! Have a crafty day!

Happy Monday Morning! Lol - yeah, right huh? Well, I have a Happy little project that might hopefully brighten your morning! Today I am creating a Matted and Framed Home Decor Piece with the Teresa Collins eBosser woodgrain folder.
If you haven't heard me rave about the eBosser, this sweet machine is just perfect for Home Decor Projects with their 8x10 embossing folders!
I used a yard sale find frame that I painted and distressed. It already had a mat that I incorporated into the project as well.
I cut my Core'dinations Color Core Cardstock to 8x10 and embossed it in the eBosser with the Woodgrain Folder by Teresa Collins and sanded it to reveal the Core Color. I also cut my dies from CAS-ual Fridays in a contrasting color {black}. I used a Spray adhesive to adhere the Die cuts to the Woodgrain Embossed Background, and added a sweet Teresa Collins sentiment sticker to the bottom.

Now wasn't that simple? And what an adorable project for something so simple!

Whale Cupcake
Topper Tutorial
Today we have a slightly different tutorial from our resident Scrapper, Sam! She recently celebrated her adorable babies 1st birthday and no detail was forgotten! See how she transformed her babies special day into a sea adventure!
Hello everyone! This is Sam today
to share a simple tutorial on how I made these cupcake muffin toppers for my
baby’s first birthday.
Firstly, you will need a whale stamp set with coordinated
dies. The stamp set and dies I used is from Studio Calico.
I use washi tapes to position the dies on white cardstock to
minimize wastage of papers. I die cut about 40 whales on 2 pieces of A4 sized
cardstocks.
Once finished die-cutting, I started stamping the whales in
blue and orange inks to match the theme of his birthday party.
Fiskar Stamp Press is very handy now as it is makes
positioning the stamp on die cuts much easier.
Then I stick toothpicks behind the whales with washi tapes
and it is done!
It is very simple and took me about an hours to finish 40
cupcake toppers.
Thanks for looking! XoXo, Sam.
Supplies Used:
Papers –American Crafts
Stamp & Dies – Studio Calico
Die Cutter- eBosser by Craftwell
Others –washi tape, Hero Arts Shadow Ink, toothpicks
Thank you Sam! And Happy Birthday to baby Ivan! Check out all of Ivan's party decor one Sam's blog!

Gazebo Beauty
Hi everyone,
Today I am really excited to share with you my first project for
the Craftwell Design Team featuring the new Teresa Collins ‘Beautiful
Words’ embossing folder & ‘Woodgrain’ embossing folder.
One of the big things we love to do in the Summer is spend time
at our cottage but we rarely take the time to enjoy it. We always have
too many projects and not enough time. So this year I want to spend more
time sitting in my Gazebo. With that in mind I decided to create my Dream
Gazebo!
I used the Winter
Gazebo SVG Kit from
SVGCuts.com and papers by Maja Design and Pion Design. There is a detailed
video on how to assemble this kit on the SVGCuts.com website.
For the roof panels and the panels on the box base I passed them
through my eBosser using the Teresa Collins embossing folders before I
attached them to the project. Another trick I like to do with
the ‘Beautiful Words’ embossing folder is to ink one side of the folder
before you emboss the card stock. By doing this, you get the appearance
of raised letters in the card stock.
Here is a closer look at the top showcasing the gorgeous Teresa Collins Woodgrain embossing folder.
and a closer look at the base. It's also a box! How
cool is that : )
and finally I added a few chairs inside which were also embossed
with the Teresa Collins Woodgrain embossing folder.
In addition to using the amazing Craftwell eBosser, I used
the Teresa Collins ‘Beautiful Words’ embossing folder & ‘Woodgrain’
embossing folders. If you have not used these embossing folders, I
strongly suggest that you give them a try. Since they are 8.5" x
11" in size you have the capability to emboss many things in 1 single pass
which makes creating just that much easier.
The sandwich combination that is ideal when using these
embossing folders is:
Platform A
The embossing folder with the card stock inside
Platform C
Platform D

Easter Card
Will Spring Cards make Spring stay permanently? We hope so! See how Misty Christensen is sending some Spring vibes to one lucky friend!
Hello Friends! I'm thrilled to be serving another term on the Craftwell Design Team!
I got to play with Teresa Collins new Wood grain Embossing folders. This is one of the giant A4 size. it will emboss a full 8.5 x 11 inch sheet.
This is what I made with it, a whimsical Easter card.
I used mt eBosser to emboss a piece of aqua cardstock with the wood grain embossing folder. Then I die cut the fence shape. I lightly brushed the fence with white acrylic paint and a foam brush. I really like the effect and it was very easy.
Then I just embellished it with butterflies I punched with Martha Stewart punches, Prima Bling, some of my flowers and one of my sweet Easter images.
I love the look of the wood grain on the fence!
Thanks for peeking!
-Misty
Thank you Misty!

Scrapbook Layout: Together
We are super excited to be revealing the amazing projects our new design team has been working on! You can really see their style come through the pictures! See how Pam Bray put together today's scrapbook layout!
So excited to share with you my first design team project for Craftwell using the eBosser and Teresa Collins Woodgrain Embossing Folder. What better way than to use Teresa Collins Everyday Moments Collection...since I titled my layout "Together". My husband and I have been "Together" since we were 16 years old, so Everyday Moments is just perfect for us. I started my project by layering the pretty pattern papers....
and then running Yellow Core'dinations through the eBosser using the Teresa Collins Woodgrain Embossing Folder. Love the depth of the embossing...do you see the circle embellishment. I punched 3 circles using a 1" circle punch and embossed them also before I placed them on a pop dot.
I love to fussy cut, it is one of the my favorite ways to make embellishments....so the flowers on the pattern papers are perfect to do just that.
The leaves are hand cut and ran through the Woodgrain Embossing Folder...I like to squish, fold, bend, wad them up until I get the shape I want and the embossing folder just makes them come to life...I hope you enjoyed my first project and check out other products and projects here on Craftwell.

Thanks Pam!

Home Decor Plaque
We have another beautiful home decor project! Today Liz (Unik By Yes) is sharing a beautiful display plaque using the 'Beautiful Words' folder by Teresa Collins!
See her tutorial below!
See her tutorial below!
Liz here to share with you a home stretched
canvas created using the Teresa Collins Love Words Embossing Folder.
The story behind:
I have been hooked on the chalk effect for the
past few months and when I saw the TC Love Words EF I knew I had to try the
"Faux Letterpress Technique" using Black Gesso and White Gelatos.
Since I tend to change my decor quite often I am always looking for
"timeless" pieces that could easily be relocated around the house, I
think this one fits the bill don’t you?
I went
for B&W because I really wanted the message to stand out, and it matches my
craft space colors. If you try this at home you could use any colors that suit
your own decor J.
Since I could not stop I created another one to
go on our “family picture wall” -hopefully to be finished soon *wink* wink* -
Creative Supplies:
Teresa
Collins : Love Words Embossing Folder
Unfinished wood frame ( mine is from Michaels)
Unbleached Muslin ( about 4 “ larger than your
fame so you can wrap it around the edges) (Got mine at Joann’s but pretty much

Black acrylic paint ( for first canvas only)

finished
