With that in mind, today I have made an Autumn themed card and a Christmas card. Well, I had a lovely new set of Spellbinders leaf cutting and embossing dies, bought with a gift card my daughter Mellow Mummy gave me for Christmas, so I had to try them out didn't I?
I love the way the embossing on the shapes turns them from simple diecut shapes into much more dimensional ones, especially on the fir cones. The slightly pearlised card I used for them helps to highlight the embossing.
This week's challenge at Make My Monday is Dry Embossing, while at Addicted to Clean and Simple the challenge is Embossing so I am entering my cards into both challenges.
Does anyone else think back to the TV series of a few years ago "The Restaurant" with Raymond Blanc saying "I am putting you into zee challange" every time they type the word "challenge"? No? Oh dear, it's just me then.....

Very nice postcards
Love the pine branch and cones on the Christmas card the embossing works well, and what lovely Autumn colours in the other card.
Two lovely cards Jane. You're so right about the dimension gives to the die cuts. Thanks so much for joining us at A2CAS for this challenge.
