Center of Attention Product Spotlight - Impressabilities

If you have hopped on over here looking for the Blog Hop(e) for Haiti, please CLICK HERE or see the post below...

I'm super excited to show you this month's Center of Attention product: Spellbinders Impressabilities!!  I absolutely love using embossing folders with my Cuttlebug, so when I had the chance to try out Impressabilities, I was stoked!

Impressabilities, by Spellbinders, are A2 size {4.25" x 5.5"} embossing templates and what is unique about them is they are made to be used in several different ways.  You can use them just as is and run it through a Cuttlebug, or Wizard and create beautiful dry embossed patterns on paper.  You can also use them to letterpress, stencil, or even cut the template and use it for embellishments.
For my card today, I used the die template as an embosser - this is the Paisley Impressabilities.  I love the deep, detailed images it created with just one pass through my Cuttlebug - it was very easy to use and fits a standard sized card.  You can see a detailed tutorial on using Impressabilities with the Wizard, here - however, I layered my Cuttlebug plates like this: starting from the bottom - A, B, 4 pieces of cardstock, embossing mat, cardstock to be embossed, Impressabilities die, B.

See how detailed the embossing is?  I love those crisp edges! 

Want some exciting news??  Taylored Expressions is now offering a 15% discount on all Impressabilities templates!  This steal of a deal is only valid February 16-17, so don't let it pass you by!
