embossing boards and an ATC

For years I have used a mini clipboard for heat embossing, to keep my fingers from getting burnt.  But the one I used had the other style clip on top and was awkward to clip your project on.  Recently I found this style clip on the mini board at Staples so I decided to “retire” my old one. 

I used Stazon and Memento inks to stamp on it and then colored it in with my Copics.  Here I used the SU! sets Tote-ally Tess and Whimsical Alpha. 

My initials were stamped in the corner on the first one but the second one was for a gift swap.  I didn’t know who the recipient would be, so I stamped the tote bag there instead.  To finish them off, I tied some cute felt buttons on with ribbon.

*hint- place a piece of aluminum foil over the board to deflect the heat back up to your image.

And this was my ATC swap.  I love the cute chocolate bunny stamp by SU!  And I just had to emboss them with chocolate scented embossing powder.  :0)

Here you can see the front and the inside.  It opens like a regular card. 

Have a good Monday!
