Glassine Envelopes - Embossing

I saw this really cute idea, and learned what a Glassine Envelop is as well. Tiffany Windsor took one of these envelopes and embossed it using embossing folders. Turned out really cute and she had great ideas on what to use them for.
Here is her video on how she did it, hope you like it! She has a number of videos on how to do things and she is talented and comes up with ideas you would never think of - ok I wouldn't.

I went and looked up the envelopes to see how much they would cost and I found 50 for $6.99 and the site and even more ideas on what to do with them. I am sure there are plenty of places to sell them...but I like that they showed ideas on using them. Average elsewhere was 10 for $2..so the cost for them is ideal - especially considering what you can do with them.  Here is link where they were 50 for $6.99.

Ultimate Crafter's Companion

It seems that the most asked question of noobies is what items could you just not live without. I will be Labeling them all with tools, so to see all of them just click on that label.
The Crafter's Companion is my first choice, and pretty much was my first tool I bought. I was making cards and wanted to be able to make my own envelopes - after searching and asking questions I decided this is what I wanted! I saved up and bought this Ultimate Crafters Companion, it cost a little more than just the envelope make but it was well worth it!
