Cool Tip Tuesday - Using Duct Tape with Your Cuttlebug

Here is a quick card I made using the technique I want to share with you today as well as the April Stamp of the Month -- You are. . . 

The set includes 15 stamps and is a great stamp set for both scrapbooking and cardmaking.  Details on how you can get this stamp set for only $5 are at the bottom of this post.

I wanted to show you how you can dry emboss on duct tape with your Cuttlebug for today's cool tip.  I was able to make a video tutorial on how to emboss on duct tape - super quick and easy!

Here are the details on the card.  I covered a piece of 2"x5" cardstock with duct tape and dry embossed using the technique shown in the video.  I cut out the starburst shape using the CTMH Cricut Art Philosophy cartridge (circle5 at 1-3/4").  The rest is pretty self explanatory.

Cardstock:  White Daisy, Black
Embellishments:  Red Bakers Twine
Stamps:  CTMH April Stamp of the Month set (You are. . .)
Ink:  Grey Wool, Pacifica, Tulip
Cartridge: CTMH Art Philosophy
