Dear Members and Followers,
This month we take a break from our lettering and take out some embossing tools instead.
The Cambridge Dictionary describes embossing as:
"To decorate an object, especially with letters, using special tools that make a raised mark on its surface"
This will be a fun way to spend a Winter's afternoon following our Christmas in July lunch.

- Masking tape,
- A4 pad,
