Hey friends....is's Michelle back with a new post this week. Have you seen that there are monthly challenges happening in the Crafty Meraki facebook group? It's a great way to get your creativity going and you can win a great prize too! This month I am focusing my projects on the challenge this month, which is 1 product 3 different ways. So I decided to use one of the gorgeous new Press-Tacular Plates and show the different ways they can be used. Let's get started, shall we!
For my first project this month, I wanted to use the plate to create a beautiful embossed background. For this I placed the Crimson Charm Press-Tacular Plate on the magnetic platform, centering it to that it doesn't go over the halfway point. Do not ink it up, as we want only the pressed impression. Place the cardstock on top and run it thorugh your diecutting machine.
Turn your paper 180 degrees but do not move the plate on the platform. Run the cardstock through the diecutting machine a second time. You should now have a beautifully embossed floral background as above, when finished. Trim this down 1/8" on all 4 sides, so that it measures 4x5.25".
Cut the large cake layer from the Festive Delight Dies from white cardstock. To add some texture to the cake layer, run it through your die-cutting machine with the Fern Lattice Background Die, however replace the plastic plate in your diecutting sandwich that touches the side of the die that cuts and under the paper, with a silicone embossing mat. This way it won't cut the design in your paper, but rather just emboss the design.
To add some more interest to the cake, I heat embossed it using WOW! Heat Embossing Clear Matt Dull embossing powder. This gives an ivory cream colour to it and it has a matt finish to it, opposite to other embossing powders that leave a shiny finish.
Cut out the small circles from the same die set as well as the icing and heat emboss these using WOW! Embossing White Puff. This adds a fun texture to them. To heat emboss the small pieces, adhere them to a piece of maskimg tape and heat emboss as usual. This will keep your hands free.
Cut the small flowers and leaves from the Festive Delight die set from white cardstock. Adhere it together and add a small gem using the Meraki Sparkle Clear Gems to the middle of it. Press the Congratulations sentiment and die cut it using the Gilded Expressions Press-Tacular Plate and coordinating die. Adhere the cake together and add to the embossed background. Add the sentiment over the cake stand and add a few more of the clear gems.
And that's it! I love how simple it is to use press plates. Using them like this gives a really elegant look to it and you get some gorgeous dimension and texture to your background. These are really versatile plates.
Be sure to come back next week for the second way to use the Press-Tacular Plates. Thank you so much for stopping by today at the blog. I wish you all the most wonderful and creative day! Until next time, Michelle :)

As a dedicated meme coin trader, I’ve been involved in the volatile world of cryptocurrency for some time now. Over the years, I’ve experienced the ups and downs, from thrilling gains to significant losses. But nothing could have prepared me for the heartbreak I encountered when I became a victim of a ruthless rug pull scam. It all began when I found what seemed to be a promising new meme coin project. The project was heavily promoted, and the ICO (Initial Coin Offering ) seemed like a legitimate opportunity. I was drawn in by the hype, excited by the potential profits that were being promised. I invested $10,000, believing this could be my next big break. However, it didn’t take long before I realized something was wrong. After a few days, the value of the coin began to plummet. My once-thriving investment turned into a nightmare. The project’s creators vanished, and all communication ceased. It was a classic rug pull an exit scam where the developers drained the liquidity, leaving investors like me with nothing. In an instant, my $10,000 was gone, and I felt completely helpless. I was devastated and unsure of how to recover. The emotional toll of losing such a significant amount of money was immense, but I refused to give up.

Be careful of people asking for your money or investment platforms promising huge returns. They lure victims into fake programs. I was scammed of 398,450 U S D. While researching on how to recover my funds, I came across several recommendations on Bitcoin Abuse Forum about coinsrecovery organization. I contacted him via (COINSRECOVERYWORLDWIDE AT GMAIL DOT C OM)and he helped me recover my stolen funds. If you’ve also been a victim, don’t hesitate to get in touch with him. The United States Department of Justice estimates that only 15% of victims of financial fraud report the crime because they are embarrassed, feel guilty or think nothing can be done. There are millions of victims of financial fraud every year.
