I got my big shot yesterday and my die today for my chandeliers, look at what I played around with (you got it, EMBOSSED ENVELOPES WITH A CHANDELIER!!)

front...

back.... (yep it's upside down lmao!!!) i'll work on positioning next time!!

i also did a uber quickie mockup of the stamps on a note card to see if i'd like them on our invite, i think they are pretty decent but i may just like a printed black version of the chandelier because i thnk it would be darker (of course my ink pad is nearly out of ink, so i'll reserve that comment until later lol) and against the proper cardstock (a blue with black ink or a blue with silver ink)  but i like how the jewels look.

@ccrane: i love it!! i love the embossing as well!!

@jabride: i actually saw it on a very expensive invitation suite and loved it...

@smyley:the embossing goes through both sides I would have to put a special plate or something between it to make it go only on that side or a few in there (i am still working the kinks out, I thought it was a great surprise for when the guests turn over the envelopes.  I am also having their names in calligraphy.  these aren't the envelopes that I am using, just an example.. i have no idea what type of papers we're using...

@emshaw: It was only 100 and I got a free thank you stamp with it!! (they are running a special right now)... http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=113439

@mimosa: aren't they awesome!! i also ordered some swirls and stuff and will be playing around with them...

@mrs. moni: i was pleasantly surprised, that was my very first try with the machine and that spit out, i cannot wait to do more things, you know?

@prncss: thanks!!

@labor: i don't have a cricut, if I did it i would use the  big shot to do it.  i am sure that i could only emboss the front if i tried, but i like both sides embossed :o)... i think it's a fun surprise on the second side.

@bluebutterfly:i love it!! definitely check it out there are plenty of tutorials on you tube for it and i actually looked at them versus the cuttlebug before i purchased it.

@dancy: omg totally me too! but it was soo easy to use! i had it in my lap!!

@bluebutterfly:honestly because the stampin up person is my friend and she has one and i knew if i had any problems at all i could call her and she'd walk me through it, but it was SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO easy to use, and i'm sure the cuttlebug is the same way because a lot of folks on here have one. i also liked that it was larger than the cuttlebug and we all know that larger really is better (lmao)!but for what i wanted to use it for (embossing envelopes) i liked the fact that it was larger and that it would hold the envelopes on the other side, i also like the little plate wedgie thingie that it comes with for ease of use.  After researching I noticed that there are tons of fans of both and tons of folks who are against both, etc.  I just sort of made a decision and went with it lol!! shrugging shoulder. i have only used it like twice and i must say i am very happy with the results and mom crebre LOVES the results... when i was showing it around to other friendors they were asking where i bought them lol!

eta: ya'll do know that the envelope was upside down not the chandelier on the back of the envelope, i didn't put it in the right way so it was totally my fault...

@emshaw: i totally know right?! aren't they fantastic?! you should totally try it out!!!

@belle: i sooo uper duper love it!!! M was so impressed with it, I felt like a real diy'er with the results (like a real bee lmao!!!)

@toothfairy: thanks!!

@amanda:cool beans!!  i can't wait to see it!! are you using chandeliers in your theme as well?! you are getting married almost a week to the day after me how cool is that?!

@amanda: that's sooo cool!!! What type of embossing machine do you have?  I of course use the big shot, I am pretty sure that if you stick the second plate between the embosser and the first sheet it won't show up on the second side if that makes sense but I love the little surprise lol!

@amanda:cool beans!! if you are really in love with the chandeliers, definitely check out overstock, they have the chandelier stamps for like 10 bucks.
