Embossing folders are so much fun! It’s the theme for our SBTD Hop

Embossing folders are so much fun and bring texture and interest to the simplest of cards. Did you know Stampin’ Up! currently carries three different types of embossing folders?

• 1– Standard which are approximately 1/16″ thickness that make crisp,clean impressions
• 2– 3-D, approximately 1/8″ thickness with same crisp, clean impressions only deeper and more detailed
• 3– Mini which are like the standard dies only narrower and come in sets of two

Our embossing folders can create a bold statement or a subtle look. Using them can help your imagination soar!

Today I have chosen to use the Greenery (#152716) Embossing Folders on my project to create an impact on my Magenta Madness layer.

Made narrower to fit through the new Mini Die & Emboss Machine, you can use them with your larger machine. They come in a set of two embossing folders that compliment each other. I wanted a bold geometric- type of a look, the embossing folder n the left was perfect. If your cardstock (like mine) is wider it is easily lined up and you just run it through again.

I love the little critters in the Someone Special stamp set (#151643) and thought the raccoon would be perfect for this thank you card. Now this isn’t any ordinary raccoon. . . It’s Pinky! She is a combination of Flirty Flamingo and Magenta Madness Stampin’ Blends.

A subtle texture was needed for the mat behind Pinky, I used the Subtle 3-D embossing folder (#151775)

~ perfect! I used some of our Vellum Cardstock behind the strip of Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon (#146912), to highlight it, and behind the focal point mat to add separation from the 2020-2022 In-Color Designer Series Paper. The Misty Moonlight Twine adds a little sparkle. It’s found in the Flowers For Every Season Combo Pack (#153620)

No card is complete without decorating the inside of the card. Using a Whisper White card base allowed me to use a Magenta Madness mat behind the Whisper White. A small strip of the Designer Series Paper Brought this card together.

Be a little creative by experimenting with your folders the next time you sit down to make a card… Embossing folders can be so much fun!
