- 2D Embossing Folders: These folders have one layer of depth - making them perfect for creating a raised image background for your projects - whether it’s a card, scrapbook page or gift tag. The effects created with 2D Embossing Folders usually work best when layered underneath other elements to add a bit of extra texture and dimension
- 3D Embossing Folders: These folders have been designed with varying layers of dimension to create images and designs that pack more of a punch! These folders are best for creating individual elements that can be cut out and used as embellishments, but there are also designs to create beautiful backgrounds!
- Cut & Emboss Folders: These products are super clever as they will emboss your projects whilst simultaneously cutting out certain parts! So, you can create beautiful raised decorative details, plus die-cut elements making them perfect for frames and delicate embellishments!
- Metal Dies: You can also create embossed images using metal dies! All you need is a rubber embossing mat and you can create a raised impression of your die shape rather than cutting it out!
- Choose your embossing folder and the card or paperstock you want to use
- Open up the folder and pop your card or paper inside
- Shut the folder and place it onto a cutting plate
- Create the correct plate combination according to the embossing folder you’re using (we’ve listed them below)
- Roll the whole thing through your die-cutting machine
- Open up your folder and marvel at the stunning embossed effect you’ve just created!
