    May 19, 2021 / No Comments

    April 23, 2021 / 2 Comments

    Embossing folders are a perfect way to add a subtle background or a bold pattern to handmade cards and crafts. Join Kim Kesti in the Creative Classroom as she creates with four favorite embossing folders from Spellbinders: Heart and Soul, Scallops, Sun Rays, and Plaid Company. Looking for the perfect sandwich for these embossing folders on your Platinum or Platinum 6? Start with the platform, then embossing folder with cardstock, and one cutting plate on top. (Have you seen our new Glitter Cutting Plates?!) Kim started with the Heart and Soul Embossing Folder and shared some ideas for adding ink to your embossed panels.

    March 23, 2021 / No Comments

    Hello crafty friends! It’s Jean here sharing three cards created with the Spellbinders Embossing Folders Collection, which features four versatile and timeless patterns. Dry-embossing is a terrific and easy way to add textural interest to your papercrafting creation. Additionally, the embossing folder’s pattern can reinforce the card’s theme. Let’s take a look! Combine two dry-embossed patterns: This wedding card combines a background, dry-embossed with the Scallops folder, and an oval, dry-embossed with the Heart and Soul folder to showcase the wedding dress.

    Hello, Spellbinders friends! Yasmin here sharing with you a very colorful trio of cards made showcasing NEW Embossing Folder Collection. So, without further ado, let’s jump right into the step-by-step for how I made them.
