I love your tutorials and look forward to them. You are the first stamper on my list. I’m new to all this paper craft and I appreciate your direct-cut to the chase tutorials. Thank You!
Thanks Pamela, no time for long stories unless they are related to why I’m making a project. I have to get back to crafting! Still, the unboxing video of my new ScanNCut was so long because I had to talk through what was actually happening.
Thanks so much Michelle. I was even scratching my head when the 3D embossing folders came out and then I just played around with making my own shim out of several different materials. I settled on a shim made out of card stock.
Thank you for your tutorial. I recently broke one of my embossing folders. I research this all of the time and you are the first one I've seen that uses your regular magnetic platform. How wonderful to make this work without getting out a different platform each time I want to emboss.
I’m glad you found my channel. I hardly ever show how to emboss but when I figured out this hack, I just had to share. Since this video, I have figured out other workarounds too. I’ve never heard of anyone breaking an embossing folder. I hope with this tip, you can tape it together with Painter’s Tape and keep on using it.
Kim I ordered a new embossing folder as soon as I broke it. I have a bad habit of saving which I am trying to break so I tossed it immediately. I'm pretty sure it was beyond redemption. I was afraid I'd broken my Big Shot! It really warped it and it could not lay flat. LOL
Kim, thank you so much for another great video and teaching tool. I have both the Big Shot and Gemini Jr, but have not tried coloring embossing folders. However, because of your great tutorial, I’m again inspired to try something new and different using what I’ve already been blessed with. Thank you for being a great teacher!
Hi Gracie, I missed your comment before. Thanks so much. I will try to do even more tutorials with embossing folders. They are so much fun. Hope to see you checking out some of my more recent videos too.
Thank you so much, I never know I bought a 3D embossing folder, I could not use it and ask a Demo, she did not know how to fix that. You just make it clearly . Great video.
I have used ink on my embossing plates before and liked the look, but WOW that tone on tone blue with those waves plates reallllly looks great! Thanks for the idea!
Kim I absolutely love your tutorials and always learn something new from each and everyone!!! I am so thankful for everything I have learned from you! Your a great teacher!! All of these reasons are why I decided to sign up to be Stampin Up Demonstrator on your team!!!
You get a heart for showing some love Anna. Glad you learned a lot. There is no right or wrong way to do things and I was just making some cards and decided to record exactly what I was up to today. This is such a fun community. Other people spritz water to loosen up the fibers but I mainly use spritzers when I'm coloring. So much to share. So little time.
This is an awesome video. Thanks for all the great ideas. I just ordered the brayer roller and some cool stamp pads for my 3D folders. I can't wait to get them on Friday. I look forward to more of your videos so I subscribed.
Kim, thank you for explaining the 3D embossing technique. I'm getting my order ready and I will definitely be ordering the waves embossing folder. I loved the inking of the folder, they all looked very unique. Using the sponge method is simple and delicate, I can't wait to try it. This was a great video as always. Thanks for the tips and tricks, you're an excellent teacher.
Thanks for your comment. You can try these techniques with any folders and you will be pleasantly surprised at how it all works out. I was crafting today and decided to stop and teach my crafty friends what I was doing.
Great video. I use my old platform from my Big Shot, no tabs with 3D embossing folders and one cutting plate. You can also give the paper a Spritz with water for deeper impression. Have a great day!
Oh yes, I do have spritzers too and so one of these times, I will show that. I can tell you are a seasoned crafter and it is so cool that you have the Old School platform. That is much easier than using my homemade shim. Thanks for watching.
OMG! Thank you so much. I've never used a Big Shot before and I was trying to emboss a 3D folder with a used one that I bought and I thought it was broken. Thank you for helping me. I was about to throw it out the window, along with all of my card making supplies!!!!
Thank you for solving the 3D folder issue. I just went to use the Evergreen Forest 3D folder and couldn't get it to work. I had to use 6 sheets of card stock and no top plate, only the bottom magnetic one. And yes, I still have the Big Shot. Much appreciate. Great job! P.S. Cute name: Papered Chef!
I watch all your videos and have learned so much. I want to thank you for all your time you put into helping all who need it. I know Stampin Up use to sell a blue plate for embossing with the Big Shot. I have searched everywhere to purchase one. Can you help me or give me what sandwich for embossing if you don't have the blue plate.
Judy, Thanks for your comment. It means a lot. I searched for the blue plate and couldn't find it anymore. I remember using 4 sheets of card stock and one cutting plate in this video when using the 3D embossing folders. Not to worry, I think it will all be very clear soon. In August, Demonstrators can order the new Die Cutting & Embossing System (a new machine) and it will be available to customers soon after. I believe the cutting plates are already available now. Those are going to be labeled and so I will be able to easily describe the sandwich to make.
Hi Anidem, sorry I missed your question about felt before. I wanted to share my Back to School series from last year where I cut out loads of different materials, including felt. You need stiffened felt for it to work correctly. ua-cam.com/video/0ZgDeCnnCgA/v-deo.html
Do you ever just spritz your paper before running it though the machine? I love this video and it explains perfectly how to get the textured paper colored...good teacher...thanks
Dolores Bennett Personally, I spritz when I’m trying to color. I use my spritzers with my ink refills and spray color on things. I find the tiny dots annoying and I like even coverage which is why I prefer a brayer for this type of coloring.
I mean do you ever spritzed with clear water? It has been mentioned elsewhere that spritzing with clear water will give a deeper impression to use for when no color is wanted. The brayer is a great idea!!! Have you ever used your brayer on stamps that don't want to take inking seriously? Very irritating. THANKS...
Dolores Bennett No, I’m not much of a paper spritzer but I have tried it and it does loosen the fibers a lot. I like my card bases to stay stiff so I don’t use extra water. Makes them warp too much. I use a Stamparatus for the stamps which give me a hard time. You can keep drinking and try again to get a better impression. Never be scared to experiment because it’s only paper.
I got a sizzix embossing folder today and i tried the sandwich with standard platform,cutting plate,embossing folder with paper and cutting plate and this worked but its cracking my card stock. It is my other embossing folders i am having trouble with it too lose i tried the 4 card stock as a shim and this did not work for me.
Jemma, each machine has a slightly different personality. If it’s cracking your paper, try spraying your paper first with a mist of water. We have a spritzer tool. Water loosens the fibers.
Thank you for replying I am new to die cutting and I will try the spray mist of water. The embossing folders I am having trouble with is the Vintage Swan & Rose Embossing Folder & Vellums Set its too thick as a sandwich and too lose taking bottom plate away i tried the way you did with 4 cards as a shim too lose. I had to use 9 cardstock as a shim and worked lightly.that's alot of card is there another way I also tried standard platform, thinlets adapter,3 cheap card stock, embossing folder with card in and top cutting plate and this worked but I am worried about ruining my thinlets adapter and hoping it not ruin my machine as its not instruction to do embossing folder with it. ls there any other way without using the thinlets adapter I like to follow the instructions but i thought I would try this. I did see on stamping up they do 3d embossing plate would this maybe help. I Do not know if the Vintage Swan & Rose Embossing Folder & Vellums Set is 3d so I do not know if this would help. My machine is three days old I got the standard plate and thinlets adapter with the machine
Thanks Sharon, good suggestion. It has been a while since I did my inking before I embossed. Lately, I have been taking a sponge and inking after I emboss. Thanks for watching.
I don't know if this video is too old for you to answer a question. But, there is a new hybrid embossing folder out now and I have a Big Shot. Do you know what the sandwich would be for a big shot?
I love your tutorials and look forward to them. You are the first stamper on my list. I’m new to all this paper craft and I appreciate your direct-cut to the chase tutorials. Thank You!

Great video. This is a must for anyone new to embossing as you explain everything well makes it easy to follow along.
Thanks so much Michelle. I was even scratching my head when the 3D embossing folders came out and then I just played around with making my own shim out of several different materials. I settled on a shim made out of card stock.
Thank You - You know sooo much and your videos so helpful. Merci - Grazie - Danke - Thank you - Nice greetings from Austria - Europe
You are welcome! Thanks for watching Susanne!
Ooh that’s pretty, I have never thought of stamping the embossed folders before I am going to try this thanks for uploading the tutorial
Thanks, I’m making lots of waves!

Thanks for the tips and tricks on using ink on the embossing folders....great video
Thanks Terrie! I want to show some die cutting tips and tricks sometimes too. Glad you are always here watching.
Your videos are so informative and helpful. TFS! ❤️🇨🇦
I am glad this was helpful. Since then, I have acquired more machines that make it even easier.
Kim, thank you so much for another great video and teaching tool. I have both the Big Shot and Gemini Jr, but have not tried coloring embossing folders.

Thanks Cindy, that makes me feel good considering how many videos are on UA-cam!

Hi Kim, I never tried coloring the folder. I'll have to try that and using the sponge technique. Thanks for sharing the tutorial.
Thanks Debbie! You can use any kind of sponge that you already have to try it. I prefer using this one: Ink Blending Tool & Sponges: amzn.to/2t2IFeT
Oh wow I love my 3 d effect but I haven't tried painting it yet.. Great idea. I always learn on your videos.
Great, something else to try. Each technique will give you a different look and so will be fun for you to experiment.

I have a question can you cut the hybrid embossing folders on the big shot if so what is the sandwhich I cant figure it out
Just a question can you cut through felt if you haven’t got the deep cut blade on the brother cut n scan?

@@PaperedChef I have ordered the spritzer tool and 3d embossing folder plate I really hope this helps me
That’s dope
Where can I buy Celtic embossing folder
If you keep your card on embossing folder while inking it stops the loss of 3D effect.
Stunning pattern of the waves.
Thanks Sharon, good suggestion. It has been a while since I did my inking before I embossed. Lately, I have been taking a sponge and inking after I emboss. Thanks for watching.
@@PaperedChef I think because I am still relatively new to card making it is fresh in my mind I dare say after years I too will forget :)
Sharon Nellis UA-cam lets you save Playlists so you’ll never forget.
I don't know if this video is too old for you to answer a question. But, there is a new hybrid embossing folder out now and I have a Big Shot. Do you know what the sandwich would be for a big shot?
