I just retired January 31st and I'm discovering many many things and people on UA-cam. Let me just say this, besides the volume of info I get from you, I just love you. You crack me up.... You Tube Influences not only have to pass on info but they also have to be easy to listen to and you, my dear, are one of them. Keep on keepin on! ♥
Your production is sooo wonderful. Of course, the techniques are spot on, but I have to say, I appreciate that you filmed first, then sped up the video while narrating. Finally, I loved that you showed your technique as a finished product. Your voice is easy to listen to and you don't have any canned music. I do not usually subscribe to channels, but for you, I am making an exception. Thank you. Thank you.
You can also adhere the top layer of a paper napkin before embossing. Apply glue stick to entire cardstock base then press onto the backside of the napkin and brayer to adhere.
WOW! thank you so much. This is more, than I was looking for. So many ideas. I've been messing with my folders trying to make the colors pop. You nailed it.
They are all awesome! Laurel, I love your sense of humor so much! I laugh out loud and my husband asks me what is so funny! Thanks for the great ideas!
Wonderful ideas! I have so many embossing folders that I rarely use, so I will definitely give these ideas a try. Little tip- when using a spray on the gel plate, if you put down a thin layer of matte medium first, the spay won’t bead up & you’ll get a good print from it. Versamark can also help with that, too. Same if you’re using reinkers on the gel plate- matte medium or Versamark first will give you a better result.
Great video! This old dog learned some new tricks! Love your philosophy of using what you have, so tired of seeing new products all the time. Your cards turned out beautifully! Thank you for the awesome inspiration!
OMG Laurel. OMG & WOW******WOW******WOW!! Your ideas are Beyond Brilliant and a whole lot ingenious!!! I LOVE using my embossing folders and have tons of them yes regular and lots oldies but goodies……lots of 3D folders and Impresslits…etc and your ideas totally blew me away…..can’t wait to do this and even your share using your gel plate….Ives never had a gel,plate because never would do what others (artists) do but fun to watch…but I WOULD do what you shared also LOVE my Distress inks and colored Ink Pads and again never knew about the distress sprays…so will get a few of these ……so I WILL be playing and creating today with what I have and hubby will make a craft store run for me sometime this week!! LOL!!!! I am a die hard scrapper since 2004 and do make cards now and again but love making embellishment for my layouts and emboss lots for my mahouts. Now and added techniques….I’m so excited it’s like Christmas Morning!! Girl you are so funny and talented and gorgeous!! SO anew subbie here and I hit that bell!!

Hi Laurel. Thanks for sharing such fantastic techniques with embossing folders. I loved how they turned out. I always enjoy your videos. I love your sense of humour. And then badabing badaboom this video was finished. Have a fabulous weekend. 💚🤗
Another fun way to use embossing folders with the gel press: use your embossing folder to embossing a panel of paper. Then roll paint(or ink) onto you gel plate. Use the embossed paper to lift some of the color off your plate, the. Pull the print. You get cool texture for your gel print, PLUS you get some cool color in your embossed panel! I've only done it one time (one printing session), but I got some awesome results
Love these ideas Laura!! I never thought of making my own colored paper! I have about 20+ embossing folders! 🤦🏽♀️ Have to get them out! 😍 Love the gold paper and triangle embossing!
TFS. I don’t have many embossing folders & certainly not any 3D ones. Although I don’t have any washi tape, that was my favorite. I too have a cuttlebug & love it. I recently bought the Magic mat to use since my plates are no longer. You are lucky to still have the Cuttlebug plates to use. BTW, appreciate the idea of using what we have especially when all these companies are showcasing their new releases.
When I clicked on this video I really didn't expect to see anything new. Boy was I wrong! Double embossing with folders? Spritzing the folders? All new to me. The last one you showed & the swiping the embossed image are familiar, but the spritzing and double embossing were well worth my time. Thank you!
This is way fun.. I am so much like your style. If the goods still work, why fix what is not broken. Use ,make due, reuse and recycle.. or what ever that saying is.
Some fun ideas Laurel! My fave is the ink blending one where you have embossed the card, and the brushed over some ink matching the card colour,(or a bit darker) ink over the to of the image. It looks great, and I will try this idea! And yes, I know all about 'swinking'! I watched one your videos about it a couple of years ago, and I still use that technique! Have a fab day🙂xx
I love the speckled egg one you didn't use - so much potential with a little time. Eg, layer up and/or coat with a coffee wash. I've found embossing makes just about any coloured paper look fab! Thanks so much Laurel :D
Wow...talk about a lot of ideas with something so simple. I loved the double embossing. I never even thought about double embossing. Great ideas Laurel. I can't wait to try these. Thank you so much! Oh yeah...thank you for the laughs too! 😂😂
As always thank you for another one of your energized and upbeat videos full of creative ways to make cards. My favorite is the gel plate embossed card fronts and the cards you made with them.
Hi Laurel, I was given a Cuttlebug machine a few years ago from my daughter-in-laws Mom, she wasn't able to use it anymore. I wasn't aware we were able to use the 3D bossing folders with it! I am so glad you did a video on this, now I can purchase the 3 D embossing folders, thanks. Joan
Thank you so much Laurel, I really really enjoyed watching you create these amazing and awesome prints and card stock too. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
The card with the embossed washi tape was out of this world!
Nifty techniques. Thanks for sharing with us!

Hi Laurel, I was given a Cuttlebug machine a few years ago from my daughter-in-laws Mom, she wasn't able to use it anymore. I wasn't aware we were able to use the 3D bossing folders with it! I am so glad you did a video on this, now I can purchase the 3 D embossing folders, thanks. Joan
Love all these ideas, thank you!
I love all these ideas. I really like these videos. Thanks for getting me motivated to dig out older supplies.
