I saw the video come up and didn’t think it would add much to embossing folders but much to my surprise your technique is a game changer! I would have been reticent in adding that much water but simple spritzing never turned out this well. So thank you for bringing this to us. I absolutely love this. Now I can kick in gear with a bunch of cards! Hugs!
NOW look what you up and did !!!!! I must give this a try. Tomorrow to night is a bit late. But I love keeping it simple. And these are strikingly simple but striking in results. Very CLASSY. Thank you for sharing. I've done wet embossing BUT I've had white cardstock discolor. We have very hard water. I'm going to fill my super fine mister with distilled water when I attempt to wet the cards tomorrow and maybe I'll get better results. I love the way the embossing seems to finish the card on the back side. Everything couldn't be easier and the results are just knock you out lovely. Your sentiments you choose ere wonderful too. I see a lot of folk using these stick on labels and I may want to look into those but so far I am happy making them up via computer and printer or stamping too. I can foil the words and designs if I I use my laser printer too. All in all though the wording you picked out was wonderful and these are geat for male or female alike. I can't wait till tomorrow to get started with these.
Yana, I almost skipped over this video. I am SO glad I didn't. Red, white and beautiful. They just turned out with a WOW factor. Thank you so much. It's good to see a visual because I wouldn't have thought to add that much water on the card stock. I couldn't find the EF in the store yet. Maybe since it just came out they haven't uploaded it yet. Thank you for such a great video.
This is how I have always done mine! So true how it shows every detail so much better. And sometimes when you don't use the water the paper tears. What I use to dry mine is my heat gun and keep flipping it so it don't curl and it seems to strength the paper too. V
Agreed - this makes a HUGE difference, especially with those 3D folders! Great video and GORGEOUS cards, Yana - my mind is brimming with ideas to crank out some cards on my lunch break - and these might even go pretty quick, thanks to your lovely examples! Blessings, C
Thanks! I had all but given up on 3D embossing. I thought I had tried everything and still it never turned out like I wanted. Your method worked great!
Beautiful cards. I never thought to emboss the back of the card. It really makes the card standout even more. Wow! Thank you for sharing your expertise.
That is really smart to add a slightly smaller panel behind the embossing. Oh, and the banner ideas! This was chock full of great tips and tricks today! Stay safe there!
These are stunning! Really, so elegant, as you say! I love that you just added a simple sentiment, yet stepped it up with the gold flag banner edges. Another brilliant design, dear Yana! Love to you, too! 💛💛🕊
Never thought to emboss the back of a card-what a great idea! I always do one mist of water on each side of the paper & have felt that I get great results. But I’ll have to try it using a little more water & see if it makes a difference. Thanks Yana.
Yana, you made reference to a fellow crafter whose name is Yasmin Diaz…is that the right spelling. Thank you for your expertise advice when using the 3D embossing folders! ❣️
Oh I too had trouble with embossing in my Spellbinder 6 but works great in the 8.5 or Platinum. Nice to know you experienced similar situation. I have a new electric embosser cutting machine from Anna Griffth's the Empress and haven't used it yet. But hope it takes embossing plates well. I have some of her older super deep embossing plates that are ultra thick. Will be interesting to see how well they run through it. Meantime thank you I'm almost convinced to give the water treatment another try. I do wonder if the brand and style of paper stock could also play a role in the outcome. I still struggle with glitter card stocks that have the tough plastic membrane as they Emboss fantastic but they do not cut well ever. I have 8 embossing machines and gifted one to a friend that was generic and never used. And she loves that machine. Meantime she also has the large Sizzix so not sure why she doesn't use that. Meantime I often try different machines for different cutting and sometimes two or three set up at one time when making a huge batch of cards marathon style for gifting. Thanx again for taking the time to show this technique even though I'm yet to be a totally in.
oh wow! sounds like you have a full professional craft room with so many different machines! And yes, paper matters, not all papers take water well, especially the glitter paper if it has that plastic membrane
Thanks Yana! Another great video 😍 Also, I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who can’t use my Spellbinders Platinum 6 for embossing. I thought it was just my machine.
Someone else has already mentioned it but if you check out J McGuires' channel she always embosses with her Plat 6. Don't think she uses plates though. Good luck.
I usually spritz water into the air and run the cardstock through it several times. Never thought of wetting the cardstock with that much water. I’ll try this next time I can’t get a particular cardstock to work. TFS!👍🏼
Amazing beautiful cards. I love the look and the water definitely makes a difference!
Yes it does! Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Oh my gosh! I LOVE your nails!!! 💅
awww, thank you :)
Love your videos, always 🥰🇧🇻
Thank you! 😃
Thank Yana, it was a very informative video, I will definitely be doing this the next time I use my embossing folders.
Glad it is helpful! ❤
I did not know I could use that much water! Going to try this method! Thank you, Yanna!
Yes! It helps to loosen the paper fibers and achieve a much more detailed emboss
Big difference with the water, beautiful. Thank you.
It really is!
Love this tip! I've been crafting for more than a decade and I never knew this. Tfs!
I am glad it was helpful! ❤
Wow, the water spritzing is a great tip !

I absolutely love this. Now I can kick in gear with a bunch of cards! Hugs!
Glad it was helpful!
Great demo! I have tried the "misting" but was really helpful to see how saturated you can go
Yes, I like them really damp, especially with these 3D folders ❤
THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I have been a 3D embossing folder failure. I REALLY needed this video!
Yay! I am glad it was of help to you ❤
Beautiful cards, great tips. Thanks for the inspiration! Wishing you a wonderful day, crafty hugs! ❤

WoW! I've never heard of this technique but I am certainly going to give it a try! Thank you!!
Have fun! ❤
Love this embossing folder. Beautiful cards ♥

I never thought of embossing the back of a card. Thanks for all of the tips and tricks. Love how all the cards turned out 💕
It was a spur of the moment idea ❤

I am too glad you didnt skip over it ❤ thank you! There is a direct link ib the description to this exact folder.

yes, with very deep embossing folders water is a must, otherwise paper does tear
Girl, your nails are Gorgeous!! Cards are too :)
That's amazing embossing!
Yes! Water does the trick ❤️
Thank you for such helpful, detailed information ❣️😊

I love ur channel. You teach really good techniques. Thank you!
Thanks! I had all but given up on 3D embossing. I thought I had tried everything and still it never turned out like I wanted. Your method worked great!
I'm glad to hear it! Have fun! I was dry embossing all evening yesterday trying out various papers and folders ❤
Wow indeed...love them. They would make gorgeous book covers and add your own paper sheets inside. Now, how to make the spine? !!!!
Oh yes! That is a great idea ❤
Beautiful cards. I never thought to emboss the back of the card. It really makes the card standout even more. Wow! Thank you for sharing your expertise.

Wow, what a difference!

Great tutorial!
You mentioned about placing a heavy "something" on top to prevent curling…….will it flatten the embossing any…… or not?
A small book or notebook will not flatten it 💖
Wow Fabulous technique! You’re so creative
Thanks so much 😊
Thank you this is valuable information thank you so much 😊

Beautiful. Dang it though. I have 100 embossing folders but I had to order this one. Hehe. TFS
Ohh i love it! can u put down the list where we can buy your materials? plssssssssssss...
Thank you for this very useful information. I appreciate you sharing your unique ideas and thoughts.
beautiful, can ou please tell me where did you get the glue with the fine tip from

Thank you for sharing this tip! It worked well for me using a 3-D folder that I hesitated using until now.
Glad it helped!
Thank you for sharing so pretty
Very nice!!
Thank you ❤
I have only sprites the back of the card. What a difference you got with wetting both sides.
oh yes! it really does make a world of a difference
Lovely
Thank you ❤
Hello, thank you for sharing your talent with the world. I love crafting ....i'd like to know what kind of embossing die cutt machine you have?
Thank you! I have the Spellbinders machine, both big one, Platinum, and smaller one, Platinum 6. Both fantastic
Super helpful, thank you!!
SO beautiful ty!!
Mine are cutting through the cardstock. I have cuttlebug templates and a sizzex big shot machine
Thank you, great. tip!
You're welcome! ❤️
Great tips
Glad it was helpful!
Great ideas
Thank you! 😊
Thanks Yana! Another great video 😍 Also, I’m glad to hear I’m not the only one who can’t use my Spellbinders Platinum 6 for embossing. I thought it was just my machine.
Me too, Deborah. I actually regret purchasing the Platinum 6 overall.
@@momofschnauzers I use my electric die cutting machine for embossing now.
I'm sure that Jennifer McGuire just uses the base platform, a folded piece of cardstock and then the embossing folder with the cardstock inside.
??? I use mine all the time for embossing.
Someone else has already mentioned it but if you check out J McGuires' channel she always embosses with her Plat 6. Don't think she uses plates though. Good luck.
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure!
I usually spritz water into the air and run the cardstock through it several times. Never thought of wetting the cardstock with that much water. I’ll try this next time I can’t get a particular cardstock to work. TFS!👍🏼
I used to do that too, but with these folders the embossing never seems to be as deep as on the example. Adding much more water helped.
Beautiful gaufrage 🥳🤩🤩🌈✨🕊️🤍👍
