      @Yana.Smakula  3 роки тому

      Yes! It helps to loosen the paper fibers and achieve a much more detailed emboss

    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

    • @Yana.Smakula
      @Yana.Smakula  3 роки тому +1

      yes, with very deep embossing folders water is a must, otherwise paper does tear

    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.

      @Yana.Smakula  11 місяців тому

    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!👍🏼

    • @Yana.Smakula

      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.
