  1. I just received my latest SSS haul today and can’t wait to play with all the goodies! But these embossing folders are a must have and are simply gorgeous when paired with your inking technique. My favorite is the Forest Border. I’m always looking for an excuse to place another order! Thanks for all that you share! Merry Christmas Crafting 😉

  2. Wow your cards are stunning! Thanks for doing so many examples and for the video it’s really helpful to watch your process.

  3. Loving the embossing folders.. Such beautiful backgrounds and I really had not thought of putting the ink on the folders and the advice to use a brayer is wonderful..thank you…

  4. This is such a wonderful new release from SSS. I love the 3D embossing folders! Thanks for another wonderful video, Jennifer, full of great hints and techniques!! Take care! 🙂 🙂

  5. The new embossing folders are fabulous and your backgrounds are beautiful! I’m going to go borrow my husband’s brayer right now to try your technique!

  6. Love your results! I’m having a hard time with the embossing folder sandwich for my Platinum 6. I think I need to try a metal shim. Which one do you use?

  7. Fabulous video- so inspirational on how to get more from embossing folders! Plus these folders from SSS are beautiful and now on my wish list!

  8. Amazing embossing folders and love all the wonderful cards you created! Super video – always appreciate your tips along the way!

  9. I would have never tried this technique without seeing your video first! Everything looks so easy when you explain how to create the card…..Thank you so much for continuing your videos!!

  10. Beautiful, as always. I love the idea of using the brayer to get a more even spread of the ink. I’ll have to try that method.

    By the way, where did the Hello die come from?

  11. Thanks for some more inspiration. Your videos never disappoint. These backgrounds are beautiful and final cards amazing!

  12. Jennifer, do you happen to know the sandwich recipe for these SSS embossing folders in a Big Shot? I’m having trouble. Thanks!

  13. Love these,but have a question. I had the idea you need to mist the cs with water and then run through the machine 3 times. You don’t seem to need to do this?

  14. i have the spellbinder platinum 6 and it did not come with a metal shim as you were using the same die cut machine to emboss where did you find the metal shim for yours
