    BE CAREFUL with the 3D! I accidentally ran one through my Gemini Jr as a regular and totally warped my plates. Luckily the machine survived. So start with a skinny sandwich and work your way up. Love the brayer idea!

      Really love what you did with these 3D embossing folders. You almost always change my mind from not liking some products to absolutely loving them so I try to buy them. The problem with your gifts and talents is that most products you use are always sold out for several notices!!!

    I’m excited that Simon Says Stamp is doing embossing folders. I couldn’t wait to order them. I know I’ll be back for other things after the hop. Great cards! I use my brayer to apply white paint to my stamps when I want a super white image on colored cardstock.

  31. Andre M. says:

    Embossing folders are so great for subtle background but you’ve shown that you can really dress them up for the wow factor! Lovely designs and finished cards. Thank you for the video showcase!

  32. Karla M Bostic says:

    Jennifer, I can’t begin to tell you how much I have learned from you in the past 4yrs. You take the extra step beyond showing us a new product line, you show us a new way to make a card or tag using that product or one similar. I love when you put out your favorite list because I can copy and paste it for hubby as a wish list.

  33. Mary Holshouser says:

    I miss getting all those hugs. The card would
    be a welcome substitute. Love to ink my
    embossing folders for a colorful design
