Today is all about sharing some tips for embossing folders that will help you have success + SIP cards that are super cute! Now, today’s tips for embossing folders is focused specifically on the 3D folders. Oh, and I’ve also got a little bit about blender pens in today’s tutorial too! A lot to learn and lots of tips in the video!
One of my HAPPY PLACES is the ocean, and this stamp set just puts a smile on my face! I love that it has some great all occasion greetings and you can make some quick and easy cards. It’s also perfect for SIP CARDS–stamps, ink and paper!
All You Need is a SIP
One of my favorite ways to teach people to stamp is using the SIP METHOD: stamps, ink & paper! That is all you truly need to make cards. Don’t get overwhelmed thinking you need “everything” and that cards are going to take you “forever” to make! Start SIMPLE–with just a SIP!
And then, it’s super easy to just step it up a bit. Add a little more Cardstock, maybe a punch, some ribbon…. Make sure to watch today’s video where I show you a SIP CARD plus how to STEP IT UP.

Tips for Embossing Folders & Using those 3D Folders
Today’s video is filled with tips for embossing folders of the 3D variety. These are NEW in the catalog, and replace the DYNAMIC embossing folders we used to carry. You have to make your embossing “sandwich” a little different!

Tips for Embossing Folders (the 3D Folders that is) You Need to Know
In the video I talked about using a “shim.” I have been able to shim mine using the Craft Silicone Mat. The easiest, and most reliable method is the new 3D EMBOSSING FOLDER PLATE. When you use this with the Big Shot, you start with the Platform, then the 3D Embossing Folder (w/cardstock inside) and then this plate on top. It replaces the clear cutting plate.
I recently sent out an EMAIL to all of my customers with a ton of information about the 3D Embossing Folders and how to use them. If you are NOT on my email list and would like to view this email, CLICK HERE
Let’s Look at the Cards

Very cute cards! Really like the stamp set. Thanks for the embossing tips!
Thanks Pam! I’m glad the embossing tips were helpful to you!
Pretty cards and great technique video, Jackie! Curious if you know if the blender pens are refillable? Thanks!
Thanks for that question Patricia! No, the blender pens are not made to be refillable; that’s why there are 3 of them in the pack.
Thank you Jackie for your video. I thought I would have to buy the new blue shim for embossing, but I do have the old platform with the tabs, so I will be able to use that. Thanks for letting me know that. I love your cards with the Seaside Notion set. Beautiful!
That might work Sue; give it a try. If it’s not enough pressure you may still need the shim.
Jackie, what great cards! I really like the beach scenes! Thanks so much for enlightening me about the embossing folder changes using the big shot. I really like using the embossing folders for that little extra bling to my card. (I am a Michigan native, living in Arizona and no one here has mentioned that change to me.) Enjoying your emails immensely. Irene Blakely
Hi Irene! I’m so thrilled to hear that you are enjoying the emails and I hope you’re checking here frequently for new video and card tutorials! Enjoy!!
Hi,
Thank you for demonstrating the seahorse birthday card.
Absolutely gorgeous!!!
You’re very welcome! I’m glad that you liked that Birthday Card Jan! Thanks for watching!
I watched another Stampin up demonstrator video – not nearly as professionally/ user friendly as your videos. I have been recommending your videos to my stamping friends. T Y
Thanks Jan, I appreciate that! I work hard and it’s taken me years to get to where I am but I couldn’t have done it without all of you loyal viewers and customers!
Jackie – thank you for the tip regarding how to use the plates for the thicker embossing folders. I have the original “book style” plate and your tip really helped. I did make me a cardstock shimmy, but will definitely give your tips a try. Thank you again and thanks for all the tips you give in each of your videos. I love to learn.
I’m so glad this tip was helpful to you Peggy!
