Greeting from Spellbinders! We are excited to be a sponsor of the upcoming Great Canadian Scrapbook Carnivals this spring! We’re stopping by the blog today to talk Three-Dimensional Embossing Folders. 3D Embossing is an easy way to create huge impact in your projects by shaping and sculpting paper into amazing works of art. With a spritz of water and a pass through your Spellbinders Platinum machine with the Universal Plate System, you can transform cardstock, patterned paper, vellum and more into stunning textured elements that bring any project to the next level. Here at Spellbinders, we’ve curated a collection of detailed 3D Embossing Folders for all occasions. From versatile basics to intricate holiday patterns, there’s a 3D folder for every project.

Hi, Connie Nichol here today with a quick card using Viva Decor products, plain white cardstock, and a recycled dictionary page. I had a pile of old dictionaries in my craft room to create projects for the next issue of Creative Scrapbooker Magazine. I took a piece of white cardstock, die-cut a heart on the top 1/3 and then added dimension using an embossing folder. I then added colour to the embossed background with Viva Decor 3D stamp paint.
