Embossing Folder Ideas! A Clean and Simple Happy Birthday Card Tutorial [2024/47]

[@CindyBushell]

I love the fact you use old stuff like what comes with magazines & charity shop finds! Keep it real!! ❤ I have a huge room of stuff that I need to use. Not more new purchase ideas ❤

[@nbcascards]

Yes! Thank you!

[@369alliswell]

Thank you for producing technique videos and not focusing on new product sales. ❤ you are very inspiring. Sorry about your mum. 🤗

[@nbcascards]

You're very welcome. Thanks for your well wishes. x

[@marusnak1113]

Agree with 369alliswell. I have grown a bit weary of "It's new. You have to buy this now."

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much!

[@marcydobbs1653]

Lovely card. I like your gluing method. Haven't seen anyone else doing that tweezers make crafting so much easier. Thank you for sharing.

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching. x

[@harriettezmalloy7182]

This is beautiful. Love the colors & all the layers & textures. Wow!! Very nice.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much!

[@kerriegood1046]

Embossing folders are still one of the supplies that seem more affordable. Seems like you still get a lot of bang for your buck when using them. Thanxs for all the great videos.

[@nbcascards]

So true! I think they are so versatile. Thanks for watching. x

[@MargueriteAtHome]

Great video, Natalie. Speaking of which, I certainly am glad you decided to start a KZbin channel for your CAS card making! In case I haven't told you, I'm so grateful for the little tips you throw in every so often like using a baby wipe to get glue off metallic card stock. I had shied away from using the pretty rose gold mirror card stock I was so excited to get because of the inevitable glue marks. So thank you! You know this card was already gorgeous after you simply mounted the front panel on the matting piece and adhered it to the front of your card! That would have made a very nice sympathy card I think.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much, Marguerite! I really appreciate every single comment. :)

[@heatherr296]

I get the most random tips from you. Like a baby wipe will remove glue from foiled cardstock. I really appreciate your videos.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! Glad they're helpful. x

[@JoanneDP]

I love your style of mixed media crafting. This card is gorgeous. ❤

[@nbcascards]

[@jogriffiths4797]

Love the card, and I have some of those little embossing folders that I've never used, so I'm looking forward to seeing how you use them. I really appreciate your teaching moments e.g. equal spacing around the cluster for balance, I learn so much from your videos!

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much, Jo!

Such a pretty card. I love the idea of glueing down items before embossing. Brilliant idea and opens up so many opportunities. I hope you are taking care of yourself and that your Mum is feeling better. Thinking of you.

I don't have feathers, but, since autumn is my favorite time of year, I've got lots of leaves. Think I'll give it a go with them.

[@nbcascards]

Sounds like a lovely idea! x

[@pauladyer9845]

Superb! Love it

[@nbcascards]

Thank you, Helen!

[@JH-wd7ul]

Great color scheme and you created a gorgeous card! I have some of the same embossing folders as you have! A lot of mine are "no brand names" but work just fine. I finally bought a 3D folder and it's a lovely pattern, but I feel I get more use from my regular folders. (And I'm pinching pennies!) 😊Thanks for a great video!

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much! :)

[@suzannegatenby7184]

That card i think would be lovely for a sympathy card!! Just beautiful. Hope your mum feeling better.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks for watching, Bird! x

[@bettydavies6716]

I made about 100 wedding invitations using the tiny Cuttlebug embossing folder with the cake on it years ago. Not sure I remember how but think I cut it apart and created a long hinge with a piece of acetate and used a piece of thick card to selectively emboss just the cake without the border! I also love the little Christmas one with a house on a hill.

[@nbcascards]

I did think about cutting the little folders apart. I'll have to give it a go and see if it works. Thanks! x

[@jeanietesta]

Love it... thank you 😊

[@nbcascards]

You’re welcome 😊! Thanks for watching.

[@robinlane9306]

Love the idea of embossing after gluing! Just lovely!!!❤🎉

[@nbcascards]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@bonnerdebbie]

Lovely card, great inspiration and a look at how you store your embossing folders (same way I do) makes a wonderful video. Thanks Natalie, sending warm wishes for you and your mother.

[@nbcascards]

Thank you so much, Debbie!

[@margaretg2097]

I've got brain fog at the moment and I've found your latest videos a great inspiration, Natalie. I have tons of embossing folders but sometimes forget to use them! Thanks for sharing your great designs 🦋

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome, Margaret! Thanks for watching. I hope that brain fog clears soon - I know how frustrating it can be. x

[@gailrodgers3079]

I have got to pull out my vellum. I have the plain and also some colored vellum as well. I am learning so much from you. Thanks. I have a lot of embossing folders, dies and stamps from the front of magazines as well. All the magazines imported from the UK. None seem to be producd here in the US>

[@nbcascards]

Thanks for watching!

[@oheck5570]

Yes please, figure out how to use the mini embossing folders. I have been crafting long enough to have bought them when they first came out but have never found a good way to use them. Love the teal and gold on this card.

[@nbcascards]

Will do! Thanks for watching. x

[@gillpowell506]

Lovely card! Love the colours too! Thank you for sharing how you store your embossing folders as well💖x

[@nbcascards]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching. X

[@evelynbrown5312]

I have the 8 x 8 embossing folders, they are from the Crafters Companion 'Textures' range , the smaller one you didn't know is one too, it's called Hessian, may have come in the small size in one of the magazine boxes☺

[@nbcascards]

Thanks for the info! Much appreciated. x

[@suzannegatenby7184]

Lovely. I'll take a picture of what I found at a good will shop. I store all my 4.25x5.5 embossing folders in it and larger ones in a basket like you. Im not sure what my container was meant for originally but works great in my craftroom

[@nbcascards]

Sounds great! I look forward to seeing the pic. :)

[@catarinahameeteman3371]

Beautiful 😻

[@nbcascards]

Thank you! 😊

[@lindsayjackbutler6388]

I'm in love with this colour combo now xxx

[@samantharobinson4902]

Just found your channel , love it 🤩 thanks for sharing , new subbie here 👍😊

[@nbcascards]

Welcome! Thanks for subbing. x

[@suzannemondon]

You have good charity shops, iv never found any craft items in charity shops .

[@nbcascards]

I feel very lucky to live near a crafty charity shop. x

[@suzannemondon]

@@nbcascards I wish we had them here x

[@ematthews3267]

Newly stumbled across your channel, really good quality and content. Yes I have subscribed😊 your approach to using your supplies is refreshing, pig sick of You tubers constantly using the latest costly release (that they receive free for pushing it down our throats). Would love to have a crafty charity shop near me😢 the only crafty stuff I've found is what I donated😂 Your community page is excellent, I don't/ won't do facebook so it was nice to be able to read up on goings on and future ideas. Eleanor P.S Where is your sticky mat from, still saving up for one.

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Eleanor! Glad you're enjoying my channel. The sticky mat is from Waffle Flower. x

[@keithmarj]

I love your videos - brilliant ideas with so much detail and helpful tips. (However, I do find the tinkly music while you are talking a bit distracting and would prefer just to hear your voice. ❤)

[@nbcascards]

Noted!

[@lindajames1182]

Another inspiring video thank you. Is the craft charity shop that you go to in Saltash?

[@nbcascards]

Thanks, Linda! It's in Cowplain, Hampshire. x

[@CarolineFord1]

I need better charity shops!

[@juliewurf7506]

Me TOO!

[@nbcascards]

Haha! I feel very lucky to have such a good shop near by. x
