Embossing Folder Pop Technique

[@brooksdogdays]

I never seem to use my embossing folders very much, but I will now! Thank you for this video.

[@patgasko2631]

WOW I finally got some time all to myself and I really enjoyed your video Embossing Folder Pop. Once the video finished I went through all my many many embossing folders and set them aside near my work counter to be used ASAP. I love all the backgrounds and cards. Your Techniques are the Greatest and loaded with terrific ideas. I agree with Brenda P. ANY Day that starts with Jennifer is a really good day no matter what the weather is like.

[@jennifermcguireink]

You are so kind. Thank you

[@craftqueen417]

I love all of these, Jennifer, your crafty creativity! I buy lots of embossing folders and don’t use them!??! Thank you for a new spin on them. Have a Great Day!

[@lizziedae91]

Im glad you took time to yourself to organize your craft room. Its good to see you not feeling so obligated to stick to a particular schedule as if you owe us something. I know you never said anything in the past but having a similar personality im sure it has stressed you out before. If anything we all owe you, big time!

[@blip-2024]

Any day that starts with a Jennifer video is a good day! I'm reorganizing my craft room too......YIKES it is chaos!

[@traceybartlam5940]

I remember doing this years back, I even had a Paper Artsy sanding block and some co-ordinations cardstock with white and also coordinating colour core. It’s a fun technique. Lovely cards

[@cindischmidt7369]

It’s always beautiful cards in your videos. Thank you for sharing your creativity

[@brendaelainewaddell1682]

Wow, Jennifer. Thanks so much for this technique. It looks like it's time to pull out my embossing folders and play. 😊

[@Cards4Cancer]

Watching a video from Jennifer is like paying for a class in that technique. Always examples of how to achieve the look, or suggestions on other ways to get a similar affect. Then we see the technique used on several examples. This looks so fun and you have really stunning cards.

[@ChlorJ16]

Your technique ideas never fail to amaze me. Thanks for sharing your gift of imagination.

[@mariaisabellakainzbauer3491]

such a genious technique! ... I am realy stunned! .... Each card is a work of art - something very special! Thank you so much for showing .... A big thank you and all the best from Vienna/Austria

[@jeannebeam3042]

Gorgeous cards! Thanks for sharing your techniques on using embossing folders...

[@VR_HandmadeLove]

Oh my 2 videos in one day☺️. Saw the other one first as that showed up first. The joy on my face and inspiration in my mind is just overflowing. Was feeling creatively 'stuck' for a while now. Hoping to at least to ink blend to start with. Thank you again Jennifer. My card making journey started with you 3 years back, always grateful for you🥰

[@toppersadie3991]

THANK YOU! I had some backgrounds that I refused to toss even though they were really awful. I pulled out my embossing folders and gave the "meh" backgrounds new life. It is amazing how the folders completely changed them.

[@RoseAngella]

They are all beautiful but the tulip one is to die for. Love this technique. 💙

[@cherylthompson9470]

Alrenew just keeps making things I have to have every time Iwhittle down the wishlist! That lace die is incredible and will have to live here soon. Thanks for the beautiful inspiration.

[@Aob2009]

Jennifer, you are the Rockstar! Amazing and I love your cards. Thank you!!

[@dianacathan1038]

Always stunning results from the simplest techniques. Jennifer is the queen!

[@janewebb3477]

I always admire your color choices, which I can struggle with by overthinking. You make it look so easy. Gorgeous cards as a result. You are a great inspiration. Thanks for sharing 💕

[@stefaniestaniak4329]

Beautiful cards. It has been so fun watching your videos where you are using tools that, us long time stampers have had in our stash and forgotten about! This is a fantastic technique. Thank you.

[@deborahlee52]

Absolutely one of your best videos yet!!! I walk away bursting with ideas. Your video give me such a creative boost just when I need it. Thank you so very much 😉🙃☺️😉

[@mrsdiaz86]

I love the Celebrate card with the blue and purple background. The pattern reminds me of the Spaceship Earth ball at Epcot. This would be a great card to give when you're taking someone to Walt Disney World for a celebration! ❤️

[@cindyroman-daversa9194]

I’m so happy for this video!!!! So many of the embossing folders are perfect for masculine cards! Thanks Jennifer! ♥️

[@pink25poppies1]

This technique is brilliant! I loved the one where you added the yellow

[@corinne1691]

The ribbon waves embossing folder looks amazing with the sanding.

[@annehedlund7333]

What a superbly useful video. I have at least 12 embossing folders that I'm not using very much anymore. This is so completely useful and I had made myself a small sanding block so tomorrow is back to creating. Spent today and yesterday in this cold cold weather in Michigan making Easter cards. Trying to stay ahead of the game. Xox

[@jennifermcguireink]

Glad it was helpful!

[@henriette9969]

Awesome video Jennifer, thank you so much for all these gorgeous inspirations. Stay safe and have a wonderful day.

[@Pom88pom]

Great new tips and product...love the wave card just beautiful! Tfs!

[@ellenburke8103]

You always inspire me to go thru my stash and use what I have in different ways. Thank you!

[@janiew4109]

You just gave me a great idea for some quick and easy Christmas cards using embossing folders!

[@teresasanner-fecto3690]

I just love everything about this. I've always loved embossing folders. They're just getting better and better.

[@cindyellis765]

Stunning cards. Such a simple technique that give such a lot of punch!

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thanks so much!

[@stormyswann6177]

You truly are an artist.

[@ChrystalsChreationsWycoff]

What a great idea to do with embossing folders. Love ❤️ this technique too.

[@vickiwillems3928]

I was doing this technique years before the 3D embossing folders came on the market. I actually did this again recently for a special card. It really does make it 'pop'. Thanks for the refresher and a few new ideas.

[@aquinyc]

Love Embossing Folders and this will revive my old ones. These are really beautiful and love the sanding technique (which I had forgotten about). Gorgeous cards!!!!! Laura

[@sueanngutierrez1386]

You are so amazing! Love this technique, thank you for all your fabulous videos! ❤️🙏🏽❤️

[@roslyngore5925]

Lovely colouring and great finishes to the cards!

[@treasurespastnpresen]

The tulip and the bergenia floral are my favorites with this technique. Just beautiful! All are really nice though.

[@jeanwestackroyd2966]

More lovely ideas Jennifer, thankyou for all the sharing.

[@robinleonard8862]

those are all so beautiful, Jennifer! Thanks for sharing!

[@goldenslippa]

Years ago I learned that the process in making embossing folders may cause the edges to cut through cardstock. So if this happens run a piece of chipboard through it to "sand" the edges. Of course I always spritz with water whenever using 3d folders. Thank you for the great videos and inspiration.

[@MimiLisa1961]

I am blown away by this technique Jennifer! I think I’ll be looking into some new embossing folders. I’ve been using a lot of stencils because of the look and the cost allows me to get more looks in my cards. Thank you for your easy to understand instruction that makes me believe I can get the same result as you even though I’ve only been doing this a few years. May you and yours remain healthy n this trying time.

[@marshab2455]

More backgrounds---you are truly the Queen of backgrounds

[@joymoss1898]

This is a great technique! While I was watching this I realized that I have an embossing folder that has raised dots along the top half. If I wanted a night sky, I could ink blend the entire card, use the embossing folder, and sand the dots so that they look like snowflakes or stars!

[@tasst2674]

It’s been a bad day so thank you very much for the two-fer of videos. Very much appreciated the break.

[@friedapartlow]

I really love the mix of colors

[@jennifersmith9344]

Fantastic cards and ideas as always Jennifer!!

[@janevt.5914]

You continue to amaze me ( in addition to making me place orders) both of which I enjoy doing, so thanks very much Jennifer! 🌿🌺🌿

[@mzp6620]

And here I am sitting with a sanding block in my stash for years! 🙄. Thanks for the reminder about this technique, the altenew release is fabulous as always and you did a great job showcasing it. Thanks 👍😊

[@stellaolejar9007]

I'm loving all the new Altenew embossing folders. Your cards are just lovely and so current. Thank you Jennifer for sharing your creativity. God bless you.

[@pennyklie7530]

Awesome technique, beautiful cards... and looks like Altenew has a great new release. Thanks Jennifer

[@kathygroff4526]

Just a fantastic technique! I love the colorful look of all these cards, and am sure I have a few EF which could give nice results. Thank you so much, Jennifer, funny how everything old (the folders) is new again! I see so many featured on companies’ releases. 💐 💌

[@jacalyncolt9373]

Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, Jennifer. Your videos are so professional and fast-paced. We appreciate your precise editing and thoughtful presentations. They are my rewards for completing challenging tasks.

[@dollylabelle4101]

Love this technique, and need to use my embossing folders more! Thanks for sharing!

[@debysanger3847]

Love all of your cards! So Pretty and creative!❤️

[@adrianaduff2740]

You are absolutely brilliant! Thank you for showing us many variations of the same technique.

[@donnasantopietro1901]

I love all your ideas.....You do such beautiful work !

[@janepunzel2087]

These videos are so helpful to restart a clogged craft brain!

[@steen0716]

You are so incredibly talented and creative!❤

[@kathycamasso6672]

Wow, that tulip folder is gorgeous! I love what you did with it.

[@jodenetripp]

I loved this video. Great to see the sanding technique with a fresh new twist! Adding that extra colour after sanding is fabulous and just adds even more! Thank you for always creating such great content and sharing so freely. I love how your mind works, and you always do things I would never think of. Have a great weekend x

[@reginajoffe9064]

So very practical too! Can't wait for my 3D folders to come!

[@Janstroh1]

Thank you for all your creative ideas!

[@angelahartley3212]

An oldie but goodie technique!! Thank you!

[@kezthefam8263]

Wow they are so beautiful. Thanks so much for sharing this great idea I looooove it !!

[@lindaanderson2292]

Just received some new embossing folders yesterday so used them today to try this technique. Love how they turned out!

[@cindydrevs3489]

Thank you for sharing these cool techniques! Loved all the cards, but especially the ones using the lacy florals and the one with the wavy design. You’ve inspired me to get my 3D folders out and play.

[@maryvandenberge]

A video on inks and paper will be so helpful- I’m on my first months of this new hobby and it’s overwhelming to figure out what inks to use with what paper - I have a nice collection of GinaK inks and few distress inks already - HELP! Great video.

[@cherylthompson9470]

Jennifer has done videos on using specific inks if you search the archives. What you want to know depends more upon the technique or look you are going for. Play with what you have and see if you achieve what you want. Relax and enjoy yourself, it is art and there is no wrong way. You get better with practice and you will learn how to fix mistakes along the way. Tim Holtz and Gina K both have lots of helpful videos too, check out the older stuff.

[@loriwikoff1410]

Great use of embossing folder, blending and sentiments! You did it again! God bless and stay safe!

[@sugarhillcrafter1044]

Love all these examples! I have the Bergamot folder and a few others so I’m gonna play this evening!

[@sueellensherer5294]

I've done this with white core cardstock in the past so am excited to try it with inked pieces!

[@cindyhenry1410]

Re-organizing?? Oo I hope we get a tour! These techniques today are so wonderful! Luckily I just ordered the entire new release from Altenew! Can’t wait to try it out! TYFS! ❤️🦋💜

[@jennifermcguireink]

Thanks for asking and I'm afraid not right now. I don't have time to do the tour. :( Too much on my plate!

[@cindyhenry1410]

@@jennifermcguireink any time is good.....we are patient 🙂

[@kathyhunter29]

On my goodness, that is a fantastic technique . Thank you so much. Can't wait to try it.

[@jadhikari0]

Beautiful card so many ideas . Love each one of them.

[@loke-art7383]

They are all so beautiful, great technique ❤️

[@TheSuzyfick]

Hello from Illinois. Love these cards. So much color and the pop of white is beautiful.

[@nans969]

I haven't really use my embossing folders anymore. Only use a couple regularly. I am definitely going to give this a try. I've done similar technique with white core paper in the past with stenciling by hand with templates. I like your color blended paper with folders for sanding.

[@kiwipommiegirl]

Wow! I love your cards Jennifer-the backgrounds are stunning! I only have one 3D embossing folder, but really like the look, thanks for sharing.x

[@geminigirl68]

Love this idea!! My favorite is the ornamental feature with the pearls!! 💖💌💖💌 I can't wait to try this out!

[@pamelalucioni2917]

These are such beautiful backgrounds, great way to get the most from 3D embossing folders, I will definitely be trying this out.

[@Rid2Wal]

I'm going to be doing some gift sets with this, so pretty, so easy. Thank you!

[@ghislainemorin9635]

Merci beaucoup pour votre technique. J'adore et quel bel effet.

[@cherylmccann6641]

Brilliant! I’m so excited about this technique. I love everything about these cards and how I can get more mileage out of my embossing folders.

[@barcelonachair6487]

I second that!

[@gingerpayne7310]

I totally agree!

[@maryrichardson5096]

Lol that`s funny I would like that but what can you do when you just do not have the room I am thinking I need a smaller bed so I can have more craft space.

[@audreypeterson1939]

Love this effect! I remember sending white core cardstock years ago.

[@twillo68]

I love this! A throwback to Inspiration Showcase :)

[@sharonstogner4265]

I love this technique! I realized I had a brand new 4-sided nail buffer that looks similar to the sanding block. Going to try that; one of the sides is pretty rough, so it may work.

[@juliemiller1669]

I bet you will get 4 different results!

[@annehedlund7333]

Talked about using something odd for this great idea. I also have a four-sided nail buffer that will be perfect, thank you
