Experiment with Leather Embossing in Sissix Big Shot

[@Honestly_Marie]

I was so happy to see that your notes transferred that I exclaimed out loud, “oh yay, it worked!” 😂

[@msjones1782]

Thank you! You have just convinced me to create my own planner cover.

[@pdwhit]

That is fantastic. You made a very beautiful notebook cover within seconds. Thanks for sharing this!!!

[@susane945]

Thank you for that great info! 😊💕🌸👍

[@gulzhanamir4808]

Great idea

[@yubidubi]

Great video

[@ianknight2053]

Thank you. It's not always desirable to have the leather distorted on the flesh side. Have you tried just using the male part of the die on the leather so that the embossing is only visible on grain side?

[@MadameKsMiscellany]

Hi. I have not tried it yet, because I would have to cut my embossing folder in half. But I hear it works well. I would just recommend using a foam surface under the leather rather than a hard surface. (I just use craft foam)

[@ianknight2053]

Madame Ks Miscellany You don't have to cut the folder in half, just open it and lay the male part of the folder on the leather.

Love the video.Please where can I get the embossing stamp folder.

[@MadameKsMiscellany]

Thanks! I found it on Amazon. I think this is the one www.amazon.com/KWELLAM-Musical-Plastic-Embossing-Scrapbooking/dp/B07Y9GGW91/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=music+note+embossing+folder&qid=1616123439&sr=8-1

Hi there ! Thanks for your variety of videos! I am relatively new to leather. I wanted to know if there is difference between veg tan leather and veg tan tooling leather? Which one are you using?

[@MadameKsMiscellany]

Human Tales I'm pretty sure they're the same thing they just might go by different names depending on where you're buying it from. I typically use Craftsman Oak Leaf from Tandy Leather that's my favorite

[@yubidubi]

What extra accessories other than the embossing folders are needed with the Sissix Big Shot? Does the Sissix Big Shot come with the 2 plexiglass sheets?

[@MadameKsMiscellany]

It comes with the base platform, 2 plexi glass layers and 2 layers to help fill the space as needed.

[@kaitlynmoss6831]

Can you cut through the veg tanned leather with the sizzix? I make earrings and use veg tanned from Tandy and have been looking at sizzix cause I have better die options I think.

[@MadameKsMiscellany]

I haven't tried but I think if the dies are durable and the leather is the light weight 2/3 oz then it could work

[@gayleb1000]

When it comes to music notes (just like text) there is a right side and wrong side to read them. You don't want the music notes to be backwards on anything. Google the correct way music notes, treble clef, etc. should look before you begin your project.

[@patriciawiley99]

I noticed that too. The deboss (or depression into the material is backwards). The emboss side (what pops out) is what the folder manufacturer had intended since these were primarily designed for greeting card design where the design is supposed to pop out of the paper. It's still a very cool effect, but with anything that involves a right and wrong side, such as music or writing, there will be a hitch.

[@stefanieray6054]

Does this work for most types of leather? Will this work with leather with a textured side? Tia

[@MadameKsMiscellany]

It's best with tooling leather. I've had some luck with others but the imprint isn't deep. But works to get the design outline and paint it

[@stefanieray6054]

Madame Ks Miscellany Thanks for your reply.

[@sissyflores719]

Do you spray or use a damp cloth on the leather

[@MadameKsMiscellany]

You could do either but use plenty of water. I actually ran it under running water then let it sit until the color starts to come back. You don't want it soaking wet but you do want it well "cased" first

[@beverlylee6357]

Do you like the Sissix or the Cuttlebug more for embossing leather

[@MadameKsMiscellany]

I haven't used cuttlebug, but I really recommend sissix. You get a nice deep imprint.
