Hello! And welcome to another Global Video Hop. This month we are all focusing on ways to use embossing folders. I’ve been sharing in my classes a fun tip on how to emboss cardstock larger than your folder without getting a seam, so my share is a demonstration video of this easy technique.
Sometimes you will want to use one of the mini folders (3 1/4″ wide) for a full sized card. Or use a standard embossing folder for a square card. Or, as above, any of the folders on a slimline card.
If you’ve tried to emboss in two sections before, you may have ended up with a line or a seam where the two portions join. The hard line is actually caused by the edge of the embossing folder itself, and it’s easy to bypass.
Simply use a standard or mini machine embossing plate, placed in such a way that the edge of the folder doesn’t receive any pressure! Quick demonstration below.

Awesome video on how to avoid the ugly line when embossing, have passed the link on to my crafting friends who
will also find it very useful.
That’s a really valuable tip, and one I wish I’d thought of! Good job. I’ll be using it for sure.
