Today I’m sharing a super fun technique — how to make your own DIY embossing folders using dies and punches! This is such a great way to stretch your supplies and get creative in a whole new way.
In this video, I’ll show you:
➡️How I built my own embossing folders with chipboard, dies, and punches
➡️A couple of inking hacks you can try with your folders
➡️Creating 3 cards and 2 bookmarks, just stamping on the fly and having fun!
I’m featuring the Just a Note bundle from Stampin’ Up! along with the Tags & More Dies — and I’ll show you how versatile these can be for projects like bookmarks, tags, and everyday cards.
I hope this inspires you to give DIY embossing folders a try — it’s easier than you think, and the results are so much fun!”
