Embossing Folders Collection – Pattern Play with Jean

Hello crafty friends! It’s Jean here sharing three cards created with the Spellbinders Embossing Folders Collection, which features four versatile and timeless patterns. Dry-embossing is a terrific and easy way to add textural interest to your papercrafting creation. Additionally, the embossing folder’s pattern can reinforce the card’s theme. Let’s take a look! Combine two dry-embossed patterns: This wedding card combines a background, dry-embossed with the Scallops folder, and an oval, dry-embossed with the Heart and Soul folder to showcase the wedding dress.
