8/5/23. Just unboxed my new Platinum. Thx for this much needed help with my (too) many 3d folders. Anxious to emboss with my stencils, too

I am a newbie and this video just made me buy the platinum 6! I was on the fence but the fact that you recognize other companies and try to problem solve when using their products with yours speaks volumes!

I’ve been paper crafting for a couple of decades, but I only recently purchased the Platinum 6, so this was a VERY helpful tutorial for me. I really appreciate the detail you went into here. I have a decent collection of different embossing folders from different companies. I prefer seeing a video like this before I jump in with my own experiments. Thank you SO much!!

Finally I found a video on how to use embossing folders. Thank you

I have Ordered the new platinum 6 I will be using all my Spellbinders dies and Embossing with it. I have Sizzix foldaway for my Sizzix dies and Embossing. I really love your 3D EMBOSSING FOLDERS

Thanks so much for your tips, I've just bought a Platinum 6 and have loads of different types of embossing folders already, so this was really helpful.🙂

Very helpful! Thank you

Just purchased a new Platinum 6 and can't wait to get it and start creating! Thanks for all the great tips.

I love my Platinum 6 and I have been experimenting with shims, so this video was so helpful. Thank you!

Very helpful video! I have a Platinum machine, which I think works great! So glad I purchased it several years ago, It has often been a challenge to figure out how to get various embossing folders to work. Wish I had seen this video sooner! So simple and easy now thanks to this well-done video demo! Thanks!

Thanks for the tips. I have the larger Platinum and I just got the Glimmer last month. Love them both. wishing everyone a Safe and Happy Holiday Season.

Thank You for this video!! I have been using Spellbinders since I switched from that tiny Quickutz 2x2. I agree that my Platinum is The Best❤️❤️. I have recently got embossing folders that are very thick (Simon Says Stamp) & just ordered some Tim Holtz. I thought I would look for videos because the ones I watched (that was recommended) looked like it would break the folder, plate or machine. I used the tan mat like you showed and everything went well with great results. I am so glad I didn’t try to put it through after the first video I watched. Thank You again!!

Hello, just saw your video and wanted to help out those that have a Spellbinders 3D Embossing Folder(s). I purchased one not that long ago not realizing that there was a plate for it that they do not carry anymore until watching this video. I just did a test run and you don't need to buy anything extra for the 3D Embossing Folder. I have the Oval Accent and ran it through my Spellbinders Platinum without a problem. Just use your regular Platform, then put you 3D Embossing Folder with paper on top along with the Standard Cutting Plate. Run it through one time (forward only) and it should come out perfect. Good luck!

Excellent video thank you…you both were great! I recently purchased the Pine metal embossing plate but cant seem to figure out the sandwich. Thank you in advance! -christine

Thank you I just changed from Big shot and was having issue embossing

I have embossing folders by Darice and Cuttlebug also. The sandwich that works is: base = platform, then the embossing folder (with only one piece of cardstock), then the rubber mat; then the clear plate. This sandwich works without stressing the machine. When I tried to use the cardstock as a card (which would be two pieces of cardstock), it was too much pressure for the machine. ( I tried using the sandwich you proposed which used two cutting plates and it would not go through the machine.) I have the Spellbinders Platinum PL-001

Thanks for the video! I almost broke two machines yesterday because of the Sizzix embossing folders.

Thank you for making this series. I love your dies and embossing folders. I currently subscribe to the monthly kit. I absolutely love it! I own Big Kick/Sizzix machine and it is a nice machine. But I am looking for a Mini machine. Do you carry one? I would love to know more about if so. It would be perfect for the kit dies. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge. Now off to Crack into my Santa Lane kit! Have a great weekend!🙂

This was so helpful as I recently purchased a Platinum 6 and wasn't able to get the gray 3d embossing plate - I do have several of the old Spellbinders 3d embossing folders - You used the gray plate with that in the demo, but since I can't get that plate do you have a suggestion for a sandwich? Thanks

ROBIN & DENZEL, Where are YOU 2? I loved this video & you mentioned you were starting a new series. I assumed you meant together. But I searched for more video's with the two of you because you really were great together. Very helpful. (I have the Platinum 8.5 and went a bit wild in picking up dies and emboss materials and tools. Way before I even attempted to use. It all started with being frustrated when it came to punching out personalized alphabets names or mini phrases and with a punch you are pretty much stuck on an edge only not a lot of reach. Next thing I knew I've gone over board and OMGosh. HOW to manage and use all of these wonderful products when I am NOT a card maker. (I do make cards mind you but for the past 24 years it's full half page cards usually photos I take of wildlife, then personalize in big creative ways both inside or outside depending on the project at hand. I never got into the layering thing but family and friends. I cherish each and everyones special cards saving everyone. So here's the thing. I want to emboss and also use alphabets and small wee cut out dies as punches that leave the design HOLE so to speak. (Example: Judy's Purrfect Notes with a cat or two or three cut out around the same c mini note books cover. I want to be able to cut through strong cover stock, thick or thin vinyls and even chipboard at times across the board so to speak. To achieve what I'm going after. I also got caught up with the possiblities of glimmer foiling so now I'm expanding into adding not just the personal touch but pesonality quirks & whimsy via foiling such as the celestial line that Spellbinder has which allows me to carry into the inside cover page too.) Anyway botton line after watching this lovely and well done video I wanted MORE from the two of you. So charming so cute and so helpful. Here I was thinking I had to add far more pressure via shims to sandwich build up for some of the embossing plates such as Tim Holtz 3D's. I just bought several of his 3D impresslits that make cut out and super deep embossing that are like embossed cut out charms of smaller shapes. if you use the thicker materials like Sizzix Texture Roll metalics and Kraft-tex which can be very thick & stubborn to cut it's challenging. So the New impresslits These dies cut & emboss at the same time. I make specific subject books too and so looking for corner and 3D super deep embossed charms to attach to the corners of the covers. I love texture so velvets, flocked contact papers or actually non adhesive contact paper and vinyls as heavy as marine upholstery vinyls & of course all the rage the thinner faux leather and suede fabric/paper materials too. In other words I'm a little left field for what most of what I'm seeing here on KZread across all brands and I jumped into the deep end of the pool before I even mastered any of the basics. So here I am playing catch up & your video is just what I'm hungry for. I do know Covid could be messing with further posts but as soon as possible. I'm waiting on you as the come back kids. I can't be the ONLY one here wanting more from the twp of you!!! Please.. By far the best Spellbinder video to date. (I don't think I can stand yet another UNPACKING VIDEO. Really who came up with that routine where they show you little to nothing. And everyone is doing the same presentation over and over. BORING.) You to are not boring. You brought a lot to the table and all kidding aside I just want MORE. (OK you are adorable too and yes I'm probably old enough to be your MOM.)

Thanks! That's a helpful tutorial! I'm wondering if it can emboss thin metal sheets??

@robinbeam9046

When you say "thin" sheets, that can mean a lot of things to a lot of people :-); very thin aluminum type metal should not be a problem. It's hard to answer that without more information. Also note that it's hard for us to test every thing out there. Something that is really thin should work.

Good tutorial ! Someone 8 mos ago asked how to set up the Altenew 3d folders? I’d like to know the answer to that too!

That was helpful. Thank you! My question.... I have a couple of the old 3D Spellbinders folders, but I never bought the 3D plate. What other recommendation do you have for using those folders, since the plate is no longer available? I have a Platinum 6.

How do you use the old 3D embossing folder without the plate that has now been discontinued? How does the old embossing plate compare to the raspberry plate that was used with the grand caliber? I just purchased the Platinum 6 and would like to be able to use several old folders that I have. Thanks so much for your help.

Robin & Denze, Me again...the comeback kid so to speak. Anyway I'm attempting to 3D emboss with Tim Holtz cut and emboss shapes. He has leaves & scrolls and flowers and buttons etc. They cut out at the same time they emboss. I'm wanting to use them with my Platinum & with very thick material. I have the sizzix texture roll in metalics also in matte white and tan. And looking at the Kraft-Tech paper which is very similar and you can dye the Kraft-Tech. Anyway finding that I'm having trouble getting a good cut even when it embosses into the thicker materials nicely it does not always cut clean. Some of these dies are pretty simple cut wise but a few are more intricate with inner tiny cut outs and again sometimes it's cutting well other times not so much. Also I've been playing with the wet and no wet or spritzed with water materials to see if that makes a difference and so far not much change in outcome. I've tried various techniques as you've demonstrated here with rubber mat or not and it seems too thick for me to add the embossing harder mat to the sandwich. The Tim Holtz dies are very thick compared to others as you demonstrated here and maybe these that cut are even thicker. Maybe that's part the problem and contributing to outcome. I really want to use all these super 3D cut & emboss dies but also use the TEXTURED Paper product with a lot of thin dies. Again when it come to the thin dies I am not always getting a CLEAN cut through. Kind of like half sometimes even less than half. In otherwords some places cut through other spots have not cleanly cut through. I've tried wax paper and plastic papers saved from cereal inserts which I think works better than wax but worry that is just adding to the thickness. I also have been attempting to cut a variety of vinyls and faux leathers which are suppose to cut well with thin dies but still not always. Any suggestion or technical tips you can suggest would be helpful. I am really new at this. I made a note book to keep track & chart the different materials and outcomes and sandwich options used. I'm going to replay your video again because I recall one sandwich you sent the folders through without any cutting top. Of course for the 3D plates that actually CUT and emboss I probably do need to have a cutting mat facing the blade side. I really think the two of you together as techies would be very helpful to us still in the learning curve mode. Thank you both for the Videos.

How do I set up to use Altenew 3D Embossing Folders?

I’m fairly new to Papercrafting and card-making, so I’m still learning. I have the large Platinum FSJ machine, and I’d like to try some of the new Crafters Companion cut and emboss folders, which are a somewhat different style to the Spellbinders cut and emboss folders you showed in this video, so I’m not sure what ‘sandwich’ would be appropriate - I don’t have much experience to fall back on. Another thing that CC has produced recently is double sided dies, and I have no idea how to put these through my Spellbinders machine either. Also they have 3D embossing folders, and I’m not sure how these compare with the thicker Tim Holtz folders that you showed, as I don’t have any of the TH ones. Any suggestions you have would be helpful. Thank you for this video - I hope there’ll be more to come.

I have a Big Shot, I recently purchased a Spellbinders 3 D 5x7 embossing folder. Do I follow the sandwich for 3D embossing folders or do I have to do something else because of the size. I love my Big Shot, have used it for many years. If I were to purchase a new machine, it would be a larger Big Shot.

I was given as a gift a Darice sandwich - I had just gotten my Platinum 6. I caught on quickly that using the foam mat could be used and not the guide on the platform. Hence wanting to check out this video. I DO however have an issue.. When I was working with the embossing using a die cut. MY die cut kept moving (or perhaps the card stock was moving.. and my impressing went offside of the cardstock. DO I need a magnet plate? How do I prevent this? do I have to mask tape the card stock? the Die cut when I am embossing?? thanks in advance of your support.

I've heard several times that spaying the folder or the paper lightly helps to keep the paper from tearing. Is this true or not necessary? Thanks so much for this. I was breaking my arm trying to crank my Spellbinders Platinum 8

That silicone mat that I have for my big Spellbinders Platinum sucks right into the top rollers of my machine. It is a pain in the neck. Spellbinders needs to come up with a better way to cut the Tim Holtz impresslits. I have almost not been able to get my mat out of the machine. It is very frustrating and it didn't even cut the impresslits all the way through.

The difficulty is with the exact same sandwich I used using the same die. One cut is easy....the next one is difficult. Maybe just time to switch the plates?

Hey Maureen, I did finally receive the ABS sheet that I ordered and tested. When I ordered they only had the 200mm x 200mm available which is to big for the P6 without being cut. It does work on the Platinum with lots of space leftover. I now see they are back in stock of the 150mm x 200mm which in theory should work just fine also. I did have to add 1 sheet of card stock to act as a shim and get the best results. So my sandwich was baseplate, 1 sheet of 80lb yardstick, embossing folder with 80lb card stock and the plastic sheet below on top. I over shimmed to see what would happen ( I was an only child and never broke my toys, so this was hard lol) and it did bend the plastic but when I flipped over and ran through again, it straightened out. - just my little tip Here is the link: www.amazon.com/JKGHK-Moldable-Suitable-Architectural-Accessories/dp/B08XWHFHX1/ref=sr_1_4?dchild=1&keywords=abs+plastic+sheet+2.5mm&qid=1615843523&sr=8-4 It took about 4 weeks to get it but I think shipments are getting better now so be patient and happy crafting.

The height of the gap is the same, the width is different (obviously). The Platinum does have a little less "flexing" than the P6. Therefore on those super, super detailed dies you will probably only need 1 pass on the Platinum vs 2 on the P6. Other than that they are the same sandwiches for dies and embossing. Thank you.

I started making cards 3 years ago and finally got my first die cutting machine a month ago. I chose the Platinum 6 and it has worked flawlessly, I've been using it daily and it has definitely enhanced my card making. Edit: I posted my question before the video finished, sorry. I've seen several videos of card makers building their sandwich as follows: platform, plate, die, paper, plate. The cutting edge of the die faces up, the explanation being that you'll get a better cut if the rollers "hit" the cutting edge of the die. Is it advisable to use dies upside down as I've seen in videos? Thank you in advance for any advice you can offer.

@denzilquick2399

3 жыл бұрын

Great Question, thank you for asking. That is a true statement. However, you will most likely only notice a difference on very detailed dies. It's logical that the more design, the more "pressure" that is required. Lots of companies are making stamps and dies that cut out the stamp design. The only real way to do that is by placing the blade face down so people get used to cutting with the blade face down. But you are 100% correct if you have a detailed die, flip with the blade face up and paper on top. That is true with all die cutting machines.

I firstly make a die cut template (just a tiny square cut out with the die cut image in the middle) then take the die cut and the die cut template to my Misti. I then use a scrap bit of paper to stamp the image and line up my die cut template over the stamped image. Once I am happy with the outline all around I pop my die cut into the template hole as it fits perfect, then I stamp on the die cut. It means I can do loads of stamped die cuts at the same time ;) hope that makes sense!!

Perhaps easier than testing each and every product, would be a simple max thickness of rigid layers that the machine is capable of safely handling.

Have you tried the plastic sheets from Amazon for 3d embossing yet?

Which plastic sheets are you referencing?

What keeps the rubber mat from being cut when you die emboss?

The lack of pressure. Like a sponge, it absorbs the pressure and prevents cutting.

And as I'm watching this two years later... Spellbinders has 3D embossing folders... lol

You didn't address Stampinup 3D. I just bought several and ordered the platinum 6 yesterday. Will I be able to use my 3D Stampinup folders?

I have a Spellbinders Platinum machine. Using the Platform, purple Embossing plate that came with the machine it will NOT let me use a Spellbinder SES-030 folder with a simple piece of card stock. It gets stuck after a few cranks and won’t go through. It appears to be too thick of a folder. I do not understand since I am using all Spellbinder materials. I watched your video and determined that the SES-030 Spellbinder folder was too thick even with no paper in it What do you recommend I do when purchasing a folder? I feel like I’ve wasted my money on a folder I should be able to use, but can’t. It makes me leery of making future purchases Thank you in advance for your help and ideas. Also, thanks for the videos and this site to ask questions Sincerely, CS

You need to use a cutting plate instead of the purple embossing plate (platform + folder with paper inside + clear cutting plate). The embossing plate is only for embossing with dies, not for embossing with various folders.

Question: what sandwich do I use for my old-style spellbinder folders when I don't have the grey embossing plate? Will the mat be enough?

Barbara, can you please be more specific regarding “old style”? Just regular, non-3D SB embossing folders: Platform/folder with paper/cutting plate.

Standard Size. Have a great Day!

Great idea to make videos like this! I embossed with my then brand new Platinum 6 exactly according to the instructions - unfortunately... The machine still works, but the side parts no longer close properly. How can that be? I couldn't know how strong the pressure should be and the folder could be cranked through - it was difficult, but it worked. However, the folder with the entire record shot out of the machine on the other side so violently that we now have a small hole in the parquet and I am sad that the great machine no longer closes properly. Now I have a question for you :-): How does a metal adapter plate work with the platinum 6? There are some very detailed dies that the machine doesn't cut properly and a plate like this is supposed to help!?

I just purchased the Platinum from Hobby Lobby and it is so hard to get anything to go through it. I really have to struggle to turn the handle to cut any type of die. Any idea on what the problem could be?

I had that problem with mine when die cutting. I purchased a cutting mat to replace my bottom plate and it works so much better now. No warped plates and easier to turn the handle. I purchased it off of Amazon and it fits the full sized Platinum almost perfectly. Here is the link: www.amazon.com/dp/B00DH8GCIQ?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

The 3D plate is discontinued but we have ordered a few plastic sheets off of Amazon to test and see if they work. Once we receive and test, we will do an update for you guys. They are supposed to arrive in Early December so give us a few weeks.

I’m new. What is a 3D folder and a regular folder

I am brand new to the Spellbinder and this was extremely helpful. I purchased an alphabet die and they come all attached. I wanted to ask what is probably a silly question, but due to my lack of use... I don't want to ruin it out of the box. Can I separate the letters and only cut the individual ones that spell out my word or do I need to cut the entire alphabet each time?

Yes! You should be able to cut these apart using wire cutters. You can also simply cut your paper smaller (to the size of individual letter), cover just the letters you need to cut with cardstock and die-cut this way. I have this set and that's how I usually cut it. I hope this helps! -Yana

I just found your video today (YEAH) and hope that you might be able to help me with the embossing issues that I have been having. I have 3 embossing machines and have been having major issues with them embossing. I have your Spellbinder Platinium 6 and the larger Spellbinder (which I just received) as well as Anna Griffin's Empress machine. I haven't been able to use any of my 3D Altenew embossing folders with any of my machines. The folders are about 1/4 thick and refuse to go through my Spellbinders. What sandwich would you suggest that I use to get the folders to work? I have the platform, blue embossing plate, tan rubber mat and the two clear cutting plates for both of my Spellbinder machines. I have spent a great deal on machines and 3D folders and would really like to be able to use them. If you or any of the people that have also come across this issue would give me your input, I really would appreciate it. Thanks, in advance, for any assistance.

I have found that the cuttlebug A platform is a tad thinner than the SB platform and works better with the 3d thick folders. so, try A platform, embossing folder, cutting plate, foam mat. It fits in the SB 6 machine.
