I am LOVING the look I can get with these embossing folders accented with the metallic gilding polish! I can't wait to play with these some more. It's hard to resist collecting all the colors out there. Will you give this a try?

@@lindastenberg8570 that's a very good question. I find that I like bigger sentiment dies because I work with so many stencils I feel like they can create a good sentiment focal point to go along with stencils. Hero Arts has some nice chunky ones. Simon says stamp has quite a few. I especially like the graphic look of the Cathy Zielski line called cz designs at Simon Says Stamp. And I use pinkfresh Studio ones quite a bit. I really like their essentials collection as it has shadow layers too. Oh and their phrase builder ones are a nice size too. I personally love the ones that don't have separate tiddles for the "I".

May I make a suggestion. First use stencil wth the gilding polish and when it dries use the embossing folder.

This video is going to get me into trouble! I had a few Cosmic Shimmer Metallic and Opal polishes, but hadn’t tried them until this video. I loved your video and liked the polishes I had, but if one or two are good, why not buy more? 🤣 I now have 21 of them and love all of them except one opal which is too light to see on white paper and doesn’t really wow me on black paper. I haven’t made a complete card yet, but I have a few backgrounds and sentiments ready to go. I’m a batch card maker like you, and it takes awhile for me to settle on a few layouts I like, but once I do, I get busy making components. My favorite opals are Golden Flamingo (pink/peach), Blue Parakeet (blue/lime green), Blue Lavendar and Blue Wisteria. I love all of the metallics I have. The glitter kiss polishes are also beautiful, but you really need to layer those to get full coverage.

How would it go if you stenciled with the paste first & then embossed. I know it would look as good, but just an idea to try maybe? Does the paste dry soft or crispy? Great cards for guys ❤️🇦🇺

Hi I just recently got a 2nd hand cuttlebug machine (mini) and was wondering about the cardstock going with the embossing folder ... does the cardstock can only be used if the thickness of the paper isn't thick. For some reason it wouldn't go through and it felt like the handle was going to snapped right off.

@amyswares

Жыл бұрын

No, you can use thick cardstock. Maybe try turning the embossing folder at a slight angle. Sometimes it feels tough like you have to force it through.

@amyswares

Жыл бұрын

Just check the instructions for your specific embossing machine and see what your sandwich is supposed to be. 3D embossing folders tend to be thicker than regular ones so factor that in.

I didn't have any results in my search, so I decided, as the polishes are water-based, no wax, to drip some water into the jar, not a lot, maybe a dessert spoonful, lid screwed back on, given a good shake and left overnight. Looking at it today, the polish is definitely softer, although not liquid, and I will try it later on a test piece. I went with the thought that if it didn't work, I'd lose nothing by trying. 😃🤞
