New 3D Embossing Folders - what you need to know!

This year (2019) Stampin Up ended their partnership with Sizzix - this means that Sizzix no longer manufactures our dies and embossing folders.

How does this affect you?  Well, our new 3D embossing folders are slightly thinner than our previous ones made by Sizzix.  This means that if you own a Sizzix Big Shot machine (like we used to sell) these new thinner folders don't "fit" the same way.  You either need to add some extra sheets of card stock as a 'shim" to make it thick enough, OR, purchase our new 3D Embossing folder plate. You use it in place of your normal cutting plate. It is a bit thicker than a normal plate - therefore just right for using with our new folders.  Its even been made blue in colour so you can tell it apart from your normal clear cutting plates.

How will you know if you need to use this special plate for not?  If the 3D embossing folder you have purchased from me (Stampin' Up!) does not say Sizzix on it, then it is likely our new style folder and will need this new plate.  If you purchased your embossing folders some time ago and they say sizzix on them, just use the normal clear plate with it.

I'm thinking I might start marking my new style folder with a blue sticker or blue pen marking so that I remember to use the special blue plate with them.

The new blue plate is $17.50. Let me know if you'd like me to order one for you or click the images/links below to shop online.
