Emboss your Card and Make it Stand Apart!


Embossed cards can really take your craft project from one level to another. If you have a die-cutting/ embossing machine then you will probably want to stock your craft corner with loads of dies and embossing folders. You will soon find out (or probably already know) that these can really burn a hole in your pocket. Which is why ItsyBitsy started making their own Embossing Folders. At just Rs. 199 a piece, they are affordable and offer an excellent finish to your cards, scrapbooks, boxes and mini albums. 

To give you an idea of how to make these work, we put together a couple of cards using ItsyBitsy's very own Embossing Folders. If you look closely you can see the beautiful flower detail embossed on to the cards. The feel of the card also improves exponentially when its embossed. Combine it with some beautiful pattern paper, craft flowers and sentiment cards all available at the ItsyBitsy store, and in a flash you have a one of a kind creation that would rival most craft projects.


I recently bought a couple of the ItsyBitsy embossing folders and can personally attest to their quality. To give you an idea of how they work, I put together this little video.




So crafters, if you have an embossing machine, you know where to get quality embossing folders without having to encash your retirement savings. And if you don’t have an embossing machine, then it’s worth going for one considering ItsyBitsy offers economical embossing folders. You can choose from either Cuttle Bug or Big Shot if you want both die cutting & embossing. If you just want to emboss, go for Texture Boutique, it's cheaper and works really well. Happy Crafting Peeps!
