Video: How to use the Hybrid Embossing Folders

Hello stampin’ friends!

The MOST requested video is how to use the Hybrid Embossing Folders!
On page 18 of the Stampin’ Up mini catalog, there are two new bundles.
One has sentiments and one has hearts:

#162927 Thoughtful Moments Hybrid Embossing Folder  $38

#162569 Adoring Hearts Hybrid Embossing Folder  $39

How to use them? Do you need a brayer?
What is the layering sandwich for the machine?

For 2 days I inked, I rolled, I cut, I embossed MANY times until I got the best results using these.
Watch my video below for how to get a clean stamped & embossed image, what layering sandwich for the machine and a few more tips….

Happy New Year, my stampy friends! 

The new SU mini catalogs will be online and ready to order from on January 4th!
Some of you have already emailed me your orders, thank you! I’ll be staying up til 2 am thatt day to get all the orders in early.  I’ll be posting the new catalogs and the Sale a Bration freebies (gift with purchase)
on the 4th, also!

One of the first stamp sets I wanted was this retro phone, called Let’s Chat.  
As you know, I’m a little retro anyway so this is such a great set!    There are no dies yet but easy to fussy cut.


Let’s Chat photopolymer stamp set  $19  #162899

Here is another retro idea using the new Sweet Thoughts Memories & More cards.  Doesn’t it remind you of that 70’s wallpaper?   The phone is stamped in Pecan Pie but if you had soft suede, that would look good too.  Or brighten it up with a fresh turquoise like Tahitian Tide.

The Sweet Thoughts Memories & More will be available Jan 4th also! 

 

There are still spots available in my Shares!   Be sure to sign up by January 3rd!  
If you need details, go to my last blog post here 
It’s a great way to get a sample of all the papers, ribbons and accessories! 

 

And just for fun if you have 4 minutes…
watch these teenagers challenged with how to use a rotary phone. Too funny!

Happy New Year and onward to 2024!

Something a little different this week!

I have a big box of holiday card samples I’ve saved over the years and I thought you might enjoy looking at them with me! Most of the stamps and papers are retired BUT there are so many great layouts and creativity to learn from. Maybe you have some of them in your crafty space and can revisit to create something new!


Be looking for the 2 new catalogs in your mailbox soon!
January 3rd begins our new mini catalog and Sale a Bration (freebie with every $50) begins January 3rd also!

If you have ordered from me in the last year, I had the new catalogs sent to you automatically.  If you are new here and in the US, I can send to you in  the first week of January.   Just email me Linda@stampingschool.com and request one!
