Embossing folders

There are so many new tools and design plates available now that enhase making of design cards. The embossing folders by varioius companies help make a card look elegant and more professional. Many companies are now coming out with these folders. Cherry Lynn, Mariann, Cuttlebug, Sizzex all have wonderful folders available. Spellbinders has die cuts that make cutting circles, ovals, and many other shapes so easy and look so elegant. I recently purchased the Tim Holtz Vagabond electric embossing machine and its just wonderful. While the crank machines get the job done, for me, they are difficult to work and many times I would get my knuckles slapped by a handle whiplashing back or the boards shooting out so fast they hit me and sting. With the electric machine, its just a press of a finger and the dies go thru the machine and are done. I have uploaded several of the more recent cards I have done. August is a very busy month with alot of birthdays and anniversaries.
