Spellbinders M-Bossabilities - Venetian

Absolutely love this embossing folder. I've experimented with different effects and shown two of them here. After reading comments, I was a bit worried about the paper tearing, but only one paper tore - that was a 140 lb watercolour paper and I think if I had put a slightly larger piece in the embossing folder it would not have torn - it was only one edge and quite trimmable. I also tried out Papermania solid cardstock with good results, but the best results were with Core-dinations cardstock which has a linen effect that enhance the colour processes. One card was done with gold pen and inks to look metallic. One card was done with pastel pencils and then ink pads to highlight the embossing.

I ordered these by mistake ,I have no clue how they would be used ,I thought I was purchasing 2 black binders with the musical notes on, as it was a gift for a friend who teaches music, but never the less they came on time anyway. I will pass them on and I'm sure she will let me know what they are.

The folder is nice and the designs very good. Unfortunately it's a little thick for the Sizzix Big Shot machine. I am going to have to figure out how to run it through using something thinner than the normal plates. Even with no tabs on the platform the two cutting plates and the folder will not fit.

Very pretty design that lends itself to a variety of ways to enhance. Whether used with white or shiny card, lightly sand or pick aspects of the design to colour or cut out - it can be done. Very versatile design and worthy of a place in any crafter's stash.

Produces a nice detailed image. I have a Big Shot Pro and needed to experiment with plates before I found the right combination for it go through.

This folder is clunky and awkward to use. It was difficult to get it to emboss in a grand callibur machine even with the adapter plate. The finish isn't nice either, variance between depth of emboss at top and bottom of the folder.

I absolutely love this! It was slightly too big for my sizzix boutique , but I knew that before I ordered. All it needed was a tiny trim around the edges and now works perfectly in the boutique. 2 folders in one bargain.

Love this music embossed. Great for so many different projects.Very good quality and easy to work with.
