I was just wondering if embossing folders worked without a machine and found your video. Thanks so much!! Because I don’t have a machine, and like to save money. This is great 🥳 I have one of those marble or granite rolling pins (thrift store purchase) that I think I could use too.
Wow, thank you so much! I actually like that you can control the embossing better without the machine for varying effects as you demonstrated around the 3:30 mark. I'm thinking a rubber hammer might work well 😆
I use a big pill bottle (with a flat lid) with a piece of fleece/felt rubber banded on, spritz my paper, stick in folder & rub, can get several done while watching tv..
I would usually buy from crafters who are selling a ton of items in bulk or boxes of items at garage sales or thrift shops and the folders would be included in my buys... or I've also had friends give me some of their stuff. I just held on to them thinking I'd get a machine one day...and I did.

Great video, I really cant afford a machine at this point so this technique should work until I feel like buying one❤❤❤
So good to know! Thanks!

OHHH! Another good idea! Thx!
Thank you very much
Definitely what I needed!! Like you, have folders and plates...no machine. Now feel confident that don't need a machine!!
Yea!! Let me know how it goes for you!!
@@renee_lovelylavenderwishes Well, definitely need a sturdy rolling pin and table... Trial and error, of course.
Nice to know we have other options. Thanks, Renee! 😊
I have folders but no machine and can't afford one but these ideas do work. I tried a few.
Yay! So glad they worked for you!!
Clever and resourceful!
Thanks!
With the plate that you used if you put your card on top of it then a piece of craft foam on top and then roller over it should emboss it nicely
Great! Thanks for the idea!!
Great idea for embossing without buying a machine. Also, using painter’s tape to hold paper and stencil steady can be helpful. 😊
Thank you!! Love that idea!
Now I have some use for the rolling pin that doesn't make cookies or pies. 😂😂
😂
Try putting a thin piece of foam rubber on top of paper then rolling pressure. I think it will push the paper into the low spots.
Awesome idea! Thanks!!!
Thanks for the help I couldn't by a machine
Did you hear the one about a woman who used her car to run over an embossing folder? 😂 I'm going to try using a rock for cutting a die.
Lol! No I did not!! But I guess if it works…😂😂

Temu has a small hand press
Do you need to put the folder on a softer surface
You can try to see if that works better- not sure if I've tried that or not...
A rock? Lol
Sure- whatever works! Lol

No disrespect but………..who buys folders without a machine to use them in?…….asking for a friend
I would usually buy from crafters who are selling a ton of items in bulk or boxes of items at garage sales or thrift shops and the folders would be included in my buys... or I've also had friends give me some of their stuff. I just held on to them thinking I'd get a machine one day...and I did.
