Pete always inspires me with his tips and techniques. He demonstrates such lovely work and offers great encouragement every time. 💕Thanks for these wonderful tutorials!
This is the first time that I have seen Pete ! Not only lots of information, tips and tricks but your presentation is quite frankly the best that I have seen out of many others ! Really enjoyed your very relaxing delivery, thank you !
Wow super video, always enjoy watching you create! Excellent demos, tips and technics! Of course the folders and all the other goodies are marvelous. Look forward to part II.
Brilliant thank you. I buy all sorts of bits of card making pieces and I don’t always know what to do with them but this helps so much as to what to do with embossing folders. I’ll experiment a lot more now
So much creativity with embossing folders. Thank you for your excellent tutorial. I hope you feel better soon, it sounds as though you are battling a cold.
Thank you,Pete! That was so much fun, I haven’t seen any of these techniques before! It’s so much better to see these, live, with all your instructions! I’ve never been brave enough to use the flakes, thank you in particular for that demo! I own the brayers but there again, haven’t played with them much! Were you using the foldaway because it has the most pressure of all the Sizzix machines? I heard Tim say that recently, had never heard that before, either. I was also interested to learn about the differences between distress inks & oxide inks on the folders, as well as the differences between cream acrylics & the more liquid ones. As you can see, practically eveything you discussed was new to me!! That makes this a very informative video!! Thanks so much! Have a wonderful blessed Christmas with your family! I have subscribed, so that I won’t miss any more of these wonderful videos! Erica❤
Thank you so much Pete, I really really enjoyed watching you create those different types of techniques but, I really really love ❤️ the hot glue piece. Amazing. Please stay safe and well too xxx Mags
Fun ideas! I think that’s actually copper, gold, and silver foils, as I have those too. Rose gold is where they’ve mixed gold and copper and end up with a rosy gold colour, hence the name “rose gold”. I know this because I’m a metal-smith. :-)
Wow!! I've recently purchased a Big Shot, as I have just returned to cardmaking after a 'break' of almost 25 years (unintentional, but unfortunately medically necessary) , and I've discovered that the whole world of cardmaking and scrapbooking has changed 100% I was unable to afford an electronic version of a die cutter, unfortunately, so I purchased this one on recommendation from a friend. Although I'll only be able to do one pass at a time, it has been working perfectly so far and I'm looking forward to learning all of the tips and tricks that you have here. Thanks for an excellent video ! I'm hoping that I'll be able to find the basic "sandwiches" to use here somewhere - the explanations that come with the machine are hopeless 😔
It's so nice to hear you're back into crafting again Cathi. So glad you enjoyed this video 😊 Our TH-cam will be your tips and tricks bible, where you'll find all the help and inspiration! - Steph, Sizzix
Love these techniques and the design style. It's great seeing these fabulous cards made with them. I'd like to see a follow-up on the hot glue technique - that could be it's own video. I've never heard of that before.
Please use the overhead camera once you're done embossing so we can see the embossing detail on the cardstock. I was disappointed that I couldn't see the detail on all the cards because of the glare and distance.
For some reason I thought it came with the rubber or silicone type embossing mat that I think some people use to emboss with stencils. I was disappointed when for the money I paid it wasn't in there. So I thought well, perhaps you don;t use it. So can someone tell me how to emboss with stencils in this beautiful machine please? I just unboxed mine and haven't removed all the protective vinyl yet in case there is some reason I have to return it. I want to use it a few times first if it's possible with that still in place.
Hi Denise, to emboss with stencils you'll need the Sizzix Silicone Rubber Mat as you mentioned which is available on our website. With the Impressions Pad and Silicone Rubber you can then emboss with any metal stencil including Thinlits Dies. Hope this helps! 🙂 - Steph, Sizzix
@@sizzix any metal stencil? You mean like cover plate dies? I’ve seen embossing done with Mylar stencils on a manual machine. I didn’t know you could use dies? Could you clarify please? Thank you. Also I’ve used the machine now and love it! It was very well done. And even if Tim Holtz doesn’t care for the little tray, I love it for my pick and tape!
I guess it just occurred to me that you are the "Pete X" on some of sizzix designs, is that right?? If so, I was just using your 'iron butterfly' die last night. 😂 I don't know what it's called, but that's what I call it-fab. :D Thanks for all of the great tips, I'm looking forward to trying some of these with my embossing folders!

Just gorgeous! And inspirational!
I love this! I have about 40 embossing folders and really needed more techniques!! Thank you!❤️
This design is so great Pete !!
Great video! Hot glue?!? That's awesome! Thank you :)
Wow ! Love your demo Pete!

Great techniques and cards Pete, thanks!
Great ideas Pete, loved them all . Will definitely try them all especially the one with the hot glue at the end tfs

Loev love love this video, a masterclass of techniques. Thank U so much
Great video. As for storing metallic flakes
I prefer a box because plastic creates more static

Great ideas, thanks for sharing! Had not thought of cutting up an embossed image.
Novel ideas not seen in other videos! Many thanks for the demo and useful commentary.
This started playing when I wasn't looking, and thought, since when did Greg Ellis start crafting ? Very similar voices. 👌😊
Wonderful video, Thanks for all the great ideas. Love it!
someone give pete a tissue!
i enjoyed the tips and tricks. very interesting ways to use the EF.
thank you!
Great information Pete, I wish the camera had stayed front. When it viewed from the side the details were lost.
Thank you for this feedback Connie! We will take into consideration for next time 😊 - Steph, Sizzix
These are cool, thank you!
Great tutorial!
Thank you Susan! So glad you enjoyed this 😊 - Steph, Sizzix

I wonder... the hot glue does not melt the structure of the folder? :o
What is a multi level embossing folder please? I've only heard of normal and 3D folders. t
Thanks for the helpful video.
Multi-Level Textured Impressions Embossing Folders offer different levels of embossing based on their design 😊 - Steph, Sizzix

Thank you for this feedback, we appreciate it! 😊- Steph, Sizzix
When spraying card is it a special type of Card or just normal? New to card making 🤔
Any type of cardstock yes! It helps to loosen the fibres for a deeper emboss! 😍 - Abbie, Sizzix

What do when u have thin folder that won’t in imprint I have cutter like this
Hello, which brands embossing folder and machine are you using?
I guess it just occurred to me that you are the "Pete X" on some of sizzix designs, is that right?? If so, I was just using your 'iron butterfly' die last night. 😂 I don't know what it's called, but that's what I call it-fab. :D Thanks for all of the great tips, I'm looking forward to trying some of these with my embossing folders!
Hi Mary, Yes that is Pete Hughes!! We are so glad you have enjoyed the video 😍 - Abbie, Sizzix
@@sizzix 👍
Won't the hot glue melt the embossing folder?
Hi Jackie, if you're going to use this technique we would advise to use it with caution and not long periods of time 😊 - Steph, Sizzix
When I dry emboss I typically spray my cardstock with a solution of Photo-Flow and water. I get a deep crisp impression.
Yes this is a fantastic technique! 👏 - Steph, Sizzix
What is Photo-Flow?
@@sizzix what is Photo-Flow?
@@Rockymtnbloom Photo-Flo minimises water marks, drying streaks and promotes drying - Steph, Sizzix
@@Rockymtnbloom it is a liquid used in developing photos. You might find it online. I get a beautiful crisp, deep impression when I use it.
🧡
Interesting effects. But do people even send cards these days? I can’t see any other uses for an embossing machine..
Your techniques sound super great but the camera seems to be too far away and we can’t appreciate your end result 🙄
Hi Diana, thank you for this feedback - noted!! 🙂- Steph, Sizzix
Is there a way we could do these embossing without using the die cut machine? I don’t have one due to budget 🥲😭
Hi Ziryn, our embossing folders are designed and manufactured to be used with a die cutting machine sorry!
