Hi there! I'd like to share with you one of my favorite ways of playing with Sizzix Embossing Folders: making customized patterned paper for our creations: layouts, cards, tags...simply everything! Sometimes you've got a perfect sheet of plain paper - and you'd like to have a matching paper too... this is how I do it for myself using folders - the effects are not only patterned, but also amazingly textural... what can be better than that?
I've started with 2 embossing folders taken from 2 great sets: Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders 2PK - Vintage Buttons Set (657672): and Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders 2PK - Sewing & Measuring Tape Set (657671), I prepared some ink and a roller too.
There are 2 ways of adding ink on the folder:
And here are 2 different effect you get thanks to that! (of course with letters and numbers one of the embossed papers will have "mirror" problem ;) - but it doesn't matter with any other patterns. For my creation - it really doesn't matter:))
I do really love this dimensional look!
If we have our folder already dirty in ink - we can use it for stamping the background too!
Roller (and adding a piece of foam under the paper) will be helpful - make sure you press the folder hard enough to transfer the pattern!

Now you can use your newly made papers to build your composition:
And here is the final result - layout made on the customized background with customized patterned, embossed paper:
I wish you all happy creating and great fun with your dies and folders - see you soon!
