EMBOSSED, DEBOSSED,

and just plain old "the boss"!

Or so I've been saying this morning! Answering questions about all of the NEW QK Embossing Folders!

I received a big ol' box from QuicKutz yesterday - with a few backordered dies, and a few NEW dies in it. I decided to start playing with the backordered dies first. That's only fair, don'tcha think? {LOL}

Anyway - since most of the questions recently have been about QK Embossing Folders, I thought I'd start there. The easiest way to explain things this early in the morning, {with only one cup of coffee in me} is to go straight to video...

Don't hit the large arrow in the center of the screen, it's not loading properly. Instead hit the little "pause/play" button along the bottom edge of the status bar. And remember, "X" out the ads the pop up, and eventually they will stop.

In the video I used the 12" Alphabet Embossing Folder and the A2 Flower Card Embossing Folder. I also used the cute NEW font, Miss Muffet.

What do I LOVE most about these new folders? THE PRICE!

Holy scrap - the 12" folders are only $3.74 right now at Scrapy Land! The A2 folders are the EXACT SAME PRICE...$3.74. And wow-eee - hold the phone, the 4-pack of 2x2 folders are guess how much? THREE SEVENTY FOUR! That Dani - he is awesome at securing deals for you!

So stinkin' much you can do with these QK Embossing Folders. Straight up on cards, added to scrapbook pages, texturing up die-cut letters for some POWIE on a page, circle punch out the embossed flowers to use like textured brads...SHAZAM! {can you tell I was watching cartoons this morning?}.

I'll do my best to throw some fun ideas your way in the next couple of weeks - but let me tell you - these are going to add SO MUCH to your holiday crafting. Expect to see me using them a lot!!

Here is the final card I showed you on the video...

I used up some old patterned paper, but used a brand new piece of "blingy" cardstock. Love it embossed! The 12" Circles Embossing Folder looks exactly like bubbles to me. In fact, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that QK misnamed this folder! BUBBLES it will always be in my book! {HAH! Think I should let them know?!}

Hey - did you notice that lime green donut sitting on my Epic? It's my new tape dispenser from the school supply aisle. I popped out the regular Scotch Tape and replaced it with my Removable Matte Finish Scotch Tape...LOVE IT! Now my roll of "special tape" won't mysteriously disappear when some child of mine is looking to tape something together. The lime green donut is MINE! {And they are on sale at Target this week for just over a buck!}

If you have any other questions about using the QK Embossing Folders - leave me a comment or send me an email! Then - head over the the Scrapy Land site to do some Wednesday morning screen shopping! If you decide to place an order today for some NEW Embossing Folders, put in the comment section of your order "because Susan said so" because I'm going to do a give-away!! I've got a couple extra Embossing Folders here that need a new home, so leave a comment here if you do place your order and I'll give away some goodies Friday morning!

Until then - I've got my work laid out for me. Look what else came with my backorders yesterday!

It's going to be pan-die-monium around here today!

I'm here for your habit...

What a cute card!!!
I finally am back online and blogging. Missed it immensely.
I just ordered the 2 x 2 halloween dies, so I can't wait to get them!!! How exciting!!!

LOVE the card - I think you should call QK and have them rename it! LOL.

Have to run over to ScrapyLand and order my folders.

Thanks for being here for my habit!

:)

Thanks for the video. Love those embossing folders. Just might have to pick up a couple more :)

You just crack me up-my family is looking at me like I'm the one who's crazy. Going to have to go see what folders I need (don't have) have to agree with you on the prices-no one can beat those prices-they pay for themselves and they do so much!

[Sue]

Susan, you are feeding my addiction. After seeing your Epic demo last week using the Cuttlebug embossing dies and now today's card using QuicKutz, you know I had to go and place an order for some embossing dies with Dani. Can't wait for them to come in the mail so I can play!

[gemscraps]

Oops, I forgot to post again after I placed my order for some folders yesterday. Ordered yesterday and I already got a message that they've shipped. Gotta love that fast service. :)

I ordered the "bubbles" embossing folder BECAUSE SUSAN SAID SO! I really didn't like it in pink, but looking at it blue sold me - thanks!

Dani is going out of the country and I didn't get my shipping notice - bummer, guess i'll have to sit and wait :( its okay - I have a ton of stuff to organize.

Susan,

Thanks for doing this. I swear I was messing with this the other day and couldn't figure out a formula to remember which way everything had to go in order to emboss. I wasted more paper. My mind just doesn't work right sometimes.

thank you sue for getting back to me, I was really surprised and I did what you said and I did get on it now, it must have been something with my server before. I was wondering, can you use Quickkutz with a cuddlebug machine, I do like their embossing folders so much but I have a cuddlebug. I love my cuddle bug though too, I just like the Quickkutz and there seems to be so many more options in that line. Thanks again my dear and I will get the hang of all of this soon. I had to down load something today so I can view your videos and will need to find out how to use that now. Jackie

Wow this is unusual. I just wrote an incredibly long comment, but after I click submit, my comments did not appear. Grrrr ... well, I do not write all over again. No matter what, just want to say great blog!
