We LOVE Embossing as it helps you to create gorgeously textured and detailed parts to your crafting projects. Did you know that you cannot emboss using an electronically programmed machine? Well here at Sizzix you can Emboss with ALL of our Die Cutting Machines, so whether you have the Sizzix® Big Shot® Machine or the Sizzix® Big Shot Switch Plus Machine & Starter Kit, get to know Embossing now!

For best results when using Embossing Folders, spray fine water mist onto both sides of material before use and pass the folder through your machine three times. Please note that cardstock must be dry before embellishing with ink. For best results, use Sizzix Cardstock, available in our Craft Essentials range!
