What are Embossing Folders?

Embossing folders are simple yet powerful crafting tools that work with your die-cutting machine. Made from durable plastic, each folder features a raised design on one side and a corresponding recessed design on the other. When you place paper or cardstock inside and run it through your machine, the pressure creates a beautiful, raised pattern - a technique known as "dry embossing." This process instantly transforms flat paper into a professional-looking, textured masterpiece.
