Embossing

I love the look of embossed stationary. Embossing folders create textured impressions on your stationary or envelopes for that extra wow factor. Sizzix or cuttlebug makes some folders for their machine, but you can easily use without, instead using a rolling pin. You can find Embossing Folders here. The ones I saw reminded me of the Lotus, the Chinese flower. I found them at amazon for very cheap here. I also made some other impressions using Sizzix texture boutique that I purchased for under twenty dollars with coupon.
