Cuttlebug A2 Embossing Folder, Heart Blocks Review

Cuttlebug A2 Embossing Folder, Heart Blocks

The only limitation to the Cuttlebug embossing folders is their size: this hearts folder will emboss a 4.5"x5.5" piece of cardstock. But embossed paper is usually used for layering, so the size limitation might not be as important as it seems. I can also emboss with my Xyron Creatopia Machine, and since its embossing system consists of a set of two rollers (as opposed to the Cuttlebug's folder), I can emboss paper of any length.
However, Xyron's machine has very few embossing patterns, whereas Cuttlebug has something for almost every type of card (except maybe sympathy--I use a tree embossing pattern for my sympathy cards). The hearts folder can be used for wedding, anniversary, friendship, 'missing you,' and even new baby cards. It has both intaglio and relief embossing, and is lots of fun to color (especially with chalk). I like to use a printed transparency film over the pattern to carry my message.
The Cuttlebug is basically a set of two rollers that press the folder pattern (back and front) into a piece of paper as the paper and folder are fed through the rollers. It's a simple concept, and the Cuttlebug performs it really well.

Transform plain surfaces into beautifully textured works of art with this innovative crafting companion. For use with the Cuttlebug machine, the embossing folder presses a dimensioned pattern into sheets of paper, parchment, cardstock, or pre-cut greeting-card templates. Its professional-quality edging offers crisp, clean ornamentation, resulting in sheet after sheet of home-embossed paper that looks and feels store-bought. Use the folder to create a three-dimensional consistency for scrapbook backdrops, invitations, place cards, gift tags, and more. Available in a variety of shapes and styles, the Heart Blocks folder features continual rows of shadowed and outlined hearts that come alive when pressed into solid or patterned paper. The embossing folder measures 4-1/2 by 5-1/2 inches.

I bought this package last week. I like the embossing folders very much. The Swiss Dots one is perhaps the most versatile. It works well for embossing small flowers and other die cuts or punched shapes as well as larger surfaces. The flower folder is nice also. I made Easter cards with these folders and they are quite attractive

Sizzix Textured Impressions Embossing Folders, 2-Pack, Spring Flowers and Paisley Review

I was happy to see Sizzix start producing embossing folders like these. ProvoCraft seemed to have the market cornered for quite a while. What I like about the plastic folders is that they produce a crisp embossed design because they press the cardstock or paper between a positive and a negative face of the design, making the resulting embossing very detailed. These should not be confused with the Sizzix Texturz, by the way--these aren't texture plates, they're folders which actually emboss images, not just add subtle texture.
One of the drawbacks and criticisms of the ProvoCraft folders was that the design wouldn't cover the entire front of an A2 size card. These Sizzix folders do! At first glance they seem pricier than the ProvoCraft, but Sizzix has bundled these into groups of coordinating designs of various sizes so that you're often getting an A2 size embossing folder as well as some smaller ones; or as in the case of this particular set, two A2 size folders, so they're priced competitively. I have a number of these sets now and I like the designs. They work great, too, with the Big Shot or the Cuttlebug, and they add a nice finishing touch to cards or layouts. I'd recommend them highly.
