The NEW 3D Embossing Folder Plate is coming soon, they will be released in Early June 2019. As you know Stampin’ Up! has decided to go a different direction with Embossing Folders and Thinlit type die cuts so read on to see how to use the new 3D Embossing Folder Plate and see how it will help enhance your crafting experience.
How to Use the New Plate
The new plate makes up the difference in measurement between our old-style Dynamic Folders and our new-style 3D Folders in 21 mm gap machines (similar to the machine we used to offer). The 3D Embossing Folder Plate replaces the Standard Cutting Pads in your 3D embossing folder sandwich for continued high-quality emboss results.
To create your emboss sandwich:
- Use a die-cutting & embossing machine platform as a base; no matter which machine you’re using, use the standard platform which comes with your machine.
- Use the 3D Embossing Folder with your paper in the middle.
- Then use the 3D Embossing Folder Plate on top.
Given the differences in machines and platforms, you may still have to add a shim to get your desired embossing results. (You can also spritz your paper before embossing to maximize your embossed impressions.)
Without the new 3D Embossing Folder Plate, you will need to use several shims with the Standard Cutting Pad in your 3D embossing folder sandwich, depending on the die-cutting & embossing machine you use. Most machines will need between three to five sheets of cardstock to shim. Please be careful in how you shim; start out with fewer sheets first, then add sheets to get your desired results. Stampin’ Up! will not be responsible to replace products broken due to using a sandwich which is too thick for a machine.

When is it available? Early June 2019, note that limited amounts will be manufactured in the beginning so we don’t have a lot on back order. We expect to receive staggered plate shipments in June and July as we build inventory. After the plate launches in June, you may experience periods of time when it is not orderable if inventory is depleted; it will become available to order again when inventory is replenished. You will receive a pop-up notification asking if you like to receive an email when it is again available for purchase. So be sure to order early once I announce this item is available for purchase! 3D Embossing Folder – CLICK HERE TO VIEW PDF
