Get your Sizzix Big Shot out and learn how to use Framelits Die and Embossing in this video segment with Candie Cooper and Tory Vezina!
Today’s blog post will feature Sizzix Framelits and Embossing Folders. Use Framelits to cut fun shapes to display your earrings or even use it for your scrapbooking needs. And use Embossing Folders to add a 3D texture to paper, fabric or even thin copper/metal pieces.
Embossing Folders
The first important rule when using Embossing Folders with the Sizzix Big Shot is the Extended Platform (SZ00053).
You will need the Extended Platform, which is included with Sizzix Big Shot Machine; to place your Embossing folder on to run it through the Sizzix Big Shot, instead of using the Movers and Shaper platform you would usually use to place your Dies on. There will be a visual on the Platform on how to use it with your Big Shot.
The Process to running the Embossing Folder through your Big Shot is to place the Extended Platform down, put your paper or thin piece of metal inside your Embossing Folder, put the Embossing folder on the Extended Platform and place the Cutting Pad on top. Run the whole thing through the machine and you will get a textured piece of paper or thin metal!
Make sure to check out these fun Embossing Folders to creating your own designs:
Framelits are dies with intricate and detailed designs best used with paper, fabric or thin pieces of metal or copper. Do not use Framelits with thick pieces of leather.
The process in running the Framelit Dies through the Big Shot is to place the Extended Platform down, then place the Extended Thin Die Adapter on top, followed by a Cutting Pad, Framelit with the form side facing up, your piece of paper and another Cutting Pad. Run all parts through the Big Shot for an intricate cut out piece of paper!
