Cut and emboss folder. This cut‑and‑emboss folder creates the exact decorative motif shown in the design by cutting the outline and embossing the details in a single pass through the Big Shot or another compatible die‑cutting machine. The raised areas add depth and texture, while the integrated cutting edges produce a clean, precise shape. For best results, use paper with a grammage of 200 g/m² or higher, or specialty materials such as metallic foil. Thin papers may tear due to the depth of the embossing. You can enhance the finished design by applying ink with a foam pad. The folder can also be used to add texture to polymer clay — lightly moisten the surface of the folder before pressing it into the clay to prevent sticking.
