The Spellbinders Beautiful Butterflies 3D Embossing Folder (E3D-055) is a standout piece from the Stylish Ovals Collection. This folder creates a whimsical, high-relief background filled with fluttering butterflies and delicate botanical accents. Because it is a 3D folder, it utilises variable-depth technology to literally "sculpt" the paper, giving the butterflies a realistic, lifelike appearance that appears to leap off the page.
Key Features:
High-Definition Detail: The design captures the intricate patterns of butterfly wings and tiny floral sprigs. For the most dramatic and detailed results, it is a pro tip to lightly mist your cardstock with water on both sides before embossing. This helps the paper fibres stretch into the deep crevices of the folder without cracking.
Large Slimline Format: Measuring 5.50" x 8.50", this is a highly versatile tool. It is large enough to cover Slimline cards (3.5" x 8.5"), but is equally effective for perfectly centering designs on standard or 5" x 7" card fronts.
Artistic Flexibility: This folder can transform plain cardstock, vellum, or even metallic foils into textured works of art. The raised surfaces are ideal for:
Ink Blending: Use a sponge dauber to add vibrant colours to the butterfly wings.
Gilding Waxes: Apply a metallic finish to the raised botanical details for an elegant, antique look.
Universal Machine Compatibility: Works with most manual die-cutting machines.
Spellbinders Platinum Sandwich: Use the Universal Plate System (PL-127) for the best results: Platform Base (A) + Cardstock inside Folder + Adapter Plate (D).
