The Spellbinders Plaid Company Embossing Folder (SES-018) is a background essential for any cardmaker’s library. Part of the Pattern Play series, this folder features a classic, crisp plaid design that is exceptionally versatile. It provides a timeless texture that works for cards, holiday themes, or cozy, rustic aesthetics. Key Features: Timeless Plaid Design: The pattern creates a wonderful, criss-cross plaid texture. It is smart because it serves as a neutral yet interesting backdrop that doesn't compete with your focal die-cuts or sentiments. Letterpress Capability: This folder is designed for more than just dry embossing. Pro Tip: Apply ink directly to one side of the folder before running it through your machine to create a stunning letterpress or inked-plaid effect. Standard Single-Sided Depth: As a standard (non-3D) folder, it produces a uniform impression across the paper. It is perfect for sanding or ink-dragging techniques to highlight the raised linear patterns. Platinum Machine Sandwich: To get the best result in a Spellbinders Platinum or Platinum 6 machine, use this specific sandwich: Platform Embossing Folder (with cardstock inside) One Cutting Plate (or the medium Embossing Plate) High Versatility: Frequently cited by crafters as a "most-used" folder because it transitions perfectly between seasons - use it with reds/greens for Christmas or soft pastels for spring.
