It’s the time of year to ramp up the Holiday card making and today I have a video for an easy embossing folder Christmas card just perfect for the job in hand. As part of their new Holly Jolly release, Simon Says Stamp has bought out a range of 3D embossing folders. Embossing folders have been around for a while, but the fresh designs of these 3D folders bring them new life. I’ve linked all supplies with compensated affiliate links used where possible at no cost to you.
