Can the small folders be used on standard A4 card or do you have to use them on smaller pieces of cardstock and then layer them? I've heard the edges of small embossing folders can leave marks on cardstock that is bigger than the exact size of the...

The smaller folders need to be use on smaller pieces of card stock. I cut squares the size of the smaller folders, emboss them and then layer them with foam dots to pop them up and give dimension to the card.

Easily. They are smaller than normal sleeves. They are meant to be placed on the card and in normal sleeves.

I haven't experienced any smearing on regular paper or matte card stock. They don't bleed, but you can see it through the other side of thin paper.

Hello fellow crafter,You need to have embossing folders, plates (A,B and B).If you are die cutting you will need plate C. And paper. Simply place the paper inside of your chosen folder,. You will use plates B and B with A through the machine and turn until the folder reaches the other side, If you die cut you will need a template along with the plates and an additional cloth to protect the plates. There a demo available on YouTube if you needhelp. You can get additional materials from amazon.com Hope the this was helpful. Have fun!!!

We aren't using them on laminated paper; we use it on special card stock that's slightly glossy and have no problems. I use it on al types of calendars and have no problems

We only use the folder for standard paper, but it doesn't always grab regular paper correctly. I can imagine that glossy paper wouldn't fold very well. You probably need a higher grade folder that specifically says it folds higher weight/finish paper.

yes. Depends on die size and shape. You have two sides the size of the folder to put them on, so twice the size of the folder space.

Depends on the paper you are using. Standard copy paper? Yes. Cardstock, no. I was using 40lb gloss paper and it did not bleed through.

Hi Jonathan. When you come to the end of the paper and you are left with 1/2 and arch, turn the new edge around to face you and punch between the full arch and 1/2 arch of the first edge. This means that you will lose the 1/2 arch of the first edge and your paper size or card will be a wee bit smaller than when you started. Hope this helps :) Rosi

You will get a very classic embossed look on white paper. Thick cardstock is a littler harder. You will have to press very tightly - I had to have a strong male do it for me. I also used one for metallic seals - and got a great print - but also hard to press. Works best on a regular 20# paper. Love the embossing - and have bought several.

A standard A2 card size is 4.25 x 5.5", which is half of a regular 8.5 x 11" sheet of paper. Cut the sheet of cardstock in half, either vertically or horizontally, then fold that piece in half. This gives you your card base (front and back). From there you can embellish the card front with die cuts or whatever design element you choose. Before adding your embellishments, you could cut a cardstock rectangle slightly smaller than the card front, in a complimentary color, to adhere to the card front to add color and make a base for your other embellishments. This is called matting.

No, it's for US letter size (unless you use it to punch the short end which will give you a landscape format book). For A4 paper you need GBC ClickMan Binder available on Amazon.co.uk http://www.amazon.co.uk/GBC-ClickMan-Personal-Portable-Capacity/dp/B001TPU2OO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1406642064&sr=8-1&keywords=click+bind+binder

The only thing I use the Avery Half-fold cards for is to make greeting cards for birthdays, holidays, etc. I do have to change my printed setting as the paper is a little thicker than regular paper. Hope this helps in some way.

Yes, but I wouldn't use layers of it. One layer works fine. I generally use specialty papers that are heavier than printer paper but lighter than card stock. The laminating pouch makes it feel like card stock

Faith- I use my other embossing folders in the Sizzix Big Shot all the time. You can also use other cutting dies. Sandra

I don't own embossing folders yet, but a scrapping friend does, and it works great!! She has one for dies, one for embossing folders.

I actually use three blades. My deep cut is for fabric cutting so I don't use it for paper. You probably could but I would not go any deeper than 1 for regular cardstock.
