Spellbinders Bee-Cause 3D Embossing Folder

The Spellbinders Bee-Cause 3D Embossing Folder (E3D-078) is a charming botanical tool from the Through the Arbor Garden Collection by designer Susan Tierney-Cockburn. This folder features a delicate, non-uniform pattern of randomly placed honeycombs with busy honeybees flitting around the motifs. Because it is a 3D folder, it uses variable-depth technology to "sculpt" the paper, making the bees and hive cells appear multi-dimensional rather than just flat outlines.

Key Features:
High-Definition Garden Texture: This design is smart for garden lovers, offering an organic, airy background that isn't too busy. For a professional, deep-relief look, it is a pro tip to lightly mist your cardstock with water before running it through your machine to prevent the paper fibres from cracking.

Large Slimline Format: Measuring 5.50" x 8.50", this folder provides maximum flexibility. It easily covers a standard card front, but is also long enough for Slimline (3.5" x 8.5") or 5" x 7" projects without unsightly seams.

Artistic Versatility: The open spaces between the honeycomb clusters allow you to place focal dies or sentiments without the background overwhelming the design. It’s perfect for "thinking of you," spring, or nature-themed cards.

Mixed Media Options: The raised bees and honeycombs are ideal for:

Selective Colouring: Use a small sponge dauber to add yellow and black to the bees or a golden glow to the honeycombs.

Gilding Waxes: Apply a touch of gold or bronze wax to the raised honeycomb edges for a "honey-dipped" metallic effect.

Universal Machine Compatibility: Works with most manual die-cutting machines.

Spellbinders Platinum Tip: Use the Universal Plate System (PL-127) for the best sandwich: Platform Base (A) + Cardstock inside Folder + Adapter Plate (D).
