Spellbinders Scallops Embossing Folder

The Spellbinders Scallops Embossing Folder (SES-020) is a background staple that adds a playful, rhythmic texture to your paper crafts. Featuring a repeating pattern of classic curved scallops, this folder is exceptionally versatile. It's a go-to choice for creating mermaid scenes, rooftop textures for little houses, or a soft, feminine backdrop for floral designs.

Key Features:
Repeating Scallop Pattern: The layout features rows of overlapping semi-circles. This design is multi-directional; use it vertically for a "shingle" or "scale" effect, or horizontally for a wavy, oceanic feel.

Inking & Letterpress Potential: This folder is great for technique-heavy crafters.

Pro Tip: Apply a light blue ink to the debossed side of the folder before running it through your machine to create a stunning "inked wave" background for nautical cards.

Standard Single-Sided Depth: As a standard (non-3D) folder, it provides a consistent, crisp impression without the need for specialized 3D platform sandwiches. It is smart for ink-dragging across the raised ridges to highlight the scallop edges.

Platinum Machine Sandwich: For the best results in a Spellbinders Platinum or Platinum 6 machine, use this sandwich:
