One of the easiest ways to add texture and dimension to your project is by "dry embossing" with an embossing folder. These work in the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine and come in two sizes -- including smaller ones to fit in the Mini Machine. Shop All Embossing Folders
Embossing in the theme of this month's Great, Big Card Swap! You can use Embossing Folders, Heat Embossing Paste Embossing, or Faux Embossing -- any technique that creates a raised image. Here's a card that I created with the Sprigs & Twigs Embossing Folder on Gold Foil cardstock. I also used heat embossing to create the gold hexagon frame around the sentiment!
Watch the October 2022 showcase videos to be inspired by 100+ cards that feature embossing techniques! I hope you will consider participating and send in a card for the next video!
Ready to jump in and participate in the next Great, Big Card Swap?
How does it work? "Send a card! See them all! Get one back!"
I will showcase all of the cards in a video so you can see what everyone else created and then I'll send them back! Everyone who sends a card will get one back!

Frequently Asked Questions:
- Who can participate in this swap? EVERYONE! This swap is open to all stampers, including Stampin' Up! demonstrators.
- Can I use retired or non-Stampin' Up! products? Yes! I want EVERYONE to participate regardless of their paper-crafting collection! I will sort cards before swapping so that stampers who do use current Stampin' Up! product will get cards with current Stampin' Up! product in return.
- Can I send more than one card? Please limit to one swap card per person per month.
- Can I sign the back of my card? Yes! Please leave the inside blank so the person who receives your card can send it on and bless someone else. But feel free to include your usual maker marking on the back.
- What happens if my card doesn't arrive in time? Postal transit times are unpredictable. If your card arrives late, don't worry! I will showcase it in the next showcase video and make sure that you get a return swap!
I would love for you to include a note inside the card -- a little about yourself or just a happy greeting to the person who gets your card. Please note, I will remove any solicitations (business cards, business links, etc.)
Attention International Stampers! I would love for you to participate in this swap! Use this Paypal link to pay $5 USD for 3 return postage stamps. (I'll hold them with your name on them to use for future swaps.) I'm worried about transit times, so be sure to mail early or work ahead one month! Mark your envelope with the month/theme you intend to submit the swap.
Privacy Statement: During the showcase video (posted on YouTube and Facebook), I will provide the first and last name of the card maker. If you prefer to be anonymous or only mentioned by first name, please let me know in a written note inside your card. Although I am entering mailing addresses in a spreadsheet, it is for the sole purpose of generating return address labels. Your information will not be shared or sold to a third party, including another swapper. I will never personally use your information for any other reason besides sending return cards for The Great, Big Card Swap.
The Great, Big Card Swap is organized by Julie Davison, Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator since 2002.
