I treated myself to some embossing folders, and I've just opened them - they are amazing!
Stampin' Up! embossing folders are made for us by Sizzix, and these ones are the new Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folders - meaning that they are deeply textured, even the Subtle folder (used on the Grapefruit Grove card) is beautifully detailed, although it may be hard to see that from this photo!
They embossing folders are extra thick, and you don't need the top acrylic plate when you run it through the Big Shot.
Remember to run the embossing folder through spine-first, and it will last pretty much forever!
Here are the 3 embossing folders that I used today:
Subtle 143706 $17.00
Tufted 146335 $16.00
Basket Weave 146841 $16.00
These are the cards I made using the embossing folders above, all three are very simple, just a butterfly cut from the Botanical Butterfly Sale-a-bration dsp, a strip of coordinating card stock and the embossed card front. I used the Clear Wink Of Stella glitter brush on the butterflies for a bit of sparkle, but it also looks cute without it. I popped the butterflies up on mini dimensionals for a bit of lift.
I used the stamp set that comes with the Soft Sayings Card Kit (145466) on page 8 of the annual catalogue, but you could use any sentiment that you have in your stash :)

Until next time,
