I have covered this before, but even I can't find it! It must have been pushed to the back of the Cupboard shelves, or my labelling system has gone wrong! So I'll begin again.....
Both Jo and I have experienced the same problem of Sizzix folders creasing and breaking the fiibres when embossing. Whilst the embossing is lovely, it is a very heavy pattern, and this is the problem! I have tried with various weights of cardstock, never completely satisfied with the results, until I tried the same trick of adding a piece (or 2) of copy paper over the top of the card. This lessens the depth of the embossing on the actual card and eliminates the problem. Jo, give it a try and see if it works for you.
There is a 'search button' on my sidebar and you may find it useful if you have a query on anything to do with embossing or die cutting. If you have no luck, please let me know by leaving a comment. If you have found the answer to a problem......again, please let me know.....sharing my own and your experiences is what the Cupboard is all about, and with your help I will be able to keep it going to become a treasure trove of ideas, inspiration, tips and ANSWERS!
Have a great day whatever you are doing, but I hope it's crafting!

Great tip, and yes, it works! x
I haven't had this problem on card just really thin paper but sometimes thats what I want it to do and I even damp the paper so it breaks a little, only with card though.
Thanks it's a good tip - I once had a huge problem with vellum and this technique might have helped.

Great tip - I've had this problem too so I'll follow your advice. Thanks. Jaqui x
Thank you Ikki for posting an answer to my question/problem. In the past, I have tried different weight cardstock (and different brands) but to no avail, so I will try your solution and see what happens.
Thanks again sweetie!! :-)
