I just ordered the Sizzix Big Shot. Can I use embossing folders in it that are not Sizzix brand? ie The Paper Studio? Thanks

Faith- I use my other embossing folders in the Sizzix Big Shot all the time. You can also use other cutting dies. Sandra

The embosser would be fine for stationary or envelopes; I'm not sure about napkins-it would depend on the quality of the paper. It is possible to change out the stamp, but it only goes in one way (you cannot change the orientation, at least not on mine). So, you could order a second stamp (without replacing the entire embosser) that was "upside-down," and thus use it on the bottom rather than the top of a page.

you order the embosser, then a rep contacts you via email for your information. it was not entirely clear which style you were choosing, so you should be very explicit. i had an issue with my fonts not being quite straight/linear, and the company replaced my embosser plate quite promptly.

Yes, you can use different die designs. I have three die which one is for my library, one for my desk, and one which is generic in nature. They all work quite well. Though, as the instructions indicate, it does take just a little practice to get the designs to emboss just the way you wish. Enjoy.

If it's in your computer you can print whatever you need to on it. I been doing greeting cards for the family on them for years and mine are always looked forward too because there not store bought. A lot of add on material is can be found under google images to enhance projects.

I am not sure what sizzix texture boutique is, but I use these same pads in various sizes with all my sizzix stuff as well as Accucut. Before you buy, just make sure they are the size that will fit in our machine, and I have been taken a few times with pads that are much to small.

I use my Sizzix Big shot. but I believe it is compatible with other systems. You would need some sort of die cut machine.

Yes the machine does emboss with the embossing tool. It can emboss on paper or foils and is ideal for making fold lines in cardstock.

Impression embossing here means the paper or material you are using will have the imprint (impression) of the design from the folder being used. In this pack there are four smaller folders and one of bigger. Hope that helps?

Yes, if you look at my review I list all of the embossing folder brands that I've successfully used with it and how many shims that you need to accommodate those brands.

Yes it does. It has an embossing tool that can be purchased that has two different size embossing points. The zing is great in that you do not have to use their holders/blades/etc but I've had good luck. Look for videos on youtube, I have seen a couple embossing videos there, although I do not use my machine for embossing. It's a great machine! I use mine every single day and seem to find new uses daily!

I don't know how you would get your PDF design to the card without the software. You can create a custom card within the software, but the software came with the printer so I don't know why you wouldn't want to use it. I think it would make the process easier.

I have used several brands of embossing folders in the Boutique and not had any problems. Follow the instructions for inserting the folder into the Boutique. You will be happy with the convenience of having the Boutique as well as a Big Short or similar device.

Yes it will come with the machine plus the plates to run die cuts and embossing folders thru. It will not come with the the embossing folders nor dies you must get those seperate.

I would purchase one with a metal plate. It seems to have problems embossing paper card stock.
