What’s a Hybrid embossing folder you might ask! I totally missed it in the new Annual Catalogue on page 116. I only discovered it when our CEO highlighted it in one of her live chats and I was totally converted! It’s called “Bloom Hybrid Embossing Folder” which includes both dies and an embossing folder.
