I squealed with joy when I saw that someone in Canada could be eligible for your blog candy! Right now my favourite embossing folder is the large polka dots folder. It works with a lot of themes. I love that I can add a little sponging to add a bit more texture.

As usual choosing just one of any product is difficult, however, I think the Lovely Lace embossing folder is sooo beautiful with many possibilities as it works with many themes, love it!

I love the Woodgrain embossing folder. I know it isn't the newest but it is so versatile!
Posted by: Jennifer S. | August 14, 2014 at 07:30 AM
I'm enjoying the Stylish Stripes at this time but also like using decorative dots. Everyone is raving about Large Polka Dot so may have to place an order. Thanks for offering blog candy!
Posted by: Faye J | August 14, 2014 at 07:36 AM
Well, I just hate to be like everybody else, but I have to be honest when I say the Large Polka Dots Folder, because I have been making baby shower invites for two of my granddaughters and they both love this folder. My "personal" favorite is the "Decorative Dots" because they are so "imperfect" -- something I strive to be every day -- LOL.
Posted by: Sandi Dailey | August 14, 2014 at 07:41 AM
One of my favorite embossing folders has to be the woodgrain pattern. It seems that I can use it for so many different occasions. It is so easy to dress it up or down depending on the nature of your card.
Posted by: Patsy | August 14, 2014 at 07:41 AM
Thanks for the great giveaway. I'm going with decorative dots as my fav.
Posted by: sndy1 | August 14, 2014 at 07:45 AM
I am a polka dot girl at heart, so I tend to use the Large Polka Dots the most of all my embossing folders. Thanks for the chance to win! :)
Posted by: Vicki Wizniuk | August 14, 2014 at 07:51 AM
What a fabulous bundle of holiday goodies! My favorite embossing folder is probably the modern mosaic - I am always drawn to anything that looks like "quatrefoil" and that's the closest one we have right now. Thanks for the chance to win!
Posted by: Deepa M. | August 14, 2014 at 07:53 AM

Hi Patty thanks for the chance to win blog candy--it sounds like large Polka Dot is a favorite--but my vote goes for the wood grain and the Wildflower Meadow. The wood grain is so pretty especially after you apply color--almost looks real. Thanks Patty. Raquel

Posted by: Cyndi Ferenz | August 14, 2014 at 03:47 PM
I don't have the large polka dot ef yet, but I can see I need to get it...very popular! I would say I have used the fancy fan and wood grain the most but I can't say which is my favorite.

Large polka dot is my fav! Any embossing folder gives a plain piece of paper just the right amount of dimension. I almost hate to make a card without them any more.

I am a polka dot gal too and love all three of the folders

Thanks for the chance to win blog candy. That is so nice.
Posted by: S. Carter | August 14, 2014 at 08:27 PM

Nothing wrong with Christmas in August at all. Love all things Christmas anytime. Oh Patty this is a hard one, to choose just one. Love embossing folders, there just so versatile. But staying to what you’ve asked I would say the Zig Zag. This is more geometric than my go-to ones but it’s good for me to stretch a little. Thank you, you lovely, generous lady for giving us the chance for some candy. No not the edible kind but still yum yum. Thanks too for so much inspiration. Much appreciated. Take care.
Posted by: Linken | August 15, 2014 at 04:03 AM
My favourite has to be Stylish Stripes. I was so pleased to see that one reappear. Blog Candy for Canada is a great bonus too!
Posted by: Tracy Elsom | August 15, 2014 at 04:45 AM
Arrow embossing folder is my latest favorite. I enjoy your website daily. Have a great day, and thanks for the chance to win some really neat blog candy!
Posted by: Diane Elrich | August 15, 2014 at 04:47 AM
I am going to go against the flow and say Modern Mosaic. That pattern is so "in". My nephew and his wife are having a baby and using this pattern in their nursery. I made their baby shower card using Modern Mosaic and they LOVED it. She said they were going to frame it and use it as art in their baby's nursery :-) Thanks for the chance to win this fabulous candy!!!
Posted by: Janet Swofford | August 15, 2014 at 04:51 AM
The woodgrain folder is my favorite.
Posted by: Sandra Shelton | August 15, 2014 at 04:57 AM
