"Look, Ma - No Lines!" ... or ... a Tutorial on No-Lines Embossing

 

I've been asked by several people how I use my small Cuttlebug folders without having lines from the edges of the folders or without "smushing" the embossing next to it.  This is how I do it.

I took a giant-size cereal box (from Costco) so it's nice and sturdy and thick cardboard.  I cut four pieces just smaller than the sizes of my folders.  I glued them together.  The picture on the left shows the pieces before they were glued together.  The one on the right is what I used for this card.  I have done a tutorial and uploaded it to YouTube.  You can find it here.  (You really can't see the embossing in the video, but you can see the procedure!)  The "recipe" for using my BIGkick is to use Tab 1 and one clear plate.  You'd have to experiment with your embossing machine to determine what plates you need to use.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and I hope you'll come back and visit again soon!
