Partial Embossing with Cuttlebug folder
Here are step by step instructions for visual learner. Click on the images for a close up look.
Step 1:
Open your Cuttlebug, place first your A Plate, then a B plate down. Place your cardstock piece (here 4″ square of Whisper White) partially in your cuttlebug folder and place it on top of your plates.
Step 2:
Place another B plate on top of your embossing folder. Run your sandwich through your Cuttlebug.
Step three:
Your cardstock will look like this.
Step four:
If wanted, repeat the first two steps on the opposite side.
Step five:
I added scored lines with my Scor-Pal. Make sure you have the side with the indented embossed image facing up (wrong side up). If I want to add two lines 1/4″ apart, I line the first line up with my 4″ mark, then I can use the 4 1/4″ mark for the next line.
Step six:
Your finished cardstock will look like this. Stamp, and adhere to your card. You can also stamp first, then emboss.
Additional info:
The cuttlebug folder used is called Swiss Dots. It’s sold out in most places right now. I lucked out when I got mine at Eclectic Paperie.
You can use other scoring tools to make your horizontal lines. I didn’t think I needed my Scor-Pal until I got it. I LOVE it and use it all the time. No more ripping the paper if you push down to hard (with my Fiskars cutter/scoring tool). No more moving the paper when making several scores. It makes scoring so easy, a caveman can do it (sorry….I watch too much TV).
I hope this helps anyone that couldn’t wrap their mind around this before. Hugs and smiles
