Impressed with Embossing and the Cuttlebug (with giveaway)!

Provo Craft originally introduced the Cuttlebug as a die-cut machine for the home crafter. It's compact, does not require electricity, and folds up for easy storage, which has made it popular with scrapbookers that don't want the bulk or expense of large digital machines. It's also very easy to use. Here's a couple samples of what Melinda created with the Happy Birthday Cuttlebug Embossing folder (shown below) and the B-Day Bash Collection.

Cuttlebug embossing folders are used to press a three dimensional image into cardstock, craft foam, mesh, chipboard, and other scrapbook media. Six inches in the maximum width of the paper that can be accommodated, but there is no limit to the length.

The folders come in several different styles. The basic folders are 5-inch by 7-inch, and have an overall pattern. These folders are perfect for embossing photos mats and cards.

For those of you that don't own a Cuttlebug machine, you can still use the embossing folders. According to Love to Know: Scrapbooking they claim you just need a spray bottle and rolling pin. I haven't tried this myself, but here's how they did it:

The only equipment needed is a spray bottle, some tape, and a rolling pin. It is not possible to get as much pressure with a rolling pin as the Cuttlebug can apply. With light weight paper, this will not be an issue, but for cardstock or other heavy weight materials, embossing will be easier if the paper is sprayed lightly with water. Dampening the paper will make it more pliable and easier to emboss. Place the paper in the embossing folder, and tape the folder closed. Lay the embossing folder on a firm surface like a table or counter, and roll over it with the rolling pin, as though you were rolling out a pie crust. You will need to experiment to learn how much pressure to apply to get the desired result.

Wanna WIN a CUTTLEBUG MACHINE and some EMBOSSING FOLDERS?? We would love to see what you've embossed? Simple leave a comment with a link back to a sample you've created using an embossing folder. But, if you don't have anything because you don't own any embossing folders, simply give us a link to a project you found online using this embossing method. We'll select a winner by Thursday morning!!

yougotmel said...

so can I just link right back to you?? I love love love this layout...

http://www.imaginisceblog.com/2010/08/sewing-sketches-and-scooters-vacation.html

all the texture on the background has me really really considering buying a cuttlebug or at least putting it on my Christmas list since my budget won't allow me to buy anything (darn back to school expenses). I have done some manual embossing in the past but I love the look of the solid textured background but don't have the patience to do it by hand!!

Jamie said...

I've never embossed anything :( But now it's my mission! These cards are darling!! Good luck to those that qualify =)

Julia Sáddi said...

Yes! Besides all the great imaginisce tools, I would love to win a cuttlebug, 'cause I still don't have one for my own. Thanks for the chance to win one!

I would have NEVER thought about using a rolling pin with the folders...But you can also use an embossed rolling pin(the kind that already has the design on it!) with a rubber pad and a mister bottle! :) But here is what I found by searching....

I am addicted to my the CB..and embossing...and have introduced so many card making and scrapping friends to adding texture to their cards and pages..

the opportunity to wind a CB and folders thrills me!

I find myself ALWAYS no longer wanting to create..without including embossing of some sort...and i LOVE LOVE LOVE mixing different embossing patterns on one card for extra interest and texture

Ive got oodles and oodles of cards and projects i've created with the CB and asst folders.. but these are a few of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!

Skip me if I'm chosen because I have one already...just wanted to post how much I love mine. I love that you featured it today, as it's so often overlooked, and that is a real shame.In fact, for tag and card-making, it's one of the best tools you can have. Whoever wins this is going to love it!

Jodi Releford said...

This is a technique that I haven't tried yet. I loved all of the examples I found online. I will definitely have to try this even if I have to use a rolling pin to do it! ;) This thank you card was my favorite because they managed to use two different folders on the same paper. Not sure how that works but I would love to try.

I only have a couple of embossing folders...not sure why I haven't bought more, because I think they're wonderful! They add so much dimension and texture, and people are really impressed when they see an embossed card. Here's one thing I embossed with some Cuttlebug folders:

Lisa Rhodes Lamer said...

shhhh... don't say it too loud that you can emboss with a rolling pin! I'll never get my Cuttlebug if my boyfriend finds that out!

I don't have a project done but I thought it would be neat if you sprayed a piece of white paper down with colored water and then embossed with a rolling pin! Maybe a couple different colors!

A Cuttlebug is at the top of my "NEED" list!

Cindy deRosier said...

I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to win! Thanks for the tip about the rolling pin. I don't have any embossing folders since I thought you needed the machine with them, but now that I know...

I do not have a cuttlebug or folders yet. I went on internet searching for cuttlebug embossing and I found on their site some beautiful birthday cards embossed with candle folder.

I so hope to win. I am raising 3 grandchildren and it makes for no money for crafts, lol I craft with my 3 but we sometimes have to revert back to the basic way of just sissors,etc...

Thank you so much for this awesome chance. I follow your site and facebook,etc..

I haven't used any embossing folders to create, but I have been very envious of my friends who own Cuttlebugs. I would love to own one too!
Here is a lovely creation by a forum friend of mine that I would like to share:
