I would like to know the technique for using an EF on a card, and then having a cut and embossed edge with Spellbinders, such as the card shown in the GLENDA BROOKS gallery FOR June 1, 2013. The Spellbinder edges are nice and crisp, showing none of the dotted pattern. Would be great to have a tutorial on it!
I have tried this technique in my bigshot, but I found the sandwich with no tabs was a bit too thick and I've actually squished the adhesive from between the platform and the vinyl layer over it. I think it would work better with a mask/stencil than the folders in the bs.

This technique sounds great, but I have a bigshot, too. Has anyone done this successfully with a bigshot? What was your sandwich?

I just tried this with my Big Kick - the Big Shot should work the same:
Multi Purpose platform; no tabs
Clear cutting plate
Embossing folder, opened
Die cut inside of die; cutting side up
Spellbinders Tan embossing mat
Clear Cutting Plate
When I rolled it thru, it almost felt like there wouldn't be enough pressure to emboss, but it turned out great.

Thanks so much! I've printed out the sandwich you listed above (no way will I manage to just remember all that ;) ). I am new to the Big Shot and had no idea how to convert the other sandwiches to work for me. I appreciate the help.

No problem! Remember, though - the pressure on the machines can vary, and I've noticed that the thickness of the embossing folders can vary as well, so you might need to add a shim here or there, and if you start cranking things thru and it feels too tight, don't force it!
Ohh, I can't WAIT to try this. I thought it would be super-complicated and I am so happy that it isn't as I struggle with new techniques. What a clever person to think up this idea! Thanks for the sandwiches for the BS and the CB
SCS MEMBERS ARE THE VERY BEST no argument! Thank you all for your generous responses to this query - I just have to have a go at this (new to me) cool technique. So excited!!.
Can someone post a card showing this idea. I checked the gallery for Glenda Brooks and the only card I find for June 1 is a floral tag. It has a beautiful edge on it but no embossing. I am curious to see what this looks like.
If you look at the bottom of the page where you saw the tag for Glenda Brooks...there is another card showing the edge WITH the dotted swiss embossing also on the card. hope this helps or I could email you a link to the page?
my email is [email protected].... write if you want the link
