Here is the link to the Cuttlebug Sandwich Layers techniques in the downloads forum. A really kind thoughtful person assembled this for us all:

You have it all. I just purchased (today and yesterday) Cuttlebug dies and folders to use in my old red Sizzix machine. You need the adapter for both. And you layer cutting board,paper then die for the dies. And when you do the folders.... I use a small piece of tape in the folder at the top to keep my paper from moving although it probably isn't needed. If you use tape be carefull where you place it cuz it will make a raised spot where you have it if it is in an embossed area.You open the folder and put your paper inside then slide it into the sizzix between the adapter and cutting board. If you are doing and entire card at one time just put one side of the card inside the embossing folder and wrap the other side to the outside of the folder. You will have to press, move, press, and a couple of time to cover the entire area. Hope this helps. Mine are just flawless with the sizzix! I love it!

Die cuts will always be cut side down on the white cutting board with the paper between the white board and the die

I've been trying the folders out today and you don't really have to use tape if you don't wiggle it too much. It works great the only one I've been having problems with is the swirls and I wonder if it's my folder.
