My favorite tool in my stamping room that I have two of is my Cuttlebug. One has pretty much had it, but still works, so I use it for my diecutting. The newer one I use only for embossing. So for this card I have used both of them, which I do on any normal stamping day for me. I also made use of my favorite technique to do with my embossing folders and that is to ink the inside on one side, put paper in between the folder and run it through the cuttlebug. I guess this has an official name, I am just not sure what it is. The challenge for the Crazy 4 Challenges was to use green like May's birth stone. Any shade of green will do.

Your background is so beautiful, Liz. I laughed when I read your write-up!! My Wizard kept breaking, and after they replaced the part twice, the third time I just didn't bother. It works perfectly in one direction only - so I keep it for embossing, and then I don't have to worry too much about switching sandwiches round in the Big Shot. Glad I'm not the only one.

What a pretty card. I like the inking of the ef too.
I have two cuttlebugs too!! I never thought of using the older one for the die cutting, but that certainly sounds like an option I'll use!

Liz, this embossing folder with this technique reminds me of the ceiling tiles that are tin in older buildings. Very pretty card with the greens. Thanks for playing and telling us about your favorite Cuttlebug.

Beautiful card Liz, it must be your favorite if you already have a backup.... There isn't much in my area but you and your sister are always welcome... I have lots of stamp supplies and a great mountain view.
