Our Artist in Residence answers your questions
Q: Nancy wants to know: "Why is my paper cracking when I emboss?"
A: Cracking can sometimes be caused by too much pressure on the cardstock; sometimes this is caused by the depth of the design in the embossing folder itself. For a lighter impression you can actually run those folders through 'open faced' - for the Big Shot, turn the base plate to tab 2, then layer a cutting plate, the embossing pad, cardstock, the embossing folder (open, with the debossed side down), and the 2nd cutting plate.

Feedback From Past Tutorials
Shawn D has a tip for the Cupcake Box tutorial: "You could crimp the paper strip for the cup if you had a bunch to make, to save time."
