Will cuttlebug embossing folder work in ellison machine?

[whoolie]

Hi everyone,
I just bought a super cute cuttlebug embossing folder (snowflakes), but I don't have a cuttlebug. I do work at a school and we have the standard school ellison die cutting machine. Would this cuttlebug embossing folder work in the ellison machine at school?

Anyone know???
I hope so!!

They have a large Ellison at the LSS I used to work at and I think it might work, since it's a roller based system, you'll probably have to have some shims or something to make it be tight but I'd say give it a try.

But it is a press Ellison system. With the handle that you press down, like that red machine by Sizzix.

Any ideas??

Does anyone know for sure if this will work?

I guess I could just try it.

I would say give it a try. Since the Cuttlebug embossing folders are plastic, they have a bit of give to them so you aren't likely to hurt it in the big Ellison machine. I've even read where people have run the folders through a pasta machine.

Hi I, too, have the same kind of Ellison machine that you're describing at my school and I only tried it once, quickly. You need to have some kind of shim in with the folder for it to work. I tried to use one of the die blocks and that made it too thick. Try to find a piece of wood (or something sturdy) that isn't as thick as one of the die cuts you use for the machine. Good luck!

I'll try it and let you know how it works.

Everyone's input was helpful!
