When you emboss and die cut...

[Scrapjanny]

... which do you do first?

I use Sizzix texture plates and Cuttlebug embossing folders, and I find that the process works much better when I cut first and then emboss. I'll tell you why. I tried embossing first, but some of my embossed pieces fell off on the edges after I ran them through my Big Kick. When I emboss after I cut, I never have that problem.

I cut first because if I emboss and THEN run it through my wizard the embossing gets squished too much.
