cuttlebug embossing folders
 

Hi, this might sound like a little strange but I seen somewhere that you could use a rolling pin on the cuttlebug embossing folders, just wondering if it is possible and how on earth you could do it?:confused:
Is it possible? Lol

It is possible and here is a tutorial put out by all that scraps:

Others have tried running the embossing folder and cardstock through a pasta maker too!

Resistance is futile! Just go ahead and buy the 'Bug! You won't be disappointed!

She is so right. I held out and tried and tried to use the rolling pin. It was hard work, and the image hardly showed up.

Get the Bug!:)

I use a rolling pin with the folders and am very pleased with the results. I do lightly dampen the card stock on the front and back sides, which makes such a difference in the image quality.

I heard about using a rolling pin from some ladies on a German stamping site. They say it works great.
But I have to agree with the ladies before me. IMHO the Bug is an investment that you will not regret.

Thankyou ladies for the great responses. I have asked for a "bug" for mothers day (fingers crossed that I get it). It's about $120 here in Aussie on special. So at the moment all i can do is drool over the great cards made with it. Lol, gee i sound pityful. Lol.

I can attest that a pasta maker works just great! I thought it was such an intriguing idea that I tried it out even though I have a Zip e'mate that works just fine with my folders. Either of these things won't let you do partial embossing on a card front as you can't run the folder through sideways but it works just fine for embossing 'free standing' pieces. If you don't get a bug for mothers day, maybe you could look out for a cheap pasta maker (often found at yard sales or worth a look in you local Op Shops if you have them).
