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:
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).
