Ideas for the Cuttlebugs SMALL embossing folders?
 

My sister and I both recently bought the Cuttlebug. We each bought several of the larger embossing folders to emboss the backgrounds for our cards, but we aren't sure what to do/ when to use the small embossing folders they offer.

I looked thru the gallery searching for any cards people have used these on and I have only found one so far!

Has anyone made a card and posted it, using some of the small Cuttlebug embossing folders? We'd love to see samples!

Thanks for helping!

I have made several things with the small embossing folders, and then I use a punch to crop the image.

I don't have any in my gallery, so here's a thumbnail.

Oops, that was supposed to be 2 examples....here is the other.

I posted this simple card a couple months ago. My only tip is to experiment with shims and the plates to get just the right pressure. You can just make out the outline of the folder on this card. On later runs I was able to get the image without the outline by tweaking the sandwich.

Here's a few in my gallery:

I was wondering what to do with them too and would love to see samples!
I've been looking for new folders, but when I see the smaller ones, I just can't think of anything.

Here's an envelope where I embossed the flap - http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=87040

Here I embossed a tag on the card and the envelope flap - http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=87040

Here are some that I did:

The small embossing squares "stitched squares" are perfect for framing inchies. Here is a 3x3 I made.

oops...here is attachment

these ideas are so cute, thanks for sharing

Here's an ATC that I did with the Stitiched Squares set, the only one I have. I wonder the same thing all the time. I'm definitely subscribing to this thread. Thanks for asking this great question!

I just ordered quite a few of the smaller embossing folders. My plan is to use parts of the folders and maybe punch or cut them out and mount on the cards. I'll subscribe to this thread and post pictures when I'm done with the card. Thanks for the question.

The "thanks" on Koopdedoo's first sample fits nicely on the largest of the four sliders. I cut the slider first, then emboss the thanks, then add with ribbon.

Let's keep this one going!

Thanks for starting this thread...I have a few of the small folders and have not used them yet.
Great ideas!

Great ideas----thanks:)

Now I have to buy a Cuttlebug! I'm loving the embossing!

I have two cards using the smaller embossing folders.
Here they are:

Lots of great inspiration here. You guys are all so talented. Really cute cards.

Thanks for sharing all your cute cards! I can't wait to show my sister the pictures!!

Thanks for posting this question. I was at Michaels yesterday and tried to figure out what I could do with them. I ended up getting a large embossing folder.

I have both the large and small embossing folders. I think of the large one's as dominating the card with a few accents; while the small ones make nice accents to a card.

great thread, I was looking for ideas to use these folders I just HAD to have :)

cute cards and ideas!!! I too have avoided buying the little embossing plates because I didn't want to be redundant with some of our stamp images.

Dont you just love "em the cards look great fabulous job

Ooooo. The folders are on sale at my Joann's for $3 and change. Snatch!

Now I have to add some of these to my Joann's list. If only the rain would stop. It is not the rain right now, but the wind. I have a few errands to get done today, maybe the rain can slow down a little. Luckily one of my stops is right across from JoAnn's.

Just FYI, you can also use those J's coupons at M's! They have some new dies!!!

You can also make tags with them!
