Okay I know a bunch of you got cuddlebugs recently or you have been bit by the bug for a long time. While I don't have the cuddlebug machine, I use the embossing folders in my sizzix bigkick. It works just fine.
I thought I would share some great uses of the cuddlebug embossing templates. I used the swirls to make my valentine cards.
Here are a couple of wonderful examples, I have seen on the blogsphere
I love the way Lynn from The Queen's Scene uses the swirls to imply the steaming cup of coffee http://thequeensscene.blogspot.com/ Definitely look around this blog, there are other great examples.
Here is another neat one from Inky Doodles where she cut out a small window. It is very cute as well.
I absolutely adore this snowman stamp on the snowflake embossed paper by Melissa at Ink-clinations.
Another great tutorial/experiment on inking both the embossing folder or the final embossed paper at Stampalicioius
And if all of that isn't good enough why not try this tutorial at Craftaholics Anonymous for glittering up your embossing folder. I am trying this one!
Don't have a machine - here is a tutorial for how to use a rolling pin to emboss at All that Scraps. I have tried it and it does work.
Very cool... your embossed cards look awesome. I'm not sure I'm up for that much work though. lol
