thanks for your information about the embossing folders. I was wondering about them and now know it’s not something that I would be interested in. Great information. CHA sounds like fun

I was wondering how well the embossing folders and stamps would work. Both products seem right up my alley. I hope you give your review of the story book laminator too! Thanks for this website.

I can’t wait to try it out!! The possibility of making my own Cuttlebug folders excites me!! I’m sure if you play with sandwhich combos and maybe other mats there is a combo that will work better.

I just got my cuttlebug and i have been using it a bunch over the past few days. This adds a whole now way to connect the cricut and the cuttlebug. Cant wait to check this out.

NC Grandma says:

I agree that it’s most likely for those doing mass productions, which I don’t do, so doubt I’d get it. However, if I see it ‘live in action’ I may change my mind.

I can see why you needed a nap. I’m sure you went full speed ahead the whole time, but looks like so much fun.

Rachel (b&wsmommy) says:

It sounds neat in theory but maybe not so much in reality

I’m pretty happy w/ my CB and I think I’ll stick to that for awhile b4 I try making my own folders.

Thanks for sharing your experience with the custom embossing folders. I have an interest in these and I was wondering how they worked.
#
Bethany Hardy says:
July 21, 2008 at 5:47 pm

I like the idea, but am not sure if I would use them or not. LOL Who am I kidding…I feel the need to own ANY new stuff…whether it seems practicle or not.
#
Stacy Brallier says:

I was wondering if this would work & was cheap to help me decide if I still want to buy a Cuttlebug – I think I do. Thanks for the heads up!

I was curious about the raised image when it said to cut it with the cricut. Hopefully it can be modified to give a really good raise on the paper.

Thank you for the review! Funny thing I tried…ontop of the frosting can was an enbossed image of Pillsbury the dough boy…I thought if I cut this out I could run him through the cuddlebug and get the image, well I did but it wasn’t very raised at all. Now that I see you have to have a neg. and a pos. image. I will keep working on this….he’s such a cute liitle fella! :O)

Thanks for letting us know about the depth. hmmmmm…I was all excited about this one and now I’m not so sure. I guess I will be holding off a bit and seeing what type of results that people are getting and how!
#
Scrappindad says:
July 21, 2008 at 11:45 pm

I too will have to wait and see how people are using this product now that I’ve read your information. The thing I love most about Cuttlebug folders is how crisp their impressions are. I wouldn’t like them as much without that.

Thanks for the info!
#

Thanks for the info on the folders. I was really excited about making my own embossing folders… but now I think I need to see someone’s results before I buy.
#
Amy says:
July 22, 2008 at 2:10 am

Thanks for the critique. It sounds like a good idea in theory, but maybe a later edition will provide deeper impressions. I love the idea, but I’d have to see others’ great results before I invest in this one, for now.

Thanks for all the great pics. I was very excited about the embossing folder kit, but it looks like it may take some playing with. I think the Fiskars stamper looks pretty cool, though!

You both look like you had a fantastic time at CHA. I think I will stick to the Cuttle bug embossing folder. I have a lot and would love some of the new ones. How did you like the different blade housing that can be used for chipboard? That I would love to have. Would love a free cart from CHA too. Thanks for entering me in the drawing.
