How do I emboss (not cut) a custom name on cardstock using this on a cuttlebug?

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but I don't think you can emboss paper with this thin strip. It is meant to cut paper (not fabric, or cardboard, just paper). I'm not sure exactly how you would go about embossing someones name either unless you had a custom embossing folder made. I did a google search and found this site http://www.customembossingfolders.com/ I hope this helps.

No you do not need embossing pad or power. It brings the embossing plat that you use over and over and one embossing folder and two small ones, plus other. Then you can buy other embossing folders that you like from sizzix, cuttlebug or Darice to use with the sizzix texture boutique embossing machine.

The black plate is used for embossing. Layer from the bottom up...Multipurpose platform with number 2 shim flipped back. Next layer clear cutting pad, metal die with cutting edges facing up, card stock is next. Add silicone pad and lastly the black Impression Pad. Good luck!

Hello Monica, I think you can but I don't own a cuttlebug but it is a regular cartridge so if you normally use regular cartridges I don't see why not. Kalina

No you do not. This die is a magnetic base itself. This means that you can cut the Tag and Bookplates with just the extended cutting plates. Also you can add the smaller Movers and Shapers Magnetic Repositional dies to this base. So if you wanted a heart cut out of your tag then you could add it to this base die and you will get a tag with the heart cut out of it. So have fun and enjoy. This is a great die and I just love it. Just go to this address: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IxwbTGjvbx0#t=316 and it will show you about these dies. Hope this helps. :)

Since I already own a Cuttlebug, I just used my Cuttlebug A, B, & C plates and they work just fine if you use the bottom plate that comes with the Big Shot Pro. You can find Cuttlebug plates very reasonably priced at many craft stores. I don't have any large dies so I don't need really big plates. Basically, the Big Shot Pro can use most any of the major machines' plates. I really love my BSP and wish I'd bought it sooner! It's the only machine that works with the custom die I had made.

Hi, I just looked up the Eclips machine and from what I can tell these embossing folders likely won't work with it. It looks like the Eclips is a shape cutting machine, not an embossing machine. I hope that answers your question.Thank you and good luck!

You can use any Avery set but you can also use Publisher and open up a Business sized template which will then set it up for you but you have to select "edit" before printing to put in the proper allingment numbers. Are you doing a full bleed card or a non ble d card? Full bleed is where the colors extend to all borders and there are no white spaces.

I don't think so? I have a cuttlebug but have used a big shot, and it seems as long as you're using the right plates you should be good. It's just a normal metal die

You have a couple of options. If you have editing software, you can design a file with the full word and import it. If it's a fairly small word, you can use the preinstalled text editor (NOT the monogram) and type words. It's not an awesome machine for things like embroidering names on jerseys, because it's hard to get the alignment right, but it can be done. There are accessories you can buy that give you a larger field, but your embroidery field stays the same--you can just continue the word without having to re frame your fabric. Hope this helps!

its fine glitter. you could try for stamp embossing, but i think you would be wasting whatever glitter you use.

Hi Venus, I have cut felt, thin chipboard and of course cardstock. I have embossed all different weights of fabrics, thin cardboard and felt so far. I'm sure it would emboss compressed foam. It is a wonderful embosser and a real workhorse! I would recommend you buy a couple of cutting plates and at least an extra set of the embossing plates. I'm going to try a cut aluminum can. Great idea! I'm that confident about it! I'm all about recycling and creating art! I hope this helps!

Go to MasonRow .com and you can pre look at all the possible designs. There are quite a few. Once embosser comes in mail, it will Send a code to then order it. But additional for$30 each or a trio pack...all personalized how you want it. Keep in mind,when typing,the red dot let's you move print inn a circle on some pages

No - a cuttlebug is a die cutting machine that uses embossing folders and metal dies sandwiched between 2-3 plates and cuts using pressure. There are no blades involved with a cuttlebug.

You can always find an engraver if that's what you wanted to do, otherwise I replied to your other one that we could do it with a metal strip personalized. Thank you again!

Yes you can but only if you have the dies such as Sizzix or Tim Holtz dies. These dies are a little over 1/2 inch thick which will take the place of the "A" plate of the Cuttlebug. You can purchase different types of designs from Amazon or your local craft stores. These dies have a black firm foam top with the designs cut into it. You can also cut chip board using these dies. Hope this helps.

Unfortunately, we are not equipped to do customization on books, apparel, bags, etc. I would suggest taking the book to a business specializing in imprinting personal messages on items.
