This week we are revisiting a technique that was posted a while back called double embossing. It's not embossing with 2 folders but embossing with one folder and nestabilities all on one project. I had always wanted to leave a smooth space in the middle of my embossing folders but didnt like that the smooth space looked plain so I played around with many different combinations of "sandwiches" in my cuttlebug until I discovered the perfect one that would allow me to emboss the surrounding area of a nestabilites and also emboss the nestabilitie's shape.
This technique can be seen on this video . We hope that you find time to try the technique for your next project and share that with us. Enjoy our creations this week.
Don't forget to leave us a comment as your entry to win this week's gift certificate from Simon Says Stamp.
Winner will be announced Monday's March 1st post. Deadline for entries is Saturday February 27th 9:00 pm (pst).

So inspiring, I'm going to try this!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for new ways to use existing stash. Lovely cards.
ReplyDeleteI can't believe I just found your Cuttlebug Spot....I love my cuttlebug and have not used it that much, but after watching your video (and purchasing some Nestabilities)I am so inspired. Thank you so-0-0 much!!!! Diane
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I have seen that video before, but there are so many things to try I can't remember them all, so it's great to have a refresher.
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful! I can never seem to get mine to come out so perfectly, but I'll keep trying until I come up with the right combination for my machine. :)
ReplyDeleteOk,
ReplyDeleteCan anyone give any pointers on this?
I've followed the video exactly and still it doesn't work.
It still embosses in the space just a little less deep than the rest of it.
I've tried different thickness of chipboard to see if that made a difference and I can't go any thicker as the CB struggles to get through the depth I'm using already.
I really wanted to try this but it is beating me.
Can any of the DT who made cards this way come on and give some hints please?
Thank so much!!
Katie your chipboard is most likely too thick, it should NOT struggle at all to go through. I ran into this the first few shots I took at it. Use thin cereal boxes or other recycled boxes-- that seemed to work best for me! good luck
ReplyDeleteHave tried this a couple times...still have a LONG way to go to master it like these!! Thanks for all the beautiful inspiration! - Kim
ReplyDeleteKerri,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip :)
I tried thin and it didn't work either but I'll keep trying.
I really want to try this and hate to be beaten! LOL
OK, I did it!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNow just to complete the card and come back and show you.
Thanks for all your help, it won't be a technique I use all the time but for a special card it will be perfect.
What a great technique. I just love it and it's not as difficult as it looks. It was actually a lot of fun. You can see my go at it on my blog at http://scrapellasblog.blogspot.com/2010/02/cuttlebug-spot-double-embossing.html
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the tut!
I can't wait to try this. It looks like a neat technique. Thanks for showing us all your designs!

ReplyDeleteYou can do this technique with the back of cereal boxes.. thats what I used for my most recent card.. it works.. also make sure you have an embossing mat to get the embossing impression.
Loved having a go at this technique this week all the cards are fabulous girls!

As you folks on here are so clever with The Cuttlebug I wonder if you could tell me why I would need to buy The Cuttlebug 'B' plates to use its embossing folders in my Double Do XL machine please?
ReplyDeleteI so wish I had not succumbed and bought this machine as I am unable to find many nice embossing dies for this machine in the UK. wish I'd bought The Cuttlebug now!!!!
Thanks if anyone can help me.
jordiegirl, I don't have that machine but it appears that you need the B plate to complete the "sandwich" in the correct size for the machine to emboss the folder. You could play with the plates that come with your machine but I'm guessing it would just be easier to buy a B plate in the long run. Custom crops carries the plates as do many other stores that have the CB products.
ReplyDeleteHere is a tutorial for your machine. http://www.craftideas.info/html/cuttlebug_and_double_do_b.html
Great projects ladies!
Thanks for the inspiration Nilda, I love the results of this technique…the results look like a lot of work but with your tutorial, we can all have “wowie” results. And thank you to Simon Says Stamp for being so generous with their donation! I just checked out their website and I see LOTS to LOVE. Good on you for getting another wonderful sponsor!!
