Turquoise Happy Birthday Card 75

The Cuttlebug was used to make this cheerful birthday card

The Cuttlebug is a versatile cutting and embossing machine and is useful for scrapbooking, paper crafts and card crafts.

 

 

Cuttlebug Machine 1

1. This is how the Cuttlebug looks. This is the closed position and is small and compact for easy storage.

Cuttlebug Machine 2

2. Opened, the Cuttlebug has a tray for processing the embossing folders or die cuts. When opening both trays, the Cuttlebug adheres to the table to make it stable when using.

 

Cuttlebug A, B and C Plates

3. The Cuttlebug comes with 3 processing plates. Depending on what you are embossing or cutting, you will need 2 or more of these plates. The “A” plate is the thickest and the “B” plate the thinnest of the three.

Cuttlebug Embossing Folders

4. These are two examples of the very large selection of Cuttlebug embossing folders. The larger folder is great for making background embossing and the smaller version is perfect for gift tags and also for embossing small messages.

5. Each folder opens and you will place the paper inside. Inside you will notice a positive and negative print. This will guarantee a quality embossed image once you have processed the folder through the machine.

6. To process, you will need to place your plates and materials in the following order:

1. The “A” plate
2. The “B” plate
3. The embossing folder
     with the paper placed
     inside it.
4. A second “B” plate

7. Turn the knob on the right side and process the “sandwich” through. Once finished, the paper is perfectly embossed.

Cuttlebug Dies

8. These are Cuttlebug dies. You can buy them like here in a pack of 4 or larger ones sold individually. 

Cuttlebug Die 3

9. To process using a die, you will need to place your plates and materials in the following order:

1. The “A” plate
2. The “B” plate
3. The Cuttlebug die with
     the foam side facing up
4. The paper or cardstock
5. A second “B” plate

10. Place the “sandwich” on the tray and process through the machine by turning the knob on the right.
