If you would like to know how to emboss straight on to your card you can check how to do this here
I have been playing around with my Squares and these are the results that I acheived.
I have photed the dies as you would place on your card to emboss or deboss a pattern
Emboss - both dies used with the cut side down
Emboss and Deboss - using the outer die cut side down and the inner cut side up
The Sandwich I used is slightly different - BUT THIS WORKS IN MY BUG
A Plate/ B Plate/ TAN mat/ Card/ Die (face up or down)/ Shim/ B Plate
If the die (dies) is face up in the sandwich - the shim actually saves cutting into the B Plate!!!
Interesting! I'm sorry about the poor quality of the pictures - I thought that coloured card would show up better - it didn't - but I think you will be able to see the results of my experiment by clicking on the picture. For a clean, simple, but at the same decorative card, this way of using your Wizard dies could be very useful. You could either stamp the centre panel, or add decoupage, or a sentiment, or an embellishment of flowers etc....lots of choices. Hope you'll try it and let me know how you get on.

Brilliant! Would never have thought of this, so thanks for sharing it.
Thanks for another great tutorial, more new things to try out! Definitely one I wouldnt have thought of myself.

Funnily enough only today I saw a card where the flat side of a Nestie had been embossed. Like your previous commenter, I hadn't thought of doing that myself, but you were there way ahead, yet again!
Brilliant!

This is a very cool idea & now you have talked me into getting some of these, I love my cuttlebug.
