Hi

Hi, Thanks for dropping by.

My name is Eileen but to friends in the card making world I'm known as 'ikki'. (which is pronounced I-KEY) From where or how this came about I'm not sure - it just got shorten from my original craft name of Ikemo by various friends along my crafting way! I started crafting whilst recouperating from an accident, and from my first attempts with peeloffs and paint - I was hooked! Now my passion is my BUG! and now BEADING!

In the Cupboard you will find ideas, news, tips and techniques to help you get more from this fab little machine. So come in - join the fun and Cuttle with me!

Sandwich Recipe for Embossing without magnetic mat

Following my post yesterday:

To make an embossed shape on card without using an magnetic mat and without cutting the card you would used the following......

The sandwich for the Bug:  A / tan mat / card / die cut side down / possible shim(s) / 2 B plates


For the JT:  A (white plate)  / black mat / card / die cut side down / B (black plate)

Hope you find this helpful.  I will post this info on Embossing Page, or you could check the labels sections.

Thanks for the reminder about this type of embossing and for the sandwich recipe. I will try it in the Big Shot and see if it also works there as I'm sure it will with a bit of experimentation.

Hi Ikki - as promised here is what I did to achieve embossing on the Big Shot without using a magnetic mat.

Use multi platform with top tab (tab 2) folded back. Onto the next layer (tab 1) place a cutting plate; the die - cutting side up; card; soft embossing mat (mine is purple); the embossing plate (also purple) on top.

I've not tried it with a magnetic mat but imagine I would probably need to go down another layer on the multi platform and possibly need some card shim.

Thanks for the recipe, Ikki. I can't use magnets (have a pacemaker) so I'll definitely be trying this. Lynne x
