Quite some time again I posted this picture from a post showing how to use magnetic mats to create a border frame straight onto your card.....
Pat Morgan has asked me about how I made the little flowers. I wish I could say I made them because they would look real cute, but NO they are actually very small toppers from a kit I purchased from QVC many moons ago!
As you can see they look insignificant used alone - but with a bit of layering, wire, beads and my Nestie squares....not too bad!
IF, you should NOT have a magnetic mat, you can still emboss dies in this way with your Bug.
The Sandwich is
A / tan mat / card / die cut side down / possibly shim(s) / 2 B plates
TIPS : try without shim first to test pressure
secure your die/dies in place with a low tack tape
For other sandwich recipes on embossing (or die cutting) - you can check out the appropriate page at the top of any post.

Thanks for sharing - I'll have to give this a go with my Big Shot because I like the effect.
