How to Use a Cuttlebug
with Michelle Hartjes

The Cuttlebug die cutter and embosser is great for achieving lovely shapes and embossed textures on your cardstock and patterned paper. We show you how to easy it is to use the Cuttlebug.



What You Need:
• A Cuttlebug machine and included plates (2 x 'B' plates, 1 x 'A' Spacer)
• Cardstock or paper
• A Cuttlebug die and a Cuttlebug embossing folder
Step 1
On a smooth surface, lower both the platforms at the same time by pressing them down until they both lay flat.
Step 2
Position the cutting die 'foam side up' onto the B plate, place your cardstock on top of the foam and then sandwich the die and cardstock between the other B plate.
Step 3
Lay both 'B' plates onto the 'A' spacer and move the whole lot through the Cuttlebug by turning the handle.
Step 4
Once the plates, die and cardstock have moved through to the other side of the Cuttlebug, remove them all and find your cut shape.
How to Emboss with Your Cuttlebug:

Step 1
To emboss your paper or cardstock with the Cuttlebug embossing folder, take your desired piece of paper and place it inside the folder.
Step 2
Follow the same process as above with the embossing folder placed between the two 'B' plates and then ontop of the 'A' spacer and move the whole lot through the Cuttlebug by turning the handle. When they appear through the other end, you should end up with a nicely embossed design on your paper or cardstock.
