I have just "discovered" how I can make a frame around a stamped image with a cuttlebug folder. I cannot however take credit for it.
If you've not visited S
ue Nelson's blog, do it now!! It is full of great inspiration and wisdom.
look in her Christmas gallery at
card #3303 See the "frame" of snowflakes around the snowmen image?
in her cuttlebug tutorial section, she explains how she did this and it is further discussed in the message boards. Its brilliant and so easy.
Essentially you get a rubber gasket from the plumbing section of the hardware store and use that on top of the folder to re-distribute the pressure. Voila a framed image - no brain damage! I've done a rectangle like the one shown on card 3303 and will be getting more gaskets to do other shapes!
I am so excited, this is one thing I thought was missing from the cuttlebug and its not anymore! Thanks Sue!
