Do you have one of those big Ellison die cut machines at your school? We have one and with all this talk about the Cuttlebug I was wondering if you can do the dry embossing with the big press at school. Has anyone tried this? If so which templates did you use?? I was going to see if anyone had done that before I get some templates and play around with it. I love the look of the embossing with the cuttlebug so I thought I might try that out!
Something else silly that you might want to try- I have the lunchroom ladies saving all the cardboard sheets that come in the boxes of the little jelly packs and butter. I use the big Ellison press and letters at school and punch out monograms to make my own tagboard letters.

What a great idea! I just got the 'bug this weekend. I wonder if the big machines have more pressure than the Sizzix. I wouldn't want to crush my folder to bits ;-)

Michelle I'd think the big Ellison/Accu-cut machines would work -- it would just be a matter of finding the right "height" to roll through. I've used my Sizzix dies on the commercial die-cutters just fine. Now, they're much thinner than those big wooden dies so I put my Sizzix die face-up on top of the white Sizzix cutting mat and just layed my cardstock on top of the die and it was a perfect height to roll through. I think if you played around with the embossing folders they'd work great too -- it's the same basic roll-through die-cut machine as the Cuttlebug and Big Shot . . . it's just made for commercial use. Good luck!!

We have the Ellison and I wondered the same thing. We have an alphabet and some shapes. I keep thinking I'm going to cut out an alphabet, but haven't yet. I'll have to talk to the lunch ladies about the cardboard. Can you buy that anywhere?

What a great idea! Using cereal boxes is great, too. TFS!
I have an Accucut Mark IV here at the house (it's the roller one that takes the same dies as the big Ellison). Dies are pricey for this machine, upwards of $700 for an alphabet set ( I don't have an alpha for this machine).
I use the Big Shot for all the rest of my dies. Does a great job cutting chipboard.

It has a big handle. You just slide the die in with the paper under it. Then you just pull the handle down and it cuts it in one pull. So which dies should I try?
