I just bought some of the little circle/square CB folders and am wondering if anyone can direct me to some samples that have been posted using these little folders. TIA.

I would like to know how people use these little folders without getting the edges of the folder embossed on the card too? KWIM? Also, if I try to line them up close together, they flatten out the embossing where the folders overlap. Any hints would be great.

I just finished playing around with my CB and little folders. Mine impresses the edges very visibly, so I tried a couple of things. Obviously the two B plates applied too much pressure, so this is what I did to finally get a line-free result:
I just used the A plate, 4 layers of SU cardstock as a shim, the little CB embossing folder with my CS inisde, then the C plate on top and cranked it through. It embossed nicely but without the lines of the edges of the folder. I verified my method with two folders--the stitched square and fancy corner.
I'm sure there are other options to get a similar result and I would love to hear them. Many of you have said that your Bug does not leave the edges. Lucky you!

Mine did this at first too but now that I've had it for a year and this summer ran 100 A2 sheets through it seems to have loosened up and I don't get the folder overlap. My friend, Nancy had that problem at first too and now she doesn't so we figured the loosened up is a good explanation.

Mine left the edges when I first got it ... but now that I've had it for a year it doesn't. My friend and I suspect the bug has loosened up so, don't give up try a thinner sandwich or crank out a lot of A2 folders (I did 100 A2 with french script this past spring for my wedding invites!)
I finally worked out a sandwich stack which suits using these in my bigshot without leaving the imprint of the edges.
My question is...I have the set formal squares, in this set there are 2 folders which each have 2 small images. I thought they are for embossing card corners but how does this work ? The only way I can figure out how to use these is to emboss on scap card and then cut them out and stick them on to my card like photo corners. Can anyone shed some light on these folders ?
Wow-these are all great ideas. I've been avoiding the little folders because I wasn't sure how to use them. TFS!!!!
