Cuttlebug and Nesties: You CAN cut and emboss in ONE pass!!
Being the lazy crafter that I am, I was tired of having to switch plates and make two passes with my Cuttlebug and my Nestabilities. Soooo, I figured out that you can cut and emboss ALL IN ONE PASS!! Here's the sandwich that I used (bottom to top):
A PLATE
2-3 pieces of CS for shims
C PLATE
Nestability, ridge side up
Cardstock/DP for cutting (face down, if two-sided)
B PLATE
Run it through the Cuttlebug, and VOILA!!
WARNING: I found that as I did this over and over, that my B PLATE got pretty disfigured. I flip flop my B plate every time I run it through and it eventually flattens itself back out. I replace my B PLATES on a pretty regular basis, so this doesn't bother me. ALSO, this is a pretty tight fit - it WILL go through but will require some elbow grease. Hope this helps some other lazy crafters like me!! hehehe
