Embossing Nestabilities w/ Cuttlebug

[akmontgomery]

I'm having a difficult time embossing using the Nestabilities with the Cuttlebug. Has anyone had difficulty? I've heard that they emboss better with the Wizard. Does anyone know if this is true?

I use mine with the CB. I find that if you mist the paper lightly just before you run it through to emboss it will emboss much better.
Hope this helps.

I haven't had any problems embossing with my bug...BUT! I use Papertrey's white paper (haven't embossed on color yet) because I heard that the heavier weight embossed better (it IS wonderful!)

You might need to play with your shim a little and run it through a few times. I do find that thicker paper embosses better. Aren't they fun?

I finally broke down and bought a tan mat to use with my nesties in the CB. My sandwich is B plate, tan mat, cardstock (usually SU!), nestie (cutting side down), magnetic sheet, two pieces of cardstock and the B plate. Yes, I put my sandwich together upside down. I hate not being able to see my die!

This sandwich gives me a very nice embossing. But I might try using a few more cardstock shims and not the magnetic sheet...

You could try some Paper Glide and mist your cardstock if you have already tried shimming and other options. It's a liquid on the market to enhance dry embossing.

Good Luck.

How clever! I'll have to try this!

Just for the record, the upside-down sandwich is not my original idea. I saw it in the Cuttlebug Q&A thread and thought it was a great idea!!
