Hello. This is my first post. I have been creating cards for only a short time and I am interested in getting something to do the embossing of cards (Dry embossing I think it's called). What is the best thing to use? I see all these nice patterns on cards and don't have a clue what I should get. I already own a Cricut machine for die-cuts (I was previously a scrapbooker) but don't have anything for embossing. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thanks so much!
Oh, and Lisa ann, forgot to say welcome to the SCS board. There are lots of very nice people here and you will find answers to most all of your questions.

I LOVE the Big Shot machine from SU--you can use ALL the other products in it--cuttlebug, Sizzix--etc. I still use my light table and dry emboss tools, but love love love the Big Shot. Have fun with whatever tool you decide on.

I have a Cuttlebug and a Big Shot from SU!....I had the CB first, and it does have its advantages, like portability, but the Big Shot is really pretty portable itself and can accommodate the Bigz XL dies (which are AMAZING, especially the Stampin' Up! exclusive ones)...and don't forget you can use all the CB dies and embossing folders on the Big Shot! It's such a great product!!
I got the big kick from michaels with a 50%off coupon. It is very similar to the big shot, just looks a little different. It is a very sturdy machine, and has a carrying handle, so it is very portable. I love it, yo can use cuttlebug folders, nestabilities and all the sizzix products with it.
