Hello
I’ve just bought a xcut impress machine with loads of accessories and I dont know if anyone else has figured this out but you can emboss using the shapes you have cut out with the dies.  I found this out whilst trying to emboss a design on to card and didnt realise there was some shapes stuck to the underside of the top blue plate anyway it ruined what I was doing but gave me a great idea.

What does everyone else think? is this a new idea or a “been there done that” kind of thing. cheese

need to cut around them.

I love putting lots of common household / stationery type items through my ‘bug. Often I use paperclips which I have made into shapes and then use these to emboss large areas. Works a treat and get unique designs which are fab when edged with chalks or ink pads. Does anyone else have ideas of things you have / can use in your ‘bug.
