Make your own embossing plate…. (great idea!)
Here it is

How clever

Thats what I thought Lacey, you can use anything to do that with x

That sounds fab, bet it will work on the big shot too! What did she use card or paper to punch out the flowers on?

Great idea Maggie, thanks for the link.
I was also wondering that same thing Louise, I’d have thought it would have to be something reasonably thick for it to work.

Had a look and it looks like chipboard. Don’t have a Cuttlebug, but looks like a money saver to me for anyone who does…

Chip board none of my punches will punch through chip board, it will break them

Neither will mine, but I don’t have any craft machinery, so it doesn’t really matter.

I wouldnt chance chipboard, I have broken 2 platers this year so being more carefull
I suppose and thickness paper or card would do, just alter the amount of shims Louise xx

Thanks for the advice Maggie

Your most welcome xx

Oh Maggie…I never realised the plates could break. Are they expensive? I imagine they are.

Debbie if you overtax them they will crack but dont worry it takes a lot,
one of the times I put too a thick plate in by mistake it was my own fault,
the other time I think the plate was too old
I think it was around £9 for 2 so not too bad price wise xx

Hope you didn’t injure yourself….

what a great idea maggie thanks for sharing the link

No Debbie just got a fright when it snapped thank you xx

Rosie you are welcome hun xxx
