This is Leftovers VI, and instead of my usual linocut, I created this drypoint etching of a farmer ploughing a field in the Welsh countryside.

Cricut does include a brochure, but if you prefer video help, I recommend this short video by Anna Griffin. Just place the material inside the embossing folder and run it through the Cuttlebug machine as normal. The only Cricut machine designed to emboss, the Cricut Cuttlebug gives professional-looking results with clean, crisp cuts and deep, even embossing. Then you crank the handle and it all comes out the other side, with the image embossed on the paper. I happened have a scrap piece of Gold Adhesive Foil left from my DIY Christmas Tree Decoration tutorial and a small notebook that I got for free at a conference with me, and that’s how the idea for the gratitude notebook was born.We will use your data to personalise and improve your experience on our digital platforms and to send you relevant products and offers we think you'll love. These 4 or 5-star reviews represent the opinions of the individuals who posted them and do not reflect the views of Etsy. For a limited period each machine will be supplied with an exclusive set of four Celebration Stamps Embossing folders and a 2x2 Square Stamp Frame Die! Sturdy page inserts for the binder hold various sizes of dies and folders, including A2, 2" x 2", 3" x 3", and 2" x 6".

The roller is easy to use, simply put your die cut or embossing folder in the opening and use the handle to turn and move the die cut or embossing folder forward till it comes completely out the other side. It works just fine for printing etchings and relief prints, however it is limited by its size, printing to a maximum of approximately 14 x 18 cms.This is the tool that I used to create marks on the surface of the acrylic; a set of compasses wrapped with masking tape to make it easier to hold. I have several friends who love theirs, and they are able to use the cutting plates from other machines (ie Sizzix and QuicKutz). It's my first time using a die cut machine so I may have dented the sheets but it still works perfectly! I was lucky enough to be sent one as part of a series of posts I wrote about Cricut’s new Scoring Wheels. This is not really a problem, but it’s misleading to the eye when you’re trying to line up the paper and embossing folder.
