Nestabilities help!!

Hi all,

This is going to sound like a dumb question but I need some help! :)

I have some Spellbinders Nestabilities dies and I can not for the life of me figure out how to emboss with them. If someone could help explain how they work, I would really appreciate it. I can cut with them no problem, but haven't quite figured out the technique required to emboss!

Thanks! :)

What kind of machine are you using? Big Shot, Cuttlebug, Sizzix?

Try this link: http://ellenhutson.typepad.com/ellen_hutson_simple_dream/2007/07/ne... Ellen Hutson has sandwich recipes for just about everything. To emboss, however, you will need the tan embossing mat, or something similar.

What do you use the embossing for? I'd love to see pictures of the embossing after it's done. I really only use mine for cutting but would love some embossing inspiration

Here is a little card I made with embossing around the image, using the Nestabilities

Yes you have to add the mat, I have also realized for my Cuttlebug I needed to add a few extra pieces of cardstock to get a nice crisp embossed image.
