How to Emboss With a Cuttlebug A2 Folder
Embossing creates a raised design on a piece of paper. You can transfer the design by rubbing a stylus tool over paper placed on an embossing plate or by putting the paper in an embossing folder and running it through a special machine, such as the Cuttlebug by Provo Craft. A2 embossing folders are 4.5-by-5.5 inches and can be used for greeting cards and scrapbooking projects.
