CountryStyle Report post Posted September 1, 2012 So my wife bought a cuttlebug and I decided I would run a piece of leather through it. It is 3-4 oz med grade import from SLC, run through the cuttlebug with an embossing folder (after being cased). Finished with eco flo all in one desert tan, then fiebings black antique on top. I don't want to start embossing all my work, but I figured this could be good for making small journals or notepads for quick and easy sales, while I work on other stuff. Or maybe leather Christmas presents/cards. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CountryStyle Report post Posted September 1, 2012 That came out nice. Can you make your own designs with a Cuttlebug? I think you can, but I haven't looked too far into it yet. Did a rough search about it and it seems like there are ways, but not sure about what tools to use to do it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WinterBear Report post Posted September 1, 2012 I'm intrigued. Seems to me that you could trim that out, or portions of it, and use it as decorative sewn-on elements. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WScott Report post Posted September 1, 2012 Interesting If one had a bit of mechanical ability I bet one could make a hand crank embossing machine without relying that machine and its paraphernalia Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wishful Report post Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Thanks for sharing. I was considering the cuttlebug or similar to cut out shapes but I sure like the embossing technique.So what model number or type is it specifically?

DoubleC Report post Posted September 1, 2012 I think it's so cool. Sure wish I knew what a cuttlebug was. Guess it's time for google :-) Really nice, Cheryl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
