The Cuttlebug embossing folders are the best of all worlds. They emboss cleanly, can be used in most larger die cutting machines and they're inexpensive. I use mine in a Sizzix Big Kick. They are plastic folders with a positive image on one side and a negative on the other. Sandwich paper between, put it through the machine and voila! You have your image
The area the larger folders cover is a quarter sheet of 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper, just the right size for a small card or a panel on a larger card. This particular design looks good as is or colored in with chalk or markers.
The most dynamic method, however, is to use a brayer to ink the negative of the folder, insert the paper and roll it through the machine. What you get is the raised image the color of the paper and the background the color of the ink. It is gorgeous.
Some of the most effective uses come from embossing white paper and doing nothing at all other than adding a sentiment or a couple of embellishments. It can be quite elegant.

I use this for my cards. I take a strip of paper the same length as the die but larger in width, emboss it, then cut the width down to the size I want, and glue it onto my card. The result is fantastic. If you try to emboss the card itself, it leaves a faint edge indention that may bother some that's why I emboss with the width larger than what I need. It's a great addition.

I get a lot of positive feedback from people when I use this embossing folder as a background on cards. I find it versatile enough to not get old. First I use it as is, just emboss a light piece of card stock and complete my card design. Second, I emboss a piece of card stock and sponge a coordinate color ink lightly over the top of the raised letters for more dramatic look. But my favorite way to use this folder is to emboss Color Core cardstock and then sand the raised image to reveal the color "core". That is the most dramatic and gives the most texture to my work.Core'dinations Cardstock Super Assortment 8.5"X11" 80/Pkg-So Mod!
Honest reviews on Cuttlebug Emboss A2
This folder creates exactly what you see written words. I think this looks better on brown or goldish toned papers. Looks like and old piece of a journal. Wouldn't use with too thick of papers, regular cardstock should give the results what you desire.
