Cuttlebug: All-In-One Instructions

You can emboss, deboss, and letterpress images in the Cuttlebug All-In-One system. This line of Cuttlebug products uses a folder and a variety of embossing plates to give you the freedom to move and create your own designs. The positive plates are green, and the negative plates are clear.
