Good morning!
Before I get to the giveaway part, I want to take the time to share with you a layout I did featuring two of the Cuttlebug embossing folders. This machine is so versatile, and adds that little touch of detail to give your layout or papercrafting project more texture and eye appeal.
First I started with the “D’Vine Swirl” embossing folder. It almost gives a wave effect, perfect for those summer/water themed layouts.
Next, I embossed the Summer Fun paper from Hometown Summer. Next, I punched several circles in varying sizes.
Then I used the star border embossing folder from the “Measure by Measure” border folders. The borders are 7″ long. I used the Neighborhood Pool paper from Hometown Summer.
Last, I hand cut several embossed stars from the paper to add as embellishments to my layout.
Here is the finished project:
And some detail shots:
The Cuttlebug is super easy to use. I’ve incorporated it into almost all of my layouts since receiving it!
Now on to the fun giveaway!
Leave a comment here for your chance to win 3 Cuttlebug Folders. Winner will be announced on Monday!
Good luck! 
Cuttlebug A2 Embossing Folders bring any project to life by adding texture and style. These folders are the perfect size for A2 Greeting Cards with a design size of 5-1/4x4in. These handy folders were designed for the Cuttlebug Die Cutting System but will work with most die cutting machines.
