Has anyone put the envelopes in the embossing folders and mailed them? I did one to match the card and it looks so pretty - just wondering what the PO might charge for that!!
Gail the embossing folders are the larger ones that you run through the cuttlebug that leaves the paper embossed. Some of them are called Swiss Dot and Stylized Flowers for instance. I beleive you have already used these (the script one on your sympathy card) thats in your gallery. HTH
What are embossing folders please? thanks ..ahead..loves ya
Textured plates that run through the Cuttlebug machine. Totally cool. I just got the Disney Magic Happens folder and there is an image that is for the address line on the envelope. Haven't tried it yet but should. CB rocks!
I have done the flap of the envelope on ones that I have sent through the mail, but I was afraid to do the whole thing because I was afraid the the stamp would come off. I have done the whole envelope if it was one that I was handing to the recipient and let me tell ya - it's got a wow factor for sure!
Here's a thought - what if you address and stamp the envelope BEFORE putting it through the Bug? That way the stamp would have all points of contact rather than just the raised portions of the envelope. My mailman is grumpy sometimes - this might just push him over the edge!
Thanks for posting the pictures, it really is a nice touch. I usually do a lot of handmade cards that get hand delivered, so I don't worry too much about a grumpy postman. This would be great with the snowflakes for Christmas Cards.
Also, perhaps an embossed envelope and then use a label to address so that the address is clear?

I love doing the flaps. I thought you were talking about doing the whole envelope. I would wonder about the machines being able to "read" the address if the whole thing was embossed...
GORGEOUS!!! Those cards and envies look amazing. I got a rain check for the 50% off cuttlebug at Mike's yesterday and now I REALLY want it to arrive soon
I don't see why would change the price of the stamp because you arn't making it thicker than 1/4 inch or changing the size of the card and it would still go thru there machine. I would stick with the .41c stamp for just embossing. Great idea btw i gotta try that
Ladies you can also put a strip of Tape on the stamp t keep it in place...TFS all the info
FYI You can't cover postage with tape in Canada

You can't cover stamps with tape in the US either. I've gotten mail back before for accidently covering it while tape an envelope or box. They are very picky.
Wow, I think I will look into this cuttlebug machine. Is it very expensive?
You can get them for as low as $ 35.00. It depends on where you buy the Bug. Once you start buying the embossing folders and dies it gets kind of addicting, so be aware;)

That is exactly what I thought....kind of addicting!! So, all of you seasoned Bug owners, where do you suggest I start to own a Bug myself? My Michaels doesn't have an add this week.

I got mine at Joanns with a 40% coupon. I've been accumulating one embossing folder or die per week with a coupon from either Joanns, Michaels or AC Moore. The folders are only $4.99 - $5.99, so those aren't bad. The dies cost more, so definitely save them for days you have coupons.

Michael's has a 20% off your entire purchases this week - so probably not great if you were just getting the one off purchase but for a big spree it would be pretty good.;)
Back on top - loved the embossed envelopes! so very elegant

If you have AC Moore near you, you can get a 40% coupon (for regular priced items) from their website. Go to www.acmoore.com and click the Store Locator & Coupons tab at the bottom of the screen. Enter your zip code on the locator screen. There's a coupon link next to each store it finds near you.
