Another fun way to use embossing folders with the gel press: use your embossing folder to embossing a panel of paper. Then roll paint(or ink) onto you gel plate. Use the embossed paper to lift some of the color off your plate, the. Pull the print. You get cool texture for your gel print, PLUS you get some cool color in your embossed panel! I've only done it one time (one printing session), but I got some awesome results

Wonderful ideas! I have so many embossing folders that I rarely use, so I will definitely give these ideas a try. Little tip- when using a spray on the gel plate, if you put down a thin layer of matte medium first, the spay won’t bead up & you’ll get a good print from it. Versamark can also help with that, too. Same if you’re using reinkers on the gel plate- matte medium or Versamark first will give you a better result.

You can also adhere the top layer of a paper napkin before embossing. Apply glue stick to entire cardstock base then press onto the backside of the napkin and brayer to adhere.

I recently bought the Magic mat to use since my plates are no longer. You are lucky to still have the Cuttlebug plates to use. BTW, appreciate the idea of using what we have especially when all these companies are showcasing their new releases.
