Using Small Cuttlebug Folders

I love the small embossing folders for the cuttlebug but was having a problem with getting lines round the folder I just searched youtube and found this video which is really useful I have not tried the solution but plan to next time.

Big Shot Express - Dream Machine!

My friend bought a Big Shot Express machine for a bargain price of £70 I only wish i waited now to decide which was best but I do like the cuttlebug anyway and I am going to try and resist to buy the Big Shot if there are any left at that price or speak nicely to hubby this weekend - not sure which!

Here are some of my creations so far
