So, I figured out a new trick with my CUTTLEBUG....not so much a new trick, because I have been cutting out chipboard with my dies for a long time...but gluing the chipboard to a piece of paper and running it through the CUTTLEBUG with my rubber mat....well, that was a new idea! So, since the chipboard cut with my CUTTLEBUG die is so perfect..why not create my own CUTTLEBUG embossing sheet?? I just cut out the snowflakes, arranged them on a 4x5.25 piece of cardstock and glued them down. Once dry, I placed the "new embossing sheet" that I created on the A and B plate of my C-Bug, the paper I wanted to emboss goes next, the rubber embossing mat, and then topped it off with the B plate and rolled it though. What I got was an embossed piece of paper with an un-embossed center for stamping. I can do this with all my dies!! Heart for Valentines, stars for birthday's...just imagine!!

I colored in my embossed areas with my cut -n-dry foam and some ink to highlight the raised areas. I then stamped some more snowflakes othe front (and no I did intend for the flakes to not be perfect...I just wanted a hint of snowflakes stamped on. A little Stickles for the snow effect and I was done! Now I have a template for future snowflake cards to emboss with!
