Tutorial Tuesday Embossed Frames

Happy Tuesday!  It's time for another quick tutorial, and as usual, I'm playing with my Spellbinders and Cuttlebug!  I am going to show you how to emboss a frame in your card...without cutting  it.  It's pretty simple, and it WOWed me the first time I saw it, and I'm hoping there's one or two of you who might be WOWed by it today!

Here's what you need to emboss your frame.

Cuttlebug

A Plate

2 B Plates

3 sheets of cardstock  (I always add 3 pieces of cardstock when embossing!)

Spellbinder dies

Embossing mat 

Building from the bottom up:
