Using Nestabilites in your Cuttlebug
No matter how many times I read all the websites that have a "sandwich" recipe for the Cuttlebug, I mess it up. Call me an idiot but I need to see things first to be able to do them. I thought to myself, I must be the stupidest person around! But then, when customer after customer came back to our store after purchasing the Nestabilities having no clue how to use them in their Cuttlebugs, even after reading the sandwich recipes, I realized I wasn't alone. I thought I better do a step-by step visual tutorial. (Luckily, I learned by watching Jessica. LOL!) For those of you who have already figured it out, check out the end of this post for a cool new product and a Nestabilities giveaway!
To begin, you will need your Cuttlebug with all four plates.
Here's how we store the Nestabilities in our classroom at our store.
We purchased a pack of the magnetic sheets at Staples. They are super thin and one side has adhesive on it, the other side is magnetic. You can easily cut them with a paper cutter. We cut them to fit inside the tins and rounded the corners with a corner rounder punch. Then, we placed the Nesties inside.
How fun it this! It's like magic... ooooh! ( I am so easily amused.)
Here is your visual sandwich.
Begin with Plate A on the very bottom, then plate C. ("C" is for "Cutting"- not embossing.)
See how my cutting edge of my die is up? It's always going to be up- for both cutting and embossing.
Next, lay your cardstock on top of the die.
Then, lay one of your B plates on top.
Now, run it through your Cuttlebug. It's okay if it makes a crackle kind of sound. That's normal.
When you remove the B plate, this is what you'll see.
If you just want to cut, pop it out of the die and you are done. But if you want to emboss, continue one with this next step.
Remove the excess paper from the outside of the die but leave the cut piece inside the die. Switch the bottom plate from C to B and place the die with the cut piece still inside on top of plate B. Make sure it's still facing up.
Next, lay the tan embossing mat over your die.
Then, place your other plate B on top.
I add one piece of chipboard on top. You can try a few pieces of cardstock if you don't have chipboard but the chipboard works great! And no wasted cardstock.
Now, run it through your Cuttlebug. Then, pop it out of the die and it will look like this.
This picture looks pink because I shot it in the window and it cast a pinkish glow but I wanted you to see the detail so I left it darker.
Now, for something fun and new. (Again, it's not new, just new to me. And maybe you too!)
Metallic Rub-on paste is headed to the Gina K. Designs online store by the truckload! It's going to retail for only $3.99 and you get seven metallic colors!
I love this stuff. It's super easy to use and eliminates the need to layer. It really makes that embossed edge *pop* too!
Just rub a little on your finger.
Then rub it on whatever you want to accent!
I know it looks silver here. That's because I forgot to take a picture of the gold one. Then I made a silver one and snapped this step using the silver paste. (Oops.
)Here is a close up of my finished project.
Card details:
Cardstock- Stampin' Up whisper white, K & Company mat stack
Ink- Stazon Black
Stamps- How Sweet it is
Other- Bling and Dazzle plastic tags, Brown Grosgrain ribbon, Gold cording, Metallic Rub-ons, Nestabilities dies, Cuttlebug, Paisley Cuttlebug Folder, Prismacolor pencils, Odorless mineral spirits, Stickles glitter glue, Fiskars Corner edger scissors, Gina K. Designs Butter brads- coming soon.
So, how about some Blog Candy?
What are ya' hungry for, Nestabilities? Metallic Rub-on paste?
BOTH?
Let's have a winner and a runner up on this one.
The grand prize is a pack of Nestabilities in whatever shape you want, (and the new JUMBO rectangles are on their way to Gina K. Designs right now!)
Our runner up will win their own set of Metallic Rub-on paste! Here's what you do- leave a comment here and on Tuesday morning, I will announce our winners!
Well, off to bed. The first day of the Milwaukee show is tomorrow and I want to try to look alive!
Enjoy!
Hugs,
Gina K.

Thank you for the "visual" step - by step. It always helps me to be able to "see" the instructions.
Reply to this
Oh, I love these nestabilities but haven't gotten any yet. I still have the sizzix and worry if it would work with my machine...I think this will be a nother "potato chip" item. Once you have 1 you gotta have them all LOL
Reply to this
Oh, how I would LOVE to own a set of those!!! I've had to sit on my hands so I wouldn't purchase them, YET! I just have to stay within my budget! (yeah, right!!!)
They have been on my wish list for quite some time now. Thank you so much for your generous offer, AND for the great tutorial!!! You are the best!
Reply to this
That was so much fun - now I HAVE to order some nesties to try it out! The pics are great!
Reply to this
I would love a set of nestabilities!!! Pick me!!!
Reply to this
Thanks for another great set of instructions! Now if you could show me how to use them with my Big Shot...LOL!
My question is when you emboss with the using the tan embossing mat, does it cut the mat?
Reply to this
What a GREAT visual tutorial! Thank you! I think I even have some rub-on paste (somewhere) that I got years ago and never used. I'll go on a mission to find it.

Great tutorial. I love the metallic paste...that will have to go on my list of things to buy!

Oh no you didn't!!! You didn't just show me, step-by-step, how to use Nesties in the cuttlebug. Oh me oh my, I am in BIG, HUGE trouble! I need these babies.... I need these babies BAD!! Thank you so much for the picture tutorial! I am *SO* visual, so this just totally sold me on the Nesties! Here is to hoping that I will win - if not, I think I'll be making a purchase quite soon!

I love all your card creations! I look forward everyday to getting an email from you. I especially love the cards made with nestabilities! I'd love to have all of them but unless I become independently wealthy I don't foresee that in my immediate future! So pick me to win one! I never win anything but there's always a first time for everything, right?

I love how you clarified that. The paste ads a great touch. I would really like some nestabilities!!

Reply to this
Thank you so much for the tutorial! I'm a visual learner also! I kept forgetting how to use them in the Cuttlebug and forgot to write down the sandwich recipe, so I bought a Wizard. So I'm in the market for some new Nestabilities! The metallic paste is a must have! I the card, the metallic paste makes it look very elegant!
Thanks for sharing!

GINA!!! This is exactly what I (don't) need to see! LOL I have been wanting the Nesties for quite some time, but convinced myself that they were too hard to use....and thus never ordered them.

Wow - you make this look so easy! And putting nesties with metallics rub-ons! How cool is that?? I've used the rub-ons for a long time but it never even crossed my mind to use them with the nesties! What a great idea. That's why I visit your blog - you provide great ideas! Hope I'm the lucky one for this candy (or at least the runner up!)!! Have fun in Milwaukee!
Reply to this
Thanks for the great tutorial! I have one set of Nesties on order (backorder actually) and can't wait to try this when they arrive. Maybe I'll have 2 sets to play with??? I have some of the metallic paste, but have never used it...now I know what to do with it...LOL!
Reply to this
Finally! I love this tutorial. I was getting frustrated with myself because I have used my Nestabilities countless times but ALWAYS have to refer to my "sandwiches." Now I have these photos in my head and can remember them! Thank-you, Thank-you! I have had the metallic pastes for a couple of years (actually found them not long after I started paper crafting) and I had forgotten how much I loved them! Thanks for reminding me about these neat and cost effect supplies and for this awesome opportunity!

Another visual learner, love the tutorials like this! Of course now I "NEED" those Nestabilities and the metallic rub ons...Thanks for the tutorial AND the blog candy!!!!!!

What a great tutorial, Gina, and I love that you showed how you store your Nesties! I've been needing to figure that one out, and now I don't have to! lol I can't wait to get my hands on the new jumbo rectangle Nesties, and that Metallic Rub-on 'polish' looks awesome! Thanks for offering such sa-weeet blog candy!!
Reply to this
WOW, nestabilities and metalic rubon paste? You are just too generous! And here is how out of the loop I have been, I didn't even know they had anew size of nesties coming out...gasp! Thanks for the tip on storing them, maybe I can use my clear hinged tins too!
Reply to this
Thank you Gina for FINALLY showing me how the Nestabilities work, along side with the Cuttlebug system. I've constantly read about how people use them, but have never see the *sandwich* and the details as to how you can cut and then emboss ~ really cool.
So now when I'm eating Kraft dinner for the rest of the month, (due to lack of funds for groceries hahah) I can blame you right? <*wink*> 'Cause I'll just have to get some of those Nestabilities...hehehehe
Thanks again Gina and have a great time at the Stamp fair

I must live under a rock because I have never seen or heard of the nestabilities, can't even spell it, but they are really cool I would love to have a set to go with my new Cuttlebug that I got for my birthday.

Thank You! Thank You! I'm saying it twice because I learned 2 things here.
First a great way to store my Nesties and again for showing me with PHOTOS how to cut and emboss with them and the cuttlebug!
You would not believe how many plates I have broken trying to figure this out!!!
Yes the crack is a bit unnerving during the cutting process but to hear the crack sound again during the emboss is not a good thing!!

What a great give-a-way!! Does saying pick me pick me work?

OH! I want them all - and this would be the perfect start to my collection! Pick me! Pick me!!

Wow! Thank you so much for sharing your creative work! I have some Nestabilities, but have never even bothered trying to emboss, b/c I didn't own the tan embossing mat YET! With your tutorial, I'll be SOOOOO ready to emboss when I get it! Thank you for another great tutorial!

Hi Gina K
Thank you ever so much for this tutorial.
I have read so much on overseas blogs about Nestabilities that I wanted to buy some and at long last I have found a store in Western Australia who will order them in from the US so I have put an order in for 1 set as I was hoping I could use them in my cuttlebug (I had read one can) I now know that I can for sure and I just cannot wait to get my order.
I just think they are awesome and one can create so many different things with them, I just love reading blogs to find out what people are doing, I think I look at too many blogs and don't get enough SB, Carding making etc done for myself but being on limited funds I find I cannot afford to go to classes any more and this is one way of learning.
It will take me awhile to purchase more but I at least I know I am buying something useful. I am just so pleased that you did this tutorial as I would have had no idea as to what to do with the tan mat etc and Queensland is a long way from Western Australia to get personal help.
Just once again thanks for sharing your expertise I am just so grateful to all the bloggers who are willing to share their knowledge so willingly and for free. It would be like a fairy tale come true to win some Nestabilities etc.
Many thanks.
Kendell, Qld Australia
P.S.
I love the way you have stored them in the tins thanks for this information also, are they special tins etc?

I really thought that with all of the punches I have I could (dare I say it?) LIVE without the Nestabilities. . .I've resisted and resisted, but now I can see I'm going to have to try and find a way in my budget to get some! Love the tin storage, love the tutorial, love the rubbed "pop" you gave it with the shimmer. . . You are A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!

Well that was awesome!!! very informative...I now know what nestabilities are and the best way to store them.

Ooh, good idea on the chipboard! I was using a few pieces of scrap cardstock between my A and B plates when I was embossing. The chipboard looks like a much better idea! I think I'll go cut some to match the size of my plates.

Thank you so much Gina for doing the tutorial. I have a couple of sets of the nestabilities but haven't used them yet. I am a visual person as well, and this tutorial was fantastic. Now I will go and give it a try. I love the metallic rub-on too!! Would love to win the blog candy - pick me.

Wow! I have never heard of the Metallic Rub on paste. I do love how it makes those embossed edges pop. I have, however, heard of the nestabilites and love the one set I have!

Gina! This was an awesome tutorial! I don't have any of these yet, but I have been wanting to get my hands on them for a while. The Metalic paste stuff is really neat, I've never seen that before!
Thanks for the chance at some amazing prizes!

Another detailed and making it so easy to understand tutorial! Thank you, Gina for all the time and effort you take to make these fabulous tutorials!

Thank you so much for this tutorial. Like all the others, this one is wonderful. I really am a visual person, I have to see things in order to really grasp them, so this was like a God send to me. I have all of these printed out and in a binder so I can start using all these techniques.
Thank you again and also for the opportunity to win some great blog candy.

Thanks so much, Gina! Especially for the tip on putting one piece of chipboard on the very top...NOW I know why my embossing never looks as good as yours! You're awesome!

This card and tutorial are both great.
Thanks for sharing how you coloured the edges of the stamped image - I must give it a try.
Please put my name in the draw to win either one of those awesome goodies.

Thanks Gina so much for this tutorial. I have got a set, & have be hesitant to use them as I didn't want to ruin my cuttlebug as I did think many of the sandwich explanations were confusing. This gives me much more confidence. And love the storage..a great idea of course! Julia

Hi Gina, You are an angel! I've had the cuttlebug and one set of nesties since Christmas but as I wasn't sure what to do with them I haven't even taken them out of the packet yet (I know *shame on me*) but you've given me the confidence to give it a go. Thanks so much. Love the storage idea. Take care, lots of love, Denise in the UK

Love the tutorial, Gina! You always do an awesome job!!! I loved taking he class with Jessica on how to use them. I would love a chance at some more Nestabilities to add to the collection. Those pastes look like fun too.

Your tutorial makes using the nestabilities so much less intimidating. I love your storage for them. The metallic rub on paste looks fun to use.

Gina - You ROCK! Seriously, woman, what would I do without you? I have the nestabilities, I have the cuttlebug. So, how come mine don't look like everyone elses? And how come mine are embossed when I don't want them to be? I wish it wasn't so late, so I could go try this RIGHT NOW. Thanks for the tutorial, thanks for the awesome blog candy opportunity, thanks for being you!

Great tutorial. Thanks Gina. I only have a few of the Nesties and I can't ever get them to emboss right so now I'll try your method. Love the metallic paste too. Gotta get me some!

Ohhhh the mat is used for the embossing! Huh.......again you are a genius. I can't wait to try the nesties...and now the awesome metallic paste-such an enabler!

First of all, thanks for the great tutorial on the nestabilities. I am patiently waiting to save enough money to buy my first set. Also, thanks for showing me how to use the metallic rub-ons that I have sitting here that were given to me and I didn't know what to do with them...now I know thanks to you, Gina.

O.K., I'm really in trouble here! First, thank you for the awesome tutorial. It makes so much sense when I "see it." It's just like having you here showing me step-by-step. I'm saving up for the nestabilities. BUT, I already own that set of metallic rub-ons and need to dust them off and start using them! Here's me keeping my fingers crossed for the nestabilities give away.

Thanks for the instructions! I always have to check my recipe to make sure I am doing it right!! And, I have those metallic pastes....never used them cuz i didn't know what to do with them!! Thanks for the tip!!!!

Wow what a fantastic tutorial. I have been looking into buying these as they look great. Hopefully this may give me a chance to try before i buy. I would dearly love to buy them all!

Gina,
AWESOME tutorial! I've always had a hard time with the nestabilities in my cuttlebug too. Just so you know, I have to borrow my MOM's nestabilities when I want to use them. Because I don't have any! Pick me!!! Luv and Hugs!!

Great step by step tut, I love the nesties and metallic rub-ons. The rub-ons also look good rubbed over some of the cuttlebug embossing folders, my 4 year old loved using them for his Christmas cards.
Great giveaway as always thanks for the opportunity.

Your tutorial made all the difference to me- I am like you- I need to see it. I have put off ordering the Nesties because I just didn't see how it could work with my Cuttlebug and didn't want to purchase ANOTHER cutting system. THANKS a million! Love your blog!

Great tutorial! I am a newbie and this has helped me see (literally) what the nestabilites really are.
Love to come here to learn, soon I will be brave enuf to buy....

That was a great tutorial, Gina! i have a Sizzix machine and no Cuttlebug but I hear that there is a sandwich I can make for Nestabilities on the Sizzix, too. I hope to try soon! And the Metallic Rub-on paste is right up my alley for fun and style! Ooooh! If I don't win, I'll probably have to come on over and do some more shopping! Have fun today! I know you will!

Wow! This is awesome! I didn't know I needed a cuttlebug (call me unknowing). Now I see that I do. And I've heard of nestabilities but had no idea what they were or what they could do. The Metallic Rub On Paste looks fantastic. I can see a ton of possibilities for it! And I love the visuals. I am definitely a "visual" person. I do believe I could do this!

Dear Gina, Thank you for the easy tutorial, I was always confused if the die would cut through the tan matt when you emboss. I just couldn't really visualize it. This is just so easy! Thank you

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness!! The chance to win Nestabilities!! I can't believe it!! I have a few sets so far but I want them all. And those metallic rub-ons look great too. One question: can you tell me what kind of tins those are that you store your Nestabilities in and where to get them. Are they from your store? Thanks so much! Mary Pickett

Thanks so much for the tutorial! I have been wanting the Nestibilities for a long time and I REALLY loved your card! I just love the texture that embossing provides.
Reply to this
Boy, can I identify! I had a set of Nestabilities forever before I got up the nerve to use them; afraid to "hurt" my Cuttlebug. Sure enough, I broke 3 B plate and cracked a few more. My C plate got badly etched, too. I am going to have to try the chipboard; your embossing is nice and crisp. Love your idea for storage; it's pure genius! Thanks so much for sharing! Can't wait to buy some storage tins. And I love the suggestion of highlighting the edges with the metallic rub on paste! It looks so cool!

Thank you for the tutorial. I have been wanting to buy these but wanted to be sure how to use them in my bug first. I asked a the local store and none of the employees had any idea how to use them at all! Stores need to know how to use products they carry! Sorry to be negative!

Wow! You make it look so easy! I was clueless on how to use nesties-now I will have to get some. The rubons look fabulous too. Thanks for helping us who have to see things in order to do them!

Aaaaah-it's too much for my heart to handle, lol!
OMGoodness-after seeing your (as usual...AWESOME) tutorial I had finally decided that I will take the plunge and buy myself some nesties-but WHICH ONE??? A girl's gotta $tart $low, ya know!
THEN, I get to the end of your post and you're giving blog candy?!?!?
Seriously, I have shyed away from buying them b/c I am afraid of using non-CB stuff in my CB...I don't want to be breaking plates, or my machine! I know, I know...paranoid. But your tutorial is EXACTLY what I needed at JUST the right time-thank you SOOO much!! Enjoy the weekend!

I have always admired these Nestabilities and the look they allow you to acheive (with layering) ... Now that you show how to emboss with them I love them even more!!
I must also get some of these metallic rub-ons when they come in ... seems like another Gina K product.

That metallic paste is super cool. I think I may have some of that in regular colors somewhere in my stamp room. I bought it years ago and never quite knew what to do with it. I guess I'll dust it off and try it. Love those Nestie's. I don't have a CB, I have a Big Kick, so I may have to find out how to use them with that and get some. TFS your amazing talent with us and teaching us how to use all of the stuff we NEED to have in our collection.

Thank you for the tutorial on how to use the plates in the Cuttlebug. I don't have them (yet), but have been looking for information on them. Couldn't figure out how to use them (never mind using them in the Cuttlebug). I didn't realize that you could cut and emboss from the same design - I thought they were two different plates. SOLD!
Reply to this
Thanks so much for the picture tutorial! It took me forever to figure it out, and I still can't get the embossing to work quite as much as I'd like. I've also tried putting 2 rubber mats in the sandwich, but I think I'll try your chipboard idea! Thanks again! Can't wait to see what the jumbo frames will do!

WOW! Thanks for the instructions! I guess a Cuttlebug has to go on my wish list now!

Wow Gina, what a superb tutorial!!! I don't have any Nesties yet, sigh, but I am yearning for them! Your visual was so great! Those rub ons are cool too, will be shopping SOON!

I went back and looked at the tutorial and have a question. Does the Tan Embossing Mat come with the Nestabilities set or is it an after-market purchase. Thanks again.

A great tutorial. I received the cuttlebug as a gift at Christmas but now I will be able to use it.Thanks for the opportunity to win.Have a great day.
Reply to this
Wow! Your tutorials are always so perfect! I am going to have to try out the chipboard shim! I love that idea.
I always place my dies face down over my stamped image (opposite of how everyone recommends) so that I can center it perfectly. It's also great to do it this way to create a 'window' in the exact place where you want it. It doesn't hurt the plates and seems to make cutting a lot easier for me.
I would LOVE to have some of the new dies! And... that metallic paste looks awesome! (and so reasonable!)
Thanks, Gina!!
Reply to this
Awesome tutorial - as a visual learner myself, that is so helpful! Now to get my hands on some Nestabilities...
And that metallic paste is so cool - it's new to me too!
Reply to this
Oh Gina, you rock! I purchased my first set of nesties- squares, and would love to add more to the collection. I love the way you have sored yours too. Off to Staples I go! I have some of that paste and it is great stuff. I have used it with the embossing paste, and love the results. Let me know if you want a sample of a card with it!
Have a great weekend at the show!

Thanks for telling us what you store in those boxes. Mine are still on the sheet they come in. Now I gotta go find those tins and magnetic paper. Oh wait, I have plenty of fridge sticker advertisements. May be those will work.
I have my sandwich instructions taped behind the wall where my cuttlebug sits. hee hee.
I would love some rectangles please

Good Luck in Milwaukee not that you will need any! The tutorial on how to use the nestabillities has certainly got me wanting some. It is so much better when you know what you are doing. Do you think that you could give a tutorial on how to use them with a sizzix? Thanks for all you share!!

You are a lifesaver!! I have a class tomorrow and I've been struggling with my Nestibilites die and how to get it to emboss. I too read and rered the directions about how to die cut and I must have stopped reading because my embossing steps were on another sheet. I just thought that the embossing happed when you die cut. Your pictures are worth a thousand words!!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now I'm off to recut the piece for my class! Oh! Oh! And I can't wait for the metalic inks!!

Oh I love, love, love the rub on paste colors! If you have white core cardstock, run it through the cuttlebug with an embossing plate and then sand the top for a distressed look. Add a bit of the paste to really highlight the sanded areas. It takes to the white sanded areas super fabulously!

Thank you for doing this tutorial. I have been wanting a set of Nesties also, but without seeing them (only the results) in real use it is hard.

What a great prize!! Thanks so much for the visual on the Nestabilities! I never thought to use the chip board instead of scraps of cardstock.
I do mine slightly different though.... I layer mine the opposite way so that I can see where I am playing my template over an already stamped image... So A plate, B plate, cardstock, nestability cutting side down, C plate.
Reply to this
Gina - what a great tutorial. Of course, I'd been able to stay *away* from the Nesties 'cuz I knew I wouldn't be able to figure out how to use them... but now...!!!!!! Sigh. Another thing for my wish list! LOL!!

I love all of your step-by-step tutorials with pictures! They certainly help visual oriented people. I am really intrigued by the paste - wonder if they make it in colors as well as metallics? Anyway, just wanted to say thanks for all of the information and new products you keep adding!

Love the new metallics!! A cuttlebug is next on my list!! I love seeing the great ideas and the great variety of things youcan do! Good luck this weekend at the show...wish it was closer to me!

Thanks for the visual tutorial. I too need to see in order to get it right. Love your card. I hope I'm a winner as I don't own any nestabilities but do have the cuttlebug.

Great card to get those rub ons out of the drawer and onto the stamping table! Love it when "old" things are renewed, especially when you held on to them "just in case" hehe. Thanks for the great projects.

Thank you for the great tutorial.The metallic paste adds a nice touch to the card. Wish you the best this weekend.

Another give away --- you are just too cool! I don't have a cuttlebug, but if I win the nestabilities it will be a good reason to buy one! LOL As if I need a reason to buy scrapbook supplies!

WOW! More great blog candy! Great tutorial - um now can you do one for the big kick? Love the metalic stuff - looks like eye shadow! I would love to win!

Your tutorials are "da bomb!" I'm so glad you did this for us. I've had a little trouble with my nestie/cuttlebug creations, too, and this will come in handy.
Thanks again for all the information you share with us, and for the great blog candy!

Love using the Nestabilities w/the Cuttlebug. Great tutorial by the way. I am itching for more Nestabilities, never used the rub-on paste but would like to try.
Reply to this
Thanks for helping us to understand how to use our Nesties with the Bug. Also, The metallic rub-ons are new to me.
Reply to this
My new Cuttlebug is supposed to arrive today, and I'm very excited! Thanks for the great tutorial! I would absolutely LOVE to win a Nestabilities set! I have a couple sets of the metallic rub-on pastes, but could always use more!
Thanks for the chance!
Reply to this
You have the coolest tutorials! I am lovin' the Metallic Paste- I must be part cat since I like shiny stuff! Thanks for the awsome goodies, Gina!
Reply to this
Gina,This tutorial is fantastic. I already got the hang of the bug with the nesties, but I have never heard of the metallic rub on paste!!!!!!!!! So cool!!!!!!! Also I love the way you are storing the nestabilites. I may have to rethink the storage cause I am not so much liking the cd cases. They break to easily and the metal would hold up tons better. Thanks for sharing!
Reply to this
WOW! Rub-on paste - gotta have that. Thanks so much for the tutorial. I like having pictures-it makes it much easier.
Reply to this
Thanks, Gina, for the tutorial - pictures definitely help! I can't wait to try the metallic paste!
Reply to this
Very helpful! I just purchased my Cuttlebug and have been looking at the Nestabilities but was unsure how it all went together. Now I know how to use it and have a great idea on how to add more character with the metallics. Thank you!

Funny how things come back....I used to use the metalic rub-ons when I did ceramics. Peggy
Reply to this
Awesome tutorial! You really helped with the embossing part! I can never get it to look as good as yours - now maybe I can! TFS!
Reply to this
Thanks so much for the tutorial! I'm just in the process of buying a Cuttlebug, especially to use with Nestabilities so this tutorial was exactly what I was looking for!
And that is so generous of you on the blog candy!I'd love to win either, although Nestabilities would be my preference. Not expecting, but it would be nice.
Reply to this
Wish I'd had this tutorial when I first got my Nestabilities. This will be really helpful to people who are new to them. You might just want to mention that depending on your 'Bug, you may need to use extra shims to get a decent emboss.
Love the metallic rub-on paste -- that's a real winner!

How crazy is that! I always just run my nesties back through and get a little bit of embossing. I never realized you I could get so much more definition out of it - woo hooo!!!!!

I have been wanting these forever. I am so glad you showed how to use them with the Cuttlebug.
Reply to this
Gina, I love how you store your nesties! I've got mine in cd cases (with the magnetic sheets) but I think your way is more secure and may take less space.
I'm feeling very proud because I had something before you did. Like what are the chances of that! lol Those metallic rub ons are so great. - N

Well that certainly makes it look easy. I have the Bigshot and when I get some Nesties, I'm sure that will help me adapt to my machine. It is so much easier to understand when pictures are with it. Though I love the looks of the embossed cuts alone, that paste is amazing at making it really stand out.

Love your project! The tutorial was super - even though I have a sizzix machine! My suggestion is to print out the sandwich recipe and post it, inside the tin, on the opposite side of your nestie! That way when you take the nestie your recipe is always with you! Again, thanks for sharing your talent with us!

Gina, great tutorial! This is what I love about your blog, you always remember what it is like to be a new stamper and try to answer the questions "newbies" have. I had my nesties for like 4 months before I actually used them and I still haven't used them to emboss. I am inspired! Thanks Gina!
Reply to this
Thank-you for the tutorial. I'm a visual person and don't really "get" things until I see them "done"
The metallic rub stuff looks really cool. Too bad one can't reach through the computer screen and play with your goodies!
Have a wonderful weekend!

How totally generous of your to offer such a great giveaway prize! I craft with my daughter and we could use this together and hopefully not crack our cuttlebug plates as so many people are mentioning in this blog! I have not seen Nestabilities in our Craft Shops here in Queensland Australia before. Would love to win both the nesties and the paste please, I'm sure they would be light enough to post overseas. Many thanks for this competition.I hope I win this fabulous prize. regards Erika

I bought a cuttlebug just so I could use them with Nestabilities, but I haven't acquired any yet. What a great give away adn thanks for the tutorial. I'm saving it for future reference.

What a terrific tutorial. I do think the Cuttlebug is the easiest way to go with the Nestabilities. They are an awesome tool!!!!! I had not seen the metallic paste before. Really like the subtle edge it gives to the shape and edges.

Gina thanks for the wonderful tutorial on the cuttlebug. I didn't know it would do that. I have been using it wrong all this time. I have been using the B where the c should have been and using the dies upside down. UGGH Don't feel so bad now do you? Would love the chance to win some nestables. Thanks a million and one.

Great tutorial...not the way I was taught, but it makes more sense as there are fewer steps. Love my cuttlebug and nestabilities. Can't wait until our local store gets their new order in (it has been a long time coming as the nestabilities seem to be a very popular item)...I want to add to my supply. Also love your storage solution. Hope my Canadian address does not eliminate me from chances to win in your contest. Enjoy your trade show.

Hi Gina ~

In fact, I don't know how I did it, but my C plate shattered...I appreciate you mentioning about the crack noise...mine does this, and I've been afraid to crank away after my C plate shattered all over the place!!! Chipboard works great as a substitute until I find another plate!!! Anyhow, thanks for the tutorial!! It was easy to follow!

Thank you!!! I've had my nestabilities for a while and use them to cut all the time... but after breaking 3 "B" plates I gave up on embosss....Now I see what I was doing wrong...
So - this girl could use some new nestabilities!!!
Reply to this
I so do not think I will win as there are like 850 entries. Nestabilities rock. I did learn through someones blog that you can use self healing mats in place of the B plates and you do not have to worry about breaking them anymore. I do not use my B plates at all. But 2 self healing mats I cut to size. Good luck to all and Congrats to the winner if its not me.
Thanks Gina for the tutorials.

I just found your blog and read the entire site from 2006 to this one over the last 2 days. It wore me out, but I learned alot and love your line of stamps. You have really grown and so has your business. It is great the way you share snippits of your family with us as well.
You are special. Have you thought of doing a line of stamps for women? You could even use it for one of your fund raisers.
Glad I found your site. dp

I cannot get over how generous you are. I have been realling wanting some nestabilities but have been putting off getting them. And now that I have seen the metallic rub-ons I might have to go and get both soon. Thanks for sharing the tutorial. Just reading the directions can be very confusing. I look forward to trying them out, one way or another.
Reply to this
I am going to try your sandwich first thing in the morning! I think I might be able to remember this sandwich!

This is what I needed. I could never get how to emboss with these and now I know how. Thanks for taking the time to share this and your wonderful creations.

Hi Gina, Thanks for that tutorial, I have been using my nestabilities in my cuttlebug but was doing it wrong. I am a visual person as well so seeing it done step by step the way you did it with the photos made it very clear and easy to understand. Thanks again Anna.
Reply to this
What a great tutorial! I had figured out how to cut with the cuttlebug, but could not figure out for the life of me how to emboss afterwards. The chipboard is the trick
Reply to this
What an easy tutorial to follow. This makes it all so much clearer for cutting and embossing with my nestbilities in my cuttlebug. Big hugs and thanks
Reply to this
Gina, I looooove my Nesties! I don't have the "tan mat", suppose I'll have to get it and also some chipboard! I've only done cutting with my Nesties, (which works great) not embossing yet - didn't figure I had the right "tools".

Thank-you so much for the tutorial. I've only tried my nestabilities once and haven't tried the embossing yet. I was worried about aligning for embossing, but now from your tutorial I see how easy it is! Whoo-hoo!

Wow. What an awsome prize. I love your card and how you used the rub ons on the edges. I bet in real life it is even more gorgeous.
I love to visit your blog every day to see what wonderful things you have created.

Like all those above me, I'm a visual learner... and boy was I doing it completely wrong...No wonder the embossing never looked quite right, so I'd do it 3-4 times never quite happy Off to go try it... and thanks so much for this tutorial... it was very helpful

Hi Gina! Awesome tutorial. I have a cuttlebug and I have been drooling over the nestabilities for awhile. I have to win them this will be the first blog candy I win. Thank you for the chance you ROCK!
Reply to this
Finally, someone else who is a visual learner! I have tried to figure this out a couple of times, reading and re-reading the steps and directions. I just got my first set of dies, and with your visual directions, I can now create the real thing! The bonus for me is that I never thought about using a rub on metalic to bring out the depths. From now on, I will have to start highlighting these babies. Thanks so much for "showing me the light"!

Gina - love browsing through your site. It's great that you share all of these wonderful tutorials, tips and tricks. I've the many things done with the Nestabilities set. I bought a Cb last year and have not use it much, just for embossing so far. Thanks for offering a set of Nestabilities for blog candy. I've never used metallic paste before and it does add some texture to the card. Thanks for always sharing - it's almost like having you close by!

Thanks for the great tutorial Gina! I just picked up a Cuttlebug yesterday (I know... So behind the times...) to use with Nestabilities. Now I just have to start collecting the Nestabilities! This would be a great way to start my collection!
Thanks also for the ideas for the metallic rubons. I've had some for a couple of years, but haven't really used them because I didn't have any good ideas. This gives me a starting point!

I just bought a Cuttlebug only because I have learned about Nestabilities and seen what you can do with them. (Thank you for the much-needed tutorial!) - - Now it looks like I need some metallic rub-ons too! Do they come in other colors also?
Thanks again.

Great tutorial! The pictures really help to see how the sandwich goes together. Seeing what you did with the metallic rub-ons makes me remember that I think I have some in a drawer somewhere. Time to dig them out!

Great treats - blog candy giveaway and a great tutorial! Fun! I need to get a "bug" so I can try the tutorial - it really helped. The card was sooo cute too. Too bad I didn't have all the supplies as a friend just had a baby the other day. Of course, it wouldn't look nearly as good as yours. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!

Thank you so very much for the generous blog candy offer. I wish, very much, that I was closer to your store....I'm in NE and that's a little out of my daily commute!?!?! Also want to thank you for your tutorials. Always very detailed and easy to understand!!! Thanks again!

Thank you for your step by step visual tutorial. It is fantastic for a very visual learner like me. Also thank you for the embossing step with the tan embossing mat. I think it would have taken me years to figure that out. I had visions of placing everything in the Cuttlebug all at once from what I've read.I also now know what the mat looks like, so I can look for it in the store. I got my cuttlebug for Christmas and have been buying the embossing folders when they are on sale. Just last week I found a store that sells the nesties so I am going to buy one a payday. I so love my cuttlebug and the great things it can do, though I am limited by the accessories I own so far. I would so love to win the nesties or the metallic rubs. I hear about them all the time from some of my cyber stamping friends.

Gina- thanks so much for the great tutorial. I always have to keep looking up the "sandwich" but I think if I study this for just a little while, I'll remember it now.
Thanks also for the great blog candy! Very generous of you. Of course, I am hoping for the nesties- like everyone else, I am sure, lol!
