need help please with my new cuttlebug! never mind figured it out!

[mommy2mrb]

I am following the directions..

opened machine
stacked spacer A, then Cutting pad B, then paper inside the embossing folder, then Cutting pad B again....when I try to roll it through the machine it only goes a tiny bit then the crank won't turn anymore...afraid to force it...

any help will be appreciated!


EDIT - figured it out....need to put it in at a slight angle....off to emboss, will post my first project in a bit!

it is hard to turn - except the "B" plates to crack(they get the design on them)

You have to give it a good crank the first few times. Mine was really hard to use at first but got a little easier over time.

Love the card Lisa It gets easier to crank the plates through as you use the machine.

Very cute! I love that embossing folder, I use it a lot for cupcake frosting. I cut the cupcake frosting with the cricut and then emboss with the swirls and cover them with glitter with just a hint of cinnamon mixed in. It looks pretty and smells yummy too!

I have some extra Disney cuttlebug folders that I am looking to get rid of. PM me is you are interested!
