I love the embossing diffusers! I can't stress enough how much I LOVE them-
They TRIPLE the amount of embossing folders you own.
How? Because now, instead of just embossing some with one design, you can emboss all but a circle, oval or wide oval, of the the design. OR you can only emboss a circle, oval or wide oval- get it?
When I first saw them, I was confused by them- I didn't understand how they would work. Don't think about it- just buy them. Order them NOW. You won't regret it!

Used in this card: Card I made with the new Embossing Diffusers
Love these new embossing diffusers, what a wonderful addition to my embossing folder collection. Easy to use, with fabulous results.
An easy answer to a challenge I have wrestled with for a while. Why didn't I think of this. A must have for card makers who emboss.
Good quality product. Still learning to use this but see the possibilities it creates for card making and embellishments for scrapbook layouts.
I used the diffuser to make a birthday-graduation card. It was easy to use and did what it was suppose to. They recommend taping down the diffuser when using the oval or circle cut out and you mus do this for it to work right. If you don't tape down, it will move (ask me how I know).
Check out my card I made at http://darlenemcg.blogspot.com/ using the diffuser (oval cut out)
I watched Tim Holtz' video on scrapbook.com's classes. Ordered the diffusers since they looked neat. They are a game changer for using with embossing folders. You can use the whole piece of just the cut out and they come out great everytime. I have the spellbinders platinum cutter, it was a bit of a challenge to get the "sandwich" just right but once i got it they came out great. I have colored them, i have cut them out, there are so many possibilities. These are a must have if you make cards or scrapbook.
I like these diffuser they are great for cards and even tags. I was confuse like some others how to use them. But thank god for youtube I found some videos on how to use these. I tried them with my embossing folders and was impress with it after using. You can keep a certain area from being in embossing to put words or a drawing in the area that hasn't being in emboss. These help you come up with even more creative ideas for your projects. Check them out and see if it would work for your project.
I have seen ways you can make these but they had mixed reviews. If Tim Holtz has his name on it you can bet they are quality!
I have been wanting some of these for card making. This works great! I'm sure they will be used for scrapbook pages too!
I have been looking for this product for some time to vary my embossing technique. It was perfect for my needs.

In reading the other question, are you saying that you just put the diffuser over the paper in the embossing folder and the oval will not be embossed?

That is correct. Use the embossing folder as normal and then place the diffuser on top just like you would your other plate needed to emboss. If you wish to just have a circle embossed place that where you would like it to be embossed and only that will be embossed. Where you have pressure is where there will be embossing. Hope this was helpful to you. Happy scrapbooking!

the diffuser is used in place of one of the cutting pads, NEVER use diffuser with more than one cutting pad. If using just the diffuser inset shape apply a piece of double stick tape to the inset shape and adhere to the embossing folder in desired location.
Will this work with the Big Shot Plus?

Can this diffuser be used in a Cuttle Bug?

Yes, this diffuser can definitely be used in a Cuttlebug. The diffuser is just another plate that you use with your machine and embossing folder. The portion where there is a "hole" will not be embossed.
