    I'm trying to imagine this project out before Christmas when apparently Santa is bringing me a Cricut.  :) 

    Could you use the cricut stamping material to create an acrylic stamp to use in the cuttlebug embossing folder and then just use a brayer to ink it as well as emboss it, thus letterpress?  

    Has anyone tried that before?

    I think about these things because I am cheap.  :)

    One step even more towards being cheap, I saw a YouTube video where instead of having the cuttlebug machine, the person actually used a simple rolling pin to apply the pressure...

    Thoughts?

    I thought about doing the same thing.  Of course, I haven't taken my Circuit out of its box yet and I've had it for months.  It seems like it should work.

    It is definitely possible.  I remember reading a tutorial about how to do it using plates that the author had ordered from Boxcar Press - I don't remember where, but some googling should turn it up.  She had rigged up a backing out of cork or something similar.

    Not sure if that will work, I haven't used Cricut before BUT I know there is a new letterpress component available, unfortunately it has gotten pretty poor working reviews :(

    In theory, it sounds like it should work!!! I bought my cricut at Wal-mart a few days ago, but I can't have it til Christmas cause it's a present from my grandmother.
