Three ways to alter paper with a pasta machine

[twilightdiamondgirl]

What is the brand, model # or make of the pasta machine. I would love to get one. By the way great video, very helpful. Thx

@twilightdiamondgirl It's a Marcato Atlas150. It also says Reg. Design N. 1048536 (I don't know it that means anything?). Thanks for the nice comment :)

I tried it and it works beautifully..... The embossing is so easy to see, just remember to catch it and bend slightly forward. Plastic doesn't bend like the dough in a pasta machine. lol Thanks for the setting info.

@ginger0174 I'm glad it worked for you! :)

[ginger0174]

what pressure did you use on your pasta machine for embossing?

[narutopenguingirl]

@ginger0174 I believe it was a 2...at least that is what I left it on :) You can start there and if that doesn't work, you can fool around with shims and changing the pressure. Hope this helps, have fun! :)

I agree with iluvmysix, don't have to purchase a cuttlebug.. wow what a fantastic idea. I purchased 2 embossing folders from Joann's at a great price, now I can't wait to get them and try this. Thanks so much!!! Much more you can do with a pasta machine, make pasta too lol, and that's fun.

Very clever!! I have a pasta machine so now I can save my money and not buy a cuttlebug!  Yay!

[narutopenguingirl]

@iluvmysix Cool! I'm all for saving money...although I have a hard time saying no to new craft items! :) lol

oh great....something else I have to buy....lol I don't own a pasta machine---yet! I really like the last cut the best. This would be a great cut for an Easter basket--or any kind of gift bag or basket where you need paper grass (I guess that's what you would call it).  Thanks!!

Were did you get your pasta machine Please tell me Thanks.

[narutopenguingirl]

I don't know! :( It was a gift from my dad to my husband. I hi-jacked it :) I would assume anywhere that sells cooking items like pots and pans would probably carry it. You could also check at the craft stores. Sorry! :(

[al3xask8]

I know i did checked one craft store but i'll look for more Thanks so much though =]
