I never would have thought you could emboss brass and they look great. One thing to think of in the future - your hand keeps blocking the camera view.

Thanks much for the comments. This is my first video, something I have been meaning to do for some time so I will work on improving the camera location.

I think the Vintaj blanks are 24 ga. As they are brass they are soft enough for the papercrafting machines. I have used my Cuttlebug for the last year or more to make blanks with no ill effects. However, I guess its a situation where you need to use caution as I have heard of people having problems. Just do 3 or 4 at a time max maybe. We sell them. Look in Findings and Components, then Vintaj, then Altered Blanks.

I really like your video but I wanted to know if you can use 24 guage blanks? One video I looked at said you can't go any thicker than 26 ga. for the cuttlebug. But it's really hard to find blanks that are 26 ga without the raw edges. Can you tell me where is a good place to get blanks?
