Cricut Chipboard cuts for Embossing

I've been playing with my two favorite bugs, my cricut and my cuttlebug. I cut some chipboard shapes and used them to emboss. I really want the new Owl Cuttlebug folder, but guess what, I made my own so now I can buy something else instead. Here is a picture of the card I made. The owl and flourish are cuts from Storybook Cart. I then took pictures of the process using the back of a cereal box , since this more readily available and there is not guessing as to the thickness . The paper for embossing used is Stampin Up Whisper White, I suggest you use a smooth paper . This is the recipe from bottom up.
