You can use card i've used fairly thick card so experiment with different thicknesses. The trick is to grease the card using candle or a tumble dryer sheet(my favourite) You should not rub too hard in case you tear the card. Better 2 or 3 strokes lightly than 1 hard stroke. Have fun and enjoy using the board I have several and think they are great. Mary

I tried the dryer sheet, but my embossing tool was still rough when going thru the board tracks.  I used a used dryer sheet - should it have been a new one?

i always use new dryer sheets, and this seems to work well,
