You need to create a windows phone 8 project using one of the following templates:

Then, when executing the application; the emulator will load up. You can even select what type of emulator to run at that specific execution!

Also, don't quote me on this, I believe that after installing the SDK, you can open the emulator without visual studio from the "All programs" menu in Windows 7 or looking for it with "Windows + Q" in windows 8.

If you get lost, take a look at this guide.
