Cuttle bug (Die Cut)

2 Comments

Hi Everyone:

Since I can create almost anything I need in photoshop to create a lay out or card. I’ve never see the need to have the Cuttle bug.

It wasn’t until my friend Michele mentioned all the things she can do with it. Then it picked my interest.

I started investigating what I can do with and look for prices.

I have to tell you I’m very happy to have purchased it..

If you are on the fence and not sure what Die cut to buy. I truly recommend the Cuttlebug…

It embosses using folders from Provo craft  the way it works it can emboss only 6 inches wide and as long as you want all you have to do is to advance the paper in the folder and crank away..

I was able to emboss 6×12 easily no issues.

Understand this is not a CRICUIT, this machine does a lot of things the cricuit can’t.. and vice versa..this little machine does amazing things such as embossing and cutting using your existing dies from SIZZIX, the Revolution, Quickutz and I even got it to emboss using the Fiskars textured plates. The best thing is the folders are around $2.5-9.99… kewl eh?

HERE are some video’s on youtube to help you..

You can also use Spellbinders Nestabilities in the Cuttlebug as well..

Sharon created this wonderful card using the cuttlebug


so many uses :) this one using the Dvine embossing folder..


I came across this idea if you can’t get the Cuttlebug you can still use the folders by using a ROLLING pin like this.
