Die-cutting machine?

[alien21xx]

OK, I just ordered a Cuttlebug today and probably arriving in 2 weeks time.

Please tell me it's good and works with other brand dies, specifically the Spellbinders Nestabilities! I'm a dork who should've done more research before taking the plunge to purchase. :blink:

I have one that my hubby bought me for Christmas last year, and yes it works with the Spellbinders dies. You need a special Spellbinders mat for getting the embossed look though. But for cutting, just read the instructions and you'll do fine!

Have fun! I use mine in cardmaking all the time and love it.

Thanks, Monique! I bought a couple nestabilities with mine for cardmaking too. I didn't know about the mat, probably need to look for it at the local craft store here, where it'll cost an arm and a leg.

I got my Spellbinders mat for embossing at my local craft store and you get 2 mats for about $8?

I have had the Cuttlebug for years and I can run just about anything through it. You will love it!

You'll love your little bug. You can google to look for the appropriate "sandwiches" for whatever type of dies / embossing folders you want to use. There's also a pad you can get at the hardware store - I think it's called plumber's gasket? Anyway it's a red pad that alot of people have used instead of the spellbinders pad if it's not easily accessible to ya. Have fun!
