Cuttlebug or SYI?

ishadow · Cuttlebug or SYI?

I have a group buy for provocraft..my budget can only stretch for about $50...enough for the product and shipping. I'm thinking the cuttle at w/s would be about 40-45? the regular carts are 45 so either would work....

go for the cuttlebug...honest.....

you will not be sorry...though I love SYI and it's fun to have, you can use the cuttlebug for those cards you make now...

and, don't you have an embossing folder for the cuttlebug...(or you will)....

GrammyScraps

Frankly, ladies....I'm not even sure what the Cuttlebug is

I love my Cuttlebug too. It can cut using almost any dies on the market.

Lynn- Cuttlebug is a press type machine for using diecuts and embossing. It's like a quickutz or sizziz. I'd use it for the embossing since i have the cricut.

Thanks, Karen........

I voted for the cart with the thought that we'll soon be able to emboss with cricut...

vellumx

but.....with the cuttlebug, you can also cut felt, material, acrylis..etc...Yes, I know, Cricut is going to have the extended blade, but those embossing folders are really cool...and..they aren't expensive. Some are 4 in a pack!...

Even though I have a Cricut, I would still need (want and need) the cuttlebug!! I have the big shot..same difference..

Karen, here's a suggestion...

bring your paper and a mat...you can cut all the cards you want and keep them in a box...then..when you are ready to use them, you can emboss whatever you want with you cuttlebug...

Lisa, I know it seems redundant, but if you know someone who could use the sizzix (or sell it), you would love how the cuttlebug has a bigger cutting (embossing) area.

I got the big shot for that reason. After I got it, then I started hearing about the cuttlebug. I'm happy with what I have because it takes all the same size as the cuttlebug, but if something every happened to the big shot, I would do the cuttlebug....

Just been reading about the Cuttlebug...gonna start saving. Joann has it on sale right now but not in the budget.

Thanks everyone (it's a draw anyway).... after some serious thinking and looking at my budget- I'm going to have to wait. I suspect at worse they will wait until the Mike's exclusive are opened up and order again then in October or so. I can wait till then. I've done with out it just fine. :)

my budget is being SUCKED dry with this prima buy.... I think they'll call me a big butt (_____)_____) for the $ I spent.

and that's a good thing.

Karen, make those plans to come over...you did read my suggestion, right??

ishadow

yes. :)
