Lots of you ask about using other company dies in your Cuttlebug machines...I made a quick video to show you how to use...Provo Crafts Cuttlebug Dies and embossing folders, Sizzix Sizzlets, Sizzix Bigz & Original dies, and Spellbinders Nestabilities.
Enjoy
this was exactly what I needed. Thank you for making the video.
ReplyDeleteChristina,
ReplyDeleteThank you SO much for this video. You have answered so many of my questions.
I have the cuddlebug, and was considering getting the big shot because I wasn't sure if they were compatible.
One question tho, I have seen videos of people cutting fabric with the big shot, and I tried it in my cuddlebug and it didn't work. Would I need the Bigshot for this?
Stacy
Thanks so much! I know most people probably have done this but I'm a newbie and really appreciate the basics!!!
ReplyDeleteNow I'm interested in Stacy's comment about cutting fabric!!! :)
Thank you for posting this. It answered a couple of questions that I had.
ReplyDeleteI do have another question though. I have a few Sizzix Simple Impressions Embossing folders. Can you give me some help on how to use them with my Cuttlebug?
Thank you.
This really helped a lot. I do have another question. When I use my embossing folder I sometimes get a crease through it. This happens usually when I need to emboss a large area and have to run it through twice to fit. How do you avoid the crease? Any help would so be appreciated!! Thanks
ReplyDeleteThank you for putting the video together. I did not know the big dies from Sizzix could be used and now I am so stoked! Thank you again!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much this is so hellpfull I need it so bad you have no idea, but I still want to know what do you do with the espellbinders embossing sheet I but a few but I can use them no in my Cuttlebug ider the big shot express help me please

I am a cricut junkie and never saw the need to purchase dies, you have just given me a reason. Another great video would be how to use fiskars texture plates in your cuttlebug, it works great and what I really love about it is the texture plates are much larger than the cuttlebug folders. Thanks once again for a great video. Traci
ReplyDeleteYour videos are soooooo helpful. I have been using my toys and supplies much more since I found you!
ReplyDeleteI was given many brass dry embossing stencils. Can they be used in the Cuttlebug?
Does it matter in which order the sandwich is built? A plate being the exception. I was told C for cut, B for emBoss and to never cut on the C plate and that helps me with using Spellbinders.
I'm off to B&N which is next door to M's where I wasn't planning to shop. Hmmmmm - those Fiskar's texture plates sound good, too. Thanks fellow enabelers!
Great video with some awesome info! I wasn't sure you could use the big sizzix in the cuttlebug, so was afraid to purchase them. Now I will! Thanks!! :)
ReplyDeleteChristina thank you very for sharing those tips, I can not wait to give it them a try. Have a wonderful weekend.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for posting this. I love your information videos almost as much as showing Cricut cards, books etc. Seems like there are so many of them doing that, but you offer so much more. Sure do appreciate all your help. (:
ReplyDeleteThank you Christina. I've wanted to use Sixxix dies but they are so fat I was afraid I'd break my Cuttlebug. Now all I need to buy is the rubber mat and I can create away!

Thanks for demonstrating this. I know a lot of us needed this info.

Aw, man I am so bummed. My sizzix broke and I got rid of all my original dies and sizzlets because I thought I couldn't use them!! Oh well, I have a cricut and tons of carts so I'm probably ok!
ReplyDeleteThanks Christina, I haven't used my Bigz dies. I only have 2, but I've never used them! I've just been lazy. So now I know the sandwhich. Thanks again
ReplyDeleteThanks so much I have several printed formulas for the sandwich, but seeing it is so much better.
ReplyDeleteWe really appreciate all you do
Thanks Cristina! That was so helpful.
ReplyDeleteAwesome tutorial Christina!!! Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Christina. My cuttlebug B plate has cutting marks from the dies on it. Is this normal or is their a way to prevent this?
ReplyDeletePlease do more Cuttlebug videos. This was fantastic!
Thanks Christina for this great information I too have some Sizzix simple impressions and was wondering how to use them in the Cuttlebug
ReplyDeleteAwesome Christina!!
ReplyDeleteI just started getting into the spell binders and could not quite get the sandwich tecnique as the package directions are terrible! The chipboard is the trick I have a big shot thank you sooo much!!!
I love you and your videos keep up the great work!!!
So thankful,
-christine ((hugs))
Hi Christina,
ReplyDeleteCould you do a video on partial embossing with the Cuttlebug? I am trying to use an embossing folder with a cardboard donut on top and I just can't seem to get the sandwich right. The demo I saw used the Big Shot and I have tried everything in my Cuttlebug; but am not getting satisfactory results. I keep getting creases in the unembossed paper around the "wreath" area and it does not look good. Thanks for this tutorial and I look forward to seeing more!

Wahoo you are the greatest. Found your "older" too. Thanks a ton.
ReplyDeleteGreat video - I knew about all of those but have been wondering about the Quick Cutz?

Thanks for this video, Christina. I was confused about some of the dies and this was great!
ReplyDeleteThank you for the Video!! Very helpful.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have all these tools and not knowing how to use them or being intimidated by them is a big hurdle. You have taught me to play again. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteWhat perfect timing! I just got the 3D flowers die and the Tim Holtz leaves die yesterday in the mail!!! Can't wait to go play now. All sandwich stacks are listed on the cricut.com message board under cuttlebug. Thanks again, Sheri :)
ReplyDeleteGreat video! Thank you for the information. I had questions and this answered it for me.
