I just got the Cuttlebug today, and wow do i love it, works like a charm, it embosses beautifully, as well as does clean cuts of when you cut the papers out with the regular dies thru the machine, i even used a piece of thin felt and the shape turned out just PERFECT!! Now i can't wait to to try a piece of thin fun foam thru it and make my own thickers embellishments!!, i would highly recommend this machine to anyone thinking of purchasing the cuttlebug!!
