I've had my Cuttlebug for about 1 1/2 years and I still love it. It's easy to use and the variety of embossing folders and diecuts is great. I use mine for both scrapbook pages and cards and I love the versatility. It adds so much and only takes a minute. I especially love my alpha diecuts because I can always cut whatever letters I need and never run out! Both of my granddaughters' names have "y" and "a" in it and when I buy sheets of alphas, I often run out of those letters--but never when I use my Cuttlebug. The cuttlebug is WAY cheaper than an electronic diecutter and it can use diecuts from most other diecut machines. It's a great investment for any papercrafter!

So I have a Cricut baby bug already and love to use that for diecuts. I kept reading rave reviews about the Cuttlebug and wondered if I needed it... the answer is YES!!! I use my Cuttebug for embossing - cardstock and envelopes for cards, even diecut letters. The possibilities are endless! You get everything you need when your order a Cuttlebug. Just add a few of the embossing folders (Swiss Dots and Dvine Swirls are my two favorites, but I'd love to own them all!) and you're ready to go. Very easy to use and comes with a user's manual that shows even shows you how to use dies and folders from other brands like Sizzix! Definitely a must have whether you're a scrapbooker or a cardmaker!

I have had the Cricut for about a year. I like it because I don't have to buy/store lots of dies. But when I tried dry embossing on some of my Christmas cards this year, I gave up quickly because it was just too labor intensive. But I love the way the dry embossing looks. So I checked around and decided to get the Cuttlebug. I LOVE IT! I still don't plan on using it for cutting dies too much, but the embossing folders are wonderful! The images are so crisp and perfect, and it's SO easy to use. Not to mention, quiet and I don't have to worry about taking up another outlet. I recommend it to anyone who wants to do any dry embossing.

I originally wanted a Revolution but found a great deal on a Cuttlebug and after a little research I purchased the Cuttlebug. I can use any die I've come across in this little machine. The plates take on a lot of use and I've not had to replace them yet. It is very portable, the handle is nice to have on top. The "suction" feet make it grip your surface and assist in the cutting process.
When I came across a great deal on a Revolution about a year later, I finally got my long desired sleek black tool with its pretty carry case. Wow! I was so excited. Guess what...I use it for 4x8 dies but do everything else on my Cuttlebug.
Just can't get enough of that little green machine.

I have tried out a lot of die cutters. This is the one I own. It takes all dies. It is amazing at embossing. I love how it fold up and takes little space to store. There is great customer service with this product. I also feel that the Cuttlerbug has a great price. When I am asked what machine to buy...I always say Cuttlerbug.

I love my cuttlebug! At first i was a little hesitant to purchase it, cause I didn't know how much it would get used since I have a cricut. I have to say that I am so glad that I went ahead and got one. The embossing is great, and most dies are affordable. The alphas are a little pricey, but no more so than what I pay for a cricut cartridge. I also love that I can use any die in this machine. One of the best investments that I have made.

I was so excited when they came out with the cuttlebug. The cost is very reasonable even for scrappers with a lower budget like me. It is extremely versatile with other brands of dies. The cuts come out clean and no having to tear the paper to get it to come off the die. I love that I can emboss with it as well and they have so many folders to chose from. I love that it is light weight and easy to store. If I want to take it with me I just pick it up and go.

I agree with the others that recommend this product. It is a reasonably price die cut machine and I like that it takes other company's dies so you have more flexibility. This was my first die cutter and I still use it to cut small letters or special embellishments. All the different plates that you need to use with it is a little cumbersome and I haven't found that it suctions to the table as well as advertised, but still a good product for small embellies.

I just love this little green die cutter. It's great for all the projects you'll try to tackle. The embossing folders are so great...minimum effort with maximum results! Plus it's manual ( for all those times you want to scrap during power outages ) and safe for kids to use. Great little machine all around...i'd definitly recommend it to anyone. Thank you provo craft!

I love the look of dry embossing, but have never been a fan of doing it by hand. I LOVE my Cuttlebug! I got it for the embossing, but I love being able to do die cutting as well. I also like that you can use other brands of dies. My projects are so much more fun to do now and look better too since using my Cuttlebug.
