:confused: Never ever owned a die cut machine and have been checking them all out was going to buy the side kick ...but then I saw the cuttlebug which is not released in Australia till next month .........alll on pre-order. as I know nothing about die cutters at all of any sort, Is this going to be a good investment??
all help greatfully accepted Thankyou:
I never thought I would get a die cutter in a million years-until I saw the Cuttlebug! I love the fact that it can emboss too! I love embossing and the dies and folders are inexpensive unlike other systems. I say go for it!!
I NEVER thought I'd get a die cut machine but...... Texasjodylynn sent me a rak with some embossed samples in it and i was sold! Love mine! I bought it to myself for Christmas with a 50% off coupon at Michael's. Don't know if you have something like that available to you in Australia but I do love mine. Very affordable, easy to use and my daughter loves it too.
If you're wondering whether to get a side kick or wait and get the cuttlebug, WAIT, lol!! The Cuttlebug is WAY WAY WAY better than the sidekick!! For one thing, it does embossing, not just cut shapes.
I LOVE my cuttlebug! I never imagined embossing an entire background could take a few seconds! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE it!!! I bought mine with the 50% coupon at Michaels, only paid $40...just bought 2 more embossing folders today. They are so inexpensive compared to a lot of stamping/scrapbooking stuff. Go for it!!!

I didn't think I would need or want one, and since I can't demo it, thought it wasn't worth the money. I finally did break down and buy one - AND I USE IT EVERYDAY...hehehe
WOW ..........such quick responses no we cant get it on half price coupons down under .........I found one place that will do a machine plus an alphabet a 2x2 die a 3x3 die and 2 embossing folders for $320 Aus(approx $250US) which I thought as pretty reasonable .... butI had read a blog on the provo web page and there was a few negative responses ........Thats why I thought I would toss it around in here ......so far everyone seems really happy with it lezzels
