What is a cuttlebug?

[19stamper59]

The Cuttlebug is a die cut/embossing machine that is made by Provo Craft. You can use other dies (like Sizzix, etc.) in it, also. Log onto Provocraft.com to read all about it. It's a great little machine!

I was a little afraid of that, too. I actually made some 'chipboard' by gluing a couple of pieces of cereal box cardboard together and then gluing on some paper. That worked pretty well. Not as thick as regular chipboard, but it worked!

I too have made Faux chipboard from ANY type of box (granola bars, cereal) or the packaging from embellistments; I use mono-multi to adhere patterned paper then put it thru the cuttlebug; no waiting for it to dry; I have the slider dies and love them; I don't feel they need to be as thick as real chipboard to serve the purpose! I think they're a nice thickness with the light-weight cardboard and patterned paper or cardstock; my advice is to crank the handle slowly; it if offers too much resisitance, stop! A little resistance is fine and expected.

I can't wait to play with my Cuttlebug. I got mine with the 40% off coupon at Michael's. I guess they may not allow you to use coupons on Cuttlebug products for long. BOO HOO. I guess I will have to hurrry and buy all I want now.
