lannoe....Yes the Cuttlekids will fit in the Cuttlebug.

Cuttlebug will not fit in the Cuttlekids machine though.

Just stack your plates up till you get the proper thickness to go through the machine without forcing it. It's a little bit of trial and error to see what works best for you depending on the thickness of the material you want to cut. You'll learn more about what fits doing it that way.

Lori, like she said... the Cuttlekids dies will work in Cuttlebugs, but it kind of depends on your Cuttlebug machine as to the "stack" you need to use or if you need to add a little piece of cardstock or cardboard to make it thicker.

All the Cuttlebugs seem to have a little different pressure when you roll the plates through. Mine is pretty tight, and I just use the same plates that I use for the regular Cuttlebug dies, and it cuts the Cuttlekids dies just fine with nothing extra added.

You can use the cuttlebug dies in the cuttlekidz. You just need to use two of the thinner boards instead of thin and thick one. You can also use the cuttlekidz to cut foam pieces. I work at Michaels so I played with the stores before I bought!
