Does anyone who has bought a cricut also...

[aprince&princess]

own either a sizzix or quickutz tool?

Do you still use your other tools or are they collecting dust?

I have a Quickutz along with my beloved Cricut. Honestly, my Quickutz was collecting dust long before I got my bug. Partly because I wasn't scrapping much and party because I am a bit of a wimp and had a hard time cutting!! I do still love the dies that I have with my Quickutz though so I may get DH to cut some things for me here and there.

I know that cutting the letters with quickutz and sizzix can be time consuming. But I love the look of the cut out letters and how you can coordinate them with other papers used in a layout.

Since I have four quickutz alphabets and more than that for sizzix, but I keep thinking it would be nice to have a cricut!

I haven't had my Cricut for that long but I also have a Sizzix. I won't be getting rid of it any time soon because I know I will still use it for file folders and slide mounts, and things like that. I only have one alpha set for the Sizzix and I don't think I'll be using it again. Because it was the only one I had I used it so much I kind of hate the font now. I may sell that and some of my other shape dies on Ebay at some point, when I get the motivation.

I have a Cricut & Sizzix BigKick and Sidekick. I use all of them. Sometimes on the same swap.

I don't have a cricut, but I do have a wishblade. I had a sizzix and a few dies (no alphas). I rarely used it so I put it in my garage sale last weekend- it was one of the first things to go.

My Sizzix is totally a dust collector now that I have my Cricut. I can cut a word with my Cricut in a few seconds instead of 10 minutes using the Sizzix. My Cricut is the best thing I've bought in a long time . I'm going to make my mothers day cards today with my little bug.

since I've had the cricut, my sidekick has been collecting dust, so I listed it on ebay. It has quite a few bids, I was surprised anyone would still want one!

I have had a Sizzix for quite awhile and also had a Sidekick. I recently got a Cricut when they were $139. I kept my Sizzix because it cuts other materials such as chipboard, foam, felt, etc. But I got rid of my Sidekick. I have 2 Sizzlit alphabets and I can use them in my Sizzix with the converter so I decided that I really no longer needed the Sidekick. It went to my LSS garage sale.

I have a sizzix, cricut, and a cuttlebug. I use my Cricut more now but I still use my sizzix and the cuttlebug is great for easy and quick embossing. The Cricut is fastly to us but I still use my other machines. But then again I only have 2 carts currently for my cricut and I have a dozen sizzix dies and several cuttlebug dies.

I have the big sizzix... and I still use it regularly...
I have the sizzlet.... and I use it often too...
Nothing collects dust at my house... with 5 kids; school projects; scrapbooking and swapping homemade scrap items... We (I) still use everything!!!

I'm happy with my Xyron, but I still wonder if I should get a sidekick or something, just for the occasional shape, like tags or folder shapes (I wouldn't bother with alphas)

 

[LurrrvtheDuck]

I have a QK and Cricut. I must admit I haven't used my Cricut for any projects yet, but I love the idea of it and really can't wait to start using it. I have a ton of alphas and dies for the QK and use them often. I only have 2 cartridges for the Cricut, but am still kinda intimidated by it. I don't plan on getting rid of my QK though (I invested way to much money into it and I know I wouldn't make it back selling them).

 

[ddavis860]

I love my bug, and use it all the time for cards and swaps. I also still use my sizzix for some things, grass, paper dolls, slide mounts, leaves, haven't used it for alpha since I got the bug...

My quickutz was never a favorite, and I'm thinking of selling on ebay... I got it from QVC with a special font that I have rarely never used.

I havent played a lot with my Cricut (got a great deal on it when it first came out... before Michaels said you couldnt use the 50% coupon on it) and will keep my sizzix because its a different font basically. Plus... if we are ever without power again during a hurricane... I need to do something to keep me busy (when I am not studying/reading).

 

[SusieStone]

The only thing I don't like about my bug is how much paper it uses and I haven't learned to position things just right to conserve things. I do love the speed of it.

I have been using all my dies - sizzix and QK more since I have the Bigkick. I love just rolling things right on through.

I don't see myself getting rid of any dies or alphabets but probably the sidekick and regular sizzix machine.
