tell me about the Cuttlebug

[disneyfan2]

I am a new Cricut owner but haven't played with it much. I did see alot of cute Disney dies for the Cuttlebug though. Is it similar to the Sizzix(which i personally did not like using)
But the Disney dies are soooo cute for the Cuttlebug..

 

[ddavis860]

I haven't seen them... going to check out provocraft now...

I love my Cuttlebug! It uses all the different dies...I can use my Sizzix, sizzlets, and love the embossing folders! It's really easy to use too...just rolls the stuff through. I still use my sizzix though...

How much is a cuttlebug? I saw that the folders are fairly cheap, but how much is the machine gonna run me? I'd love one for my card making

 

[disneyfan2]

is it much easier to use then Sizzix, I felt i need to be muscle girl to use it.lol
DO they have alpha font with Cuttlebug, if so, do you do individual letters like the sizzix.

I too can't see to find the price for Cuttlebug.

I love my Cuttlebug! I bought mine at JoAnn's when they had it half off- I don't remember the exact price but I know it was in the $40-50 range. It is really easy to use- in fact my DD (7) loves to use it too.

I got mine from Joanns.com as well with a 50 percent off coupon. I have a code for 40 % off.....when i got mine I also got free hsipping so it was well worth it. You can use all kinds of dies with it and I absolutely love it.......

 

[Faerie]

That's not bad... does Mike's take coupons on them or just Jo's? How about AC Moore? I love embossing so this would be great

 

[ddavis860]

I got mine on sale too. I went to Mike's and they denied my coupon (I had a few words with the manager the next time I was in the store...but I digress) So, I left Mike's and went to Joann's, ...SALE!!!! I didn't know, so I saved even more at Joann's. The Disney dies look like the ones that emboss and cut at the same time. I don't see them on any website though...anyone have a supplier?

If you can get it on sale it is SO worth it!

I got an email from JKCrafts with links to the new dies...

[disneyfan2]

wow i wish we had Joann;s in Canada. I can only go to Micheals and they don't allow the coupons on any cricut stuff

 

[ddavis860]

Well, that was what I was getting at Mike's...

BUT, when I spoke with the manager a few days later, he said that Cuttlebug isn't Cricut, and I should have been able to use a coupon. He wasn't happy that I took my business elsewhere either, and was going to get back to the people that turned me down...might be worth checking ....

 

[bobcat]

Well the disney dies just sold me on this! They are too cute!

 

[going2disney]

I've been contemplating one for sometime but now will definately be picking one up. With all the great new releases I think these will become more popular. Wonder how long until Mike's and J's won't except coupons on Cuttlebug merchandise.

 

[aroyer]

I just got my Joann's circular in the mail and they had 50% coupons!! Makes the Cuttlebug much easier on the wallet.

 

[StitchIsOurHero]

Yep, I'm going to have to have a Cuttlebug. If for nothing else than for the Pooh dies! They are adorable! Now, if only Cricut would do a Pooh cartridge!

I know that on the jkcrafts site, it says "coming soon". Was there a release date mentioned anywhere on these?

 

[missesdisney]

I can't seem to find a definitive answer on this although there are a lot of maybe posts....I have sizzix which I still use for certain things (have a cricut too now) and don't want to add another machine for sure but love some of those new cuttlebug dies coming out. Can I use those dies on my regular old pull down the handle sizzix? If so do I need touse the adapter like with the sizzlets?

SusieStone, where did you get the 40% off coupon. I want a Cuttlebug and I am trying to find the best deal. I want to get one before my DH changes his mind.
Thanks

 

[Faerie]

Do you have a Joann's? If you do there is a coupon here that you can use - it's good through August 10th. (it's good on Cricut carts too)

Michael's puts their coupons in the paper (locally it's bi-weekly so this Sunday should be a coupon paper)

AC Moore e-mails them if you're on their mailing list.

Faerie, the closet store to me is in Houston. I was going to get one at Hobby Lobby, but when I went in they told me it was made by Cricket. So, they wouldn't accept my 40% off coupon. I called last night and they said I could use the coupon. Today the answer is no, so I'm mad and now I don't want to buy one from them. Instead I am driving about 100 miles to get one in Houston. So, thanks for the coupon. Good trip for me and my DD anyway.
