  • I am in love with my bug and use it all the time. I agree with others that there are loads of tips on utube and it's great to see and learn. Another way to get ideas is to blog hop and look at what others do with theres. I have a blog at www.clairemackaness.blogspot.com and from there you can click through lots of links to find other bloggers for inspiration.

    Any probs just shout, I'd be happy to help

    I find that the dies are a bit expensive for them ..i bought 2 new embossing folders yesterday and used 1 tonight ..problem is what do i do with it now ..if i put toppers or anything on it will look odd any tips?

    i use the embossed paper as a lumpy background and then put things on top have used reindeer and penguin die cuts on top of some really cheap and nasty paper that I bought and was going to chuck out.

    If you have alphabet die cuts you can also run them through inside an embossing folder to make them look lumpy

    Very technical :rotfl:

  • I had some die cuts that were flat blue and boring so tried it - could really do with the tiny dotes embossing folder now - any excuse :p

    I have 3 cuttlebug and 1 sizzix alphabet sets :o as well as several rubber stamp alphabets - think I might be obsessed ;)

  • you can use sizzix dies with the cuttlebug but they may need an adapter

    Sorry Marg, I completely forgot Id posted on here and have only just checked back! Did you get sorted with your ink pads? I use 'ink it up' pigment ink pads, im not 100% sure if there the right thing to use as I just tend to wing it with most of my crafting and hope for the best! But they seem to do the trick.
