Making cards - Ideas for beginners (part 4)

elysia2003

Sorry, Jellybaby. I think you are more likely to have one or the other and not both! Therefore we are unable to give an unbiased opinion as to which one is better.

Have you read up on both of them? I have my cuttlebug but the embossing folders and dies are limited - there aren't many. I like the fact that I can use others on it.

It's a lot of money to lay out. Is there anyway you could try one to test which one you'd like best. Is there a craft shop near you? I only have a Hobbycraft near me, so I had to take the chance. In the end the only reason I went for the cuttlebug was because it was offered on easi-pay on QVC.

Sorry I can't really be of any use!

Jellybaby, at some point over the last 4-5 years I've used the Bug (bought one for my grandaughters) owned a Big Shot (passed that on to my other grandaughters) and a Wizard. They all are basically the same thing, a die cutting/embossing machine. If you make your 'sandwich' in the correct way for your machine, you shouldn't have a problem. I've used all manner of dies and embossing folders on all of the machines. One will take your fancy but the Bug does seem to be the most popular on this forum.
