Cricut Cuttlebug - Version 2 Die Cutting & Embossing Machine

Product Information

Cricut is committed to making amazing products that expand the creative possibilities for all of our members. You place your paper inside the folder, close it, place it between the 2 B plates, put those on top of the A plate, and push it all into the machine.

Just make sure to keep your user manual to refer to the plate combinations you'll need to die-cut and emboss. To enable personalised advertising (like interest-based ads), we may share your data with our marketing and advertising partners using cookies and other technologies.One thing about the Cuttlebug worth highlighting is that it features a collapsible handle and is very compact. I tried to find a way to use a larger piece of paper and send it through the machine more than once, lining up the edges, but it won’t work with the design of the machine. With the dies, embossing folder, Plates, and Mat that come in the box, you are ready to make your first project… sort of. This is the tool that I used to create marks on the surface of the acrylic; a set of compasses wrapped with masking tape to make it easier to hold.

Once the items have been dispatched through our service provider your item will take 1-2 working days to arrive. Cuttlebug loves the materials you love, freeing you to cut and emboss from a wide range of crafting materials. I am just learning printmaking (from the web in general and Belinda Del Pesco in particular) and made a press from and old pasta maker that had been collectiing dust.So I tried it, reading what I could of the instructions (which were not clear on how to arrange the paper, die and plates). The Cuttlebug surface area is 6” wide, but if you are using longer dies, you will also want to get the longer, 6” x 13” Plates or Mats. I wanted to be able to emboss the paper and cutouts I use to make my handmade cards and other craft projects. Do not hesitate to ask us if you are looking for products that are difficult to find, we have an extensive supplier network and may be able to help you!

The only Cricut machine designed to emboss, the Cricut Cuttlebug gives professional-looking results with clean, crisp cuts and deep, even embossing.It isn’t able to cut hundreds of materials and there is no Cricut Design Space to prompt you about what to do next. I relied on sideways lighting to see the marks I was making as it was really difficult to see what I was doing. The Cuttlebug storage binder is the storage solution for the Cuttlebug cutting dies and embossing folders.

I happened have a scrap piece of Gold Adhesive Foil left from my DIY Christmas Tree Decoration tutorial and a small notebook that I got for free at a conference with me, and that’s how the idea for the gratitude notebook was born. The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.Since I had never used a die cutting machine before, I was a bit confused by how to position the Plates, if the die needed to face up or down, etc. The larger folder is great for making background embossing and the smaller version is perfect for gift tags and also for embossing small messages.
