Cricut Cuttlebug - Version 2 Die Cutting & Embossing Machine

Product Information

The marker pen hardly showed up black on black, and because the acrylic is opaque rather than clear, I couldn’t place my drawing behind and trace through, so I wasn’t sure how accurate I was being, and I was working in reverse too. The **Cuttlebug **comes in both Mint and Blue Colour Themes as well as Two Bundles and several Accessories, Dies and Embossing Folders. 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 did a series of rough proofs to reveal areas that needed further etching, then printed a small edition of 15. The exhibition features work from all over the World, so here’s a little piece of Wales to add to the mix.

This will guarantee a quality embossed image once you have processed the folder through the machine. The ratings/reviews displayed here may not be representative of every listing on this page, or of every review for these listings. I have no etching press, so I improvised by using my little Cuttlebug die cutting machine, made by Provo Craft. Continuous Embossing: Starting in the summer of 2012, Cricut released continuous embossing folders which allow you to emboss longer materials. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.

It's just disappointing that I couldn't use it on my crafting cause it does not fit with my empress machine but it's not the seller's fault.

One A2 insert will hold eight A2 embossing folders or dies; one 2" x 2" insert will hold 24 2" x 2" dies or 2" x 2. The roller is easy to use, simply put your die cut or embossing folder in the opening and use the handle to turn and move the die cut or embossing folder forward till it comes completely out the other side. 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.

To use the Cuttlebug, you place it on a flat surface and simultaneously open both sides so they are parallel with your table. The B Plates - Cutting, A Plate - Spacer, and C Plate - Adapter (sold separately) are different thicknesses so that you can mix and match. You can also review the Cuttlebug Sandwich Guide by Personal Diecutting to find out how to position the Plates and Mats with dies and embossing folders from different brands. I recently got a Cricut Cuttlebug Mint, a portable, hand-cranked, die cutting and embossing machine.

Please look at our glossary where most are caught, or why not a bit of history on how scrapbooking has occurred ? The different spacer plates also make the Cricut Cuttlebug machine compatible with most leading folders and dies — so you can save money and use the dies and folders you already own. As we continue to come out with new products, sometimes we have to make hard decisions about existing product lines that we can no longer support.

I wanted to be able to emboss the paper and cutouts I use to make my handmade cards and other craft projects. Some of the technologies we use are necessary for critical functions like security and site integrity, account authentication, security and privacy preferences, internal site usage and maintenance data, and to make the site work correctly for browsing and transactions.

It works just fine for printing etchings and relief prints, however it is limited by its size, printing to a maximum of approximately 14 x 18 cms. I don’t really see this as a problem because I’ve been able to find a lot of compatible dies on Scrapbook. You can see many of the projects I made with the Explore Air in this roundup of answers to the 12 most frequently asked questions about Cricut. For a limited period each machine will be supplied with an exclusive set of four Celebration Stamps Embossing folders and a 2x2 Square Stamp Frame Die! This is Leftovers VI, and instead of my usual linocut, I created this drypoint etching of a farmer ploughing a field in the Welsh countryside.
