I still use the cuttle bug because I am sick so often and can't craft it doesn't make sense to buy a better brand. Thank you for your video. It helped me to feel better about my choice.
This is by far the very best video I have seen on the Cuttlebug.
It’s very clear and concise. No rambling. You stay on subject. I like the way you show each piece of the sandwich slowly and carefully.
Thank you so much!
I still love and use my cuttlebug daily.
I’ve started to watch several Cuttlebug tutorials. Yours is the only one I’ve watched all the way through. Clear and informative. Thanks!
What a wonderful compliment! Thank you so much. I'm learning as I go along. I'm so happy that it was helpful for you.
that was wonderful. I am learning with you as I was just gifted with a Cuttlebug today. Thank-you.I guess I will be up all night.
Awesome tutorial!! I bought a good used Cuttlebug from a friend last year for $35. It had lots of extras with it. But I haven't been able to use it yet because of health issues. I have watched tons of videos about the Cuttlebug but this was by far the best and easiest to understand. Feeling much more confident on the sandwich placement now. Thank you!! Can't wait to try it out hopefully soon!!
I love it. The only tip I can offer is to turn your machine to where you are turning your handle straight away from you, not having to turn the handle in an awkward position. I do realize that you are probably doing this because of the way you need to position the machine for your camera. But if not, maybe my one little tip can help you even a small percent of how much your tutorial has helped this newbie. I have arthritis and am always conscious about how things can be made to move easier. Blessings!
Great tip Linda! Thanks so much. I definitely need pointers. I'm new to the Cuttlebug and die cutting altogether. I'll give that a try and see if that's a more comfortable position.
Thanks for the great instructions. I could not understand the manual. I had some cracking. Yet I tried some paper towel that embossed beautiful. Great for junk journaling!
I just bought a cuttlebug and I appreciate your tutorial. TFS.
Thanks so much Eileen. I hope it's helpful for you. :-)
I could see this being great for traveller’s notebooks/art journals
Why, oh why did the makers of the Cuttlebug quit making this fantastic little machine?? I have had mine for many years and have made hundreds of projects and it is still going strong.
Thank you so much for sharing. I have a new Cuttlebug and excited to get started.
Thanks so much Kelley. I'm having so much fun with mine and still learning something new every day. We can learn together. :-)
Just got my machine and the instructions were awful. After searching for some videos and not finding any helpful ones I came across yours. THANK YOU for instructions that are GREAT & VERY HELPFUL. I can now get started on the cards I've been longing to make.
Thank you so much Kathleen. I'm so happy it was helpful for you. Happy Cuttlebuggin" ;-)
To cut the bell die out first without the embossing mat: sandwich like this A plate, gray embossing mat, B plate, cardstock, die, B plate Pass it through the Cuttlebug.
Then, to emboss, move the embossing mat so it is on the B plate under the cardstock. A, B, embossing mat, cardstock, die with die cut still in it, then last B plate. Pass it through again. It will then be Cut, and Embossed.
Love the video. You can also use a toothbrush to remove the little pieces on the die and it also helps detach it. Much quicker :)
Great tip Audrey! Thank you so much. I'm still learning, having so much fun! :-D
Oh wow I never thought of a toothbrush Thankyou so much for tip 👍💖🤗
This is the best tutorial that I've found!! Thanks so much!!
Hi Craftie! I just wanted to thank you for your Cuttlebug video. I've been searching for quite awhile to find a easy peasy 123 video that would teach me how to cut & emboss! You did it!!! I'm so excited to see what i can create!! Thank you so much!!!😃
You're very welcome! I'm so glad it was helpful for you. :-D
Thank you for sharing, I just got my Cuttle Bug and feel a lot better on how to use it.
I'm happy to share what I've learned so far. I'm glad it was helpful for you. I'm still new to the Cuttlebug too. Have fun! I've sure enjoyed using mine.
Thank you so much. Very, very helpful. I really appreciate that you don’t wave you hands everywhere.
I just bought a 2nd hand machine without instructions. This tutorial is excellent. I can't wait to give it a go ! 😃
Wonderful! Have fun!
Thank you. I just got my Cutter Bug and the instructions were terrible. Now that I have watched your video, I know exactly what to do.I had also purchased several dies and was anxious to get started. I discovered that the machine did not come with the C plate which seems essential to use. Not too happy about that. I just ordered the plate on Amazon and have to wait 2 days for it to come.
I agree, the C plate should come with it.. even if it's costs a few dollars more since you end up having to buy it anyway. I can't imagine anyone would buy this machine for embossing only.
Wow! This is such an informative tutorial! VERY nice work Craftie! Hugs to you!
+OneVeryHappyBird Thank you so much! :-) {{{Hugs}}}
You all probably dont care at all but does any of you know a way to log back into an instagram account??
I was stupid lost the password. I would love any tricks you can give me!
@Krew Cesar Instablaster =)
@Cade Jose I really appreciate your reply. I found the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take quite some time so I will reply here later with my results.
@Cade Jose It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. Im so happy:D
Thank you so much you saved my account :D
I’ve had my Cuttlebug for years. One thing I don’t like about it is that it rocks around and the suction cups don’t really keep it stable. I know I want to get one of the larger, flatter machines as they seem to be sturdier. And I recently saw that Cuttlebugs are now discontinued.
I just received my Cuttlebug and learned so much from your video! Thanks for sharing!!
That's great Cheri! I'm so glad you found it helpful. Happy crafting and happy Cuttlebuggin'! ;-)
😍 happy to find this video❣️ Thank you I ordered eggs 😆
Very informative tutorial!! Thank you 🤗
Thanks so much! :-)
I really enjoyed your video, I do want to share that I have a Cricut Expression machine also I bought a few years ago and have used it ALOT...But now that I have the Cuttlebug I go to it 1st. unless I want bigger cut outs, the Cuttlebug is so much quicker AND easier to use, I don't have to put a cartridges in and push buttons to cut something quick. But I also really like having both machines I make lots of big letters and figures ECT. with having both I can do so much more, the cuttlebug is great for cards, scrapbooking, journalists etc. it is quick to use like I said I love having both.
I’ve really been wanting a Cricket Expression or Explore 🤗
Very nice informative video. To help not break paper , during embossing need to spray card stock with little water.
+Nata Tse 🤗Thank you so much for the tip! I will definitely give that a try!! 😁
I used you method to emboss and it worked great.
That's great Barbara! I'm so happy it worked for you. :-)
Very nice.....lots of cool ideas
+murphy1384 Thanks so much.
That's so cool I don't know if I'll get one but maybe later ones I get my craft space set up in its new area but thar is super cool tho thx for sharing.
I've heard that you can spray the cardstock with some water to prevent cracking the cardstock
Yes! Just a light mist. 👌🏻
Thank-you
Hi, thanks for sharing a great video. I have a cuttlebug but have never used it but thanks to you doing this video, I will be using it now. So happy, Have a great day. ☺☺
Oh that's great Denise! We can learn together. Happy crafting!! :-)
Thank you for showing because i Just bought a Cuuterbug
You're very welcome Marie! We can learn together. :-D
Just learning to use my cuttlebug so I will follow your learning curve. Thanks for shringn
❤ I still use mine and I’m sad not to be able to get more cuttlebug specific tips, specifically using the metal boards to keep the dies in place. My metal board is sooo old and pilling, not sure what to do, I can’t find a cuttlebug replacement one, not sure if the generic will work.
This was a great video. For some reason even the makers of the Cuttlebug don't even put out informative videos like this. I didn't really know how to use the machine until watching this and another RUclipsr's video. How do they expect to sell this if they are so vague about what it does? Thanks for this!
You’re very welcome. I’m so glad it was helpful. You’re right, I learned from other RUclipsrs as well.
Craftie I just got a Cricut for Xmas and was wondering if I should get the Cuttlebug too. Do you have both and have you thought about contacting the company and maybe partnering with them to do demonstration videos? Your video really has convinced me I need both machines. 🙂
I only have the Cuttlebug. It’s my very first die cutting machine ever but I am really loving it! I love the compact size. I’ve never tried a Cricut. You’ll have to let me know. As for the idea for demonstration videos, oh my! That would be wonderful. But I wouldn’t have a clue where to even begin on trying to do something like that. Is that pretty easy to get into?? I don’t know anything about it.
Craftie, there's a link on the Cricut website at the bottom under the Company heading about becoming a partner if you have a following on social media like RUclips, etc. I'm not sure what the requirements or perks are, but good luck if you decide to do it. 👍🏾
Thank you so much Kimberly! I will see what I can find out. :-D
Thanks
If u flip the plate that is bowed and cut into the curve it will flatten out again. Every time happens just flip it.
Great tip Judy! :-D Thanks so much for sharing. I will certainly give that a try.
Consumer Crafts has embossing folders for sale often. You can find them pretty cheap.
Thanks so much!! :-D I will definitely check them out!
I just bought a Cuttlebug....I always use the rubber mat when cutting, that's what the booklet says to do although it still doesn't cut through everything....it's frustrating. Someone told me to get another plate, I didn't get the C plate with mine. Should I get one ?
Yes, I definitely recommend the C plate. You'll get such a crisp cut if you have your A and B plates on bottom, then your paper and die with the C plate on top. You can get the plates pretty cheap on Amazon. Here's a link: amzn.to/2jxZ3iy
I just got a Cuttlebug. I don’t make cards but I do a lot of 3D paper crafts. My questions:
how do Cuttlebug owners determine the type of embossing folders they need?
Are there variety packs of embossing folders?
What is a good place to order them from that is a good price?
What weight paper did you use that cracks ?
COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I have one badly bowed b plate. What can if I go flatten it? I have used it less than ten times! I enjoyed watching your videe! Would love to see more scuttlebutt ideas! Bless you, Grace
Try flipping it upside-down next time you use it. After you do that a few times, alternate it each time you use it and it should help to keep it flat.
I am really enjoying this vid. Thank you...Its relaxing. Hon I had no one to teach me and am having to relearn. Thanks for the memory aids too. Thanks you for explaining the c plate too...I can't wait to see what you do next w the cuttlebug. God bless you!! Smiles Grace
Someone soaked the bowed plate in hot water in cookie tray with a heavy pot on it. They also cleaned out any paper stuck in the plate with a brush after soaking.
Good video, thanks for covering so much!! My big question is this: No one ever mentions the weight of paper needed..........everyone says "heavier". Heavier than what?? I have used 65 lb and have noticed that a lot of paper packs fail to mark their paper with the weight!! It is confusing to me...can you help? TFS!!
Great question. Thanks for bringing it up. You are so right that this is not usually addressed. In fact, at the time of making this video, I wasn't sure of this myself. I'm learning right along with you. I have since learned that the most commonly used "heavy" cardstock is 110 lb. Here is a link to some 110 lb. that I have been using from Walmart. It's inexpensive and it cuts and embosses beautifully:

Ahhh! Okay that sounds like a good, affordable way to go! Thanks so much for replying so swiftly!
Thank you Dear a lot 🌷❤️
I know this is an old video but I'm still working on watching all your videos. I wish I could get a die cut machine. Do you still use this? Do you like it?
I do still use it and I love it!
I notice you have placed the die face down. The booklet shows face up. Do you recommend one over the other?
I prefer face down. I find it easier to get it placed exactly where I want it on the paper this way. If you do it face up, then your paper or cardstock is face down and you can't really see what part you're cutting unless you tape it into position first. It cuts by applying pressure to press the cutting edge through the paper. This pressure is the same in either position. Just turn it which ever way is best for you. But make sure that the plate you have on the side of the die with the cutting edge is the one that you don't mind having the cut marks in. I try to keep all my cut marks on one of the plates only. Very good question. Thanks so much. :-)
Craftie thank you. Ive always thought face down would be easier but too scared to go against the manual.
you're very welcome! Have fun!
If you Flip your "B" Bowed plate it will return flat again.
Thanks so much Stephanie. I'll try that! :-D
Hi, can you use thin dies with quick release foam with cuttlebug? just like dies from quilled creations amd xcut. thank you in advance
Very informative. Thank you
I love my Cuttlebug it’s a shame Cricut discontinued it and any accessories.
Love to scrapbooking, but is it just good for paper or for fabric cutting too?
Yes! It will cut fabric, felt, and many other materials. I've even seen the Cuttlebug used to cut very thin metal, such as pop cans.
Great! Thanks very much!
i have watched a few videos ... why do people put all kinds of things in the sandwich .. like the pads etc .. i am confused...
Each plate is a specific thickness. The “sandwich” is the combination to create the thickness to apply the right amount of pressure to cut or emboss. For example the B plate is thinner so that it doesn’t apply enough pressure to cut or tear the paper. So this is added for embossing. The C plate is thicker and will apply enough pressure to cut when added to the sandwich for wafer thin dies which are used for cutting thin materials such as paper and cardstock. It’s a thick sandwich because of the A plate, which can be removed from the sandwich to use thicker steel rule dies as they are about the thickness of the A plate. Steel rule dies are used to cut thicker materials such as chipboard, leather, wood veneer, etc. I hope this helps.
Hi there love your channel...I am going to buy this machine.. what version do you have..the lasers is v3..hsn has it for 89 dollars..thank you for sharing... hugss
Mine is the version 3 also. It’s even a little cheaper than that on Amazon. Try my link in this video‘s description or you can always find it in my Amazon Store: www.amazon.com/shop/craftie
Can you use foil I'm the cuttlebug?
Yes!
Just want to know will it cut through cardboard x
I’m almost certain it would. I’ll have to give that a try.
Some paper has the white core you can’t help it from doing that.

Please show how to use with an A2 and A7 card with a die using cuttlebug.
