Hello everyone,
Carol here again, just want to ask everyone of what embossing machine you recommend for me to buy and easy to use.
What embossing machine you are using right now.

Thanks for reading my topic and replies will be greatly appreciated.

Happy crafting to all,
Carol

Hi Carol,

I have a cuttlebug and love it for embossing, couldn’t wish for anything better! I can’t really comment on any other machines I’m afraid, but if you take a look in the gadget and gizmos section there will be some topics that may be helpful.

I too have a Cuttlebug and love it…I just wish some of my favourite folders were a little larger sometimes…they’ve brought out some bigger 7 x 5” ones, but there aren’t too many of those available just yet

I got a cuttlebug the other week after asking about it on here. I LOVE it even though I have still only got the free folders and die. I am looking forward to buying some folders in the future and know when I do I will be always using it. grin

Cuttlebug fan here too - you can use other makers’ embossing folders and die cuts too - like the others my wish list is for a few more large folders. I would recommend the ‘divine’ swirls folder for embossing - it’s really versatile

I have a Sizzix texture I’m new to using it but I love it (addicted) to it :-D, I love all the Embossing boards that You can buy to use with it. Makes you’re cards look that little bit more special.

I wouldn’t mind investing in a cuttle bug as that cuts as well as Embosses ( i think ) maybe wrong.

I love my new sizzix grin xxx

If you don’t want a large embossing machine you should look at the portable Cuttlebug Embossing Machine. It’s easy to carry around, thanks to its size, and works with any die that fits through its 6 inch,and a many kind of embossing machine available in market like a Die-Cutting System,Beginners Kit etc but you choose which you can easily use.

Hi
My best friend is the big shot expression so easy to use and cut most of the leading brands of dies in fact there is not a die I come across that it hasn’t cut
