Thank You

As far as I am aware hunny, the cuttlebug can use any dies currently on the market, that was a huge selling point when it came out.  I know for certain sizzix dies work from personal experience.  I haven’t heard of anyone having problems.

I haven’t ordered from cropstop I’m afraid, so can’t help with that one.

Just been on youtube and found these videos:

For boss kuts in cuttlebug:

Quickutz dies:

The vids just happen to be by cropstop LOL

Hope that helps.

Love Jules x

Same as Jules, i was told all dies work in the bug when i brought it.

I have used some of the Sizzix dies in mine, and they work fine.

All the sizzix and sizzlets work fine my bug.

One of my new sizzix bigz dies has cracked though, I have only used it 3 times!
Should I return it? I think I still have the receipt. I’m guessing that it must have a fault as I have only cut 1 sheet of cardstock at a time with it.

Yes I think I will. Just need to physically find the time to drive up there. Unfortunately it was the same place I bought the mis alighned crop a dile ll, so I don’t know how willing they will be to exchange the die. They weren’t too impressed with swapping the big bite at the time.
Will give it a go anyway.

Sorry Lollies, seem to have hijacked your thread. red face

And now back to the topic in question

Lollies you can also use ellison dies, they are cheaper here in Aus(on ebay anyway) and are made by sizzix.
