SQOTD - 3/19 (diecutting)

Do you use a diecut machine? Which one do you use & love most?

I love my Cuttlebug. I mostly use it with my Sizzix dies & I love being able to use my Spellbinders with it also.
I have a Cricut but haven't used it very much at all. I think I've had it for about 5 years. I won a Slice & sold it cause I just wasn't feelin' it.

I have an original Cricut and can't stop using it! I love it and would be lost without my Cricut and the design studio, I love that I can see it on the computer screen and know exactly where everything will be on the mat!

That QK squeeze was evil! I would make just one title & have aching hands for days. I sold all my alpha sets but nobody ever wanted to take my squeeze.

I got the original cricut for more then 2 years or even more. This year my goal is to use it. I started to use it more and not only for titles. Only have 4 cartridges.
I won the Slice too and sold it. I want the Cuttlebug, waiting for a good sale and thinking if I will really use it. My friend Corina has it and when I go to her house I embosse some cardstock to have it around. But not that much! Still thinking!!! Rolling Eyes

I have just recently got a Vagabond and have a Craft Robo. Loving the vagabond. Gave my cuttlebug to friend when I got the Vagabond. Loved the bug too as they use most of the dies that are available

I have the original Cricut which I rarely use but can't give it up. I really like their new cartridges but there are alot of layers in the images.

My Fav is Cuttlebug - it is small but mighty, love the embossing and you can put any other brand of dies it in.

I have a Cuttlebug. I forgot about being able to use other dies... I don't use it much.

I love my Cuttlebug, but I have only used it for embossing. I love the Tim Holtz folders. So cute! I contemplated getting an Epic Six, but realized it is pretty much the same as a Cuttlebug. I should get some Spellbinders to use with it. I love their stuff.

I use my Slice a lot, mostly for tag shapes on cards. Once in a while I will cut a title with it. I like the portability of it as well as the small amount of space it takes up on my desk. It took me a while to get the hang of it, though. I was frustrated with it at first.

I had a 1st gen Cricut and 10 or so carts, but I rarely used it. I sold it a year ago with the carts and cutting mats.

In its place, I got a Silhouette. I love, love, love it! I can buy individual images to cut without buy an entire cartridge. With the Cricut, I found that I would like 2 or 3 images on a cart but couldn't really justify the $ for the entire cart. However, I don't use my Silhouette very often. It requires so many steps to cut one image.

Excellent question, Kristi!

I started with the QK squeeze, and many dies. Many dies. Graduated to the Revolution, and subsequently the Cuttlebug. I now also have a bunch of embossing folders and TH dies; I'm lusting after a Vagabond, but it's not a necessity because I can use everything in the Cuttlebug. The Revolution still gets pressed into service at my daughter's house; I kept the squeeze to have a portable tool but never use it now.

I have a Cuttlebug that I won at a crop....I don't use it much, but it does sure come in handy!

I have a cricut that I seem to use in spurts. Mostly to cut scalloped edges or shapes.

I'm a couple days late on this topic, but I have theCricut Expression and love it!! I've had mine about 3 years and consider myself an advanced user. I use my Cricut to cut a variety of materials includes, canvas and wool blend felt. I love using the 'layers' button to create some cool die cuts.. Disney pricness are my Fav with our daughters. I also love to create little critters and unique flowers!

I have a cuttlebug which I found on craigslist for 20 bucks, LOVE IT!!!! I recently got a spellbinders die to use in the cuttlebug worked awesome!!! Love all the embossing you can add with the cuttlebug. I also have a cricut which I don't use a lot but when I use it I'm very happy that I have it.
