Cricut Cuttlebug Tools - 6" x 13" C Plate Spacer

I have arthritic hands and am struggling with my Sizzix. I very much like the design, it is very neat and open and closes far more easily than my Foldaway (which has always been an awkward so-and-so). The much-vaunted suction is rubbish, even turning the handle with not passing anything through is enough to break its seal. The handle itself is rather small and the whole arm feels flimsy in comparison to the construction of the Foldaway. I ordered it very early on 13/2/20, paid for next day delivery, it eventually arrived on 17/2/20 - what a rip-off. I now see it's being sold at the price I paid including free delivery.A few months on and I can report this is brilliant at embossing, not as good at cutting as my Sizzix but I do not regret buying it.

When my previous cuttlebug packed up after 10 years I of course decided to get another thinking the quality would be the same. This version doesn't seem to have as much pressure and it doesn't stick to surfaces as well. the handle does not seem as strong either. Of course I will stick with it, but I do not see it lasting as well as the previous.

This is a must if you want to get the most out of your dies from the Cuttlebug. I have a lot of Spellbinders dies and bought this mat as many are too big to run through my Sapphire. It embosses perfectly and is easy to use as well. For really intricate dies it is best to use waxed paper to make sure it releases from the die easily. Wouldn't be without it now, highly recommended.

When I ordered the cutting plates, I wasn't sure what I was going to receive as the picture shown on the main Amazon page wasn't the usual Cricut Cuttlebug package but I'm pleased to say that I did actually receive genuine Cuttlebug B Plates. They were delivered quickly, before the first of the estimated delivery dates. Highly recommended and I will use The Craft Barn. Thank you, Elizabeth.

Great machine for my Daughter and very easy to use. This replaced the earlier electric Cricut machine which used programmed cassettes. This machine is half the size of the old one so it stores easier and the results are excellent.

Peefect small starter die cutting machine. Very happy.

Not as sturdy as I expected

I found the plates to be very thin. I don't know whether this is because my Cuttle Bug is old and the newer ones have thinner plates. I was quite disappointed really as I will have to use something else to pad out the plates.
