Cuttlebug or Xyron Personal Cutting Machine

The Expression cuts from 1/4 to 23 1/2 inches tall could make some massive cards with that

You are all very naughty! 'Cos now I'm tempted too!

T hee
Us naughty, Sue?

Never!
But they are worth it
Right Anne we are not charging commision here


Animal Kingdom looks great too as does the Newborn one that is out
Oh!!! So much choice
Just as a by-the by folks
I have a PDF file, think I got it from Cricut site, that advises what settings to put the cutters at for different materials
If anyone wants a copy, I can email it
Sue and Jacky, I will keep a copy for you both for after Christmas

I would like that file Aunty Sadie pretty please

Flying to you in a second
have to go now folks
Dinner ready

Enjoy ya dinner

Speak laters Aunty Sadie

I can safely say that its one machine that does not tempt me in the slightest. Almost all my punches are corner or border ones, actually I think I have about 3 or 4 that aren't he he. Trelliswork is the only thing that I would use a cutting machine for, I think, but you never know my tastes might change in a year or so especially if it ever dropped in price to a level that fits my budget But, at this point I doubt it he he

I would be without it i sold my cricut original and bought the expression best move i made . It still amazes me what it can do and iv had mine for two years now The christmas cards you can make with it is unbeleivable. Ive got about 25 carts for it and want more

Won't be this Christmas 'cos I know I'm getting a satnav after getting lost so many times in Bristol and Cheltenham! maybe next year

I'm not sure now, I wanted a new camera cos I wasn't happy with the one I have, so DIL has been getting all the details of digital SLR so Martin was getting me one. Have to think what I really want

A CRICUT ?

Hi folks

Thanks for all your comments i have gone for the xyron personal cutting machine but only cos i got it a lot cheaper off e bay (and it has only been used twice).

However with all the comments made about the Cuttle bug i am tempted with that but wait until the New year to see what (if any) money will be coming through.

The machine is due to arrive hopefully tomorow and then i will play with it over the weekend and let you know how i am getting on with it.

When i get the cuttlebug i will let you know on that as well.

Thanks again, knew you lot would be great to ask

Christine xx

Glad to be of service
And glad to hear you got a bargain
Let us know how you get on with it please
It is great to hear different views on all the machines

i used to have a sizzix but now i have a bug and it's the best thing i ever bought (well birthday money from mum bought lol). it fits the majority of dies and embossing folders available on the market

for me, any machine that cuts stuff out for you like the ROBO takes all the fun out of crafting. i like to select my design and make it myself. i don't want a machine that does it all for me

but each to his/her own i suppose

i don't think you would be dissapointed in what you buy as long as it fits all dies and embossing folders

That's because you have young eyes and hands Kerry
Although I must admit there is something calming about sitting cutting out decoupage

That is until Alan makes fun of me wearing my magnifying head-gear
He says I look like I should be dealing cards instead of making them
