I have the Anna Griffin Cuttlebug. Would there be any reason to invest in this machine as well? Thank you and Happy New Year. I will enjoy this month of tips and tricks. Thanks. Joanne

[@AnnmarieVaux]

Thanks Joanne, there are so many different things coming up over the month, something for everyone. If you already have a Cuttlebug, this machine is the same size etc and same size bed for the dies etc so you wouldn't need this one as well as it does just the same, and just the same as the Big Shot as well. so save your money for now :) Thanks for watching and commenting, please share if you can xxx (check out my new super-blog at annmariesdesigns.blogspot.co.uk )

Hi Ann-marie, I have a big shot and have a bunch of Anna Griffin dies which are giving me a heck of a work out. I've had to adjust the sandwich to get them to cut. More then half of them are just shredding my paper only used them 4 or 5 times. Was wondering if you or anyone else has had the same issue. May drop A.G. a message about this. TFS

[@AnnmarieVaux]

Debs, as you may know, my normal machine is a Big Shot, I have had it years, Spellbinders sent me the Platinum for the special #31days so I have been kind of lucky there.. but I use my Big Shot for all prep and all my cardmaking/scrapbooking so basically everything else. When I use new plates with the Big Shot the cut is very deep obviously the force is greater, but if i use wax paper and old plates the cut is perfect. Try using some wax paper with them face upwards and see if that makes a difference :) xxx

[@djmusc13]

Ann-marie Vaux I only use old plates with her dies. I'll try the wax paper with hers see if it helps. Thanks Ann-marie.
