Cricut CuttleBug Tips and Tricks

[@maureennewton1354]

Just brought my first cuttlebug, thank you for you wonderful demonstration so clear. Can’t wait to get started.

[@faithmas4422]

I used to draw, make diy cards, anything that has to do with color pens and pretty card stocks. Then marriage and motherhood happened, I set my passion aside in order to prioritize my family. Now, I'm planning on doing it sgain, 23 yrs later. While I'm still saving and planning what type of die cutting machine and the different kinds of supplies and rools should I buy, I'm familiarizing myself or preparing myself by watching your videos. Thank you for sharing your passion thru your videos. A fan from the Philippines.

[@pamrosenberry7575]

I just ordered one today and have already learned so much watching you demonstrate.

[@Mary-el3pi]

I’ve had my Cuttlebug for probably 15 years and this tutorial gave me new info! Thanks a bunch!

[@adrianaariza-jones3694]

[@bianca090189]

You should be a spokesperson for Cricut! This video 100 percent persuaded me to buy the cuddle bug as my first diecutting/embossing machine. Great tips and right to the point. Subscribed!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

[@jengroskreutz6836]

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Yay!! your going to love it :) Thank you so much I will have more videos with this little guy soon :)

[@slomo_48mo84]

I don't own a cuttlebug but I do own a sizzix and I think your tips will work on mine. You have so many quick tips and right to the point. I do buy from the sites you listed and I will click on your links here and hopefully they will compensate you. Thank you so much for this video. I enjoyed it, and it's very helpful, great job!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Thank you so much I do use these same tips on my sizzix :)

[@susansmith5838]

Just loved it.. Wonderful and creative ideas!!

[@mariestrafaci782]

Thank you so much for such a great video. You covered a lot in just one video….I learned so much & can’t wait to get started.

[@GmaPat89]

So surprised that Cricuit has discontinued the Cuttlebug!! I love mine...it's the perfect size for my small work station. Can't find replacement B plates either!!! Thanks so much for your video...love your tips on getting the best die cuts with our Cuttlebug machines.

[@madampinkjustice3507]

Just ordered B plates from amazon

[@mariycarlos2010]

Awesome! Can’t wait to get a cricut cuttlebug .

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

I love it

[@CherylGormanAuthor]

I am getting a Cuttlebug for Christmas so thank you so much for the great video!

[@ashleyien1222]

Do you need the magnetic plate or can you use a C plate and some of the painter's tape to hold things in place? Thanks for the tips.

[@staceyevans6768]

I just got a cuttlebug two days ago...I heard that cracking and was like oh no...thank you for saying that it is normal!

[@daylenemiller8832]

How do we emboss 13” items with extended plates A or maybe it’s C and 2 B’s to emboss? Most importantly Where do we get embossing folders for the extended 13” Plates. I don’t use the Cuttlebug to die-cut, im addicted to Embossing with Embossing Folders but don’t know where to buy 13” embossing folders or if they even exist ? Any info will be most appreciated! Thank you 😊 love your videos!

[@grahamsandc]

Great video!

[@lalalaura747]

This is so helpful and easy to understand. I like how practical you are and am a new subscriber to your channel. I have the electric die cutters and a Cuttlebug. I'm just starting to use it for small quick projects without the fuss. Love the background die with the vinyl sheet and found the name of the die in one of your replies below. It's too bad that the handy dandy Cuttlebug is discontinued. However, it will continue to be loved by us crafters.

[@EileenFields]

Tfs! I just found one for $5 @ a place called Arts & Scraps!! Going to get some foam soon!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Score :) you did great

[@D0NNASAUR]

Eileen Fields at first .... I thought you meant a cuttlebug for $5 😂 My heart dropped and was midway typing arts and scraps into my google search bar until I realized that my first instinct of “being too good to be true” thought was indeed correct. HahahHaha - silly me 🤪 Darn it! 😣

[@sharonfulton6087]

I'm new to your channel and enjoyed your demonstrations and like your shaker card method. TFS

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Thank you for being here :) and Im so glad you liked it!

[@andreasmiles]

Hi thanks for the video. I was wondering can the cuddlebug cut leather or sticker cut outs

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

your welcome and yes it can :) as well as fabric felt ect

[@D0NNASAUR]

ahhhh! Isn’t it supposed to be facing up... so the top B plate is the one getting all cut up - while keeping the bottom B as clean as can be...? And then finally when the top B plate is no longer functional.... switch up your B plates by rotating the bottom “B” plate - to use as now your “Cut-Up” Top B plate - and introduce a brand new B plate to replace the “Clean” Bottom “B” plate? I mean , I could be wrong. Or perhaps there are several other ways and techniques people tend to use. I get it’s more of a personal preference thing... but I personally Choose to utilize my B plates the way I described above in order to preserve its use/functionality and life expectancy (? Lol dunno how else to describe it at this moment) but continue the pattern and rotation of switching up the B plates when needed . I noticed using certain card stock - especially super shiny or foiled cardstock - its a super FAIL (!!!!!) when using a super cut up B plate.... as EVERY SINGLE CUT (no exaggeration) is instantly mirrored and cut and engraved and literally embossed on to the shiny/foiled material you have pressed up against your cut up B plate - or either B plate that has any visible cuts and marks . Unfortunately learned the hard way. Sorry for long comment ! Was not expecting this whatsoever - I assure you! Just wanted to say THANKs for your video + info! It’s been over a year almost since I received my cuttlebug .... first and only manual die-cutting machine .... and one thing for certain is.... I specifically remember watching this video right here as one of my first five videos I’ve watched while researching wtf to do with this foreign strange alien contraption in front of me - so you definitely gave me a better understanding! Funny that I landed on it all these moths later! Thanks again!!!! Xoxo 😘

[@Michelle_Scott.]

I have one but never use it. I'm trying to stock up on materials for it. Great tips though. Thanks for sharing!!

[@mohammednasaranasira8487]

Please can it be use in cutting fabrics? If yes, won't the fabric fray after cutting?.. For instance satin. Thanks

[@liztury1434]

What a great tutorial. Thank you.

[@longviewfarm8043]

I really like that background die that you used for the galaxy vinyl. Where can I get one?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

This is from lawn fawn its a quilt backdrop die here is the link amzn.to/2LsLMrj

[@marnelemke3410]

Any idea where I can purchase B plate replacement? Thank you

[@bobettegrover2597]

Where do you get your sponge stamps that you used on the embossing folder?

[@BuffyLynn]

I got mine at Christmas but haven’t used it. I did buy another plate that didn’t come with it but now it seems I’ll need yet ANOTHER one to use dies??(🧲 magnetic)??

[@emmaswartz6653]

Buffy Pink Posey Design yes, you need the magnetic plate, I found mine online at Joann’s, I use mine almost all the time for my card layouts.

[@Purpose4615]

Great video thank you for sharing

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Thank you so much and your super welcome

[@Kementiri]

I want something that can do custom cut outs. Does the cuttlebug do that? Thanks

[@emmaswartz6653]

Kementiri no, I think you’d need to buy an electronic die cutting machine for that.

[@donnaboucher684]

I want a to order a die cut of a deer. size 10x4*9 but dont know if its ri big.

[@sueguidry4216]

Where do you buy the magnetic sheet

[@nzomoify]

where does one buy the Cuttlebug stencils? and if you buy the Cricut maker, does it come with an embossing functionality such that you will not need the Cuttlebug?

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

You can get cuttlebug supplies on Cricut.com and yes the Cricut maker and the Cricut air machines have the option for embossing. The cuttlebug is nice if you want to make a quick project without needing the internet :) hope this helps

[@nzomoify]

@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat thanks appreciated. Can you make your own stencils for the cuttlebug, that's if you are working on a project from scratch?

[@junemoore8750]

Thank you! Great ideas!

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

You are so welcome! Thank you so much

[@McCreaFamilyHomestead]

When you are doing cuts I thought we used the C plate and B is just for embossing. Am I wrong?

[@ashleyien1222]

I think because she has the magnetic plate it makes up the difference in thickness so you use the B instead of the C. I don't have the magnetic plate and was wondering how to get the dies not to move on me. Maybe painter's tape would solve that and the magnetic plate isn't needed.

[@katheriner9613]

Great video👍

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Thank you so much

[@tinagregory1737]

I have a cuttlebug but every time I try to cut dies I run them through 4 times and it still doesn't cut all the way through. Not sure what else to do.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

paper shim I fold a piece or two of cardstock or paper in the sandwich and that should do it

[@robinrowe8025]

Thank you. Thanking about getting one.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

You are so welcome its a good one :)

[@MrShawnee1]

Will this cut stencils

[@GinaLovestocraft]

Great review 🦋

[@kimberleypower934]

I just got one and I'm having a static issue, what is causing this? Is it the rubber mat? How can I stop it from happening?

[@melodyphipps2562]

dryer sheet :)

[@tinar1142]

I'm new to this so forgive me but I am very confused by this video. You have to buy those images and metal things to go around them? You can't make custom patterns?

[@DMoz13]

Yes you have to buy the stamps and the metal cut outs.

[@tinar1142]

@@DMoz13 That is depressing. Thank you though for answering.

[@joancross5296]

Where do I get a magnetic plate for my cuttlebug

[@BethHemry]

I do not see the need of the magnetic pad under the b plate?
