How to Use a Cuttlebug Machine
A Cuttlebug is a manually operated die-cutting and embossing machine. Provo Craft makes the Cuttlebug, but other companies make similar personal die-cutting machines. They all work on the same basic principals. The dies and embossing folders made by different manufacturers will work in the Cuttlebug, although you may have to adjust the arrangement of cutting plates you use with each die or folder. The arrangement of plates and dies is known as the “sandwich.”
