If you've been bitten by the "bug" - if you've caught "Cuttlebug-Itis" - then this group is for you. You do not have to own Cuttlebug products, just need to be interested in dies, embossing folders and related topics. :-)

This international list is named for Cuttlebug products but we discuss any/all die-cutting machines and their respective products including Sizzix, Sizzix Big Kick, Sizzlits, Ellison Big Shot, Provo Craft Cuttlebug, Boss Kut, Spellbinders, Quickutz, Fiskars embossing plates, and embossing w/ brass stencils.

Our members share tips and techniques including but not limited to their successful 'sandwich' recipes, and compatibility of Cuttlebug with other brands. And we welcome ideas and questions about all things papercrafting including stamping, scrapbooking, card making, altered books and other mixed media arts.

Off-topic discussion is allowed, but please keep it G-rated and to a minimum. Be sure to add OT/ to the subject line for off-topic messages. Please resist the urge to fwd. or cross-post messages of any kind including 'funnies', virus alerts and other kinds of warnings.

Swaps are not available on this list presently but we always like for you to upload photos/scans of your work related to diecuts/embossing. And you just might see it on our Home Page!

This is an ad-free list. No trades or ads of any kind including offers to buy or sell items from individuals, auctions, and online sites.

Saturday is Blog Day when active members may announce updates for personal non-commercial blogs/other photo sites. This list is not affiliated with any other Yahoo group.
