Cuttlebug question

Hi All,

I have received a few questions as to if you can use the Sizzix dies that Stampin up sells with the Cuttlebug.

The answer is “YES” to all the dies and embossing folders and texturz plates, except for the Bigz XL dies. The Bigz XL dies are the banner, the box 2, the bag with Scallop, Movers and Shapes Curly Label, Basket & Blooms dies. These dies are on page 194 and the top of 195 in the catalog. The reason you can not use these 5 dies with the cuttlebug is because they require the extended cutting pads which are just a little wider then the standard cuttlebug plates.

All other Sizzix dies, (originals, Bigz, sizzlits, decorative strip dies, embosslits, and texturz plates and Textured Impressions Dies will work in the Cuttlebug. Of course with the Textured plates you will need the Texturz Silicone Rubber and Texturz Impressions pad. and with the decorative strips you will need the exteded spacer platform, and decorative strip cutting pads. But other then that nothing is needed.

There are lists on Splitcoast stampers that tells you the sandwiches for each type of die for the cuttlebug and the sizzix big shot.

Hope that helps!!

Enjoy
