what is cuttlebug? what does it do?

The Cuttlebug embosses card stock. You put the paper between the embossing folder and the pressure causes whatever the folder looks like onto the paper. Giving a decorative finish. You can also cut shapes with the metal die, such as Spellbinders for flowers or labels to put greetings on.I love my Cuttlebug for making cards. I got mine on Ebay. The machines aren't on sale at craft stores very often but the die and folders can usually be bought with coupons

Oh yes, this works well with my Cuttlebug (that's the only cutting machine I have).

This embosser is the current model but NOT the NEW ONE. That one is called New Blue Cricut Cuttlebug. It was just released there IS a new Cuttlebug and according to this new link they can be pre-ordered at Amazon and available Nov 1 2013, but I cannot find that option on Amazon's site???? http://www.4-traders.com/news/Cricut-Introduces-New-Blue-Cricut-Cuttlebug-Embosser-and-Die-Cutter--17332113/ The current model hasn't been out very long (a few years maybe) and was not as nice as the original model they replaced it with. Maybe this new one will be better! Longer plates and loading shelf would be nice!! That's all I know! Mine broke in earlier this year and I went out and got a Tim Holz Vagabond which is WONDERFUL and much more versatile and only about $139 last I saw here at Amazon with free shipping. My choice hands down to Cuttlebug, and if I wanted a manual machine again I would buy the Sizzix Big Shot which interchanges with all the Vagabond plates etc!

This is made from the tiny shells of microscopic creatures. It will work on any bug or beetle with a hard shell (exoskeleton). It may take a while to notice but then it's thorough and lasts a very long time.

yes, it shocks the lice while it is stuck on the brush, and if you miss one you will notice the machine stops beeping when it detects one.

I am sorry I don't know. I use a Cricut, and it has its own type of cutter. There are just standard #2 X-Acto blades. If Cuttlebug uses the #2, then it would probably work.

You don't say what kind of bird, but for most hookbills (parakeets & parrots), rubbing their beak can be a territorial display OR (more commonly) a sign of boredom. Cuttlebone does give them a target for that boredom - who doesn't love a "crunch"? - but it's also important to provide other textures, from fresh veggies to rope to wood. (This is good for finches & canaries, as well.) Rotate those "toys", and if the bird seems afraid at first, but them outside the cage & gradually move them in. Cockatiels, especially, are fearful of change, but they NEED environmental enrichment for emotional and psychological health. Cuttlebone is a good first step.

It has a button you push on the handle....a little round one. You hold that in while you're swatting at the bugs.

I do not think this will work on the bugs you listed. It does a great job on grubs, I used this early this season and no grubs and no animals digging up yard trying to get grubs. There are some products that specify which bugs it kills, you might try Spectacid it works for fleas, crickets, earwigs and ants. Read packaging as this works on many other bugs. Flys are harder to kill off as so quick to give birth, maybe some flying insect killer. I hope this helps and this product works great at our home.

NO! The Cuttlebug is an embosser, and the embossment cards are approximately 4x6". The AccQuilt GO! uses fabric cutting dies that are much larger, and are usually used for quilts. Claire

Most definitely YES. Spellbinder dies are awesome! They work great with the Cuttlebug. You will need a C plate. A, C and B plates are used together for cutting. A, B and B plates are used for embossing. If you emboss with the spellbinders dies, you will also need a tan mat. If you just emboss with an embossing folder, you just need the A and two B plates. Also a good tip when using really intricate dies is to place wax paper on your die first, then your card stock. It will make for an easier release. Sometimes if it doesn't cut through all the way, place a small shim (little piece of card stock) just over the area that didn't cut and run it through again, not over the entire area. The Alphabet dies are great and I didn't need to put wax paper in at all. They release just fine. For a wonderful website to learn all kinds of card making, go to card-making-magic.com. Christina Griffiths has all kinds of wonderful tutorials. You will learn a lot and she is very easy to follow. Good Luck and Happy Crafting!

I tried to google CutterBug and can't find it. It keeps sending me to cuttlebug. Can you send me a link so I can check it out before I make a final desicion on what to buy? Thanks!

I had mice and chipmunks. I read the booklet and set the buttons on the sides to a different level and have not seen any trace of the critters since. I think you have to play around with it. I also noticed I have no bugs anywhere anymore including the pool which was filled with beetles every morning until I got this device. Unbelievable.

I am not sure. I have a Big Shot and used it in that. But the Cuttlebug appears to be very similar, so I dont see why not. But again, not totally sure.

I use this exact die with my Cuttlebug. You don't use the thick white pad with it, but it works just fine.

The Sizzix Bigkick comes with everything you need to get started so you don't need to purchase anything extra. I own this machine, the Cuttlebug and the Grand Caliber but I use this one more than the others. I've used Spellbinder dies in this machine, as well and it does a great job cutting them out. Hope this helps.

Good Morning, Thank you for your question. While we can not say if it is more portable than the Cuttlebug, it it weighs a little more than 1 lb. The Big Shot Machine measures approximately 14 1/4 x 12 3/8 x 6 5/8", so it would depend on the size of the suitcase. If you have any other questions please let us know.
