LittleJan's post as a newbie in 'start here' comments on Cutttlebug is very interesting.

I have seen these warnings, but I believe that they are referring to the foam-ejector dies, like the original sizzix, etc., not copper-rule wafer-thin dies.
I could be wrong, of course...

I have joined mainly to find out more about us crafting as the uk is the last place to get anything new. And also to ask if you know if there is any truth in the fact that the cuttlebug is to be no more.as Someone on uk site as said that the maker of the cuttle bug has gone bust and that provcraft have no other makers in the pipeline, I have contacted Uk sellers and they do not seem to know much about this just that there is a problem with getting stock. I would like to know for sure as I saved up for while for my cuttle bug and if it is true need to stock up on dies and folders while the uk still has them
many thanks Jan

Hi, reporting back regarding the rumor that cuttlebug was in danger of being dropped by ProvoCraft as a viable product because of a factory closing. Well, that alarmed me, so I decided to drop an e-mail to ProvoCraft and let them know what was being said and ask them if there was any truth to the rumor. I received a response back from them within an hour and here is what it said:
"Hello,
This rumor is not true and is quite the opposite. We are looking to expand and grow the Cuttlebug products in the future and have new products being released at the Summer 2009 CHA show.
We appreciate your support.
Thank you,
Customer Service"

If I was more geeky I would know how to link to my original e-mail and their response so you would be assured that I am not fabricating this. However, I am NOT geeky, therefore I am forced to laboriously type it as received and hope that you believe me! :rolleyes:

Just wanted to let fellow Cuttlebug owners know the good news that the Bug has not been swatted out of existence. ;) And the additional news that there are new products on the horizon! :cool:

Don't know if you've already ordered this from somewhere, but I was on Walmart's website and they have added the tan mats to their Nestie stuff. I think it was $8.66 for 2 of the new larger sized ones and there is no shipping charge if you have them sent to your choice of local Walmart and pick them up there. Hope this helps!

Thanks so much for your suggestion!!

In case anyone is interested regarding more info on the false rumor about Cuttlebug not being produced anymore, I received a second e-mail yesterday from Provo-craft customer service that read as follows:

"Hello,
Please let them know, we have been asked about this quite a bit lately. My thoughts are that because we did not have any thing new in the Cuttlebug area at the CHA show last month people may have assumed that there was nothing new. They just did not have the new product ready in time, so they decided to wait for summer. The embossing folders are a big hit for everyone, I love those!!!
Thank you,
Customer Service"

I thought it was important to pass this along, since Provo-craft took the time to contact me twice yesterday with info. Hope this will put to rest the speculation on the future of Cuttlebug and related products. It certainly quieted my uncertainty and gave me something to look forwad to - MORE FOLDERS! :cool:
