big shot die question

[smallfrystamper]

will the big shot dies work with th cuttlebug? i already have a cuttlebug machine and i really dont want to spend the extra money if i don't have to. If so, can you give me a sandwich? thanks

I'm subscribing...I'd like to know also. I have a cuttlebug and cricut...just haven't taken the Big shot or Wizard (debating on both) plunge yet. ;)

I would like to know this also since I have a cuttlebug. I love the big shot dies in the SU catalog. Thanks.....

anyone?? My SU rep is waiting for a response from me and like posters above I have the CB and don't want to buy another "toy" if I don't have to.. not to mention DH's reaction if he sees it :( I really want the Basket and Blooms and Top Note dies!

OK so I was doing some major surfing and this thread came up from SCS.

Go down to post #28 and click on Amy's tutorial. You can use the big dies with the CB!! WOO HOO!!

The thin, Sizzlet, dies will work in the CB but not the bigger thick ones (originals or BigZ). I have the Big Shot, not the CB but I think it's because they won't fit through the machine for some reason. I don't know if it's the width of the die or the thickness of it.

*edited to say that I should've read the above post before responding. I didn't think it would work (I swear I heard that from many people when the CB first came out). I love the new XL sized dies but $40 is a bit too much to pay IMHO. I might stalk the Sizzix site for some bargains before I take the plunge at full retail.

They fit through just fine! I've been using them in my cuttlebug since they came out in August.

I know the red original dies work in the CB, I use them in mine all the time.

Hey ladies - you can fit the new SU Bigz XL dies (baskets and blossoms) in your cuttlebug - the die fits perfectly - the only thing you'll have to do is to have your husband or someone with a saw cut off 1/4" of the long side of each extended cutting pads. The cutting pads are just too wide by 1/4 to fit through the 6" wide cuttlebug. Othere than that everything works just great. I am loving the cute little baskets. Made a ton for halloween - very cute!
