It's like a mini cuttle bug for kids! Sooooo cute. But everything I read about them say that it cuts paper and foam shapes but nothing about cutting cardstock.
My 6 yr old DD has one and she loves it. Easy to use 'cause it is smaller(made for little hands). It will cut through SU cardstock, no problem. It did cut through fun foam, too. The dies are more very cute kid-friendly designs. You can use the Cuttlekid dies with your Cuttlebug but not the other way around. IF you use a Cuttlekid in your Cuttlebug, the bug will break the Cuttlekid die because it is lighter. It was one of her favorite birthday gifts. I am gonna get more Cuttlekid dies to put in her stocking.

I'm confused??!! Can you use the Cuttlekids dies in the Cuttlebug or not?
According to joanns.com, the machine is ONLY 23.99! Thats a great price. The dies are around 3.50.
They work in the big cuttlebug. They are very cute! Two steps on some. the first you cut in black, and the second in color. then you piece it together on the black piece. ADORABLE! The hippo is to die for! I love hippos!! Im getting that for ME! LOL!
Many boy dies. 4wheelers, trucks, skulls etc.
Tons of animal dies, really cute.
Girly stuff, purses, fairy alpha- includes a wand, fairy, and a flower! Prices are perfect.
I will be getting the dies. I let my kids use my bug anyway, but the dies are way more the kids style. Definitely a good product in my book!!
Type in cuttlekids under google, you will get lots of results.
To use the Cuttlekids dies in the Cuttlebug you need to have the dies on the right or left side of the machine and not in the middle. The middle doesn't put enough pressure to cut thru the cardstock, but the sides do.
I bought a Cuttlebug for kids for my DS and he loves it. I bought it for him a few months ago when they first came out for $25.00nplus bought some dies for him.Love it!!!! Kim

I bought the cuttlekid, an extra set of plates, and some dies for my niece for Christmas from www.crazyscraps.com with free shipping over $75. It was all on sale, and the service was really good.

Reason: forgot to add free shipping
I bought the Cuttlekids for my DS who is almost 5 for Christmas. We have not used it yet , but it sure looks fun! She has a table set up in my craft room and loves to craft with me. I know she'll love having her own cutting tool!!
I bought my items from Custom Crops and Hallmark Scrapbook
I really wanted the Fairy Tale Alphabet and only one of the stores had it in stock at the time and the other one had the actual bug much cheaper! I am not sure of the prices now!
I really want the storage case..off to check for that now!
So I just bought one of these last week from Michaels with a coupon on a total whim. Well, several of the dies were on clearance and now i can't stop buying the rest. I have found that Ms takes competitor coupons so that helps. Why pay full price right? Anyway I was reading these posts and found the podcast. It was very cute and helpful. Thanks again for everyone's thoughts.
My 5 year old and 3 yearold love this and I think it would make a great gift for any young kiddo.
Robyn M's shoud also take one M coupon AND one competitor in the same transaction. I dont know if you knew, but it's awesome.
So I got one for my son. He LOVES it, but he can't really turn it, it gets halfway through and then when the turning gets tough he gives up and it shoots back out at him. Now he's only 3 and it says age 7, so I'm sure by the time he's 5 or something he will be fine with it. So I just put it in the closet for him.
And I was holding it with him and when it shot at him it hit ME, not him, but it did hurt. Just didn't want anyone to think I handed a toddler a cutting machine and said, "here have at it!"

wondering if anyone else out there has invested in this machine and how they like it?
Considering if for my 3.5 DD, she loves mine but it makes me nervous. I hear the crank is hard to turn... but I am willing to gamble and try it. I can always pack it away (like PP) and try again.

My DD(7 yo) has one she bought if with her own money.. she was using my Cuttle bug more then me!! Anyways it works great and the CK dies cut great and she can also you my CB dies in her machine. We picked it up at Wal-Mart for under $20 before Easter they also have the CK dies too. The handle to crank the machine doesn't seem to be hard for her to turn like I said she was using MY CB before she bought her CK. HTH~
My daughter got hers at 4 1/2, and needed some help with it. Now that she is 5 she can do it by herself. It might be hard for a 3 1/2 year old on their own. But I'd still get it!

OK, DH took us to Michaels and we bought it. She is able to turn it with a little help. It was worth it--she is having fun. She is a pretty "sturdy" 3.5 year old. She is pretty good about stacking the sandwhich correctly but needs some help lining it up to insert it. And she can crank it as long as I help hold the top. I'm just using colored copy paper--not cardstock. The suction cups on the legs seem better than the CB!
Michaels had very limited dies available today... I remember seeing a BUNCH on clearance a few months ago... I wonder if the other dies are gone or new ones are coming? Anyone going to CHA? Ask provo craft and report back.
We have the CK and LOVE it! You can use the CK dies in the CB but not the CB dies in the CK. They cut through CS just fine. My boys have no problems with it. They have a blast using it and make cards and projects all the time!! We got it at Michaels before easter with a coupon. All the dies were on clearence for 50% off. I can't wait for new dies to come out.
