does the "bug" work with......

[carrieflanagan]

I am more than sure this has been discussed in another thread, but, does anyone know if you are able to use the old style sizzix dies with the cuttlebug? I have the old red sizzix machine, and am going to get a bug regardless, but it would be nice if those dies would work. TIS!!

Be sure to check the Cuttlebug Sandwich thread for details on other dies, and how to stack your plates!

I am in the same boat.....old red Sizzix machine.....I got a converter so I could use the Cuttlebug embossing folders I purchased.....now I am wondering if this will also work for the Cuttlebug dies? I want to make the big clippy flower bookmarks! Just thought I'd ask someone before I go buy it and then need something else in order for it to work (like I did with the embossing folders :rolleyes: ) TIA if anyone knows!

From what I hear, you can also use the cuttlebug dies as long as you have the converter. I haven't tried it yet and they look a little thinner than the sizlets...so you may have to add some shims...but it's supposed to work.

Yep. I've used the large fat dies and they work great! Just follow the instructions for "sandwiching" in the Cuttlebug Instruction manual.

I've also used Quikkutz and they work great as well.

Love that cuttlebug!
