Came home with a Cuttlebug by Provo Craft on Friday. Michael’s has them for $79.99 and JoAnn for $89.99 so I used my 50% off coupon at JoAnn. I then went to Michael’s and used my 40% off one to buy an embossing template and a die cut. Oh my gosh, this is so fun! Just now I went on to eBay and bought 10 more templates (Michael’s were out of most and eBay had the same price). I made one super quick thank you card for my mom (see below). It literally took me 5 minutes. Yes, it’s super basic but it’d handmade for heaven’s sake and that’s all that matters!
If you’re not sure what a Cuttlebug is, it’s a little hand-crank machine that either cuts dies (using their dies OR ones you may have from Sizzix or whomever) or it embosses. I always think wistfully of my light box as I love the look of embossing but I never seem to get it out. The way Cuttlebug embosses makes it SO easy. I love new toys!
