Cuttlebug Guide

Cuttlebug Cutting (Sandwich) Guide

For a printable version of this information please click HERE.

This information has been sent into ProvoCraft by users and has been made available by them. I do not own and have not used a Cuttlebug machine so I am completely unable to test if these methods actually work. Therefore any use of the information below is done strictly and entirely at your own risk!

Remember that certain dies (e.g Ellison Thin Cuts and Sizzlits) will always work best on paper and not cardstock.

Cuttlebug Dies	Pad ‘B’ Media Die (blade up) Pad ‘B’ Pad ‘A’	Pad ‘B’ Media Die (blade up) Pad ‘B’ Pad ‘A’	Pad ‘B’ Media Die (blade up) Pad ‘B’ Pad ‘A’

The pressure tolerance or tension can vary for each machine; you may need to add cardstock shims for better results. ALWAYS go for the thinnest configuration, then build up for increased pressure.

If the sandwich you require is not listed here I will unfortunately not be able to assist any further as I do not own a Cuttlebug. I will however keep checking the ProvoCraft website and add more sandwiches to this list as they become available.
