5.0 out of 5 stars Can be used with Cuttlebug embossing machine, February 24, 2011

This review is from: Spellbinders Shapeabilities Die-Butterflies 2 (Kitchen)

With these butterfly dies you can perform the following functions: step (1) cut butterflies from decorative paper; step (2) emboss butterflies; step (3) color butterflies.

I was able to cut and emboss these pretty butterflies with my Cuttlebug V2 Embossing & Die Cutting Machine plus Spellbinders W-023 Enlarged Embossing Pads for Wizard Cutting and Embossing System. Although the Spellbinders die cuts work without any extra parts in the Cuttlebug machine to perform step (1), you will need one of the Spellbinders embossing pads, in order to perform step (2), which is to emboss your cut-out butterflies.

To perform step (3) I left the cut and embossed butterflies in the Shapeabilities dies, so that I could color the embossed (raised) parts of each butterfly. I used Clearsnap Smooch Pearlized Accent Ink Gold Lame By The Each and SMOOCH ACCNTINK GREENAPPLE.3oz Drafting, Engineering, Art (General Catalog) to color the butterflies in the above (Customer Image 1) Sympathy greeting card.

Note: the directions that come with the Shapeabilities dies are easy to use, except they fail to mention that if you are using paper that has a decorative print on only one side, be sure to place the printed side of the paper against the cutting side of the die.

The directions included with this product explain how to use these dies with the following machines: Big Kick by Sizzix; Original Sizzix Press; CuttleBug by Provocraft (this is the die-cutter/embosser that I use); and the Big Shot machines by Ellison-Sizzix.

This is a very nice product, and easy to clean after step (3). I used Cottonelle Fresh Folded Moist Wipes Refill 84 to clean my dies.

This review is from: Spellbinders Shapeabilities Dies-Sunflower 2 (Kitchen)

I love making greeting cards with Sunflowers because they are the state flower where I live (Kansas). These Spellbinder dies make absolutely beautiful flowers that I mount on cards. I love the clean embossing and the large size of the flowers. I use the dies in a Cuttlebug machine and they work great.

There are videos on You Tube that show how to use different brands of cutting and embossing dies in the Cuttlebug, but all that is really necessary is finding a shim that is the right thickness so the layers can pass safely through the machine. I usually use the "A" piece and two "B" pieces for the Nestability dies. If the layers are not thick enough I experiment with layers of cardboard until the layers are thick enough to make the impression I want. I find the cardboard from the back of tablets like legal pads are great for making the shim layers since they can be cut to the size of the plastic pads and are thin enough to add extra layers if needed. Just remember to not make the final layers so thick the handle won't turn--forcing it through the machine can break it.

Storage of the Nestability dies is really easy too. They are very thin metal shapes with a raised edge for cutting. They come mounted on a folded piece of cardboard with double stick tape holding them in place. When storing the dies I fold the cardboard back over the dies to protect them and hold it closed with a paperclip on the edge. If the double stick tape looses its grip a new one can be added under the dies. Many of the sets can be stored in a very small space--I keep them in a clear plastic storage box with my Cuttlebug embossing folders.

I have both sets of the Spellbinders Sunflowers, and they make great flowers for cards and scrapbook pages. AND you can combine them to make more three dimensional ones.
