    Christina,
    For future ref. I have discovered how to cut dies with your Cuttlebug or any other machine without damaging your A,B,and/or C plates.
    I have a Texture Boutique and wanted to cut dies with it and not damage my plates.
    I purchased some 5" x 7" aluminum step flashing and placed one on top of my bottom plate with several plastic sheets/shims I cut from dollar store cutting mats under that , next I placed my die and paper on top of that, then I placed another aluminum sheet on top of that, next I placed another plastic sheet/shim on top, and last the top plate. I ran it through my machine and it cut like butter. No damage to my two plates that come with my machine. Your sandwich content may differ from mine but, use the aluminum flashing on bottom and top of your die cut sandwich so they don't come in contact with your A,B, and/or C plates.
    Amazon has 10 sheets for $6.22 or Home Depot has 100 sheets for $22.00. The size is 5" x 7". These will fit your machine.

    Christina, I just want to thank you for putting this video demonstration on how to use other die cuts with the cuttlebug. Your video was clear and easy to understand and most of all you keep everything in frame. Thank you.

    THANK YOU! I've been getting cranky watching all the fun videos and looking at my newly purchased Cuttlebug box telling me it comes with an A plate and 2 B plates, no mention of a C plate! Thanks so much for the clarification.

    Thankyou for this video this is a brand new hobby /interest of mine and i looked on Ebay for machines that the CuttlBug kept popping up i liked the prices of them but the photos made it difficult to understand it’s full operation a few of the photos i saw did not show the Crank handle so it made me curious how the thing worked FYI i got into Sewing because i wanted more control over Marine Cushions for my boats and doing Interiors on my Vintage Automobiles ! i am self taught but admit i learned quite a few neat tricks of the Trade watching You Tube videos like yours

    Wtih the Big die, you don't use the A plate as it will be too thick. You use the big die between 2 B plates.

    Quick question anyone. Godnight.
    I only a couple days ago bought the C plate myself so I can use a Sizzix Die that was gifted to me. Is it normal for the die to cut into my B plate? The 'sandwich ' I made was: A Plate, B plate, paper with die, then C plate. Also I heard mentioned in this video that she put the die facing upwards. Does it matter? Thanks in advance

I would love to emboss a, what could I use in place of a "C" plate?. I can't seem to buy one anywhere. Can you please tell me the difference in thickness so I can get one made up.

    Thanks for sharing this video. Question - I tried to cut out a poinsettia die from Elizabeth crafts - a metal steel die. I used an A plate, a C plate, B plate, the die face up, card stock, B plate. I was using the the shimmery silver paper from Michaels. It tends to be heavier. I only got an impression on the paper. No cutting. Any ideas? You put the pieces of the paper together to make your poinsettia flower. Maybe I have to use lighter weight paper. Can't figure what's wrong.

    I'm new to die-cutting and this vid is great. Just one thing I'm confused about - in the section about using an XL die, from the video it looks as if your sandwich (from the bottom) is B, then that black plate then die and paper and then B. My question is, don't we usually start with the A plate on the bottom? Also, may I use my A plate in loo of the black plate you show? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks so much for this vid.

    Hi Milissa, My Cuttlebug is doing the same thing. I mostly have that problem with the more intricate dies ie, Spellbinder's Gilded Gate. I even bought all new plates and that didn't help at all. I'm going to contact Provo Craft & see if they have any suggestions. I'll get back to you if I find a solution because I've invested a ton of $ into the dies!!

I do not own any cuttlebug dies but im using dies ive always used. Sizziz reg, sizzix bigs, Spellbinders and other waferthins. Ive tried adding differ types of shims, moving it around to differnt areas of the plates, Ive even bought a new set of B plates. and its still not cutting in the middle. PLEASE HELP :)

    Did you hear they are discontinuing it?!? There will be something called a Cricut Cuttlebug??? Or perhaps that's old news. If mine breaks, or supplies unavailable, what machine would you recommend? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Again, thanks and be safe! 😊 😷

I'll be really disappointed if it doesn't fit into my Cuttlebug, :-(

I actually notified Cuttlebug and they're going to send me a *new* one but the sweet part is I get to keep the current one too. So I'll have two(2) Cuttlebug machines. :P

    Many thanks for so many tips on which 'sandwhiches' to use for the different dies that can be used with the great Cuttlebug.
    Do you know which sandwhich is best for using the Fiskars texture plates?
    You mentioned that you reverse your B plate that is the one that gets all the cutting marks.... I was told that doing this weakens it and it will snap. My B plate now looks like a very curved U and I'm too scared to reverse it. HELP! many thanks for your great video.
