The big sizzix one...not the sidekick. I just looked for a die on e-bay and it said you could use the cuttlebug die in the big Sizzix machine with the Sizzix converter.

Anyone try this? :huh:

I hear that it works. Don't have a sizzix to test it, though.

I have the big sizzix and I have some of the cuttlebug dies and one embossing folder. It works great with the embossing folders...however it only works with dies that have one image on them. I can't get it work with dies that have multiple images on it! Unless someone else knows a secret that I have not found yet.

Julie, you'd probably need a shim to add more pressure on the die as you're pressing down. I've not tried it (I don't have any of the CB dies, just the folders.)

My DH tried it for me but he had to add extra converters & a little of this & that & after all of the hassle I was like totally not into the trouble it took & I went out & bought myself a Cuttlebugger using a 50% off coupon. I am all about takeing the easy way out...LOL! :)

It works! I bought a set of embossing folders and tried one out with my big Sizzix. Wow! :D
I just used the big convertor and that was it.

I use my embossing folders in mine the big ones and the little ones. My mom has used the die cut ones in hers with no problems. She has the tag one and the ribbon slide one and loves them. She only uses the adapter and thats it. HTH.

If you don't have either, I have read that you can use the cuttlebud folders with a large marble rolling pin. Not hard to do and achieves the same result!

This is great to know. Looks like I'll be buying some Cuttlebug folders to use in my Sizzix. Thanks for the info.
