If you have a silhouette cameo and and cricut expressions do I still need the vagabond? I want to emboss. what all should I buy to go with the vagabon

The Vagabond is the electric version of the Cuttlebug and other cutters and emboss ears. It's not like the circuit or silhouette. There are tons of die cuts and embossing folders that can be used with the cutting/embossing machines. Look at Spleebinders web site, Provo and Sizzex to get an idea of what is available. It's a totally different realm than the cricut type machines. Hope this helpe

Hi on the Silhouette blog it will show you what it comes with ahead of time. I will tell you that mostof them are really basic.

This embosser is the current model but NOT the NEW ONE. That one is called New Blue Cricut Cuttlebug. It was just released there IS a new Cuttlebug and according to this new link they can be pre-ordered at Amazon and available Nov 1 2013, but I cannot find that option on Amazon's site???? http://www.4-traders.com/news/Cricut-Introduces-New-Blue-Cricut-Cuttlebug-Embosser-and-Die-Cutter--17332113/ The current model hasn't been out very long (a few years maybe) and was not as nice as the original model they replaced it with. Maybe this new one will be better! Longer plates and loading shelf would be nice!! That's all I know! Mine broke in earlier this year and I went out and got a Tim Holz Vagabond which is WONDERFUL and much more versatile and only about $139 last I saw here at Amazon with free shipping. My choice hands down to Cuttlebug, and if I wanted a manual machine again I would buy the Sizzix Big Shot which interchanges with all the Vagabond plates etc!

I would suggest a stronger vinyl. Look at your local print shop. I use 751 c or 651 Oracle . I use my Silhouette vinyl for projects for tiles, that stay in the house. You can also order the Oracle on line.. just type in Oracle vinyl online. Good Luck!!!

I love this palette! I don't have the UD Naked palettes, but the colors look very similar. They're very pigmented. I always use a primer, so I'm not sure how they'd be without one. You definitely can't go wrong for the price! I just received the Revealed 2 palette in the mail today. I'm excited to try it out! They were just released. Hope this helps! :)

Hi! This one is the starter kit which comes with a couple of framlets, embossing folders, etc.. I highly recommend for beginners it helped me figure out what everything was before I started buying stuff. The other one looks like its just the machine. Kathy

I preordered the Maya. I really like the graphite black frame, and besides I always like to be a little unique! http://www.pishposhbaby.com/uppa-baby-vista-maya-limited-edition.html . I think the picture is pretty clear on it too.

Well Cindy, that is something I haven't ever tried....give me a minute to run it through my Big Shot and I will let you know. How's that? DRUM ROLL....for dramatic effect!!! I used an embossing folder by Darice mainly for the style of design and it worked beautifully. I ran one piece through several times and it looks OK while having a slight curve in it like most paper or card stock. Then I ran a second piece through once then back to the starting position because it is easier to remove the folder from that position and it looks great too, without quite as much curve. The flower design is embossed in the plastic very well with no tearing or milky look around the edges, that I was concerned about. I chose this folder because the design has several sizes of daisy like flowers, some swirls formed from dots and also a couple tiny hearts. Besides the curve I can see no difference in the results. None of the designs in the folder caused a puncture in the plastic especially the dotted swirls. I believe you would be very happy with the Cuttlebug results too. So go for it...and by the way, thanks for asking, I love passing along information that I have learned so others can increase their knowledge and fun in their creativity. Don't forget you can stamp on this with a permanent ink too and color it. Have fun!

Is the handle turning? If so is the item your embossing thick enough? Sometimes I've added thick paper under my plate to raise it do I can emboss paper. If it's metal your embossing is it too thick? The vintaj thickness works great, and should feel a slight pressure while turning the handle. Hope this helps. Stick with it the machine does work great :)

Hi, That should be correct. If you purchase images online and or link your cartridges to craft room, you shouldn't need the overlay. Have fun with your cricut. DF

I have the Cricut Expression so I am not sure! I buy a lot of blades however and I have never noticed that they ask that question. Can't speak for the Explorer but my daughter has the basic & we have bought the same blades together!

This software is really old.....it is before they had the Cricut Craft Room...they no longer update the Design Studio with newer designs. I do not know if it would work on Cricut Explore, however, the cricut site for the Explore does support cutting, designing etc. is a lot newer and can do more stuff than the Design Studio did. Now, there is also some software out there you may want to check into--Sure Cuts A Lot by Craft Edge. They have developed some new software that is compatible with the Cricut Explore. I do not know anymore about it other than that---check out their website and you can email them with questions as to what all it can do for you! Hope this answers your questions and adds some additional info for you!

Hello I do not experience it (silhouette cameo) Bazzles device goes a beautiful but not as I want it printed accurately about but go well if I learned most settings suitable for cutting

I have a silhouette but I don't have the cricut explore. But from what I understand the biggest difference is that you have to have internet access while operating the explore. With the cameo, you have the option to upload a design from an SD card and you don't need internet access to operate it.

No. You can modify Cricut's designs to a certain extent, but if you want to do your own designing, you should get a Silhouette Cameo machine, which comes with an amazingly powerful design software, plus the ability to purchase -- one at a time, if you like, instead of a whole cartridge -- beautiful, complex, sophisticated designs to cut as well. Once you get the hang of importing your own designs into the Silhouette, it's easy and great fun. You can download the software for free and check it out. The Cricut DesignStudio has been made obsolete by Cricut's online Cricut CraftRoom program, which is kind of a cross between an online, cloud-based cartridge collection, a Gypsy, and this DesignStudio, and it's free. Download it from the Cricut site and enjoy playing around with every design they have ever made, though you have to own and register the cartridge, or purchase the online-only designs, in order to be able to actually cut them. To actually use the program to cut with, you will have to attach your Cricut to your computer and put it through the "update" process, always a nail-biter, but my Cricut was purchased used and is probably five years old, and it updated with no problem. If you have a Gypsy you KNOW what a massive improvement this Craft Room program represents. I am not sure this DesignStudio program is being supported anymore.

All of sizzix dies are able to be used on the big shot. You can also use the embossing folders as well. Hope that helps.
