I have 4 for thinlits and embossing folders. An older Cricut cuttlebug, a Big Kick, a tiny Prizm Spellbiders, and my newest one, the Big Shot Switch Plus.
The Cuttlebug, I have it at school. I usually forget about the Prizm since I keep it in its box. Mostly I use the Big Shot. I’m still holding on to the Big Kick. It sits on a shelf.
Last night I saw a video where they were using a machine without adding the top plate. I’ve always used the 2 plates.
I have a Cricut Explore Air2 that I use frequently and I love it! I also have 2 Cuttlebugs, an electronic Empress and a Big Shot. My favorite is the Big Shot. The Empress is horrible...it just doesn't cut evenly so you have to keep turning the sandwhich around to get the whole die cut cut out.
I have a Cricut Maker but can't get it to work. I don't have the time or patience to figure it out but I need to so I can get back to it. I also have a big shot and love it. I have LOTS of dies and folders, etc.
I have a Silhouette Cameo but rarely use it. I will pull out my old Cricut Cuttlebug first, it's just easier. I also have a Sizzix Big Shot that I rarely use, but it's there if my Cuttlebug ever breaks. Like Tamara, I have quite a few dies and folders.
