Cuttlebug vs. Sizzix die cutting machines?
I'm looking for a die-cutting machine, mainly to cut through aluminum / Metal thin (soda cans, etc.) but also use it for scrapbooking. Would you recommend or Cuttlebug Sizzix machine? Advantages / disadvantages of each? Thank you! Note: I do not want to cut anything except maybe 5x5 ", most of what I want to cut will be only a few centimeters (small loops Ear shape metal, necklaces, etc.)
I know nothing about the Sizzix, but I've heard of him. However, I do not have a Cuttlebug and love it and have no disadvantages. I use it for cutting and embossing. It is easy to use and you can find a ton of mussels and embossing folders for it. You can also use Sizzix dies with him. I can not imagine not loving it. You could also try a Cricut Expressions, or since you are working on a smaller scale, try the regular Cricut or Cricut Create (By Provo Craft). Their website is www.cricut.com but you can find products cheaper in places like www.customcrops.com www.scrapbookpals.com or even Ebay. I hope this helps a little.
