They were not in my budget, and who needs all those expensive cartridges taking up space. But when WalMart had the Cricut so cheap last year on Black Friday I had my MIL get me one. She works there, so got an additionl discount. I think she paid $112. It came with 2 cartridges. I have since bought 2 more. I bought Fabulous Finds which was on sale for $40. This is a big savings in the long run because I no longer have to spend all the money on metal hardware, I just cut out what I want and emboss it in silver, gold, or whatever metal I am in need of. I also recently bought Paper Pups. Normally this would not be something I would want. And I really only bought it for 1 item on it. But since I have to make a couple hundred cards with a dog bone on it, it is a huge time saver over stamping them and cutting them out. I was unable to find a punch in the right size, so the cartridge was perfect. And it was only $50 including shipping. I think I may find a couple more along the way that I will like, for now I am happy with the 4 I have. There are hundreds of images on those 4. Thousands if you consider all the differnt sizes each one can be.Another Loock Creationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319010528908869623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367322313694607284.post-31835165180053718112008-08-23T10:17:00.000-07:002008-08-23T10:17:00.000-07:00I have a wishblade. got it off of ebay for $150, ...I have a wishblade. got it off of ebay for $150, but they retail for $400 plus. I love it and haven't had to put more money into it yet. I joined the yahoo group wishblade and they share .gps files (i think that is what they are called). It is the same machine as the silloute and the robocut.InkyAndScrappyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02232374313755971588noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367322313694607284.post-12279045108500931142008-08-23T08:04:00.000-07:002008-08-23T08:04:00.000-07:00Hi Charlene,The Cuttlebug is a great machine, and ...Hi Charlene,<BR/><BR/>The Cuttlebug is a great machine, and with a coupon you can pick one up for less then $50. The difference is that these electronic machines can cut an image in numerous sizes, the cuttlebug dies only cut in one size, for a different size you have to buy a different die.<BR/><BR/>Also, the Cuttlebug can emboss, which the Cricut cannot do, nor the Slice (from what I could see)Jheffnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167001257931517327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8367322313694607284.post-35970575762232476192008-08-23T06:01:00.000-07:002008-08-23T06:01:00.000-07:00The "slice" looks great.
