decisions, decisions

Will soon be my birthday..yippee...and of course have to spend my hubbys money (theres not much of it this year) I have always been interested in an embossing/die cutting machine but can't decide which is the best, have got some fiskars freehand embossing boards so could ideally do with something that would take them, but then am looking for something that would do A5 size
Thank you
chris

OOO a spend xx if I were you I'd go with the Big Shot, I got myself one last year and it has proved to be one of the best investments I've ever made, it's sturdy as heck and of course most dies are compatible with it too and of course Sizzix have their own fab range of dies etc, I've used the Cuttlebug, got a loan of it from a friend here on the forum , ok it's more compact but I still prefer the Big Shot, shop around I got mines for £54 deliverd from ebay, good luck with choosing and Happy Birthday when it comes around xxx TC Diane xx

I have had a cuttlebug for a few years now and love it. Last October I treated myself to a bigshot when I was at the SECC. It is good too. The problem I have is that turning the handle triggers my tennis elbows so I have to ration how often I use it.

Hope you have a great birthday and I am sure you will love whichever machine you get.
