help please

[alibevel]

As I said in the scrap book section I have only been card making for a year and have been given a big shot for christmas and would welcome some advice as to best die and embossing tools to buy

Welcome to UKS, you'll get loads of help from the fab people here
Personally I think the Cuttlebug embossing folders are brilliant, the images are so crisp and deep, as for dies, it's really a matter of what you like to use on your pages, cards etc.
Have fun

I have just bought a bigshot too. Can you use the cuttlebug dies and folders in the bigshot?

[sniggle]

I've just found the answer on a different thread.

The ones I use the most are the cuttlebug spots and swirls

Maybe invest in a few sets of spellbinders nestabilities too

Nestabilities and the cuttlebug embossing folders are fab!

[Mystik Nat]

I am a big Nestabilities user and would really recommend a plain shape set and the matching scallop set to get started with, such as circles large - so versatile and useful.

Don't have a big shot but also have some bigshot dies I use in cardmaking such as frame, ornate #2.

Oh and the cut and emboss butterflies from cuttlebug are good too.

I have a few cuttlebug emboss folders, but mainly use the snowflake and dot one.
