Death of Cuttlebug

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!

I was using one of the Cuttlebug embossing folders and the bug made a terrible noise and this happened:



I popped it back together but now it won't cut or emboss - any suggestions? I've had it over a year and not sure who I bought it from. Total crafting disaster, I think I may cry!

  4. Oh no! This is why I opted for a big shot, I'd been told they're more robust and I'm so clumsy I didn't think I should take any chances! Hope you can get it sorted! Lisa x

  7. YIKES! Oh how very sad!! There has been a few times when I think my Cuttlebug won't handle what I have put through and vow to be gentle with it next time LOL.

    I found this on the internet:
    The reason this is happening is because the metal casting (inside the green plastic casing) on one side (where the driving cogs are) has cracked due to trying to force through something that was too thick..

    Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done with it apart from complain to the manufacturer.

    I don't know if this is your problem or not, but it is the only thing I could find :(

  9. Oh sweetheart - I feel your pain!!!! Do have a cry - I would :(

    Don't know what else to say, personally I would be inconsolable (I know, I know - I'm making it worse) I'd better leave it there, big hugs & kisses Victoria XOXO

  15. This happened to me earlier this year! I phoned Provocraft and they sent me a new one, with no charge. I'd also had mine for about a year. So get on the phone!

  19. oh nooooooooooooo I'd think I'd cry too! My BigShot cutting plates have curled up with use, (They made a terrible noise when they go through!)but they'll have to snap in half before I use my new ones! ...or maybe I'd better throw them away, just in case this happens!! oh noooooooo!

  20. I could manage without a few bit of kit, but the bug ain't one of them.
    Turn on the charm and see if you an get a new one like Elaine.
    If you tell them you'd publish on your blog what a wonderful company Provocraft is to replace it, they might think kindly on you!

  21. Oh No Victoria! This is not good! Your poor ole' bug. Maybe it has decided to retire!
