best machine for a newbie

[marie gillon]

Hi I am new to cardmaking and would appreciate some advice on what you think best cutting machine for me to purchase would like to get one with a starter kit thanks.

I started out with a Cuttlebug - following GinaK's tutorial, I found it to be an easy one to use. It can take just about any die or folder with great results.

I too use a Cuttlebug and I think it is great.

thanks is the cuttlebug the one they use on c&c tv as that does look easy enough for myself and not too expensive if I remember right big shot grand caliper have also been suggested also e bosser I'm going to research them all but I've  feeling cuttlebug would be a good starting point however I've read that the newer one does not come with a c plate which I believe is required for cutting.
