I recently started stamping and Tim Holtz products were the most readily available at my local craft stores. After using the products and doing some internet research I absolutely fell love with all things Tim Holtz! He is amazing! When I saw the Vagabond on the internet I was immediately intrigued and wanted to know more about it. I am all about online shopping and I do my research before I commit. I look at as many websites as possible and read all the reviews I can find. Overstock had the best deal available even before applying the coupon so I am very pleased with the deal I got! I've never used anything like the Vagabond before so I wasn't really sure how it worked but Tim Holtz has excellent videos on his site so that gave me a pretty good idea of how it worked. After waiting not so patiently through the Thanksgiving holiday to get the Vagabond I was ecstatic when it was delivered and started using it immediately. In anticipation of it arriving combined with some really good sales at *** I was prepared! I started cranking out rosettes with the Sizzlits Decoreative Strip Die. I love them! I am building my collection of dies and being as crafty as possible with Christmas decorations, cards, etc... This is the best birthday gift I have every gotten and if I didn't have a job I would be using it constantly! The only downside for me so far is the price of the dies. I shop at both *** and *** and there are ALWAYS coupons available for 40% to 50% off which has been extremely helpful. Unfortunately they don't have a gigantic selections of dies. Hobby Lobby is better than Michaels but I've had some problems finding what I want locally. *** has tons of dies so I've gotten a few there. Occassionally the sizzix online store has some fairly decent deals but what I love is that they have an outlet store with dies for as much as 80% off. I recently placed an order for $290.00 worth of merchandise and paid $105.00! I get really excited about saving money! All I can say is do your research before you buy and make sure it is what you want!
Wonderful product. After using a manual die cut machine for about two years, this motorized version is a blessing. Would recommend it to anyone who enjoys die cutting and especially those who have problems with arthritic hands or poor hand strength.
I love my Vagabond! First thing I did when I got it, was to use the awesome dies I had purchased to cut up the carton it came in - got all kinds of tags, flowers, etc to use in my crafting!!!! A fun way to recycle!!! I used to have a Sissix but it would not cut much more than cardstock - this will cut all kinds of materials - I haven't even begun to tap the surface when it comes to creativity with my Vagabond!!!!! Great price!! Thanks, O!!!!!!
I love the Vagabond. If I didn't, I wouldn't be spending money on a second one after my first one broke. But when that first one broke, Sizzix made a real stink about not upholding their end of the deal on the warranty, so if this one breaks (and Sizzix balks at replacing it), I'll have to give up on the Vagabond for good. My experience with Overstock was perfect. My order came quickly and was exactly what I wanted--and $75 cheaper than the usual in-store price for this product.
I have a Cuttlebug and a Grand Calibur but the Vagabond is so much easier and quicker to use. I love that I can send something thru one way and then with the flip of a switch send it through the other way, just to make sure I've cut all the way through with those dies that sometimes give me a little trouble. I also appreciate that I don't have to crank anything, the machine is solid and stable, doesn't more and that its surprisingly quiet, not noiseless and certainly makes more noise than my hand crank machines but I can still work on projects at night without disturbing my sleeping hubby in the bedroom next door. I am really liking this machine! Just a few things that could have made it better and I would have given a 5 star rating for- 1. It needs a longer cord. The one included is seriously short, well much shorter than I need to reach the outlet I have to plug it into which requires me to have to set up an additional table near my computer so I can plug it in. 2. Larger opening to allow for large "Grand Calibur" dies. It would be nice to only have to have ONE machine that would do it all!
I have owned a Big Shot and a Cuttlebug for the past few years and have wanted a Vagabond pretty much since the day I first saw Tim Holtz introduce it to the market. It's been on my "wish list" for about two years and I was thrilled to find one at Overstock at such an amazing price!! As a card-maker who also has arthritis and fibromyalgia, I was having more and more difficultty with the manual machines, making this a huge plus for me. I'm a huge fan of die cuts and literally own at least 100 dies. Now having the ability to push a button and cut even the most intricate die with perfect results, is a breeze. I can also cut multiples so much more quickly than ever before with any other manual machine. I highly recommend this machine and even more so, recommend you buy it HERE, because I have never seen a price this good! ENJOY and Happy Crafting!!
This machine is totally awesome. Tim Holtz products are all top of the line. I would reccommend any and everything with Tims' name on it. You will be so glad you purchased this machine, I know I am. It is coompact and easy to travel with. I JUST LUV IT!!!!!
I have only used this a couple of times to cut sheet aluminum from soda cans and to emboss the aluminum. I have bee pleased with the results.
I am very happy with the Vagabond. However, I found that I had to purchase the Solo Thin Die Adapter. The machine does not come with this shim and you need it to cut out the very thin dies, like framelits, nestabilities, etc. It works great once you get the adapter.
This is such a great machine! I've used the Cuttlebug crank machine for years and I finally broke down to get this electric machine because it can get tiring cranking when working on big projects. I am so glad I got this! I just love it, it cuts amazing, quick, in either direction and the mats are great because they tell you the sandwich to use right on them. Just so you know, you do have to hold the button down the whole time it's going through the machine which I wasn't sure I would like, but it goes through so quick it doesn't bug me at all. I also use electronic die cutters (Silhouette and Cricut), but I think this is the best machine you can buy for your manual dies!
