I love my little Sidekick for fast, small die cuts. I have not tried the embossing folders. It will take the Cuttlebug dies, but it sounds like something is going to break when I run them through. So I don't do that anymore. Using the Sizzlets fonts in the Sidekick is a bit tedious. Take out a letter, line up the cardstock, make sure the right side of the paper is the right way, sandwich it in acrylic, cut it, add adhesive ... then go to the next letter and do it again. I guess it's sort of a love-hate relationship. I love it for small hearts, stars, circles -- shapes I want to use a lot. It beats getting out the Sizzix or the Cricut (yes I have those too, lol).
