Die Cutting Machine for Card Making, Foldable Embossing Machine for Scrapbooking，DIY Paper Craft (Gift Box), 9" Openning

If you’re looking to DIY your own embossing wedding invitations or any invitations this is the machine to buy. It is easy to put together and the quality is very good. It comes with everything you need to start embossing or die cutting. The acrylic plates are heavy weight and not flimsy so your embossing comes out perfect every time. I love the fact that the opening area is larger than most so that if you’re embossing only the corners like I did then your cards will fit right in. There are different thickness plates so you do have to see which ones will make it through the crank and pass through. So if you’re looking to save some money and making your own invitations this is a great purchase. It adds elegance and luxury. It really makes your invitations look expensive.

really good. i got the 9 inch one. idk anything about embossing so i used CHAT GPT to help me Lol. at first i put too much and it made almost a cracking sound so i took off a plate and it just added the stock card paper and it works fine! the embossing folders are kind of small. i’m using 5x7 envelopes and i’ll show the indentations below that the embosser makes. i ordered more embossing folders that are 5x7 so hopefully that helps. for now i’ll just use it for the flap of the envelope!

This hand-crank die cutter is a workhorse. I have extensively used it to cut delicate designs to large, multiple pieces. I do not have any issues with different thicknesses of embossing folders either. The key are the shims that I use to make the proper pressure for whatever it is that I am cutting. I always use the solid white plastic plate. From there I will use either the 3mm or the 2mm plexiglass sheet, a piece of copier paper, my card stock with the die facing cutting side down, two or three more sheets of copier paper, another plexiglass sheet, and if the die is very thin, then very thin plastic food cutting "boards" at the top of the stack. Do Not force too thick of a stack as this might cause damage to the cutter. Another tip is when cutting a die with little extra paper to spare, use a tiny piece of scotch tape to tape the die down.I like the die cutter's light weight and compact design. Hand crank, so I am not bothered by cords or electricity issues.

Works well, the clear hard sheets bends easily otherwise works well

I was so excited for this machine yet a little scared at the same time just due to the expense. I am a crafter & watercolor artist but thought I would expand my horizons with this product. Got the machine out of the box, it was neatly packaged & protected by styrofoam but was taken by how extremely heavy it was yet makes sense considering what it’s supposed to do. I used regular card stock paper nothing fancy or costly. Step by step, as I was using the machine per the manufacturer instructions, I heard an awful cracking noise & literally thought that the clear plastic was shattering! Once it was done, I was very disappointed to see that the plastic shield had indentions from the die that came with it! Omg!!!! I thought that I had done something wrong so I reread the instructions and watched the video tutorial several more times to ensure that I was using it properly and was confident that I used it correctly. So, I put another die in & repeated the same steps & yep, same sound & same indentions on the plastic. I don’t like to give negative feedback but as you can clearly see by the pictures, it doesn’t work as well as it should for the cost ($100). Maybe use a thicker type of paper but not exactly sure about that. I may go ahead & invest in a Cricket after all.

I had been toying with getting this for awhile. I bought the 9" and am very happy with it. I can send 2 embossing folders through at the she time. I can also, do many die cuts at once. Spend the extra, its worth it! One run through cutting and embossing. Super easy to use. Love it!I searched the internet for all kinds of hints and tricks to help me. I'm glad I did!I have a problem with wear and tear on the things I own so I search for ways to delay it. One tip I found to avoid a marked up plate was to use a cutting mat (the dollar tree mats are too soft and don't work) to stop the etching in the plates when die cutting. But the cutting mats are too thick to use all the plates provided.So through some experimenting I found what works for me. I layer my plates like this... All this will depend on the thickness of your cutting mat.1. 13mm plate2. 2mm plate (I think switched #'s 2 and 3 in the video 😉. It works either way)3. $Tree chopping mat, cut to match the other plate sizes4. Self healing cutting mat5. Paper6. Cutting die7. $ Tree chopping mat, cut to match size of plates8. 3mm plate.I don't use the second 3mm plate.For embossing I layer my plates the same as cutting dies but I don't use the self healing cutting mat. 13mm, 2mm, chopping mat, Embossing folder, chopping mat, 3mm. Again, I don't use the second 3mm plate.You won't regret this purchase.

Muy bueno gracias

I am not a huge card maker, so this machine is great for my needs. It is small enough to store easily, simple to use and does a very good job of embossing. I would recommend it.

Funktioniert richtig gut und ist stabil
