9 inch Opening Die Cutting Machine for Card Making, Foldable A4 Die Cut and Embossing Machine Complete Set for Scrapbooking，DIY Paper Craft (Gift Box)

Five stars for a $60 paper craft die cutting / embossing machine? Yes!!!! I own / use two other die cutting / embossing machines (Find Scrapblooms 9" and the Sizzix Big Shot) and this smaller, less expensive machine is the one I have been using the most. It just works so well! I have had some issues with the Big Shot not cutting cleanly and I had to come up with my own stack of plates to do some embossing folders. No such issues with either Find machines. The 6-inch is very small and light, perfect for crafters working in small places or travelling to a location other than home. I was surprised that the machine came with two magnetic pads, not a feature of its larger brother. Yes the acrylic plates warp a bit but I found turning them over solves any warping issue. I definitely recommend this machine, and not just for the price but for its performance.

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.

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 plate 2. 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 sizes 4. Self healing cutting mat 5. Paper 6. Cutting die 7. $ Tree chopping mat, cut to match size of plates 8. 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.

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.

First one I have had, love it, easy to use. Light weight, small, perfect for me. Securing dyes with blue tape seems to work to keep them from moving. Crank is easy to use, the machine cuts dyes well. Using a double sided tape is great help for some word/small dyes when making cards, and this device cuts the paper & tape just fine. Has been durable. Fun to use. Embossing went well. Recommend.

First time using for embossing and disease t I use, but I think the smaller unit would have worked as well

Was looking for a small embossing tool to use for smaller projects and this worked pretty good. Took awhile to figure out the perfect sandwich for folders vs dies but she works.

This is not real glass..the cutting die cuts and scars this acrylic material..my ocd cant take it

Funktioniert richtig gut und ist stabil

It's a lovely did cut machine but because of arthritis I struggle to turn the handle so unable to use it..I should have bought an electric one !!
