Mini Die Cutting Machine, 3 inch Embossing Machine for Scrapbooking,Cardmaking, 3 1/8" Feeding Slot

REVISED: Started as 1 star and is now a 5 star review. The seller did what was needed to correct the error of sending me a used/returned machine that was missing one of the plates needed for embossing. They were very helpful and had excellent communication. Now I’m able to emboss with all the correct parts in hand. Thank you for making a bad situation turn a useless machine into a very good experience for both die cutting and embossing for.very small projects.ORIGINAL REVIEW:*Fine for die cutting. DOES NOT WORK AT ALL FOR EMBOSSING. (And I am very experienced with various embossing devises)I’m keeping it for small die cut projects as it is conveniently small but would NOT recommend for mini embossing. Fortunately for me I have another machine I have to get out for embossing or I would have sent it back.

Do not buy. I had to return and have a replacement sent, only for the replacement to stop working just the like 1st one. I'm a week late in returning because the return window is closed. It worked well until it didn't. There's something going on with the internal mechanics. It's like after a certain amount of turns, it stops.Update 3/26/25. I was contacted by the seller and they had excellent customer service in helping me to resolve my issues. I'm changing my review from 1 to 5 star because of them sending me a replacement.

Not what I expected. Does not work well . You can't use the plates to do anything. The gap space is not correct. Basically it just sits in a corner.

Works very well for small die cutting.

Me gusta mucho esta máquina… corta muy bien, es pequeña por lo q es fácil de guardar y transportar… lo suficientemente robusta

I was initially disappointed in this machine. The die cut the image okay but the handle is hard to turn. One of the least expensive among the mini die cut machines for good reason. With more use, it appears to function better. It is nice to have around for small jobs. It cuts well with paper or thin cardstock but does not do well with heavier cardstock like that from Stampin' Up!

This is a cute little die machine for those jobs that do not require the larger machine. I can take this out to the kitchen table where I can make parts that I can put together later, cut pieces to assemble, there are so small bits that are handy for projects.I love that this die cutter folds up so it takes up a very small amount of space. It would be super to travel with and craft with friends.It works smoothly and will take a 3 inch paper so that is pretty good. Many dies are small enough to use in this machine. It uses and comes with standard cutting plates.The machine cut very well, applying enough pressure to easily do the job. It cut the 3 butterfly dies that came with the set cleanly.This machine can also run the small strip embossing folders. I have a selection of them, and this might encourage me to get them out and use them more. It came with 3 different folders and they are all nice nature designs. They worked great.A bonus with the set was a stamp set with basic sentiments and some good basic shapes that are often used in card-making. A small sample of paper also came with the set so you have a few colors to get started if you don’t already.This is a nice little die cutting machine. Many of us who have larger machines enjoy having a smaller one we can take on the go, or just go into another room to do some cutting with. Sometimes I like to have a second machine set up when I am making more cards like at Christmas. Die cutting is fun, and a great way to make your own embellishments and designs for homemade cards. It’s an enjoyable art and hobby.I will be putting this through it's paces more through the next months and if it doesn't hold up well I will update this review. At this time I think it's a good value as a mini cutter.

I really wanted to get my hands on one of these but they can be expensive ,ND I have no experience, I do have a cricut and I love it but sometimes you don't want the bells and whistles . This is a great introduction to die cutters and embossing and I think I will invest in a larger machine by Christmas 😀 . Until then I recommend. It has everything you need to get started. And it was fun😁
