In this post we have taken the time to show you ALL die cutting and embossing machines or tools out there on the market in a basic review. If you want to read about any of these in more depth you may CLICK HERE and click on which machine you would like to know more about! If you have any questions about compatibility,price,features,etc. please leave a comment below.

Briefly before we begin the review we do not necessarily favor one machine over another. All are very unique and made by different manufacturers. So here are some questions you need to answer before you decide which one is right for you.

1. What will you be using the die cutting machine for? (i.e. school projects,work,scrapbooking hobby,parties, your own vinyl lettering business)
2. Do you have arthritis in the hands or other disability?
3. Will you only be cutting or do you want to emboss as well?
4. Up to what size of scrapbook paper do you want to cut and/or emboss? (i.e. 12×12,8×8,6×6,4.5×6)
5. Will you be cutting other materials?
6. Do you want to scrapbook or make cards from a computer,electronic machine, or manual?
7. Does it need to be portable to go to scrapbook home parties or friends house?
8. Does it need to cut all materials like paper,vinyl,fabric,plastic,cork,vellum, etc?.

These are obviously not all the questions you could ask yourself, but should give you an idea if you are ready to start scrapbooking,doing invitations, or making cards of what you should be looking for.

ALSO here below is for our visual learners a video of this post if you would rather watch and listen as we go through the different tools.

===============================================================
Sizzix Big Shot Review
The Big Shot Machine measures approximately 14 1/4″ x 8 1/2″ x 6 1/2″. It has a stylish black and pink colors giving it a feminine touch! It will cut and emboss and is very versatile in cutting fabric,cardstock,paper, and mostly anything in between. It has been around a while now and is always a best seller at a price point of $69.00. It will take all Sizzix dies and other leading brand dies with the proper plates and mats. The only dies it won’t take obviously are those that are 12×12,which would be for the next machine big shot PRO! See VIDEO

Sizzix Big Shot PRO Review
This die cutting and embossing tool is just like the big shot, however it has an opening for using 12 inch paper w/out having to trim. It will take ALL sizzix dies and anything within its huge width opening. Constructed from industrial-strength materials, the Big Shot Pro Machine features a 13 inch opening to cut hundreds of materials. This machine also embosses using the Solo Platform Shim & Wafer Thin Die Adaptor. It price has gone up from what you might have seen it as due to Sizzix Ellison guidelines, however we still have priced at $349.99, which is a steal of a deal. This tool is designed to last forever and could be great for those that want to do school projects or for a teacher. See VIDEO

Sizzix Eclips Shape Cutting Machine Review
The only die cutting machine out that there has a handheld remote and some pretty robust technology. But don’t let that scare you. Their customer support and video tuturials that we have HERE will help you transition smoothly. It can cut all shapes and letters up to 12 inches and even has the ability to let you design your own. It is electronic and is 22 1/2 inches x 5 inches x 7 1/2 inches. It is very fast and accurate and for those who do take the plunge of paying for this machine absolutely LOVE it! We are yet to meet someone that regretted their purchase. The price is steep at $499, but we do have it at $399. Tim Holtz has also done some cartridges for Eclips that actually match with his line of stamps called stamp2cut. Just click on the links if you want to see those. It weights 16.5 lbs, but can be taken anywhere as it is similar like the cricut taking cartridges and is not attached to any computer! You can also do up to 24 inch boarders in length. Here is more to learn about it as there is a lot that this tool has. Click Here. See VIDEO

Sizzix Vagabond inspired by Tim Holtz Review
This tool is an electronic die cutting & embossing machine with a vintage look to it because it is Tim Holtz who designed it along with Sizzix! It resembles a suitcase and opens up from both sides plugs in and you push the button and send your paper with the die through. The Construction of the Vagabond has solid core steel rollers, unibody cast roller housing, solid steel gears, high torque motor and ABS plastic exterior making it a heavy machine, but will last a long time and makes cutting and embossing pretty much effortless. It does have stickers so you can even decorate it as well. Our Price is around $209. See VIDEO

Sizzix Textured Boutique Embossing Machine Review
I like this little machine. It is absolutely priced perfectly for the one that ONLY wants to do embossing cards or A2 size paper. This sells on our site for $26.00. It is a GREAT way to get your feet wet into scrapbooking by starting out with simply embossing cards for a low investment. It takes the textured impressions embossing folders and those by Tim Holtz as well. I’ve heard that you can use the A2 Quickutz and Cuttlebug embossing folders as well, but don’t quote me on that. See VIDEO

Sizzix Vintaj Big Kick Review
This is a Sizzix machine but partnered with Vintaj to create a special edition cut amd emboss tool. This Bigkick sizzix tool will cut,emboss, and etch different designs. Using the vintaj dies you can now make jewelry as well with this. The Vintaj line of DecoEtch dies and DecoEmboss dies HERE go with this machine! Priced at $79.99 on our site from the retail of $99.99. See VIDEO

Spellbinders Grand Calibur Review
The Grand Calibur is Spellbinders Paper Arts latest tool that replaced the Wizard. However, this new design makes rolling dies through a breeze! It will accept 8 1/2 by 11 inch paper if you remove the cutting tray. With a turn of the handle and only weighing 10 lbs it becomes now portable. It will cut,emboss, AND stencil if using Spellbinders Dies! It takes all the Grand Nestabilities. The base keeps it sturdy and has color coded plates for stacking. It will also take all other leading brand dies with the right compatibility. Go HERE to see compatibility. It retails for $139.99, but Cut@Home’s price here is only $119.99. This along with the Big Shot is a BEST seller on our site and seems that Spellbinders can’t keep them in stock! See VIDEO

Spellbinders Presto Punch Review
The Presto Punch was a machine the can cut and emboss with the push of a button for those that have arthritis, however it hasn’t really taken off and the Grand Calibur seems to still be the preferred with its ease of the handle. However, I have included it in the review so you can see its features. It sells for around $55.00. It works like a scrapbook punches system, but with the feature of being automatic. It will eliminate the need for all those paper punches and can store up to 30 designs. It is very simple to use, but kind of lound. It is battery operated taking AA batteries. Size? Well it is 5 1/4 x 4 1/2 x 7 inches. There is nothing really like it out there and the only one of its kind. With 7 free die cut templates that come with the machine makes for a good deal. Perhaps it will catch on! See VIDEO

Quickutz/Lifestyle Crafts Epic Six Review
The Epic Six cutting and embossing tool is very much like the Cuttlebug I think in size and scope. It will accept all Quickutz dies and other leading brand dies. It is very lightweight making it portable. It does have a 6 inch wide opening and built to last with high quality metal insides. Quickutz also provides a lifetime warranty service commitment to all their customers. It is priced at $79.99 on our site and a very versatile tool. It could be a nice option if you have limited crafting space. See VIDEO

Provo Craft Cricut Expression Review
The Cricut Expression was is the MOST popular of the Cricut line of machines even surpassing the cricut 2. It has the 24 inch long ability to cut even a longer shape. The settings on the lcd screen will give you a nice customization for different units of measurements. This will accept existing cartridges you may already have and compares similar to a Cameo except it does NOT connect to a computer and works soley with cartridges. Pricing is around $249.99 online and we sell it for $199.

Provo Craft Cricut Expression 2 Review
There is not much to say about the Expression 2 except that it is very similar to the one mentioned above. It does have a more sleek design with new colors and cuts with al lthe cricut and cricut imagine cartridges,wireless compatibility,color lcd screen with a stylus, no keypad overlay required, and a cutting area light priced at $259.99 and can be seen at $299.99 elsewhere.

Provo Craft Cricut Mini Personal Electronic Cutter Review
This is definitely the electronic cutting space saving design Provo Craft was looking to provide to scrapbookers. It works with Windows or Mac and connects right to the computer similar to the cameo except this is designed to cut shapes from 1/4 inch up to 11 1/4 inch on a 8 1/2 x 12 inch cutting mat. It is for the smaller projects with paper,vinyl, & fabric. Very nice option if you still like the Provo Craft brand, but don’t want the cartridges and need something nice and easy scrapbook tool right from the computer. Sells for $129.99 and we offer it at $115.99.

Provo Craft Cuttlebug Machine v2 Review
Lastly, from ProvoCraft is their manual die cutting and embossing machine. This v2 of cuttlebug replaced the old one bringing it a newer lightweight design, however the great components inside that everyone loves have stayed the same making this such a durable tool. Very much like the Epic Six, but has fold up base,more durable and stronger outer casing with a metal handle that can be pushed into the side. It does have the handle at the top making it portable and a breeze to carry. Retails for around $89.99 and we sell it for $69.95, which is the best price we can do!

Silhouette Cameo Review
Made by Silhouette America, which branched off of Quickutz awhile ago and went more towards the computer electronic tool for home use. This machine plugs into your PC or MAC with a USB cable and instead of a printer it will actually cut paper with a blade or draw with pen. It is loved by those that do vinyl lettering for their home decor or even small home business! One of the distinguishing features from the cricut is that it doesn’t take cartridges. Everything is in the software including the designs! It will cut up to 12 inches wide and 10 feet long. It boasts a quiet motor. See Cameo and Cricut comparison! See VIDEO

Slice ELITE Cordless Digital Design Cutter Review
Like the big shot, the Slice Elite by Making Memories has the right color: PINK! Sells for $139.00 and is a cordless paper cutter. It will cut between 1 inch and 4 inch designs. The Elite compared to the original slice cutter is that the “elite” now cuts 40% faster and twice as deep. it will cut vellum,vinyl,acetate,foam sheets,thin metal sheets, and of course paper! With the LCD 2 monitor makes selecting your designs from the digital design cards easy to see and now has a plate that will hold the tool in place if you do not want to hold it. The Slice Elite works with batteries or a cord. This and the Fabrique would have to be the MOST PORTABLE and smallest die cutting machine out there. With 100′s of design cards that are the size of an SD camera card you can store them very easily. See VIDEO

Slice Fabrique Cordless Fabric Cutter Review
Now this digital cutter takes us out of the scrapbooking realm a bit and into the sewing by Making Memories as well. This revolutionary tool makes fabric cutting FUN that only helps with quilting. It takes digital cards with tons of designs on each. It is cordless like the Slice Elite, the only differences really are that it has some specific design cards that can only be used with cutting Fabric. It prices as $129.99. See VIDEO

I hope this along with the videos and pictures gives you a better idea on how and where to buy a die cutting machine. However WARNING once you start die cutting & embossing your pages or cards, it then becomes an addiction! But a great one at that.

Okay, so I admit that I don’t usually go all out for cupcakes. Most of the time they don’t last long enough around my place to even get them all frosted, so I had to be sneaky and make a batch while no one was home! I really wanted to make some fun cupcakes using Quickutz Spring Flowers die (HERE) from their Blossom Collection. Ever since I got it, I wanted to put them on cupcakes! I know….sometimes we just have funny ideas that won’t get out of our heads. Oh well! I had a blast making these and my granddaughter loved them! (I don’t know if she noticed the cute flowers and wrappers, but she did love the cupcakes!)

Products used:

Quickutz DR0297- Spring Flowers

Quickutz DC0129-Botanical Cupcake Liner

Quickutz DC0121-Cupcake Stand

Tim Holtz 92841-Grungepaper 6×12 (for stand)

DCWV PS-005-00202-Chateau Lavender Solid Cardstock Stack 12×12

Not only were they eye catching, but they tasted good and made my house smell yummy! Of coarse, I had to take a picture quick before they were devoured when everyone came home, but it was all worth it with all the fun I had! Have a great weekend!

Thanks & Happy Scrappin’!

If you are in the market for an electronic die cutting machine, you will want to be sure to include the Sizzix Eclips Starter Kit to your list of machines to look at!

I had the unique opportunity to take one home as a loaner for a couple of weeks to get familiar with the machine so I could better help with customer questions. Let me tell you right now, I have had to use a TON of self control ever since to NOT purchase this machine for my own scrapbook room! I absolutely LOVE this machine! I had so much fun playing around with the Eclips. It is very user friendly and the handheld control is SO nice! Anyone can use this machine!

The Sizzix eclips Electronic Shape-Cutting Machine and Handheld Remote Control creates completely customizable shapes and letters to adorn almost anything up to 12 inches. That’s right the award-winning artwork is now available electronically from Sizzix!

Eclips Starter Kit includes:

Machine Size = 22 1/2 in. x 5 in. x 7 1/2 in.

Weight = 16.5 pounds

Machine functions:

Pieces- This separates individual pieces of selected image with no guess work as to the individual sizing of the individual pieces. Very nice!

Being able to select paper size-Fabulous!

Being able to select material that you will be cutting, which automatically sets the speed and blade depth.  Again, fabulous!

Cartridges- Smaller cartridges and packaging make these easy to store. The images and fonts are SO fun and I love the fact that you can change cartridges while machine is on, right in the middle of your project, putting images from different cartridges in the same que for cutting! Awesome!

There is so much more that I could say about the features of this machine, but today’s blog is probably long enough for now! This machine is definitely one to consider when you are looking for a personal electronic die cutting machine. It is really a sweet machine!

Here are a couple pages I did while playing with the Eclips. And, you can finally see my new grandson!

Provo Craft Cuttlebug

M-Bossabilities in Epic Six Tool

You will not be able to use the cutting mat on top of the M-Bossabilities folder with this machine. If you need to use a shim of 2-3 pieces of cardstock for a deeper impression, place the shim on the bottom of the folder (between the folder and embossing plate) so they don’t get caught in the rollers.

Feel free to leave a comment if you would like to see other demos done! You can CLICK HERE to see all M-Bossabilities by Spellbinders Paper Arts!

So we know how much everyone loves to use the cuttlebug embossing folders, but we thought we would show you how you can ALSO use the Spellbinders M-bossabilities in the Provo Craft Cuttlebug machine.

Well then just click on the machine you would like to see demonostrated: Sizzix Big Shot & PRO, Quickutz Epic Six, and Vagabond electronic die cutting machine

How do they do that?

I love springtime! It revitalizes me and helps my creative juices flowing. Having such beautiful weather inspired this little gift box using Sizzix Framelits Die Set 6PK w/ Stamp Dragonflies ( item seen HERE).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Project recipe:

657579-Sizzix Framelits Die Set 6PK w/ Stamp Dragonflies

656600-Sizzix Bigz Pro Die – Box, Tall with Scallop Flap (used with the Big Shot Pro Machine)

FEPAD044-First Edition is Spring Drop 12×12 paper pad

Black ink pad

This project doesn’t even need explaining it was so easy! The Framelits make stamping the die and cutting it out a breeze! There is a back ground die and the die that fits the stamp. Anyone can do this! This project literally took me about a half hour from start to finish.

This box is a perfect little gift!

Thanks & Happy Scrappin’!
