Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine available on 1/5/2021!

WOO HOO!!

So what sets our machines apart from the rest? Here are some of our favorite features:

 

• Durable machines with high-quality results. The solid steel construction frame and rubber feet that securely grip the work surface produce crisp, clean, precise cutting and beautifully detailed embossing.
• Easy to use. The machines and tools are designed for an intuitive die-cutting and embossing experience. For example, all plates are labeled with a number and are color coded for easy reference and use when building your sandwich. And just like the name suggests, our Magnetic Cutting Plates have fully-magnetic surfaces to make it easy to securely position your dies and keep them in place.
• Simple to store. The platforms on both machines fold for space-saving storage and they look pretty too–the sleek, clean design suits any crafting space.
• Portable. You can use both machines at home or on the go with their folding platforms and ergonomic carrying handles. This makes it easy to showcase the product line in your classes and workshops! It’s also convenient for your customers who like to attend crops or other crafting get togethers.

What is the difference between the 2 Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machines?  Here are the Machine Highlights for both of them!

Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine-

*Smaller 3-1/2" (8.9 cm) platform for your on-the-go crafting options.

Weighs approximately 2.7 pounds (1.22 kg). Lightweight, compact, and portable. Platform folds to make transporting easy and to take up less space when storing.

*Works with Stampin’ Cut & Emboss dies and embossing folders that are narrower than 3-3/8" (8.6 cm). Dies and embossing folders that are compatible with the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine are indicated in the product description in our catalogs and online store.

*Perfect for new or casual crafters who want a smaller machine that offers a high-quality die-cutting and embossing experience. It’s also great for all crafters who like to create on the go. We encourage you to market it to customers who: Are limited on space or on a tight budget. Craft away from home, for example at crops, retreats, or on vacation.
