Stampin' Up! Warm & Toasty

 This is a card I made last week with some left over pieces I had laying on my counter.

As you look at the card you are probably wondering what those dots are??
Honestly- they are left over pieces from the holes that Deke punched out for me 
for the calendars that we made in December at classes.  
And I put these little card stock dots into a clear envelope & made this a shaker card!

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:

 11.03.20_TH_SHAREABLE_MINI_MACHINE_PREORDER_ENG

  • 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.

*Simple to make a sandwich. Includes plates that are labeled with a number and are color coded for easy use.

*All the plates you need to get started are included: 1 Mini Base Plate (Plate 1), 2 Mini Cutting Plates (Plate 2), 1 Mini Embossing Plate (Plate 3), and 1 Mini 3D Embossing Plate (Plate 4).

Note: 3D embossing folders that are compatible with the mini machine are not part of our initial product launch, however we anticipate being able to add these to our product offering later in 2021.

*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.

   

Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine-  

*Wide 6" (15.2 cm) platform for all your crafting needs.


Weighs approximately 8.1 pounds (3.67 kg). Platform folds to make transporting easy and to take up less space when storing.
