Die Cut Machines – A Public Review

There is no doubt that die-cutting is really cool. Especially considering it can now be done at home with a desktop machine that costs anywhere from $50.00 – $500.00+.

Before die cutting was ONLY exclusive to print shops. And it was expensive! I know because I used to work at one. The dies alone would cost anywhere from $100 – $2000 to make as they needed to be hand crafted more often than not. AND they were almost always exclusive to the buyer of that die. Therefore that buyer needed to know that it was worth his / her companies interest to take that route before even doing so.

Granted some dies were available to everyone – but more or less this is an expensive trade. Not any longer.

At least not for scrapbookers. So today instead of Scrapbooking Directions putting its opinion out there on Die Cutters, we want to ask the public for theirs.

We want YOUR feedback if you have a die machine. Esp. if you have many die cut machines.

We want to know why you chose the machine you did. Your opion (comments) will help others make the decision for themselves.  It’s not a low cost invesment so it’s one that many scrapbookers would REALLY appreciate honest feedback on.

So please leave your comments.

Tell us which die cutting machine you have and why you chose it? Was it price, was it the library of dies, was it the ability to work with OTHER dies (being a universal die cutter), does it emboss also? Is it one of the only die cutters that can work with heavy duty double sided adhesives without wearing down the machine? [These are all of the reasons we chose the cuttlebug diecutter].

But what’s your story.

Please share.
