I just purchased this little machine from Temu, and it's due to arrive in a couple of days! I'm glad I ordered the A and B plates too, as I'm new to die cutting, and wasn't sure if I had to have them too. They don't come with the machine I don't think. I also ordered a few of the smaller die cuts, hoping they will fit in this machine! Thank you for this video, as it gives me a better idea of what to expect.
It does come with a set of plates, but it is good to have extra sets on hand. I love my machine!!! I hope that you will love yours too :o) Thanks for watching my video.
@@erikshappywife Thanks, that's good to know, about the plates! I am going to order the little cats you showed in this video too. Do you have any suggestions for other dies that will fit in this mini machine, please? Thanks again!
@@erikshappywife Maryjane Seifried 8:20 PM (1 minute ago) Yes, I was happy it had plates. I tried it out on several types of paper and it works great. I'm pleased with it so far.
Does this machine make stencils? Like flexible stencils? My apologies if the question seems dumb, I’m looking for something to make stencils but not wanting to spend hundreds on a machine and apps
There will be some resistance, and the top plate will come up a bit (toward you, not the machine). It takes a little force to roll them through, that's what makes them cut...it shouldn't be really hard, just a little. I hope this helps.
I use either my Spellbinder or my Sizzix Big Shot, depending on which one I can get to easily at the moment AND depending on the thickness of the die. If it is a thick one, I use the Big Shot.
It does not come with any embossing folders or dies. It is really small. I can't give you measurements because I let someone barrow it and have not gotten it back yet :o( It is REALLY great for cutting with small dies for card making and stuff, but some dies I have for cards are too big for it. I am sorry, I know I'm not being much help.
@@erikshappywife That helps a lot really. I ordered one. Figured its small. Ordered lots of dies..tiny ones I hope. I have not ordered emboss folders as was not sure of size. I only make 4x6 cards so thought this would work. Hopefully you get your machine back. Dont people understand we must create!!!! Lol
Hi there! I ordered some embossing folders from Amazon, but I won’t be ordering the Sizzix because it’s way to expensive. Can I order this and cut down the embossing folders and fit it inside this little machine to emboss my Cardstock? I’m trying to improvise!
You probably could, I have never tried it. Maybe try it on a less expensive embossing folder or on one you don't care as much about, just in case it doesn't work...I understand about the expense but you might be able to find a used Sizzix Big Shot on eBay or even Facebook Market Place...it would be worth looking to see.
I think it would take dies up to 4 or 5 inches wide, but I would have to measure the opening to be sure. It is am awesome little die cutting machine. I love it!
I just ordered one, same color as yours. It looks like it works well, however I wonder why the handle is on the left? Most people are right handed! Just seems odd.
I think you cam turn it to use either hand. I only wish it was a bit larger because some of my dies are too big for it. But, it is just the right size for the Art Impressions Matchbook dies, which is the main thing I wanted this for. I hope you like yours!
Thanks for the review. My mom ordered me this as part of my b day gift. It's on Teusday and I can't wait to play around with it. She also got me a.second set of plates to make sure I have a back up set. How do you know which plate is A and which one is B?
It is $29.76 right now on Temu for the same color. I don't remember what I paid for mine, I am sorry...but at $29.76 it is a good deal, I think. I love mine.
Thanks for sharing this love the little cats
Thank YOU for watching!!!

Thanks for your review. I was thinking of buying one and now I will ❤
You’re welcome 😊I think you will be really happy with it. I use mine all the time for cardmaking.
Nice. Thank u for an easy explanation❤❤❤❤
You are welcome 😊Thanks for watching
My order arrives today. I hope it comes with the plates. A newbie for sure. I enjoyed your review.

My plates are not staying together. Its like the top one wants to stick up ... Im afraid of breaking something....any suggestions pls?

@erikshappywife oh thx! I got this one to try out with before I invest in a bigger one for my tiny business. Thanks so much!
I hope it helped.
What machine do you use for their larger dies that won't fit in the craft buddy?
I use either my Spellbinder or my Sizzix Big Shot, depending on which one I can get to easily at the moment AND depending on the thickness of the die. If it is a thick one, I use the Big Shot.
thank you
I found it informative. Thanks.
Good easy demo. Thank you.
Thank you for watching :o)
How do you emboss with this machine
I have not tried it, but, you would do it the same only with an embossing plate.
Hi, have you try vinyl material on this? is it working?
I have not. I've only tried paper and cardstock, sorry.
Does it come with embossing folders? What size folders does it take if you want to buy more designs??

That is a great little cutter.
it is PERFECT for me, I love it and will be getting a LOT of use out of it, I'm sure!!! Thanks for watching :o)
The link in the description just goes to the Temu home page.

Hope you enjoy it and Happy Birthday!!! The plates are both the same, so it doesn't matter. :o)
Have the embossing plates ever broken on you
not so far, but I have only used it a few times. I hope to use it more now that I have a little more time.
Sister I am from Pakistan I Want to buy this this please give some information
can i buy this machine
I don't know if you can shop on Temu in Pakistan yet or not? But that is where I got my machine. Have a wonderful day :o)
Will this work with vinyl?
I am not sure, but it should
Is the dye wood
it is metal
Does it emboss too?
Yes, it sure does :o)
@@erikshappywife can you quickly show it in a video?
I've been wondering if this machine was worth it. Thanks for sharing.
It really is! It can only work with really small dies, but for cardmaking, it is ideal...and it is so portable. I love mine :o)
I was thinking about getting one of these...would they work with the die sold at dollar tree stores?
I think it should work with them. It works with all my small, thin, metal dies, so far. I love it because it is so small and easy to use.
Thanks for the DT store die cut idea! I'll have to look for them at out local store.
Please how much did you pay for the machine.🇨🇦
It is $29.76 right now on Temu for the same color. I don't remember what I paid for mine, I am sorry...but at $29.76 it is a good deal, I think. I love mine.
My craft buddy from Temu I only used it once and it would feed threw it was broke
1:10
1:27
I am so sorry. Mine is still working, but I have only used it a few times.
My only lasted one try an it broke
I only used it once and it would turn
I am so sorry. Mine is still working.
Mine is still working.

Sorry about that
