I am so glad you are reviewing this as I am seriously considering it. I did not expect it to be so large. However, the system seems way more universal than anything else has been!
Just purchased this! YAY! Super excited to use it!
OOOOO Big brother to the Spellbinders Platinum, nice. This is why I got the Spellbinders Machine after doing the research. It cuts and embosses every die and folder out there. I even got the magic mat to save my cutting mat. Love love this machine.
Thank you for this demonstration, I am wanting to purchase my very first machine & your video has answered all my questions I had. 😊
Wow! That’s awesome! Love that it basically does everything! 😊
This is it, my girl!! LOL! I never had a large machine that cuts steel rule, so for me...this is the ultimate! Yay! TYSM!
WOW!! What a great machine. Thanks for sharing. Wish I had room for it. Blessings
Thank you for sharing your videos
WOW! What a great machine! I really love the embossing it does. That embossing folder makes really nice 3D paper. 😊
This does it all! Yay! I am so excited bc I have never had the largest machine that cuts with the steel rule dies, too. Perfect!
thanks so much for this review! I have the platinum 6 and want something bigger. I am sold on this on now! I love the universal planform is so big! Thanks again!
I love the look of this one Vianney. I have so many machines now, but love this one. I do love the larger plates. Maybe I'll sell my other machines and get this one. I use the Tangerine mostly because of the large plates it has. Be well, be safe & TYFS
Looks like a great machine, thanks for sharing! 😍
Looks like a real nice machine. About a month ago I purchased the EDGE Crossover ll. I love it. TFS
I have never heard of that, I'll check it out! I like to know what's out there. (: TYSM!
Seems like a great tool for cutting. Cut a lot at once! Thanks for sharing ❣
It really is! TY!
WOW, this looks like a great machine. I’d love to have it although I don’t really need another die cutting machine, LOL. TYFS!🌸🦋
I love my spellbinders and Sizzix machines. ❤
They are really great!! TYSM for sharing your feedback!
I bought the extended plate system and a new platinum 6, LE (the aqua colored on) which has been working well for me (have the regular version of the platinum 6) Looks like it now just comes standard with the machines. My large format machine is an Anna Griffin Empress.
You are so lucky!❤
I have the older Fun Stampers journey one and I love it. I bought it for $75 on ebay because I too bought steel rule dies that were oversized. I love the color on this one though.
That’s really cool! Unfortunately, I forgot to mention or really talk about the color of this one. It’s really nice and clean! They also have new three in one tools that are the same kind of color way. TYSM!
OOh, I would love to have this so I could get the Heartfelt Creation shaping molds. I do not have a machine that could take those. The shim is a nice feature. I don’t own steel rule dies right now. It is very pretty and elegant looking too.
I hope you do a video with the really bigz die. One of the advantages of the steel rule dies is that you can cut several layers of paper at once. Thanks for the review.
I plan to, just gotta find them! LOL! I hope I didn't destash them, I'm pretty sure I didn't. I have plenty of Bigz dies, like the normal steel rule that are a bit bigger than the one I used here. Then I have like full, big plate, steel rule dies. Those are the ones I can't find. Fingers crossed! LOL!
You were right, with the reveal of new products, there was a promo offer from SB!
I knew it! LOL!! I saw that it was offered a little later in the morning, so happy I told you guys about that little "hack." LOL!!! TYSM!
I received the older one as a Mother's Day gift because I "accidentally" bought dies that couldn't fit the Platinum 6. It's a great machine but I love the color of this one.
I still collect theses steel rule dies. I was hoping to see you run a larger one through. But appreciate seeing this one too. I just bought two Sizzix discontinued steel rule dies. One is very long a pop up heart and the other is a huge extra wide XOXO and LOVE that can make cute cards with those large letters that each is combined so you can connect or just use one or the other alone or connect to a card folder too inside or outside. Anyway I wasn't prepared to see such a huge die. It measures close to 8 inches for the XOXO LOVE die. I just backed off. I do have the similar larger Spellbinder steel rule dies but maybe this one is even larger. I'm on the fence though about running it or attempting to run it through my Plantinum 8.5 machine. I have the smaller Spellbinder 6.5 too and I lean on it for most of my cutting and embossing in general. I also had my 8.5 eat a rubber mat a year ago and it's behaved a little off since. I tried to take it apart to insure there was no bits of rubber in the rollers or mechanism but I could not actually get it apart that far. It seems to work OK but not always as smooth as it's a bit stiff where I didn't seem to feel it was previous to the incident with the rubber mat. Took me two days to work out the mat and it was torn up. Have no idea how it went crooked or got caught up like that. It had been working well for several passes then it caught. They do tend to stretch when using and perhaps I had just used too quickly for it to recover or it stretched too much having used it numerous times so quickly one after another. Hard to say. I'm trying to avoid using any of the so called rubber mats now. I also have the UNiversal plates that came out a year ago and they are interesting but actually I lean more on my original platform and directions for all dies and embossing folders. However I think outside the box and color outside the lines a lot. So I'm working on embossing inked up hot foil dies instead of hot foiling always with them. This requires a little more playing field. A video shared they got best results so far using a crease plate which I have in both machine sizes. Love your videos btw. They are so well done. Thanks for your sharing of this. Also shout out to Spellbinders who sent me no charge a lightly used platform for the big machine when mine delaminated when it hadn't been used hardly at all. It actually started delaminating right away I just was too new to realize what was going on and thought it might have one of those clear layers that should be removed. NO it didn't have a removable layer and with the delamination the top surface area was warping or rippled. The replaced platform has been fine not doing anything like that. I suspect it was a faulty platform new from the manufacturer. I contacted Spellbinder to order a new one but they said they didn't have them but sent me the spare they did have on hand. I thought that was very lovely of them. I've since ordered the universal platform and plates set for both machines. Very expensive along with a magnetic platform too. Not sure the magnetic is sold still. I continue to collect these steel rule dies and fascinated by them. I collect Sizzix alphabet sets too that are so fun but they want to warp in roller machines so I picked up their old press style machine used. These alphabet sets often say they are for roller machines but they don't seem to warp with the original press with lever old red machines. The alphabet dies are kinda like the steel rule dies as they are encased with a foam around them. But of course thinner and small little squares. Happy crafting everyone.
Don’t you love the extra large Spellbinders embossing folders that work with 5 by 7 and slimline cards?
I have the older one.
Thank you so much for doing this unboxing vid, Vianney! I have the Empress which only accommodates a certain thickness of die/embossing folder. Does the Platinum accommodate any brand of the above?
I saw the sale of the machines. A while ago I bought a steel rule due to make a bird house. I was surprised when it was so big. My daughters school is using right now for art class. My big shot is about 12 years old and I am going to give to my friend who doesn’t have one. I love the new plate system. Thank you for demonstrating it
Does this new one turn hard someone said the small does thank you so much great grandma 😇😇😇
Thank you! I really like the limited edition teal platinum 6. But it doesn't come with the new universal system. I have the AG Empress. But it won't work with some of the thicker folders. Would you please compare the limited edition platinum 6 and this new one using 3d folders?
I have a review on the Aqua Platinum 6 and reviewed the new universal plates in it, too. They are essentially the same, just the 6 is about a 6" wide opening and this one is almost 9". They both work well with the 3D embossing folders when using the universal system...have to do something a little different when trying to use 3D without the universal system.
This machine looks amazing but I have a question about the Gemini machine do it take steel rule die big like this one thank you for sharing
TY! No, Gemini machines are big but only cut thin metal dies.
Awesome review 😍❤️💕
Thank you! 🤗
Thanks for sharing. I like this..but i already have several machines. Need to think about it.🤣😂
LOL! Aww, one more can't hurt!? (:
@@VianneyCreates I know..that’s what 😱🤣😂🤣
@@VianneyCreates I fool heartedly ordered Sizzix newest electronic die cutting machine ONLY because it’s advertised as being able to die cut their XL dies. I KNOW eventually I’ll be picking this one up too.😂🤣😂🤣
Can you use the heartfelt shaping mold in this machine? Love your video’s!!! Oops , See others ask this question
Yes, you absolutely can. Those can be used in any machine that cuts steel rule dies.
I have the older big Spellbinders and the thing I don't care for is that the plates warp very easily. I wonder if they improved the plates any with this new one.
Iv got a cut n boss which Iv had for about 5 years and iv never had to change the plates yet all I do is give the a good clean nor and again x
I have the other spellbinders machine I think it's the 6, my plates always bow, any tips for that? Thanks for sharing the new machine.
I responded this way to a similar comment about plates: "I wonder what that's about. I never have had issues with any machine as far as really warped/even a little bit warped plates. As far as the Spellbinders machines, I only have the Platinum 6 and as I said...just now switched plates out after cutting into the same set for about a year or so. I always push through with the skinniest sandwich that gets the job done. I've had great luck with that way of doing things."
Oh how I would love to have this machine and the glimmer system, but I have the Gemini ones 😞
I just found your video. I bought one at Hobby Lobby on clearance. Mine has a gold handle and on handle. Do you know if there is any difference? My plates I noticed aren’t marked as yours. Confused. Came with no shim and no extras.
Thinking of replacing my Big Shot with this, will I have to buy all new things or can I still use everything with this machine?
Do you know if you can use the Heartfelt Creations flower molds with this machine?
Any machine that cuts steel rule dies will accept the heartfelt molds. TYSM!!
Wow. Glad they wanted you to test it out. Expensive. Doesn’t the tonic machine ( orange giant )cut steel rule dies? Is this machine bigger than the orange tonic? Thanks for demo it didnt look hard to crank.
TY! So, no, the Tangerine, Empress, Gemini machines do not cut steel rule dies. They are big machines for thin metal dies. I think the Tonic plates are about the same. I know they are about 8 1/4" wide, but forget how long. I think they are like A4 size, though. The cranking is really smooth on this guy! (:
what do you think about the intracut new machine
I gotta tell you, I have the original platinum that my daughters gifted me for my b day several yrs ago,I began using it right away. I found very quickly the plates warped and it got very hard to crank no matter what I did and I haven’t used it for a long time even though I did buy new plates. I just lost interest in it so I’m watching to see what I think now about this one.Tfs everything looked great.
Hmmm, I wonder what that's about. I never have had issues with any machine as far as really warped/even a little bit warped plates. As far as the Spellbinders machines, I only have the Platinum 6 and as I said...just now switched plates out after cutting into the same set for about a year or so. I always push through with the skinniest sandwich that gets the job done. I've had great luck with that way of doing things.
I have the special edition platinum 6 but the turn handle keeps loosening or coming off and now the pressure isn’t there either. Can anyone help me fix this?
How much does that weigh?
New and improved because it’s got a bigger cut/ embossing-surface?
I have the Original Platinum/ Just wondered what are the new and improve things about this new machine?
TY! I believe it's just the new color and the Universal Plate set. Those sets are sold separately and will still work with your original! (:
Hi, which of the spellbinders machines is the best.
And what is the difference between the 6” and 8” machines?
Does the glimmer work with this big boy?
I believe so as the plates from the small machine can be run through this. I should have shown that. It's like any larger machine, where its smaller counterpart's plates are interchangeable.
How is it improved? Is it just the plate system not the machine itself?
I wondered the same, looks like it's a slightly new look and includes the universal plate system (like you mentioned).
I have the old platinum six from a few years ago & I find it stinks with embossing folder that’s are not form spellbinders wondering if this one is better? Actually I broke an embossing folder, also mine has a very hard time with intricate dies….. one of my sides doesn’t close all the way anymore, nothing is stuck in it, I bought this because of its foldaway ability. Not that great.
I purchased a Couture Creations A4 electric die cutting machine over a year ago…it can do everything what the Spellbinder Platinum BUT it’s electric…great for me as a I have a tremor & it’s footprint is like a large laminator 😀🐨🇦🇺🦘
Does it do Anna griffin dies?
Of course! Actually, that ribbon border die was an Anna Griffin die (the one I embossed). Any thin metal die from any company will work in any machine that cuts thin metal dies...and any steel rule die from any company will work in any machine that cuts steel rule dies. This particular machine does it all!
Is this as big as the Big Shot? I could get this and get rid of the other two!
I gave the measurements for the plates and the machine itself. I don't know the Big Shot measurements, I'm sorry.
@@VianneyCreates I was sneaking the video at work! I’ll listen when I get home
💙💙💙💜💙💙💙
TY!
I don’t find the $25 off offer. Did it expire?
I believe it ended yesterday. I'm sorry.
I don't understand why they can't make the machine great from the beginning. I have the original one now if I want this new one I have to spend more money.
I think the machine itself isn't much different, the new and improved means they are now coming with the Universal Plate System. So, your machine is great (just like my little Platinum 6), but to upgrade it...you can just pick up the Universal Plate System...no need for another machine. I hope that makes sense.
That big boy ain’t movin
You guys are better reviewers than me! LOL! After I was packing up to take my new machine to my craft room...I realized it has suction cups on the base! It stayed put! LOL!!
@@VianneyCreates Suction cups AND hefty - whoa
I am thinking about getting the six inch one because my Sizzix Limited Edition Big Shot broke on me the other night and now I am depressed over it. I contacted Sizzix and everything. only one reply back from them, so that is why I feel like I am at a loss. But my hubby said I might be able to get this one.
I hope they get back to you, I wonder what kid of warranty they have? This machine is great bc it works with everything!!
@@VianneyCreates I wish I could get this. Even as a I for Spell too I can’t afford it right now. But I do tell people on my channel that it is good 😊 Sizzix is sending me a new handle which I had to pay for of course. They said that even with the Limited Edition Big Shot; the warranty ended at three years. But I remember doing a lifetime warranty which was ten years.
