I might be wrong, but I believe that you are always supposed to put the embossing folder in with the closed/seam end first to prevent the seam from cracking.

[@lisasstampstudio]

Cass thanks for watching!! I have been told both ways for the embossing folders. I have always put the open end first.

[@caseyslove]

Cass J I agree with you as I feel putting the opened ends of the embossing folder could slightly shift one layer and cause damage or poor embossing over time.

[@ellengates7843]

Thanks! Do you have a video on the mini machine?

[@lisasstampstudio]

Sandy thank you for watching!! The mini machine is the exact same as this larger model! Hope this helps!!

[@Bigmist8k]

I think all machines have a patent design which prevents other companies from blatantly duplicating your product without your consent. Question for you. I’m (not sure) guessing that this is the Platinum die-cutting machine licensed/designed especially for Stampin Up the same as the Big Shot was licensed/ designed for Stampin Up. That being said, will the Platinum parts (plated, base, magnetic plate, etc.) work with this machine? Great demonstration! I always look forward to your videos.

[@rdecook651]

I thought Big Shot already has a machine out like this, too. I'm pretty sure they do.

[@Bigmist8k]

They do. I believe it’s called the fold-away. Doesn’t take up so much room on your desk.

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

I have the Spellbinders Platinum 6 (6" platform) and it folds up to a compact size. This SU machine looks very much like the Platinum, though I like how the Platinum carry handle folds into the machine.

[@Bigmist8k]

I was hoping that they were the same machine (Spellbinders Platinum and the Cut n Emboss) because that would mean that the cutting plates are the same. I was concerned because in the video she said that Stampin Up does not recommend that you use products from another company in this machine. So if the cutting plates are not the same, that means I’m always forced to order them. Not that I mind ordering products but sometimes you just want to be fiscally sound with your money and cut out the middle man, shipping costs, wait times, etc. and just hop in your car and pick up consumables like this from Michael’s or JoAnns. So that those $11 plates don’t end up costing $15.

[@lisasstampstudio]

Thanks for watching Cass!! Yes, you can use the plates from your previous machine.

[@sherylfrascht9822]

[@lisasstampstudio]

It measures approximately 10 x 6 1/2 without the handle that would add it to about 14 x 6 1/2. very compact!! Hope this helps!

[@crs949]

That is what I was taught ..to put seam of embossing folder in the machine first. Why do you do it differently?

[@lisasstampstudio]

[@joankamp2319]

Lisa Curcio Lisa's Stamp Studio well, I would say every other demonstrator I have watched has said to put the folder in with the fold first.

I hope you can help me. I have the small cut and emboss machine from StampinUp it from day one, it’s a big struggle for me to cut some dies! It’s a struggle for me to align everything and can take me up to half an hour before I get one cut! Some days it works beautifully and others it just won’t work for me! Any tips, suggestions? I’m frustrated to now end!

[@lisasstampstudio]

Jeannette thank you for visiting!! Please email me with your concern: [e-mail]

[@TheRubeeRose]

Loved this ... I will be ordering it. I have a question though ... you put your folder in "upside down" ... ie: open end in first and you mentioned that, but not the WHY. I've always been taught to put it in closed end first ... is this the new rule then with these machines? does it matter?

[@lisasstampstudio]

Jeannette you will love this embossing machine!! I have been told both ways for your embossing folders to feed through. I have always put mine through open end first. Thanks for stopping by!!

[@lattebarbee]

Enjoy your videos. Do you have any problems die cutting the ornate layers on this new machine? Is there a special way of laying the die on the card stock?

[@lisasstampstudio]

Barbee thanks for watching!! I have not had problems with those dies. No special way of laying on the cardstock. I do run that through and then back through.

[@lattebarbee]

Lisa Curcio Lisa's Stamp Studio Then there must be something wrong with my die machine. When I lay it on straight, it is almost impossible to turn the handle. When I Place it at an angle, it will go thru but it is still kind of hard. May have to return it.

[@kathyireland2166]

Lisa, I thought that when using embossing folders you are supposed to put the folded end in first. I noticed that you put the open end first. Which is correct?

[@lisasstampstudio]

Kathy that is a personal preference. I have always put mine through open end first. I think there is less stress on the fold. Hope that makes sense!! Thanks for watching!!

[@crashbunny69]

Hi Lisa! Just a quick question, I had a lot of embossing folders for different name brands; would I be able to use those on this new machine? Thank you for your time on this and be safe.

[@lisasstampstudio]

Melissa thanks so much for watching!! Yes, I do believe those embossing folders will work, you may have to adjust the thickness level.

[@graceforever12]

I am on the fence about buying the new SU cut and emboss machine as I have Big Shot that serves me well. What is the difference that makes this one so much better and also can I use my magnetic plate from my Big Shot on the new machine? Your video was very good!

[@lisasstampstudio]

Fran happy to have you visit this video!! I can tell you this is an awesome machine. It is much lighter than the Big Shot, runs smoother and is more compact. You can use you plates from your machine, although it is not advised to do so. I hope this has helped you!! Thank you!!

[@peggytesta1394]

Does the new magnetic plate fit the old big shot?

[@lisasstampstudio]

Peggy thanks so much for stopping by to watch!! The old magnetic plate is a thicker plate. The new magnetic plate is thinner. I do not think the "sandwich" would be the same thickness. Hope that makes sense.

[@janefranklin6350]

Lisa, I am confused. I was told that the hinged edge of embossing folders should pass through a machine first so as to not create pressure on the hinge as the folder is being crunched through. In this video, you said to load the open ends first. Which is best?

[@user-mv9tt4st9k]

Maybe it depends on how long you want your embossing folders to last...?
