Unboxing the Mini Evolution | It's So Tiny! It's So Perfect!

[@onlyonecherrycnp]

Hiiii… First I Love how you said you would quietly worry on the inside… Second I Love washI tape…all the paper and patterns and anything stationary and third the blended color with that die gave me life!!!!!❤So amazing!

[@patriciacyzauskas4067]

I have had a Sizzix SideKick for more than a year. Purchased using a coupon so cost was $25. One of my best investments. I make quite a few Tim Holtz colorize dies and it is perfect for those. I travel with it all the time so I can craft. Also have manual Big Shot and a Vagabond 2. Thanks for sharing your new machine.

[@MoonEyesDesign]

I made the mistake of buying the stampin up mini because I wanted one with a 3” opening. It moves too much as you crank it. I may have to order this one with the suction feature!

[@quiltinggrandma8633]

I just bought one and received it today it is so cute and I love using it! ❤

[@priscillaco.6142]

Very cute 🥰

[@Krafterleyjane]

I got the pink one 2 weeks ago and I absolutely love it! It stays on my desk and is awesome for the tiny dies so I’m not wearing out the plates on my big machine. 💕💕💕

[@hylacooper6630]

I have only a small one, and my frustration is not being able to purchase embossing folders in that size. Can't wait to see what you create.

[@joannepanagopoulos2013]

I love it so cute. I also purchased it in Pink ! enjoy,

[@MyChemlover4ever]

It's so tiny and adorable the card turned out cute too.

[@Adriana_scrap]

I have mine in pink for almost two years and it's perfect, so cute!

[@Krafterleyjane]

I have the pink too. Love it! 💕

[@czdesign]

Baby die cut machines are so cute. And the card? Perfection!

[@Bethadilly]

Thank you! Mini machines are always fun!

[@lissetsanchez5316]

Thank you for sharing. It is the cutest die machine. I own the mini Anna Griffin one. It is quite heavy, but I love it.

[@Bethadilly]

I have been eyeing that one!

[@lissetsanchez5316]

@@Bethadilly it's stunning and works really well. It is pricey, so maybe ask for it as a gift. Christmas is coming....

[@kristinekerr3688]

Tip: instead of wasting a wet wipe to soften paper you can use your damp chamois cloth (if you have one you keep in a salt cellar). Works like a charm and never adds too much moisture😊

[@Bethadilly]

I have a couple shammies, but I am just not very fond of them. :(

[@alwayshavestrengthjoy7450]

Excellent job. I really enjoyed your presentation & expertise. Loved the card with machine demo💕🦋. Thank you!

[@ThePovalicious]

This would be great for gift tags.

[@cynthiaakacyndsmith6539]

I have a small Tim Holtz small one.. I love it! This card turned out very darling.

[@mrspr]

I love my mini die cut machine. It cuts great and mine also has the suction. I agree it’s a deal breaker. And your comment about whites matching whites? Same! 😃

[@Bethadilly]

Ha ha! They have to match!

[@tewmuch7342]

This is so small and dainty. I have the Anna Griffin Mini Empress and it’s small too. What cute little ideas for card making. Thanks for sharing.

[@tabithascott978]

The “You Are My Joy” die made me think of the David Crowder song

[@sarahseid5674]

Thank you so much for taking the time to make this tutorial. I did purchase the mini - it makes sense to me because I have a larger cutting machine and now a smaller one to deal with the smaller die cuts. Plus I LOVE the suction capability of the mini. My SpellBinder goes all over the place when I use it lol.

[@Bethadilly]

That suction made me super happy! Lol

[@user-pe8mt3px9b]

So fun!!

[@dottyearnhardt9600]

So precious, great job!

[@marlenenicholl6825]

Such a cute machine - I have an older Evolution with the electric attachment - it is grey with a bit of turquoise on the top

[@marieroecker9590]

Adorable card.

[@simeenbatra6882]

Such a cute machine and card!!

[@ellenmcphate1441]

Very sweet and simple card! I love it! I also have a small die cutter (different brand). They are SO handy and cute! TFS!

[@samanthahardy7528]

I love this card - so cute

[@Virgina76]

Cute card

[@karencook7193]

I just got my machine and I love it. You're card is so adorable, I love the inking you do.

[@Bethadilly]

Thanks so much 😊. That inking was a little crazy, but it turned out!

[@craftybee4644]

I have a mini (different brand) which I love. It's so handy to have the option of a mini. I'm very surprised you didn't get the pink one Bethany lol.

[@jennifersantistevan7673]

I’m going on a retreat might have to get this. Thanks for sharing

[@Bethadilly]

Oh!!! Perfect idea for a retreat! I’m impressed with it!!

[@ssmith364]

The mini die cut is so cute!!! Makes me want to purchase one 🫢🫣😶‍🌫️ even though I already have 3 in different sizes 🫣

[@Bethadilly]

Add to cart! Ha ha! The steadiness alone when suctioned to the table is worth every penny!

[@LisaVornhagen]

That card is really pretty! I love the gradient on the sentiment. That machine is really cute and looks great for small projects and doesn't take up a lot of space. I just checked your link for it and it is out of stock so it must be pretty popular! I finally got some of the Bearly Art glue and I love it! It is my new favorite glue.

[@jeanweiher1525]

So very cute and handy. As usual a beautiful card Bethany.

[@lisariva9432]

Bethany - You always manage to find the cutest possible version of any given craft tool - I love your recommendations! I too am inspired by my craft room and surroundings, and silly as it sounds, I think these things make a difference! Love the project too :)

[@Bethadilly]

Totally! Our craft rooms represent us and our style! It’s a great way to stay inspired!

[@ellen-marie6692]

All around cute! I’ve only “window shopped” die cutting / embossing machines - as much as I would love one, it’s just too much of an expensive for me & sadly I think this one is too small, especially with respect to the embossing folder side. Kind of surprised they didn’t at least make it A2 size as I assume that would appeal to most crafters / card makers. It is definitely adorable though!! Really love the ink blending & colours you used!

[@repentorperish133]

Perfect for my desk since I don't have that much room.

[@Bethadilly]

Perfect!!

[@Lesliewigley]

I love your cross bracelets, they are so cute. Do you know where you got them?

[@joseemathieu2617]

you have a lot of machine for your card if I want to purchase one what is the one that you recommend me for starting always love your card and the variety that you do thanks 😊

[@sonialightfoot5562]

I do Quilling but would like to add lace or patterned boarders. I do not have a a machine. Im trying to figure out what my best investment for outcomes would be, that is affordable. Any suggestions? I have not seen the dual tool you used to pick up your sequels, etc. what is it called and where would I buy it? I live in Canada. Loved your video. Your voice is soothing and encouraging. Your card is lively. Thank you.

[@VirginiaBitner-r1n]

Where is the mat that is on your desk from? I love it!! I love the new machine, too!!

[@Bethadilly]

I should have everything I used linked in the description box below the video! :)

[@kristinawalby8652]

I was wondering when you were gonna get a small scale die cutting machine. I have the exact same one but in pink! 🩷

[@vickielee8958]

Nice!😊

[@daphne_IgnaSio]

@bethadilly, are you naming this new cutie machine?

[@sonshinesunflower]

Hi, I clicked on your link, but it’s sold out. 😢 Love your card! Thank you for sharing your technique! Question: Did this one just come out? I ask because it looks like the same Mini Revolution I bought from Tuesday Morning 3 years ago for $24! Mine came with stamps, dies, paper, embossing folders & a bonus mini press! I could not believe I found it for so cheap!!! 🤩 It’s so stinking cute & perfect for staying on my craft table for the tiny & quick jobs & love how long the plates have lasted! It was originally featured on HSN, now the one I have is being sold at Joann Fabrics for $49 so I’m just wondering why We R has come out with another mini? They seem like the same item to me.

[@amael1224]

Great video! I'm going to order one to make tags. Do you recommend 80lb or 100lb for tags?

[@Bethadilly]

Gosh, I don't think you could do wrong with either one. But I always think a higher weight is always better.

[@amael1224]

@@Bethadilly thank you! 🙌🌟💫

[@erinbaker2297]

Hi! Do you happen to have a link for your watch?

[@terishows2927]

Is the mini revolution hard on your hands? Will it make them sore after cranking it for awhile? Thank you!

[@Bethadilly]

I mean, that's a hard question to answer because what may be easy for one person could be hard for another. I will say, I thought it was easy to crank. As you can see in the video, I just used my fingers to crank and didn't need a lot of pressure.

[@angiesalais]

I’m looking to buy a die cut machine. Would this work for card making or should I get a larger one?? It’s so cute!!!

[@Bethadilly]

I would personally invest in a bigger one. This is nice to have as an additional smaller one to grab quickly and create, but I think if you only had the little one you would be limited quickly by the size.

[@angiesalais]

@@Bethadilly thank you

[@Janderson5787]

I love mine, but trying to buy replacement plates is almost impossible. 😐

[@chantalle7340]

That’s too bad. I’m looking into purchasing one of these & being able to find replacement pads would be a concern.

[@daphne_IgnaSio]

How did u clean ur sticky tweezers and scissors?

[@Bethadilly]

Baby wipes!

[@ssmith364]

Is the wet wipe really wet when u wipe the cars stock?

[@Bethadilly]

It's as damp as a wipe would be, I just grab one right from the bag and wipe!

[@fabiolarichards4506]

Would this be in place of a Silhouette Cameo?

[@Bethadilly]

No, this really doesn't compare to Cricuts and Silhouettes.

[@brendacraycraft4464]

Where did you buy the Evolution? Thank you.

[@joannepanagopoulos2013]

Hi Bethany, the plates have a little film on them and that needs to be removed. ox

Interesting because I just checked and mine didn't have any protective film on them.
