D Daigneault's Reviews

I have had this machine (my first) for 4 months. I do not use it every day. When I do use it, I find that I have to run the die/paper through several times depending on the intricacy of the die. Since I never had a die cut machine before, I did not know that I had to pass it through so many times.

I have also found that the plates warp quickly. I turn them over after every cut, but it does not seem to help. I think it may be because of how many times I have to run the die through.

The machine is easy to use (even my 3 yo granddaughter can use it with ease). I have since bought a lot of dies and die/stamp sets. Haven't used them all, yet.

I gave this tool 3 stars because I love the piercer side. It is perfect for getting paper out of die cuts. The sticky side was wonderful the first couple of times I used it. I even got one for my granddaughter for her crafting. Unfortunately, after a couple of times, the sticky side would stop being sticky unless I got it wet (usually by licking it). I always put the cap back on after using it, so I am unsure why it does this. Am I the only one? It happened for my granddaughter too.

This is not what I expected. I expected a top and a bottom. An actual platform that would open and close. There is no bottom, just a flat surface with spring "feet". Just by moving it up and down a few times, one of the "feet" popped out. Shows me that it is very cheaply made. There is no way to assure that the stamp would line up in the same spot after reinking as you would have to lift the whole "platform" in order to reink and re-stamp. Might as well use a clear stamping block.

The description on-line does not describe how to use, so I was going off of the only question asked and the inaccurate answer.

I will be returning this as soon as possible. So very disappointed.

I will be returning this one. I thought it was 6x6. Even at 12x12 the design is too big. I couldn't even use it on a scrap page.
