Helpful User Tips for the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
Small but MIGHTY: Helpful User Tips for the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine
Some of you are asking why the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is so tight. Fair question. Truth is, this makes the machine better. We know this is a bold statement, but we’re going to say it anyway: this is the strongest mini die-cutting/embossing machine on the market. This has everything to do with the tight fit at the opening. With it, you can count on cleaner cuts and deeper embossing.
Of course, we realize the tight design of the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine can create a slight learning curve when it comes to feeding the plates through, so we’ve compiled a list of helpful tips to try.
TIP 1: Think “E”
When positioning your cutting plates and folders on the machine’s platform, create the shape of a capital letter E, with the top and bottom plates extending longer than the middle section (on the side that’s feeding into the machine).
Why E? The uneven placement allows the top and bottom plates to bend in slightly, giving the machine a better opportunity to grip the plates. The ends of the plates are beveled to help with the gripping and staggering your plates will allow for even more success when running your sandwich through the machine. When placing your dies or embossing folders in your sandwich, make sure to place them between the two beveled ends. Giving the bevel room to work will help ensure success. Your embossing folders are intentionally created to be slightly shorter than the plates, all for this very reason, but a little extra wiggle room is never a bad idea.
TIP 2: Stand n’ Crank
The lighter weight of the Mini Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine can cause it to feel less stable/anchored than the larger Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine. If you’re experiencing machine movement with use, consider standing up to use the tool. The added leverage created in this position can make all the difference. Also, make sure you’ve placed your machine somewhere that will allow the feet to grip the surface during use.
TIP 3: Plate Play
If you find your plate placement isn’t cooperating, even with the “E” in effect, your machine simply has a really tight fit and this isn’t bad! But, if you’re struggling, you can try switching your base plate from the suggested Plate 1 to Plate 3. Users have reported that this slightest decrease in height and subsequent pressure can be just enough to make a difference. Making this exchange will not void the warranty, but there is a chance it could impact the quality of your cuts. Things to consider as you explore options and approaches.
FINAL THOUGHT
It’s worth mentioning that the tips outlined here also apply to the regular Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine.
