Review on πŸ”ͺ Bira Craft Cutting Embossing Materials: Unleash Your Creativity with Precision and Style by Sasha Hsiao

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A mini punching machine that does a great job!

This little punch works great! I was wary of suction based die cutters as I had some initial sticking issues, but after rubbing the underside with a baby wipe and gluing to my glass mat it wouldn't budge! I tested this little machine myself: I used Crafter's Companion 3D Embossed Folder, Crafter's Companion Cut/Embossed Folder (designed for Gemini Go as they are 3 inches tall). For the 3D embossing templates I had to add paper spacers and create a different configuration with a silicone mat, but once I had the right amount of extra paper spacers the results were great. The machine easily cuts complex dies out of the Crafters Companion! I purposely used the Crafters Companion products to test this little guy out as CC products make up a large portion of my crafting inventory, but I also have a Gemini and wanted a handheld die that could handle the most complex of dies and still be portable to me love all my other Gemini machines (I have all 3) but really wanted something I could just pull out quickly and have a couple of handles, or a simple boundary matrix. I would also like to add that the machine sticks to my glass mat with no movement , even if I used a thick stock Crafters Companion card!
