If you're in the market for a new die cutting and embossing machine, the Evolution Advanced is is an excellent machine to add to your craft stash! The Evolution Advanced Die-Cutting/Embossing Machine from We R Memory Keepers is a versatile option for any crafty household. With several unique features, the Evolution Advanced stands apart from the rest. To start, the Evolution Advanced folds up for compact storage. When folded, the machine easily slides across a smooth surface; when opened, the machine's suction cup feet activate in a way that secures them properly to the table. These folded out legs open up for additional storage. This is the best place to store the handle when not in use, and you can fit dies, washi tape, and even small paper swatches in these compartments. One of the biggest perks to this machine is the "lack of sandwiches". Die cutting machines made by other brands tend to include intricate layers of cutting mats for different dies and embossing folders. You might end up layering cutting platforms and mats and embossing pads (oh my!) in complex ways, creating ample room for user error. Instead, the Evolution Advanced includes a dial with different settings for function and paper weight. If you're cutting a thin piece of paper, there's a setting for that. If you're embossing a thick piece of paper, there's a setting for that. You can also letterpress with this machine. Each setting adjusts the machine to work with your materials, rather than adjusting your sandwich to work with the machine. This machine comes with a soft cutting mat that lies on top of the cutting platform. In order to properly die cut, do not use your dies cutting side down. That will damage the platform. You want them to face cutting side up. With the paper lying on top of the die instead of the other way around, it can be challenging to see exactly where you're placing the cut. An easy way to ensure perfect placement of your die is to use a bit of washi tape to secure the die to the paper. One last unique feature of this machine is that you can buy an attachable motor to use with it. I was impressed with the way the motor worked! After attaching, you hold the button and the cutting platform glides through smoothly. If you need to do any mass production of die cut projects such as invitations or party favors, the motor would be a handy attachment for reducing strain. The Evolution Advanced is an excellent die cutting and embossing machine for paper crafters. With so many perks, this machine is a wonderful option for many paper crafting projects.

Die-cutting opens up a whole world of papercrafts with one pass through a machine, which we love here at CB. For beginners and experienced crafters alike, turning your hand to a new hobby always comes with the introduction to your new set of tools, but we’ve gathered some top tricks of the trade from expert papercrafters to get you started on your die-cutting journey. Grab a cuppa and a biscuit and enjoy these pro tips! Which top die-cutting tips do you stick to most? Joanna Sheen says… “My first tip is a simple one – keep your die-cutting machine spic and span. Carefully clean the plates as you go along; scrape off little bits of paper and don’t get glue or pen marks on them. There is nothing more annoying than finding a carefully made die-cut that is marked or damaged. My second tip is to organise and store scraps of unused card. When you have a small die it’s amazing how a tiny piece of card can be just what you need. This also means you don’t have to cut a new sheet up for a small section. Keep colours separated too – pop them into individual envelopes so you know what shades you have on hand.” My dies aren’t cutting as smoothly as they used to – what can I do? Stephanie Weightman says… It’s first worth checking your cutting plates and the pressure of your die-cutting machine to see if there’s any problems there. If not, it could be that the cutting edge has worn down over time and repeated use. A quick and simple trick to put a bit more edge back into them, is to cut them through some good, thick kitchen foil! I’m crafting on a budget – how can I make the most out of my collection of dies? Katie Skilton says… There are so many different techniques you can apply with die-cutting. Using a flat image is just the beginning of your die-cut journey. If you have any flower dies, a great tool to help give a whole new look and dimension is the Sizzix Paper Sculpting Kit. This creates beautiful, three dimensional flowers that can be used in home decor, bouquets and fashion items. Another tip is to keep the negative when cutting and reuse as a stencil on your next project. You can also cut shapes from foam with your current collection of dies and use them as stamps. Have fun and play around with what you have at home – you will soon see how versatile die-cutting can be! What’s the best way to store my dies? Stephanie says… The best way to store your dies is to focus on organisation. Know where your favourites are and put them in something that you can carry about easily, especially if you’re on the move! Tattered Lace craft tidies are collapsible, meaning they take up very little space when they’re not in use, making them extra convenient about the house. How can I transfer die-cut pieces without damaging them? Natalie Muspratt says… There are many ways you can handle die-cut pieces without causing damage. Ensure you are using the correct plates with the dies, resulting in a crisp, clean cut. The 3-in-1 Die Brush is a fantastic tool to have when die-cutting, as it features a brush, spatula and needle that can be changed around, and saves you time fussing. Use the spatula on the die brush to remove excess card from the die, helping to avoid the card from ripping. The needle on the brush also helps to push out the pieces that have not been released. I want to introduce different materials into cardmaking – what works with die-cutting machines? Katie Skilton says… The best way to get fantastic results from a range of materials is to invest in some Sizzix Bigz Dies. The steel rule blade concept allows you to cut a huge range of materials from fabric and felt, to mountboard and leather. These will work in all of the Sizzix Big Shot machines and allow you to create mixed media projects using thick card to soft craft projects, such as quilting and appliqué. Of course, you can also use it for all your papercraft projects, too. A great rule to remember is anything you can cut with a sharp pair of scissors, you can cut with the huge selection of Sizzix Bigz Dies. How can I make the most of the waste shapes that are left after I have finished die-cutting? Stephanie Weightman says… “Die-cut leftovers don’t need to be wasteful! If the pieces are large enough to still cut into, perhaps you could use smaller dies to make extra pieces for decoupage or decoration. If you have multiples of the same shape, devise a pattern by arranging them in the right way and create a background effect similar to embossing. Don’t forget about the negative left in the card that you’ve cut from – it makes the perfect stencil for stamping or colouring!” What are your favourite die-cutting tips?

Much like when my hubby takes my car in for an oil change and tire rotation, he's looking out for our safety and the car's performance. Prevent issues with these simple tips for your Die-Cutting Machine! See this Video Tutorial on how to Flatten/Straighten Bowed/Bent Big Shot Die-Cutting Plates with a quick trip to your kitchen!! Check out this video below to see the Do's and Do NOT's of this quick and easy process! I've been asked more than once (too many times to count, really) how to deal with bowed or bent cutting boards for the Big Shot. Preventative: 1. The Big Shot machine comes with 2 clear plates. Right off the bat mark one for cutting. Use only the cutting mat on top of your sandwich stacks. Be sure to rotate the cutting plate back to front and side to side. It is normal for your cutting plate to get "cut up" with marks from your dies. BUT if your cutting plate starts to curl do not attempt to flatten it with your heat tool or by running it through your machine "bump" side up in a tight stack. It may crack and break! It is still useable with a curl but you are now committed to running it through your machine with the ends curled up. You may also have to push the curled up end down to start your stack when running it through your machine. Ideally it would best to have 3 plates on the go - 1 for cutting, 1 for the bottom of the stack and another 1 to use for embossing only as a top plate. I’ve JUST Stickered my plates as I think it will help us all in keeping them straight – literally and figuratively ha, ha, ha. 2. Each machine is slightly different. Each user should play with their machine to "get to know it". Don't be alarmed if the recommended sandwich stack does not work in your machine. Simply experiment and make adjustments. 3. Once you get to know your machine you may want to run some samples through and record on them your unique recipes if different. You may also want to make your own laminated "recipe" shims and keep them with your machine. See the middle of the video, lol, as I have a cautionary Tale to Tell!! My Tail of Woe - lol.
