The 2 Die Cutting Machines I Use for Cardmaking (and How They Work)
If you’ve ever felt unsure about which die-cutting machine is actually worth buying, this video will help clear things up. I’m walking you through how I use two of the die cutting machines I rely on the most — the Gina K Designs Intri-Cut and the Empress Elite by Anna Griffin. These are very different machines, but I use both depending on the project.
You’ll see exactly how each machine handles different tasks:
Thin metal dies
Thicker etched dies
3D embossing folders
BetterPress compatibility
Pressure dial and mode adjustments
Real cutting plate setup (no guessing)
I’m not just talking about just specs, I’m showing how they actually perform in real use so you can get a feel for what fits your space and style. If die cutting ever felt confusing, this might be the walkthrough that makes it click.
