This manual die cutting and embossing machine set comes complete with cutting dies, embossing folders, paper sheets, and cutting plates, so beginners can start their first project straight out of the box without buying extra supplies. The crank powers both functions, delivering precise die cuts in one direction and rich embossed texture in the other for consistent, professional-looking results. An ergonomic handle, non-slip base, secure crank, and metal gears keep the 9-inch machine steady while you work, and the included plates are built to withstand repeated projects. It handles paper, decorative paper, wrapping paper, letter paper, and cardstock, which covers most scrapbooking and card making needs. At 15.43 pounds and 15.75 x 5.2 x 8.27 inches, it is larger than the compact versions but still folds flat for storage in a drawer or closet and unfolds again in about a second when you are ready to craft.
