Anna Griffin Empress Elite Die Cutting Machines with Large Plates - 10% Faster Electric Die Cutting and Embossing Machine for Card Making, Scrapbooking Die-Cut Machines with 360 Degree Turntable

Exceeded my expectations! As l age and life long injuries interfer with movement I decided to go for a quality electric machine. Anna Griffin's machine allows me to cut 2 layers of card stock ar once. Christmas cards are going faster.

Works great

I LOVE this machine and my shoulder does too! The manual machine was getting to be too much repetitive stress on my shoulder and this electric machine is so smooth. The 360 spin is wonderful as well.

Perfect for cutting small dies - no matter the brand - and it cuts like butter! It’s also die embosses well. I still use my Sizzix Big Shot Plus and Big Shot Switch Plus for larger dies and 3D embossing plates, but the size of this mini Empress, with the handle, just makes it a convenience to carry around my craft room.

I really like it. I only gave it 4 stars bc embossing folders don’t really work with it.

Great price. I have waited for this to go on sale in Amazon's last sale. So happy with product it's a work horse of a machine. Very pleased with this product.

I love the size of the machine. Its small enough to keep on my work table.The only thing i dont like is having to put the dies onn a magnet cutting side up then the paper and clear plate. So its extremely hard to see if your covering your whole dye. I have only had for a short time so havent been able to experiment.I use a lot of water color paper which is heavier paper this has to sometimes be run through twice to get a nice clean cut.But so far i am happy with this machine.UPDATE:This is the third machine i have purchased. The first two didn't cut worth a darn. No problem returning for the exact same item. I’ve changed my opinion 100% don’t waste your money. When i first got the third machine it worked beautifully i was GREAT…the others were lemons. Well after a few months of use i am now stuck with another lemon. It wont cut all the way through 60 /80 lb cardstock. I am so upset. I gave my gemini mini to my sister when i purchased this one so now im stuck with a lemon because past the return date and have to put out more money for another machine i gave away.I HATE this machine brand has done nothing but cause me problems.I purchased all new plates, magnet and metal shim thinking plates. Nope…it cuts fairly well around the edges but not in the middle and this machine is to small to move the die over to another spot on the roller. Its like the center of the roller has no pressure at all. I get an embossing look in the center of the design. Now its christmas time lots to do and have to order another ( different) brand machine.Seriously dont waste your money.1st picture didnt even cut around the edges let alone the middle.2nd picture vut out in a few spots but mainly embossed the design3rd try hit a halfway decent cut but had to it through three times and still had to use scissors to cut some if the spots. This is NOT a super detailed design so no reason it shouldn't be cutting.

I purchased the Anna Griffin, mini die, cut machine and took it with me to a four day craft retreat. I loved it! It is lightweight, quiet, and effective. I can’t wait to use it again.
