We have been waiting a very long time (over a year) for the release of the new Stampin’ Up! die cut and emboss machine! Today is the day you can finally order your own – yippppeee! Spend your time crafting, not cutting! The Stampin’ Up! Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine makes precise cuts and detailed embossed images every time. Use with dies and embossing folders to easily create accents and elements for cards, scrapbook pages, party invitations, classroom projects, and more. In this post I will point out the highlights of the new machine along with photograph comparisons of the retired Big Shot.
The new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is:
- Durable with high-quality results. The solid steel construction frame and rubber feet that securely grip the work surface produce crisp, clean, precise cutting and beautifully detailed embossing.
- Easy to use. The machine and tools are designed for an intuitive die-cutting and embossing experience. For example, all plates are labeled with a number and are color coded for easy reference and use when building your sandwich. And just like the name suggests, our Magnetic Cutting Plates have fully-magnetic surfaces to make it easy to securely position your dies and keep them in place.
- Simple to store. The platform folds for space-saving storage and looks pretty too–the sleek, clean design suits any crafting space.
- Portable. You can use at home or on the go with the folding platform and ergonomic carrying handle. It’s also convenient if you like to attend crops or other crafting get togethers with friends.
Machine Highlights
- Wide 6″ platform for all your crafting needs.
- Weighs approximately 8.1 pounds. Platform folds to make transporting easy and to take up less space when storing.
- Works with all Stampin’ Cut & Emboss dies and embossing folders.
- Simple to make a sandwich. Includes plates that are labeled with a number and are color coded for easy use.

- Additional plates are available – Magnetic Cutting Platform, Impression Mats and extra (clear) Cutting Plates for when they get over used.
- Great for seasoned crafters who want a solution for all their die cutting and embossing needs.

Extra Plates Available Too
Great News! The new Magnetic Plate does not have a pacemaker warning like the old one did (I just confirmed this with Stampin’ Up!).
I can’t wait to order my Magnetic plate which is very different than the Big Shot one. It is one whole sheet of magnet instead of 40 small magnets spread throughout the platform. This means, no more die jumping (that drove me crazy)! And no more switching bulky platforms between the dies and folders. Use the same platform for everything and switch out the thin plates.
Magnetic Plate Details – Thin, fully magnetic sheet with self-healing cutting surface. Magnetic Cutting Plate (plate 5) holds dies securely in place, even nested dies. This slim, portable sheet replaces a Cutting Plate in your sandwich, making it even easier to take with you.

Big Shot & New Machine Comparison Photos
The design of the new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss machine is exclusively Stampin’ Up! They collaborated with an outside company for the inner workings of the machine to get it just right. The sleek, fold up design makes storage so much easier than the previous Big Shot. It hardly takes up any room sitting on a table or shelf.
Storage & Transporting Option for New Cut & Emboss Plates
Since the new Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine is super portable, it makes sense to have a portable system for the plates too. I saw another Demonstrator show this and tried it myself. It works out great. You can store your platform, plates, dies and folders in the Craft & Carry Stamparatus Bag. Throw it over your shoulder and off you go to a fun, crafting event or friend’s kitchen table.
Obviously, the bag also works great for your Stamparatus and accompanying plates, mat and grid paper.
