Dream Cut - Manual Embossing & Die Cutting Machine

Hello friends,

This is Tanvi & I am here with a very special product today - the newly launched DREAM CUT, the first die cutting machine brought to you by an Indian company!

I have been playing around with this for a few days now & am loving its sleek & compact design & let me tell you it is compatible with most dies! Isn't that wonderful!

Some distinct features of the Dream Cut -

Body is made up of high impact Polymer with smooth edges for easy handling.
The platform & the frame is made of high quality, non – corrosive Alloy.
The cog wheels ( gears ) are made of high speed steel for durability & rough use.
The gear tips are smoothened to give excellent user experience.
The Roller diameter is larger than many other standard machines to increase the point of contact with the cutting die which enables to get a superior cut quality.
Roller mounts are designed to give a bit of cushion which helps in proper pressure distribution on the cutting die.
High precision in the Casting & Assembly of this unit will last a long time compared to other machines.
The cutting plates are made of moulded Acrylic which has self-healing properties compared to Acrylic sheets which are used in other machines.
The Bevelled edges of the cutting plates is a great feature which puts slow pressure on the Rollers & really gives you a Dream Cut experience!
This machine is designed for crafters & promises to give an ultimate user experience!
Spare parts & support from Itsy Bitsy will be made available.
The icing on the cake is the pocket friendly price.

The Dream Cut comes with

1.One white base platform 'A'

2.Two 'B' plates

3.One 'C' plate

REMEMBER these points & you can never go wrong with your cutting sandwich

*The white base platform plate 'A' is NOT the cutting surface

*Plate 'C' is thicker than Plates 'B'

*Plates 'B' & 'C' both have bevelled edges

*Both the plates 'B' are of the same thickness

*By using the right combination of the plates 'B' & 'C' most standard dies can be used in the Dream Cut

*When using intricate dies add one or two layers of the accessory cutting pads to act as a shim

Here is a video, an answer to many queries regarding its cutting & embossing feature -

Along with the Dream Cut Itsy Bitsy also introduces 3D dies in four designs to create fun & magical party decor in minutes.

Here are some images of the product launch party decor using these dies -

The Dream Cut is available online (remember it comes with free shipping) & can be purchased here or visit your nearest store.

Set of CAS cards with Fairy Flower Thin Cut Dies

Hello everyone, it's Juhi. Today I'm sharing a set of 4 note cards that I made using the Thin Cut Fairy Flowers Dies and patterned paper from the Chevron in Aquarelle 12x12" Paper Pack.

These cards measure 3 1/2" x 4 7/8" and are perfect for gifting as a set. I just love the Fairy flower Thin cut dies, it has 4 pretty flower dies which can be used individually or layered on top of each other. I wanted to keep my cards Clean and Simple (CAS) hence I've used one type of flower and left a lot of white space on the cards.

To make the cards, I first started by cutting and scoring the white cardstock to 3 1/2" x 4 7/8". I then proceeded to created the background for the cards by cutting 4 different patterned papers from the Chevron in Aquarelle 12x12" Paper Pack to 3 1/4"x 4 5/8".

For the first card I stuck the blue chevron patterned paper at and titled at an angle from the edge, as shown in the image below. I then flipped open the card and trimmed of the excess.

For the second card, I first stuck the orange chevron patterned paper in the middle of the card front. I then placed a piece of white cardstock slightly bigger than half the length of the orange patterned paper as shown in the image below. I drew a diagonal line on it with a pencil and cut it with a paper trimmer. I then stuck it on top of the orange patterned paper with double sided foam tape.

For the third and fourth card fronts I first stuck the patterned paper in the center of the card front and stuck smaller white cardstock panels on top.

Once the card backgrounds were done I stamped the sentiments onto strips of white cardstock using Itsy Bitsy Black pigment ink. I marked a dot in the middle of the strip and cut out till the dot from both ends to create a fish tail banner.

I then die-cut the flowers using the Fairy Flowers dies from handmade paper using shades similar to the patterned paper backgrounds and played around with their placements on the cards. Once I was happy with the placement I stuck them in place with liquid glue.

I also added some details like stems, leaves and a vase with a pen. For the flower centers I put dots of liquid glue, poured some gold shaker sprinkles onto them and simply shook off the excess.

I finally stuck or stamped on the sentiments on the cards to finish them. Here's a closer look at each of the cards.

Supplies Used:

THIN CUT DIE FAIRY FLOWERS	CHEVRON IN AQUARELLE 12X12 INCH PAPER PACK	Birthday Clear Stamps	ADHESIVE FOAM DBL SIDED TAPE
SHAKER SPRINKLES STAR STRUCK	CARD STOCK BRIGHT WHITE	SCRAP BOOKING GLUE	PIGMENT INK PAD BLACK
