The magnetic cutting plate (C) is ideal for cutting with the Vaessen Creative Cut Easy A5 cutting and embossing machine (2137-054). The Cut Easy cuts effortlessly through various craft materials, from paper to felt. This cutting and embossing machine is suitable for thin and thick cutting dies, including steel rule dies like the Sizzix Bigz Dies. Besides cutting, you can also use the Cut Easy to create a beautiful 3D effect with embossing folders. In both cases, start with the platform as a base. Next is the magnetic cutting plate or embossing plate. Then place your material on the plate with a cutting die on top, or slide the paper between an embossing folder and place it on the plate. Add the base plate as the last layer.
Place the complete stack (or sandwich) in the Cut Easy and turn the handle to roll it through the machine. The magnetic plates prevent the layers from moving so that you can die-cut and emboss very precisely. Die-cut intricate designs from scrapbook paper, cardstock, fabric, foil, felt, cork and foam. Create depth in your cards and make beautiful crafts by combining different materials. View the manual and the product video for more crafty ideas. N.B.
