Craftwell - eBosser - Electronic Die Cutting and Embossing System

I do use it...I have it sitting right by my desk and ready to go all the time. It is the easiest machine to use...literally turn it on, load and let it go...it does all the work. It does work with Letterpress and every other die and folder I have tried...it is the best machine I have ever used!!! By: yvonne blair (11-Oct-14) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you!

Teresa Collins has come out with a new machine called the Cut n Boss that is slightly smaller and thinner than the original eBosser. This is the original one. By: Paula K (18-Jun-14) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

Yes you can! I cut them all the time in mine. By: yvonne blair (12-May-15) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

I was told that any metal die cut would work in this, and also embossing folders. I haven't had any problems with any that I have gotten so far of different kinds of brands. It just needs to fit on to a 8.5 x 11 size to go into the machine. May have to adjust the plate combinations. I have some that I have to take a plate out and insert a very thin tag board (cereal box) in it, sometimes a couple layers. But it will go through. I love mine and glad my hubby got it for me.

Frances, I’m not sure exactly what your problem is as I don’t know what combinations you have tried; nor do I have the same brand of embossing folder as you have. However, if your e-Bosser “spits out” a sandwich, then it is either too thick or not properly aligned. As a misalignment would be easy to spot and fix, I will assume it is too thick, in which case other plates will have to be used to make the sandwich.

First, if you use “A,” then the embossing folder, and then “C” and “D,” and it is too thick and rejected by the machine, the sandwich will have to be made thinner. Second, if you use “A,” then the embossing folder, “B” and “D,” and the paper in the folder is not deeply embossed, then the sandwich is too thin.

If it is too thick I would (and actually did) buy a second “A” plate. When you have that, make a sandwich with “A” on top, your embossing folder under that, followed by your second “A” plate, and then “C” or “D.” This will make a sandwich thickness between the first and second specified above.

If with the use of two “A” plates the sandwich is still not quite thick enough, insert “B” as well.

If the sandwich is too thin to emboss properly, again try a different combination of plates.

This all requires quite a bit of experimentation to find just the right combination and can be frustrating and wasteful. Therefore, you probably will want to avoid using any special paper or card stock until you have it worked out. However, whatever paper or card stock you experiment with, it should be the same weight as the “good” paper you eventually will be using.

I hope the use of a second “A” plate is helpful in finding just the right combination to work with your embossing folder. Please let us all know how this turns out for you.

No the Bigz Pro dies are too large for this machine. By: Paula K (11-Dec-14) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

It weighs approx. 12 pounds...I take it to crops and retreats! By: yvonne blair (12-May-15) Helpful Answer?  Yes  |  No Thank you! Report Inappropriate This Answer has been reported. Thank you!

I take my with me in our RV. I use it at our dinning table. I haul it down to my moms, over to my girlfriends. It does have some weight to it, but not so much that you can't take it with you.
