This machine is light enough to carry around. Fits in one hand and so easy to sit in a chair or on the couch and cut some dies out while watching a movie! The first die was pretty intricate and cut on 80# cardstock. I used 2 copy paper shims and made two passes. Every cut was made smoothly without any jagged edges. This little machine did a GREAT job!! I ordered 2 extra sets of plates and each set had two A plates and one B plate.I am very happy with this “ work horse” and I would recommend it!

The plates last a very long time unless you force them through the machine with a great amount of force. I wish all machines like this one, big or small l, used the type of plastic used in these plates.

These plates last through many, many cuts. It's nice to be able to have an extra set on hand.

I love my Mini Blossom! So easy to use as I create without getting up to use my larger die cutting machine. The plates do not lose shape with use. Easy to pack and travel with.👩🏼💕👍🏻

I love my min blossom and use it all the time. I purchased the extra plates when I saw them on sale to have ready when needed. I was pleasantly surprised to find that it included 2 A plates, which are the ones you die cut into. It was like getting two sets in one. This little machine is a much have in any craft room. Highly recommend.
