I am so glad that I didn't buy the Cricut Expressions Die Cut Machine after seeing the demo of the Pazzles Inspiration in HSN. It connects straight to your computer, and it can cut whatever image or font you have in your computer. This machine can cut paper, thick chipboard, cloth, metal, rubber, vinyl. It has a pen tool where you can actually write using fonts on your computer. Because it can cut rubber, you can make your custom stamps. It does engraving on metal and glass. Hmmmm... what else... Oh yeah, the mat is 12 x 12, and if I'm not mistaken, they have a 12x24 too. So you can cut as small as 1/4 inch to as big as 23 inches.
If you go to the Pazzles website, the machine is $599 which includes:
- Inspiration™ Design software
- 1 blade
- 1 12” x 12” mat
- Instruction manual and tutorials
- 300 images
However, HSN is offering it for $549 only for today, in celebration of National Craft Month. And their package includes:
- Inspiration creative cutter machine - measures approx. 10"L x 21-1/2"W x 6-3/4"H
- 2 cutting mats
- Blade holder with installed blade
- Inspiration Studio software set
- 300+ image CD - includes 80 images exclusive to HSN
- User's manual
- Pen tool
- Pazzles craft knife
- Pazzles pick tool
- Pazzles chizzel
- Pazzles ruler
- Pazzles tweezers
- Pazzles bone folder
- Zippered tool kit
HSN is going to feature the Pazzles Inspiration again today at 12 pm, 5 pm and 9 pm ET. If you don't have cable or satellite TV, you can just go to the HSN website and watch directly on your computer.
I would say that this machine has everything you'd want on a die cut machine, except for portability. It sounds too good to be true. But I'll definitely wait and see what other people say about it before I decide to buy. Even though it's really tempting!!!
