The MAIN reason customers love our machines is the dial that regulates the pressure of the roller (where the plates and materials go through). You don't have to work with various plates to get the correct "sandwich" combination. They are available now in our Bira Creative store, Amazon, Ebay, Walmart and Etsy stores.

I bought this over 8 months ago, praying it would be something I loved. The price was right for me, and I thought the dials were exactly what is needed for getting the right pressure. I was not disappointed at all! I love it! It is the best machine out there in my opinion. :)
I absolutely love my 6" machine and choose this over both my Spellbinders Platinum 6 and my Gemini Jr machines for everyday use. I am a paper crafter and almost exclusively die cut and emboss cardstock ranging from 80 lb. to 120 lb. in weight. I get 100% consistent results every time. No disconcerting cracking sounds, no plate warping, and while the cutting mat does need to be replaced to do so is cost effective. I typically replace my cutting mat once a year. I also love the 13" surface. I can either many items or just put a few at the top and roll back and forth. Easy peasy. Thank you Bira Craft for creating such an innovative and reliable die cutting and embossing machine!
Thank you so very much for sharing your positive experience and tips with our other video watchers. Please reach out any time with any questions or comments.
I've been putting my sandwich in backwards the whole time, with the cutting mat on top instead of the white platform on top 🤔 Yet I still got really good results in spite of it lol. I love my Bira Craft machine 🥰 And my Stamp Platform as well; it's the bomb! 😊
Yes, there are variations that you will discover. It's versatile. For example, my favorite, 3D embossing, can be done by removing the top plate and rollin it through, so we encourage experimentation---apart from the proper use of the cutting plate, that is! That's important.
@@biracraft2791 Don’t all the pix in the instructions show the cutting mat on on top? I’m confused.
Same here.
@@biracraft2791 onde posso comprar a plataforma desse modelo A5 ESTOU PRECISANDO DAS PLACAS ???? 😢😢😢😢
My first die/ embossing machine and I just love
Hurray! We're proud of our machines. Enjoy discovering all sorts of creative projects and reach out to us at any time, here or on our website: www.biracreative.com
I saw that there was a magnetic platform for the 6” Bira. It wouid be nice if a magnetic platform was offered wirh the 9” machine and also available seperately for those that might want that as an option.
I have the 9” machine and I love it. I love that it does it all! It can use the foiling and letterpress devices offered by other companies, as well as embossing, die cutting and it even works with steel rule dies!
Up till now my Sizzix Big Shot was my primary machine ( I have several other machines that I’d use when I couldn’t use the Big Shot) but I think this 9” Bira will be my primary machine now! I have used 8 different die cutting machines , manual and electric, so I’m experienced wieh die cutting machines. The Bira is simply amazing! Great price, compact design, and does it all!
I just opened my newest toy... A Bira Craft 6 and 9 inch Cutting and Embossing Machine and I cannot wait to play with it. Since I felt it was lacking some major operating instructions I went to my computer straight away and found the above instruction tutorial. Thankfully Bira Craft thought enough of us novice card makers to show us the best and easiest way to use their machine. So thank you for that. Now I wish there were more tutorials to accompany this one. I learn much faster if I can actually watch how a machine is used as opposed to reading about it. Guess I am more of a right brain thinker but a creative one, too. Having said that I hope Bira Craft sees my comment and puts up more tutorials. I would love to see all the various and fun ways to use this embossing machine. Well... I'm off to my craft room to create more cards.
Hello MaryBeth. We have seen your comment and appreciate your feedback. We're working on more product videos and are so glad you're happy with this machine. Happy crafting!
@@biracraft2791 Hi I just recieved the affore mentioned machine,but is very disappointed that I cant use it because no Die or sample material came with.Sharon at caselda5@aol.com I just did this through the response you gave Marybeth.
@@sharonparkinson9017 , Hi Sharon, we will reach out to your provided email for sure. It sounds like you would have preferred one of our starter kits, which includes some dies and materials.
@@biracraft2791 I'm on here reading your replies, i feel that the Bira company should have offered at least one free die sample of some sort & definately some very understandable paper instructions, this way your customers wouldn't have to take time out searching for it online, like i know that i'll have to do, if i buy this particular machine? , just keep in mind there are quite a few die cut/embossing machines for us to choose from. But with this said, i do believe now that i'm right here, that these instructions above will be helpful. Also i like the fact that you do read these views & that you answer our questions, thanks for that..
@@j.m.england6828 Hi Melody. We appreciate all feedback and show our team suggestions like yours to make the customer experience better. We offer starter kits for each machine, with dies, an embossing folder, card-stock samples and more. But we also listen to our experienced crafters out there who have all of these materials and prefer to buy the machine and dies separately, so we offer that too. We thank you for taking the time to offer feedback. It's how we improve.
This video is 4years old. Please do an updated video showing how it works with the newer products like 3D embossing folders, the BetterPress system by Spellbinders and the glimmer system by Spellbinders. Thank you.
This is my first and favorite die cut machine. But I do use it platform side down. Now I see this, I don’t know if it matters which side is up or why. It’s a nice big machine. I was naive and thought my dies would live in the little compartments but… ( look over at box overflowing with die cuts) I was naive if I thought I’d me satisfied with only a few.
Hello Loren, we're so glad you love your machine and here at Bira, we support your 'accessory addiction' :) Yes, it is actually good to use both sides of the platforms, especially the cutting mat, to extend its life. Have fun experimenting. You might fall in love with 2D & 3D embossing as well!
I have one exactly like this, it is just called something else. I've had mine for about a year and it is my first embossing and cutting machine and I really like that I can use all thickness of dies and embossing folders in it. The cutting plate also seem to be sturdy and this price suited me.
Thanks so much! We're happy that you're happy.
I received mine yesterday. Now I have to wait for my day off I thought about taking the day off 😅 but then reminded myself it takes money to play 😂
How can so many people claim to have the NEW machine in their name when Bira plus others have their name on it too/ Who does it belong to? I have the Bira 9 inch machine & love it!
Huh, I always put the platform on the bottom.
This seems a good quality die cut machine Please make it available in the UK ??
Hello, Aine. Please contact us directly so we can offer you some options. biracraft2014@gmail.com
I'm really new and confused. Will the due leave a mark on the cutting mat? Or am I doing something wrong? I'm scared I'm going to ruin my new toy. I have watched this video twice. Help????
Hello Lori. Yes, the cutting mat should get marks on it from the dies. But only the cutting mat. It is normal to need to replace cutting mats depending on use. Also, please be sure to flip over and use both sides as well as place the dies in different parts of the cutting surface for longer life. Also you can reach out to us or call us if you need any help at all. Just go to our website at www.biracreative.com
I have a question. I’m looking into getting 9 in machine for embossing, and I was wondering something. Looking at the top dial it shows die cutting, 2D embossing/letter press, and 3D embossing. What is letter pressing? I’m fairly new to some of this. Thanks.
Love the machine but the thick embossing folders do not go through.
I'm a a bit confused with the embossing die. Why do you have to run it through two times? I thought I just watched a video of the Sissix ( making Tim Holtz Village), and it only went through once. This was a big item I want to make and just want clarity. Would a embossed die need to be run through 2 times on any machine, or just this one?
Hello Katy. No, you should not have to run it through twice. Let us solve this for you. I'm sure you're using the setting adjustments and checking that the machine is set to 2D or 3D embossing. We also need to know the sandwich you are making and what kind of embossing folders (2D or 3D). We think it will be better if you email us directly for a much faster response at biracraft2014@gmail.com please.
Hi I just got my 6 inch machine and happy with the regular thin dies cutting, however I had difficulties to run thru it with my 1/8" thick dies. I could not use the regular base platform nor the adaptor. Please help.
Hi Amber. We're here to help. When some sandwiches are thick, adjust the height button and pressure button, and run it through. Let us know how that works for you. You can directly contact us at biracraft2014@gmail.com. where we will be able to respond faster.

I want to buy one of these but wondering if I can I use 6" dies with the 9" machine?
Sure, you can. As long as any dies can fit through the 9 inch opening, you're good to go. We also just introduced our own Bira Steel Rule Die sets. We're loading them on all platforms but they are on our www.biraceative.com site now along with our Mother's Day sale. Please contact us here or through our site for any other questions or comments. We're here to help.
Sus troqueles de 0.6 in son compatibles con la Big Shot?
Eso depende de la apertura de su máquina.
@@biracraft2791 Hola. Sí son compatibles. Ya compré dos y super excelentes. Son suaves en el paso por la máquina y cortan muy bien.
Where can I purchase the steel rule dies. On the ad it shows a flower set and then a heart set but I cannot seem to find any place to purchase them.
There are many online platforms that sell steel rule dies including Amazon, Etsy, Ebay and the major craft stores.
Ali express
Can it cut leather/faux leather?
Yes, with the die cuts.
How or where could i get custom dies?
We do not recommend any particular vendor and do the same internet searches as our customers to research the best solution for custom work.
Does the machines work with 3d embossing folders? I just bought 6 new folders so want to use the 3d folders on them. 🌿🌺🌿
Yes, it does, just remove the top platform altogether and roll it through for thick, 3D folders. Then you can adjust the pressure to tighter if desired. It is one tip we've been meaning to add to our video.
@@biracraft2791 l am having a problam with some of the folders blending over the paper where there shouldn't be anything. And if l go smaller to keep from getting them, then l don't see my 3d effects either.
@@biracraft2791 preciso do site para comprar a plataforma branca ????
I want to buy this any link or something?
Yes, you can choose between our 6 inch and 9 inch cutting and embossing machines on our website: biracreative.com and on Amazon, Ebay & Etsy under BIRA CRAFT.

The instructions appear to show the cutting mat on top of the sandwich. I’m confused.
Hello. No, the cutting mat will always be on the bottom. When you say "instructions appear to show" do you mean this video or the instruction book, please? Happy to help!
@@biracraft2791 : Hi, The instruction booklet that comes with the machine. I will follow your instructions; thanks.
